Conservatives can never again call themselves the party of small government. This is surveillance in depth, Big Brother.
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

At around 17m. Yes. None of what’s happening is American or conservative. When T saying he wants rule of law = “My word is law. I am the Party. Party rules.” His camp is so desperate to straight up use the Xi/CN/CCP playbook. Also he needs to be 25th’ed. He’s not running the show. Miller & Vogt are.

Damn. Now I want a holographic book cover.
Warrants ignored. People detained without cause. Masked agents in unmarked cars. That’s not justice — it echoes the playbook of secret police.

ICE isn’t above the law.

Looking for an *L.A. based* artist who (against all odds) has time for a poster gig before the end of the year.

It's for a science + art event.

We can offer $500 for the gig.

Dreadfully sorry about the timeline. Link a portfolio if you're interested, I'll delete this post when we found someone.

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

The threats from unchecked AI are real — worker displacement, corporate surveillance, invasion of privacy, environmental destruction, unmanned warfare.

Today, a tiny number of billionaires are shaping the future of AI behind closed doors. That is unacceptable. That must change.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.

Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?
