We evolved the technology to destroy ourselves but not yet the psychology to feel secure without threats.

Judge indefinitely halts shutdown layoffs noting human toll

Calling it what it is, along with the real message about what the knee pads are for.

Dreamforce. Clogging up the Financial District, massive hotel price-gouging. Just a lot of people trying to figure out how to profit off of one the worst enterprise products around that survives by marketing and a lack of competition, and gleeful admissions of layoffs by replacing people with AI.

Wait whaaaat. Did Montana just find the way to beat Citizens United?? Fingers crossed!!

The requirement that hospitals treat emergency patients (EMTALA) does not confer eligibility into federal health programs. The share of federal health funds used for undocumented individuals’ emergency care is extremely small (well under 1%), so this is not a significant “free health care” program.

Federal law (PRWORA) prohibits undocumented immigrants from accessing most federal health benefit programs. (PRWORA 1996) Medicaid / CHIP and ACA subsidies explicitly require “qualified” immigration status or impose waiting periods; undocumented immigrants are ineligible.

They killed ~120 men, ~230 women & children at Wounded Knee — innocent souls slaughtered. Every soldier there was complicit in genocide, not heroism. Whitewashing this is reprehensible. Ask yourself why they are trying.

Looks like we are about to give a metric shit-ton of tax dollars to the makers of Tylenol, instead of blowing it on things like healthcare, research, education...With any luck, they'll sue him directly.

Attacking universities and then banning foreign workers (let's call it what it is) is really something of a strategy. This akin to kicking farm laborers out of the country and using consumer's tariff taxes to pay farmers. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Blind loyalty to a president is “morally treasonable,” Roosevelt said. Now we see threats of jail, deportation, and funding cuts for protest. Free speech isn’t a favor from power—it’s the foundation of democracy.

Thank you !

The very leader most of these farmers voted for has been scaring off the immigrant labor they depend on. Now, instead of standing on their own two feet, they’re being forced into socialism—begging Washington for bailouts no different from the student loan handouts they once condemned.

Florida’s proud tomato farmers are plowing under fields of perfectly good crops because they can’t afford to harvest them. The cost to pick and ship a box of tomatoes has jumped to over $10, but they can only sell for $3 or $4 thanks to a flood of cheap Mexican imports and a rigged trade system.

No.

SEAL Team 6: sent to spy on North Korea, killed civilians instead, sank the evidence, and called it a mission. Congress wasn’t told, the objective wasn’t met. America’s “elite.” Accountability? Missing in action, like common sense.

Ladies and gentlemen, the party of small government.

If America wants to be a beacon of hope, it must live up to its ideals. End secret arrests. Restore due process. Protect the dignity of every human being.

We built our strength on diversity. Immigrants and their children shaped this country’s culture, economy, and science. To target them is to betray our own future.

Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com

This is not freedom. It’s not justice. It’s not what the Constitution promises. If the government can disappear some of us, none of us are safe.

In America today, people can be snatched off the street for nothing more than looking “different.” No ID, no warrant, no due process. Just zip ties and fear.

It's time to take the narrative, and to take over the MAGA acronym and the American Flag. credit: Zazzle

legit laughing my ass off

The Voting Rights Act was gutted in 2013. Within hours, states passed new voter suppression laws. Not years. Hours. That’s how fast your rights vanish. If you don’t show up, they’ll write the future without you. You may not care about politics, but it sure as hell cares about you.

In 1964, only 6 senators voted against the Civil Rights Act. Today, entire parties campaign on rolling it back. Not voting won’t protect your rights. History is full of people who didn’t fight until it was too late. Don’t be one of them.

Rob Halford rode a Harley on stage in full leather, belted high notes that melted faces, and was proudly, loudly gay the whole time. Kid Rock cosplays being poor and yells at beer cans. One's a legend. The other's a punchline.

John Lewis walked, bled, and lived for justice. Five years since his passing, we honor him the only way we know how: By refusing to stay silent and getting in more Good Trouble.

Undocumented immigrants are barred from nearly all federal benefits. They can’t get Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, or welfare—despite often paying into these systems. They contribute, but the law blocks them from receiving the help those taxes fund.

Undocumented immigrants pay billions in U.S. taxes each year. Many use ITINs or false SSNs, contributing to programs they can't access. They also pay sales, gas, and property taxes. The idea that they don’t contribute is false—they help fund services millions rely on.

Nancy Mace gets wrecked by a community note

It is incredibly rare and courageous for a career official to resign and speak out. Michael Feinberg was an FBI official until last week. He joins me tonight. Lots of qs. And he wrote this eye popping piece about what happened: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/good...

At a doctor’s office — with no warrants, masked, no ID 😳 What are we doing? 🇺🇸

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

In 2020, after Trump killed Iran’s top general, Iran fired missiles at U.S. troops in Iraq. Trump’s team said, “no one was hurt.” That was false. Over 100 troops had traumatic brain injuries. These weren’t just “headaches.” They were real wounds, and they were downplayed from day one.

The 'State's Rights' people are silent right now.

Within the next 3 years, there will be so much AI, in particular AI video, people won’t know if what they see or hear is real. Which will lead to an explosion of f2f engagement, events and jobs. Those that were in the office will be in the field. Call it the Milli Vanilli effect
