Bluesky, a lot of you are sharing this but not subscribing to the newsletter, let alone paying for it! Do your part to make sure this social media platform is a viable means to sustain independent journalism! I am Pat Spencer dropping bucket after bucket to let you know I’m that motherfucker!

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Food and Drug Administration has delayed a promised review of safety data for the abortion drug mifepristone at Commissioner Marty Makary’s request to put it off until after the midterm elections,...

Bluesky’s head of trust & safety responding with a sarcastic image macro to a woman upset her husband was kidnapped by ICE is embarrassingly unprofessional & cruel behavior.

that account was then banned by Bluesky Trust & Safety. horrendously poor community management. what purpose does this serve?

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.

He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.

What a betrayal of American values!

This is awesome. Print is such a good way to get around a bunch of distribution (and surveillance!) mechanisms that seem otherwise mandatory in this very gross economy. It is really nice to see it spelled out like this.

It works great for us, and it'll work great for other places!
404 Media is making a print zine! About the surveillance technologies used by ICE. 16 pages, riso printed. Shipping early January. Features reworked versions of our best reporting and a few new things. We're very excited! And hope to do more if people like it:

can we please turn “guac wrap” into an urban dictionary thing that means “a nice thing i did for myself after i fucked up big time”

They absolutely should’ve stayed at four teams. There are never more than four teams that have a valid regular
-season case for a national championship. They fucked it up. Just create the stupid 40-team super league already and let’s get it over with.
Psssst….it’s only gonna get worse with 16 teams.
Notre Dame deserves no grace

That said: You make EVERYTHING about playing for the national championship, the only outcome that matters, and then “snub” a team?

I get why they don’t want to play in the silly bowl game we love. It looks bad, sure, but so would half-assing a loss to BYU

Seeing the impact of the ACC and SEC title games this weekend is a nice reminder of why the Big Ten’s auto-bids proposal was so bad.

Fortuna Files: The Big Ten is winning on the field. Its Playoff proposals? Not so much.
Conference title games elsewhere show the danger of automatic bids.
