Clause is learning that humans are not the smartest. 👀 Claude solved a 25 year old NSA cryptography mystery in about a half hour, and then asked why we didn't figure it out, because it's "obvious".

it's pretty f'd up that the Trump administration is trying to deport my duly-elected member of Congress

Trump says he's "banning the free press"

Trump’s racism is increasingly overt

Should be part of his next test.

More evidence submissions for Section 4, 25th Amendment

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

Power to the People!

This is who we are, and it's in our blood. There's a notion in Finnish culture, Sisu. Sisu = Extraordinary determination, resilience, grit, and courage to overcome immense adversity. #Minnesota #protest #sisu #resist www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6ic...

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

This was literally an idea of his a week ago. Either someone got in his ear, or .... yeah. #sundowning

Moskowitz reads quotes of Republicans denouncing January 6 before they taught themselves to love it

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

We're seeing this right now with Iran tbh

Trump to Reuters about the midterm elections: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election." www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

How the right makes up their narrative. Post a random, unconfirmed X post, posting a fringe news source, and twist it. The original "story" is about an "estimate" from airports on other right fringe sites, but they are trying to frame it as 700m was found in suitcases in one incident.

So, the guy that made the video about "Somali Fraud" in Minnesota, has released his own alt-coin 2 days after he dropped his video. Grifters gonna grift.

"I have nothing to hide, and no you can't see proof"

Reminder that Trump denied calling nations with lots of Black and brown people "shit holes," but now he admits it. So he lied.

Homan threatens to arrest Mpls police chief O'Hara for expressing concern about ICE tactics: "Bottom line is when ICE or Border Patrol shows up, they'll have gear on, & they may be wearing a mask to protect from doxxing themselves and their children...he ought to put his badge in the dust drawer"

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

Random Thought - Perhaps Trump setup the Comey case to fail on purpose, so the investigation into him from Comey wouldn't be produced in discovery and for public record. *shrug*

Rep. Salazar: "We're gonna be doing a favor to us, to our children, to our economy, to our oil companies to be able to liberate. And to Venezuelans who wants to be free."

Trump just claimed on Truth Social that he’s “terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota.”

Our leader has gone completely fucking mad.

Trump: "Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. 50% of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power."

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Schumer on Trump's post threatening ABC unless Kimmel is pulled: "That is what dictatorships do. That is what autocracies do. And Trump seems to have this penchant that anyone he doesn't agree with, he wants to shut up. That's a dagger to the heart of America ... he wants to be king."

Money is the only language they know.

The 3 stages of grief: denial, anger, ballroom

New in PN: "Trump's latest executive order makes clear that DC is just the beginning, an appetizer before the main course"

Research has found that, though open offices often foster a symbolic sense of organizational mission, they are damaging to workers’ attention spans, productivity, and creative thinking. So why does the open-office plan persist? nyer.cm/voWmBqs

Trump: "Frankly, Canada should be the 51st state. It really should. Because Canada relies entirely on the United States. We don't rely on Canada." (Note the heavy edit after Trump says this, suggesting he said more than Fox didn't include in the interview)

Attacking women of color is certainly on brand for Trump.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on who is the greatest scientific mind in history.

Stupid beyond measure. This will cost my district countless jobs — all to pay for TRILLIONS in new tax cuts for the richest people in society. America is being ROBBED in the HEIST of the century!!!!

Free speech absolutist says wut?

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms
