🚨New case🚨 Police in Norfolk, Virginia have completely blanketed the city with surveillance cameras. They can access the database of these cameras anytime w/o a warrant. Today, @IJ filed a federal lawsuit challenging this mass surveillance system. 🧵 ij.org/press-release/federal…

De’Aaron Fox has to be a Knicks plant. This guy stinks.

My king

Thank goodness for Birthright citizenship 4-1

I refuse to believe there are people who actually enjoy weather of 90 degrees or higher. You're lying to yourselves because you were pre-conditioned to like summer growing up because you got it off during school.

Her State Tried to Silence End-of-Life Advice 🧵 @Kinger_DC

Dmitry was too drunk to put these papers into a shredder himself so he had to create an AI video of himself. How’s the 3-day lightning offensive going, Dimon?

I know a million people have already said this, but this is one of the best Stanley Cup Finals ever

It doesn’t matter who’s in charge. FISA 702 can’t be renewed without real reforms. Case in point: Trump’s latest nominee for director of national intelligence was peddling election conspiracies just a few days ago.

Accidentally re-inventing “thinking” from first principles

The facts in Jimerson were truly outrageous. On the left is the house cops had a warrant for (including the garage they were supposed to search). On the right is our clients' home that they ended up raiding (with no garage and a massive wheelchair ramp)

No, sweetie. Donetsk was a city of a million roses when its own Ukrainian flag flew above it. Back then, it was also the fastest-growing and most rapidly prospering city in Ukraine -- home to what was the finest regional airport in Eastern Europe, one of the world's best football stadiums, a state-of-the-art railway terminal, and one of the cleanest, best-maintained cities in the region. Its elites were running Kyiv, and every time I visited Donetsk as a student, riding the famous trolleybus Route No. 2 through the city, I was amazed by how many new office buildings were appearing, how much money was flowing into the city, and how many international companies were opening their doors there. Fifteen years ago, to us kids from Donbas, Donetsk felt like the center of the universe because it had everything one could possibly dream of. It was a young city of universities and libraries, where the overwhelming majority of boys and girls from across Donbas went to study, including those from my own small hometown an hour away by bus. Names like Liverpool or Detroit Rock City may mean nothing to you, but our Ukrainian Donetsk was a city of great rock clubs and unforgettable concerts. We traveled there to see Western bands perform. We bought rock merchandise at the legendary Right House store near Krytyi Market. Scorpions, Rihanna, and Beyoncé performed at the famous Donbass Arena. Schoolchildren from across Donbas were bused in to watch Shakhtar Donetsk matches. The city even had a famous monument to The Beatles. It was a city where we sang songs on guitars in its beautifully maintained parks and along the Kalmius embankment before heading out to buy the famous "green Donetsk burgers." Our older friends moved there after graduation, formed rock bands, recorded full albums, and held wedding celebrations in the squares around Donbas Arena. We traveled there to visit the legendary Radio Market in search of films, music, and books. And then you arrived. And you turned the wealthiest, most prosperous Ukrainian city into a piece of shit. You deceived many of its people with sweet promises of Russian oil-fueled prosperity broadcast from television screens, but what you brought instead was war. You transformed a thriving city into a criminal wasteland ruled by ethnic gangs from Russia, into a kingdom of Stalinist terror straight out of the 1930s, complete with torture chambers in the infamous Izolyatsia prison camp. You turned the magnificent Donetsk Airport into lifeless gray rubble, while the vast stands of Donbas Arena have spent a second decade slowly being reclaimed by weeds instead of hosting Champions League finals and Metallica concerts. You swept away an entire generation of the city's men through your forced mobilization and threw them against Ukrainian machine guns until there were barely enough people left to keep basic municipal services running. Because of you, prosperous Donetsk became a withered desert without reliable water, because your war destroyed the canal system that carried water from the Siverskyi Donets River into Donbas. For years now, people have lived with chronic water shortages and have been reduced shitting into plastic bags forever. You dragged Donetsk back like seventy years in time. You turned it into a depressed backwater, devoid of hope and future. Even ten years ago, tens of thousands of people, the most active, the most talented, the most entrepreneurial, fled the city and found refuge in Kyiv and elsewhere in Ukraine. Many of them still remember our Donetsk with tears in their eyes, the Donetsk that existed before the arrival of the "Russian World." You transformed it into something that even my pro-Russian acquaintances are shocked to see when they return after years of occupation. It was you who trampled the million roses of our Ukrainian Donetsk into shit beneath the tracks of your tanks and the boots of your death troops, turning them into a foul swamp of death and despair. And that stain will forever remain on the conscience of fascist Russia, which brings nothing but destruction, decay, and death wherever it goes.

It turns out when you give government agents access to incredibly powerful surveillance tools and put no real safeguards in place, bad things happen. 404media.co/cops-keep-gettin…

“It’s very important that you get a REAL ID so that we can tell you how unimportant it is.” —the federal government, basically

For years, the Feds have been saying that the point of REAL ID is that it definitively proves who a person is. But now, after our client Leo Garcia Venegas was detained three times, a DHS official has testified that ICE agents can't trust REAL ID. reason.com/2026/06/08/in-law…

National media would be calling for a federal takeover of the city if this was Philadelphia.

Texas cops fired dozens of tear gas grenades into an innocent woman's home. They smashed windows, wrecked her fence and drove through her front door. Her daughter's dog went deaf & blind. Then the city left her with the bill. Six years later, her saga is finally over. A thread.
