Everyone in this photo was pardoned by trump except the unconscious cop who Republicans blame for the attack.

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

When the desire to “own the libs” leads the executive branch to celebrate a blatant violation of someone’s Constitutional rights. And the media puppets celebrating this are proving they have no interest in protecting speech. They only want THEIR speech protected not the speech

350,000 people with nowhere to go will be rendered undocumented on Tuesday. Not because Haiti is safe, no, of course not. Because Secretary Noem and President Trump don’t think they should be here legally. What the hell are we doing? Is this who we are?

This is a terribly misleading graphic which uses a non-zero-based Y axis to make a 1% difference seem much larger. I recommend Tufte's "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information".

“It’s just a couple dead Americans, I don't understand why do you care so much" is officially the new MAGA stance on national security.

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet. 1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them

In the first hours after the strike, Trump called on the Iranian people “to take back their country.” With what? Sticks and stones? For the sake of projected bravado, our bone-spur president is urging the Iranian people to come out of their houses and die.
