Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

Absolute must read on the AI bailout-in-progress: apparently it's not enough that lifetimes of human ingenuity and creativity have been stolen and enclosed to create generative AI and balloon billionaire wealth - much more public looting is in store...

It’s an impeachable offense a minute at this point

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Here's what people don't get about H1B in tech: it's already a globally competitive labor market. The question isn't whether foreign tech workers will compete with American ones - they will - but whether they will hold their jobs and spend their incomes here or abroad.

Water Tower Place has not been the same since the Snoopy store closed

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

Glad this story is finally public but also incredible that it is taking media so long to dig up what is essentially open knowledge in these communities rn.

what’s remarkable about this is that there are zero winners at all, one of the biggest lose-lose deals I can remember the Dem cavers will catch incandescent shit for it the rest of the Dems will catch collateral fury the big R win is… jacking everyone’s health care costs ahead of midterms

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Also angry fed/mil family. The ACA saved us years ago. I want that for everyone.

🙌🏼

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Primary Schumer

no, but there was a period in history where my dad could land in Canada with no money or formal education, get a job at Nortel as an electrical engineer, go over to a rail signalling company, stay there for 36 years, riding up to a reasonably high-paying position, with defined benefit pension

People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Imagine if we had functioning regional high speed rail across the country.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

I really think they do not plan to open the government again. This is Voight’s dream scenario Ruin morale enough and everyone quits. He doesn’t know the meaning of public service

In the name of protecting Jews, Jews have their funding cancelled, get kicked out of seminars, and are removed from leadership positions in Jewish Studies to be replaced by non-Jews.

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were: Black Baptist Churches A Mosque A small Appalachian church

They don’t care about article 1 so maybe we stop paying them?

Feeling pretty good about my choice to road trip to Army/Navy. Unless Trump take that game too

Via Anna Barrett: Auburn University apologized for accidentally sending three emergency alerts to students and employees about an active shooter, a tornado and a hazardous waste spill within the space of minutes early Thursday afternoon.

Bari Weiss directed that 60 Minutes cede editorial control over the Trump interview to Trump. He then proceeded to edit out the most significant passages of the interview. newrepublic.com/post/202618/...

Dick Cheney lived long enough to witness the horrors he had unleashed.

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc. Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Looking forward to her debut at the Kennedy Center

A deeply insecure unqualified child is in charge of our military because Trump thought he looked like “central casting” when he saw him on Fox, and he knew he is a weak minded fool who will eagerly cater to all Trump’s worst ideas and impulses.

Reminder that the Admiral leading SouthCom resigned. Who is in charge?

Here’s what they actually thought: they’ll just go after the left wing Bad Jews (who aren’t really Jews so it’s ok) but we’re the Good Jews so it will be fine. joelhs.bsky.social/post/3m4gzansohs2a

Something that's very clearly going on is that Fuentes et al are trying to capitalize on very real changes in American attitudes towards Israel. He thinks that those changes -- opposing the Netanyahu govt -- could equate with convincing people that Hitler was cool. 6/x

When you call yourself the leaders of a democratic country, but have to hide on a military base from the people that you rule.

None of this is correct. Good thing we have a steady hand on "nuclear"
