- Oh hell yes.
- Reposted by Tom BridgeIt’s very strange that this article on the staffing issues at Newark Airport doesn’t mention the fact that DOGE fired 400 FAA employees a few months ago, and union officials warned about exactly these kinds of shortages.

- Reposted by Tom BridgeSince I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office And he's going to keep using it after he leaves! Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal
- Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional The AG & the WH Counsel oughtta be ashamed of themselves for allowing it abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."
- Reposted by Tom BridgeI don’t care what Ozturk wrote. It doesn’t matter. This is America. We’re fucking free to have opinions of all sorts. It doesn’t matter. You don’t get to lock up people for bad thought. That’s against the fucking law and morals and fuck every last person arguing that this is a crime. Fuck all of em

- Andor remains an absolute masterwork
- Reposted by Tom BridgeThis is so important. So many of us are freaking out all the time - my neighbor says his shrink told him 80% of her patients are bringing up anxiety about the ongoing catastrophe - but so few top Dems seem to reflect our urgency, fear and anger.
- Reposted by Tom BridgeHate that this remains relevant, but given the news about ICE raids in restaurants around DC today www.eater.com/24364171/ice...
- One of the prices that we pay for normalizing mask use is that it allows government agents to hide their faces with impunity, too.
- Generally, if you're wearing a mask and a badge, it's because you're doing something you know you should be ashamed of. Just saying.
- Parents at my friends' kid's school are having to form a human chain to keep out masked agents of the US govt. Masked. Agents. Of the US <*OUR*> Government. What the fuck? How is this okay??
- Reposted by Tom BridgeAmid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk: -Is not accused of committing any crime -Is nonviolent -Was in this country legally -Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to -Has been locked up for six weeks
- Shit's going down today. There are government played vehicles in my neighborhood, and at a fucking school, ready to harass parents who are dropping off their kids. This isn't okay. This is aggressive violence and people - real human people - are going to get hurt today.
- Reposted by Tom BridgeStrong rumor from credible source that ICE raids are coming to DC tomorrow.
- I very briefly considered sending some boxes to the UK today. Very briefly. It would be cheaper to get them their own plane ticket. BEFORE duties.

- We should be counting stuff like this, the stupid petty lawless shit, but I'm not sure it's actually gonna do any good.
- Just got the updated terms of service for the Developer Program, and it seems that whenever Apple is presented with an opportunity to do the right thing, instead it chooses to do a less right thing. The court's argument was clear here, so why only do this for the US market instead of everywhere?
- Man, how quickly has the DC economy fallen apart? This quickly. (Cc @dieworkwear.bsky.social)

- Reposted by Tom BridgeJust yesterday I was thinking about how, when social media platforms rolled out algorithms, everyone was like “we don’t want that.” And they were like “no no, trust us, the data says you do; it’ll be great.” Now not only are the algorithms not great, they sucked the life out of everything
- from @caseyjohnston.bsky.social, worth considering

- I tuned out of the Nats game in the middle of the eighth. What a wild last two innings.
- No spoilers to say that the team doing the scoring for Andor is hitting it just as far out of the park as they did in Season 1.
- Big fire and response in Shaw right now near Vermont Ave NW and U St NW. I can smell the burning, whatever's going up.
