Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

The knowledge of how many innocents’ deaths he is directly responsible for is clearly tormenting Musk psychologically, and I think he should be confronted with it roothlessly at every opportunity until he has a psychological break like the guy in The Tell-Tale Heart.

So, uh, just to be clear: birthright citizenship is for everyone, not just immigrants. It's just that most of us in the US haven't ever had to think about it in our own lives. Take it away, and what replaces it?

Be on the lookout for this suspect.

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

If you live in Massachusetts and want to protect your Haitian neighbors this is a great time to consider joining or supporting LUCE.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

On the fourth anniversary of Dobbs, the closest we've come to an official death toll from abortion bans is: 68. By the end of 2023 alone. It's a number that feels both unfathomably large and also, smaller than expected. I wrote about it for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Significant escalation in the war on algae

The plan: forever warp the job market through taxpayer-funded subsidies of unsustainable AI businesses just long enough for all other companies to lay off millions of workers and reorient their work processes around proprietary technology and then once this is accomplished, raise inference prices.

Also, the idea that President Obama had anything to do with actual decisions regarding the Reflecting Pool, as opposed to trusting experts to do the work, is nuts. Trump shouldn’t be dealing with any of this either, but because he is, he screwed it up.

A STAT report found that a 79-year-old man received special access to a powerful new weight loss drug …. Then White House spokesperson Kush Desai publicly lashed out at STAT’s Lizzy Lawrence, who in her original report, noted that Desai did not explicitly deny Trump was the patient. trib.al/p2XD5Ii

NEW: Insane screwup inside Meta. The company exposed worker keystroke data that was being used to train AI — making it potentially accessible to anyone at the company. The data included personnel and performance info, private convos, full transcriptions…imagine your coworkers seeing all of that.

Tech companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft are ignoring data controls mandated under California law, researchers say.

Fuck you, A24. AI doesn’t belong anywhere near creative industries.

I have eaten the blue paint that was in the reflecting pool and which you were probably saving for July 4 Forgive me It was delicious so American and so flag

How many people have died today alone because of the illegal war he started? Clearly he doesn’t give a shit. Doesn’t even pretend to care for the economies and lives he implodes daily because he’s out of his fucking mind.

Happy Pride, New York City!

“The Trump administration’s decision this week to put Heath Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in charge of special education programs has sparked a sharp backlash from advocates for students with disabilities, who say the move will hurt children & that his views on autism make him unfit for the job”

The genius of Obama's big speech is this: He effectively stated that Trump/MAGA do not accept the Declaration of Independence's promise of equality. In the battle over our 250th anniversary, we need to put that basic truth squarely on the agenda. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

Greetings from Washington DC

The number of people at the Knicks parade today were roughly equal to the combined population of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana & Alaska. So if you heard about any issues in NYC today, but not about any crimes in those states, you know the agenda of that media.

Colbert arrives at the Obama Library opening in a tan suit. 😂

Cowards. I’d be furious as a military family. Own up to the choice you made to go to (an illegal) war on a whim. This has, and always will be, the cost.

I delight in his pool fury.

If the Matt is Taibbi, just scroll past, habibi

Exactly.

Be the swamp that you wish to see in the world.

ICE has no authority to detain U.S. citizens. But yet, Trump has let them operate lawlessly, and they have detained citizens for days and weeks at a time. I introduced an amendment to finally put an end to this.

don't listen to those nerds at the weather channel, all the cool kids are going to the large metal apparatus during the thunderstorm

I have to say, removing a usurper king's name from a building really is a great way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding.

Let’s celebrate the U.S. 4-1 World Cup match victory by watching Trump’s name being taken off the Kennedy Center.

The World Cup might be done for the day, but the night is still young: Nearly 10,000 people, including myself, are watching C-SPAN's live stream of the Kennedy Center right now. www.youtube.com/live/uZfkRJX...

I loved this.

they're back from lunch, folks

The AI consciousness debate is a trap, argues Randima Fernando, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology. The real question is not whether or not a model “feels” fear when its internal workings light up; it is who profits from blurring that line and who gets harmed.

I’ll never understand people who vote against their own self-interest every single time. I get the desire to align an identity to a party, but when that party actively tries to kill you (and everyone else), maybe it’s time to do some reflection?
