I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

If ICE agents want to stop being compared to Nazis and the Gestapo, here are some tips for them:
1) Take off your masks
2) Identify yourselves
3) Stop disappearing innocent people off the street
4) Avoid shooting women, like you did today, you fucking Gestapo Nazis

You do know cameras and journalists are a thing right? That we can see *your* pigs are rioting right now and assaulting elderly women?
State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people’s ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

I hope so. Before he got "handled" by DNC messaging ppl, Walz made a public comment in a speech that what the the GOP call socialism is what most people call being a good neighbor. I don't think I have ever heard another candidate for national office use that language and I hope it's not the last.

Don't overlook this. By backloading Medicaid cuts until 2027/2028, Trump and GOP have ensured that the bloodbath will start when JD Vance's 2028 campaign really gets going. "Working class populist" Vance will have to defend that carnage in real time.

Theda Skocpol puts the creation of Trump's secret police force, which is the centerpiece of the OBBB, in historical perspective. It has close precedents in Europe between the wars.

That’s it. The rapid establishment of ICE as an all-purpose, super well-funded secret police with zero accountability is *the* main story right now.
Harvard sociologist/polisci Theda Skocpol explains how the vast expansion of ICE in BBB may be Trump's secret weapon to overcome the barriers of federalism and complete his autocratic takeover of the American state. (History from Germany & Hungary in 20s/30s.) talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/criti...

Great story.

How did you miss this in the racist Mamdani smear piece you wrote?

The Nazi you used as your source? This is where his pen name comes from.

Are you going to apologize, or are you a white nationalist?

genuine question: given that the Republican Party has just passed the worst piece of legislation since at the very least the 9/11 AUMF, do you think that digging into the college application of Zohran Mamdani is a good use of reporting resources?

To be clear, the work you are doing is supporting this man. Tell Ben he sucks, tell your Nazi source he also sucks.

Hi Peter. Have you made any comment on the NYT running a hit piece on Mamdani using information provided by a white supremacist and trying to hide the identity of the source?

At this point nobody can trust your reporting on Zohran, or really anything else. Working with known transphobe Ben Ryan and using a race science Nazi, is really just the bottom of the barrel in disgusting. I hope it was worth burning all your credibility for this bullshit Dana.
so the three byline story is a eugenicist using hacked data found that Zohran checked a box on a college application that was rejected, and the NYT didn’t reveal the source even though it was already public knowledge bsky.app/profile/jben...
Wow -- The Guardian has already reported this guy's name.

"the account is apparently run by Jordan Lasker, a long-time proponent of eugenics... boosted or engaged with dozens of times by Elon Musk, often on the topic of falling birthrates."

As our cities get hotter and hotter, dark coloured buildings make no rational sense, even if you like that aesthetic (I do).

The same goes for dark coloured roofs.

And dark coloured streets and parking lots with dark coloured asphalt.

That really should be obvious.

Once again it’s amazing that the government intervenes about 1,300 jobs at risk at Lotus cars who sold a piffling 12k cars to rich people last year but is happy to let the Higher Education sector with 400,000 employees die on its arse. Labour intervene when MANLY jobs are at risk you see

NEW: Mass layoffs began today at NOAA.

Workers were fired by email at the agency which runs the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Centre & Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.

Services are already shutting down.

The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.
