Ok, we can do it now.
What date will the Sabres officially clinch their first playoff spot in 15 seasons?
One reply per person. I’ll give the first person with the right response a signed mystery pic from @TSEBuffalo
Go.

Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies.
In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War.
This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth@SecWar
This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic. Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives. The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield. Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives. Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered. In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service. America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

This is not some woke lib saying this. This is literally the man who wrote the Trump administration's AI action plan.
Dean W. Ball@deanwball
Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American AI to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an AI company in the United States.

DHS spent today replying to individual tweets saying they left this man in a coffee shop "determined to be a warm, safe location" only for video to emerge tonight showing it was the middle of the night, cold and the coffee shop was closed.

Here are the FACTS. On February 19, 2026, Buffalo Police Department alerted Border Patrol about a non-citizen in their custody. Our agents confirmed that Mr. Shah Alam entered the United States as a refugee on December 24, 2024, and was not amenable to removal. Border Patrol agents offered him a courtesy ride, which he chose to accept to a coffee shop, determined to be a warm, safe location near his last known address, rather than be released directly from the Border Patrol station. He showed no signs of distress, mobility issues, or disabilities requiring special assistance.

@NitroSpidey Absolutely read it first! One of my favorite books!
English
I’m considering getting the book, give it a read before the film, never done that before.
Is that a good idea? Or should I just judge the film on its own and read the book later?

Been getting more hyped for Project Hail Mary recently ngl. I have and always will be a fan of Lord and Miller’s work, plus a lot of people are saying this could be something special, plus the trailers just have something to them that makes it look really solid, can’t wait.

A single nasal spray vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, as well as bacterial lung infections, and may even ease allergies, says U.S. researchers.

In 1890, about 20% of all Irish people in the world lived in and had recently arrived in the United States.
In 1910, about 15% of Italians globally lived in the United States.
This is a feature of our country, not a bug.
White Papers Policy Institute@WhitePapersPol
12% of all Nicaraguans now live in the United States, about 870,000 people. 50% of them (450,000) arrived between 2020 and 2024 under Biden's TPS and open borders policies. 7% of Nicaragua's population left & entered the US in just 4 years. America needs mass deportations.

BREAKING: A whistleblower says women at an ICE detention center were forced to wear diapers, denied basic sanitation, and packed onto floors “like goats in a cage.”
People lying in urine and feces.
No menstrual supplies.
Boxes filled with used diapers.
He reported it — and was fired.
This happened in Baltimore.
LongTime🤓FirstTime👨💻@LongTimeHistory
ICE forces women detainees to wear diapers—compare them to "goats locked in a cage." 'I saw people lying in feces, throwing up, and sleeping in urine," said whistleblower. Overcrowded on the floor like "pictures that I saw in school of how they brought slaves over from Africa." "We didn't always have sanitary stuff for them if they were having their cycle. They were given diapers." "And because you can't put the diapers in the toilet, and the rooms didn't have trash cans. So some of us would give them boxes. And they would fill up with these diapers." Days after reporting the conditions to his supervisor—he was fired for not being a "good fit." The abuse occurred at the ICE detention facility in Baltimore, Maryland.

🚨BREAKING: The White House Thursday refused to rule out the presence of immigration enforcement at voting locations this November, a response that follows extremist rhetoric about placing federal forces at the polls. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/wh…

This was always the plan. Now they’re saying it out loud.
Use ICE as a secret police force to pursue political enemies and intimidate voters.
The time to stop this is now.

THIS IS A MEMORIAL. BIKE. RIDE.
YOU TEAR GASSED A FUCKING 7 YEAR OLD.
Ed Krassenstein@EdKrassen
ICE is now tear-gassing children. This took place on an Alex Pretti memorial bike ride and march in SW Portland. This girl is believed to be 7-years-old.

🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol are now pistol-whipping 16-year-olds and smashing their heads into the curb.
In the video, an agent illegally tries to detain an unaccompanied minor, in Long Beach, California.
The child has his hands in the air.
An agent runs up and hits him in the head with a pistol. Then two agents tackle him and force his head down against the curb.
After the child is already on the ground, pinned by two armed adults, another agent brings out a K9, for what reason exactly?
Then one agent puts his knee on the child’s neck while another handcuffs him, even though he’s not resisting at all.
Unaccompanied minors are supposed to be handled through child-welfare procedures, not slammed into concrete by armed agents.
Using a gun as a weapon is deadly force. You don’t get to use deadly force on a child who is standing still with his hands up. And putting a knee on someone’s neck while they’re restrained is a textbook violation of use-of-force rules and basic constitutional rights.
ICE/Border Patrol agents are brutalizing people for sport, they are executing people because they can, trafficking children, and if they aren’t stopped no one will be safe.

BREAKING: Senator Mark Warner reports that the FBI raid in Fulton County has some suddenly suspicious things going on.
The FBI head of the field office in Atlanta has suddenly quit or been fired, likely because he didn't think this search warrant was warranted.
The US attorney who signed on the search warrant is also from Missouri, not Georgia, which is extremely odd.
Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard was there, and she's been taking apart the intel community that was in charge of looking at voter interference.
Trump is trying to rig the election!

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Please, if you're a lover of fiction, what book do I HAVE to read this year? Mind-blowing, incredible, you recommend 10 toes down to anyone around you.
(Please don't advertise your cousin's novel, my dear. I get you want to support, but tell me the one you really enjoyed.)

Incredible and inevitable—
Police chief says ICE agents violated his own officers' civil rights while off-duty.
A female officer was boxed in by ICE agents who demanded her papers, pulled their guns on her, and knocked her phone down as she tried to film.

@estherzelda0514 They should feel unwelcome. They should dread going to work every day. They should hate the person they see in the mirror.

There should be social consequences for joining the Gestapo during the rise of the Fourth Reich, yes.
Keith Olbermann@KeithOlbermann
Memos show ICE agents scared, being disowned by families, growing requests for psychiatric help, internal pleas for volunteers to do this. Good.
