I almost threw up listening to the news today... and then I realized it's leg day, and I'm at the gym.

Statement and call from @TheIACP, the world’s largest professional association of police leaders:

“IACP Calls on White House to Convene Joint Federal–State–Local Discussion on Public Safety

The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is concerned by the ongoing challenges affecting public safety, law enforcement professionals, and the communities they serve. Periods of heightened tension place significant strain on public safety systems and underscore the need for stability, professionalism, and respect for constitutional principles. 

The IACP emphasizes that effective public safety depends on comprehensive training, investigative integrity, adherence to the rule of law, and strong coordination among federal, state, and local partners. In times of uncertainty, officials at all levels play a critical role in de-escalating tensions by using measured, responsible rhetoric that reinforces lawful processes and public trust rather than deepening division. 

The IACP urges leaders and stakeholders to support calm, lawful engagement and policies grounded in proven practice that strengthen accountability while preserving the capacity of law enforcement agencies to coordinate effectively and protect communities.  

The IACP reaffirms its commitment to the constitutional protections that safeguard individuals from unlawful or unreasonable searches and seizures, recognizing that public trust and effective policing depend on faithful adherence to these fundamental rights. At the same time, the IACP underscores that officer safety is inseparable from community safety and must remain a fundamental priority in all public safety decisions. 

For these reasons, the IACP calls on the White House to use its convening authority, as soon as practicable, to bring together thoughtful federal, state and local law enforcement leaders for policy level discussions aimed at identifying a constructive path forward.”

Really excited I got to talk to @BharatRamamurti about what the polling says about AI, people’s intuitions of fairness in a hypothetical post scarcity world, and most controversially price controls

Check it out!

@RiverTamYDN accelerationism never works, making the world worse makes it worse and then it's worse. the way to make the world better is by making it better.

@C_Sommerfeldt @nycDSA It’s worth supporting the success of Mamdani’s administration for the progressive movement.

I trust Zohran on this as much as I dislike Hakeem.

@NickKnudsenUS With 100% honesty, @StephenM is probably terrorizing our country because he got rejected by a few latinas in high school. He's insecure, petty, vengeful, and taking out his childhood trauma on the entire country.

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

Holy sh*t

Twitter BANNED the creator of this ad because it moves voters 7 pts toward Dems.

Voters are DISGUSTED by Trump’s gestapo kidnapping US citizens in Portland and Chicago.

SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE

And follow the ad’s creator @_joejacobson_ so Elon can’t silence them!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Corporations aren’t going to regulate themselves.
Billionaires aren’t going to tax themselves.
The system isn’t going to change itself.

That’s why we fight to put working class leaders in office: so we can have a government that cares for ALL of us, not just the richest of us.

🚨BREAKING: Trump is now calling for the arrests of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

Just hours after deploying the Texas National Guard into their state without consent.

This isn’t law enforcement. It’s political warfare. Wake up.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

This messaging is approximately 142 times better (highly scientific estimate) than Ds are getting from leadership.

@PeterTwinklage This sums up the difference of viewpoints. Ezra is being the white moderate that MLK warned about, white Coates sees the danger of bargaining away people’s humanity ( see Jim Crow)

[OLD DAD @JTPspeaks]

Great take.

[Peter Twinklage @PeterTwinklage]

i think the Ezra Klein/Ta-Nehisi Coates conversation is fascinating because it’s clear both men articulate their arguments entirely from a place of good faith, but their respective positions can’t be reconciled imo because Coates is a student of history & Klein is one of politics

Mr. President: Read the Constitution.

The function of the U.S. military is to protect us from FOREIGN enemies, not Portland, OR.

In this country we have local and state police for law enforcement, not federal troops.

Stop deploying the U.S. army against Americans.
