Eisenhower liberal. Math major pursuing data analytics for humanitarian purposes. Decent people can disagree.
- I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.
- NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

- This an excellent primer on this grotesque mess. Heed her warning at the end about the emails. I read something by Peter Attia yesterday so repellent my body physically recoiled and I couldn't finish the article. These men are all monsters.

- This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all. "Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact." people.com/ballerina-fa...
- All 83,000 acres of an Alabama National Forest. I did not want to share this week’s USDA press release as there’s no comment or objection period, and I don’t want things to seem hopeless. So I’ll note the comment and objection period is the midterms. These are your lands. These are the stakes.
- The proposal to open all 83,000 acres of Conecuh National Forest to oil and gas leasing raises serious questions about risk and reward. The forest has low development potential, minimal existing leasing, and acknowledged environmental risks. Yet climate impacts aren’t addressed. #UnmuteAlabama

- Masked thugs on the streets. Measles outbreaks across the nation. Blatant government corruption. Coverup of group of elite sex offenders. Ruling party trying to rig elections. Leader building grandiose monuments to himself. Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service. Third world America.
- I also think "he was literally selling pardons, none of these are legitimate" is a great message.
- Illinois is joining the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network. I refuse to sit by as Donald Trump undermines science and weakens our nation's ability to detect and respond to global health threats.
- "It seems very clear that Grok's malfunctions are just directly flowing down from Elon Musk's severe personality defects. No reasonable product engineer or company head would push for any of this." @whstancil.bsky.social talks Elon's AI and much more with @timmiller.bsky.social:
- The Illinois Department of Public Health sidestepped the federal government this week by independently joining the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). It is the second state to do so, after California joined the network last month. trib.al/0ecIsxF

- Just an insane story: a U.S. citizen sent a simple email to a federal prosecutor to oppose deporting an Afghan asylum seeker. DHS responded by pulling his personal data from Google using an administrative warrant and showing up at his home to harass him.

- Therein lies the problem. ICE is terrorizing Los Angeles, and local police are choosing not to enforce the law banning masked federal agents. This is how trust collapses.
