Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

@jamesetta_w Even Denver has this and the airport is in an empty field 20 miles from town.

ICE agents brutally attacked and broke the arm of a North Long Beach resident and U.S. citizen. The videos are horrific and should concern not just our community but the country.

I’m proud of the neighbors who documented and stood up for the family being terrorized by ICE. Donald Trump and his inhumane and illegal deportation machine must be stopped. Long Beach stands with our community and our immigrant families. ICE is not welcome in Long Beach. Abolish ICE.

@bklnfin3st @mattyglesias It helps that Denver built like 80k housing units in 5 years, rent prices have been cratering.

@bklnfin3st @mattyglesias As someone who was doing this, my current rent in the city is cheaper than the suburbs and our place is much nicer too.

My latest: Chicago immigrant detainees write letters to Pope Leo as clergy prepare to visit him in Rome.

The handwriting is messy, the spelling faulty. Some cried as they wrote. Others were so excited that they struggled with what to say. Some did not know how to write at all, and, in those letters, only a few words are legible.

But, still, the messages are all the same.

“Today they detained me, and I’ve been here for hours. I’m not afraid of what will happen to me; I’m afraid of not being with my family,” one immigrant detained at the Broadview processing center wrote to Pope Leo.

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate-- then were told to lay off. https://t.co/cpIBv4aSo5

Anthropic's leaders need to stop commenting on the emergence of RSI like a local news anchor reporting on traffic on the 101, and acknowledge that they are the traffic, and they're not going to build something that they don't want to exist.

They should move beyond "pacing" language, commit to specific policies and red lines, explain why those lines are red, and then use that costly signal to build an international consensus around norms.

It's not that I trust the CCP, or that I think global lab monitoring and verification is imminent. But the status quo is absurd.

You've got US lab leaders writing (or favorably quote-tweeting) essays about slowing down while simultaneously saying "things are moving faster and faster" and "btw, our internal models finished mathematics on Tuesday, next up: physics."

The effect is the equivalent of Usain Bolt winning race after race while using his press conferences to bemoan the dangerous speed of modern sprinting on one's legs so would everybody please try a little less hard next race, and then ... breaking his 100m record again the following month. Honestly ask yourself: If you were China, why would you take this pausing/pacing stuff seriously?

DHS raiding a member of congress's home to search for immigration paperwork filled out decades ago by her now-deceased father really checks all the fascist police state boxes.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

The AP player of the week in college football for Week 5 of the season is @CycloneFB 's @FloraAiden. The former walk-on ran for three touchdowns and a career-high 212 yards and passed for two TDs in a 45-42 victory over West Virginia.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

@mcinthedc You can drink at a bar in Wisconsin with your parents and it’s up to the bar on if they will serve.

Seems like a good compromise.

Wilber remains gravely ill, with the bullet still lodged in his body, and he remains in ICE detention.

According to the detainee who spoke with his wife, Wilber appeared discolored, extremely swollen, and in significant pain.

Our immediate demands are clear: restore Wilber’s communication privileges and take him back to the hospital. He needs access to appropriate medical care.

Thank you to everyone who has continued supporting Wilber and his family.

Look, if you can't laugh at the president desperately promising angry farmers that he'll magically replace massive quantities of fertilizer from our nextdoor military ally with small imaginary quantities from a tinpot authoritarian thousands of miles away, then you simply have no sense of humor.
