Video shows Mayor Lurie’s security shoved man to ground before fight Video shows moments before SFPD officer slammed to ground by man in Tenderloin brawl, calling into question the officer's narrative.

Video contradicts claims by Lurie and police

It's a hard lesson to learn, but you can NOT assume that police are there to help you, even when you call them.

These guys are experienced lawyers and they let the police into the building during an active dispute over who controls the building. An understandable mistake but still a big mistake.

House of Representatives blocks war powers resolution 212-219.

Funny how they always have just enough votes to stop these things!

my first book (2020) was about online neonazis and my second book (2024) was about christian theocrats. they gained strength, voltronned and became a government. my third book (2027) is going to be a history of notable sandwiches so i hope this means we will be governed by sandwichocracy

we should have a referendum on this. the vote would be 100,000,000 - 900

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

there's literally no way to liberate a people by murdering their children en masse. Israelis use liberating Gaza from Hamas as a justification just like I'm seeing Americans (including Iranian-Americans) justify it here. but it makes you a monster, an accomplice to monstrous things.

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

So despite the ICE abduction this morning, Columbia didn’t take any steps to cancel classes or move them remote. No idea how noncitizen community members are supposed to feel safe showing up to study or work today.

Brad Lander: β€œIt’s pretty outrageous…once people think that they don’t have to follow the law because the president doesn’t, workers suffer, our universities suffer, students & faculty suffer.”

St. John’s University can’t just UNrecognize faculty unions after 56 years. That’s not the law works.

I’m curious to hear the union’s counter proposal. Here’s a possible one: teach the children yourselves then

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."

From Virginia Woolf's notes about her first experience with T.S. Eliot: "a polished, cultivated, elaborate young American, talking so slow, that each word seems to have a special finish allotted it."

Having to watch shit like this go completely unchecked on a day like today of all days is absolutely fucking intolerable

It will take decades for the US to recover from the institutional damage that the Trump administration has done to science agencies. Which of course is the point.
