🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.” That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

WTF

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

Border Patrol has a culture of cruelty, disdain for accountability, and impunity for human rights violations. As the Trump administration continues to put Border Patrol at the head of its violent immigrant enforcement campaigns, Congress must hold the agency accountable. 

I keep waiting for a credible report to come out on how the environmental costs of generative AI have been overstated but every article is like "lol no it's much worse than you imagine."

This is going to make trying these people harder. We still have to try them.

The move here for democrats is to make this the campaign ad for every single election but then also actually make it come true KEY PART

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

At lunch today I bought bags of tampons and pads and dropped off at the two local food banks.

The people spoke not just in major races but in lots of smaller elections. #nokings www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

All dressed and ready to curl and then the Zamboni broke. Sigh.

The people have spoken and the Democratic party should listen to them. With our rights and freedoms under attack, we need visionary leaders who serve the people—not special interests or billionaires—and who are committed to building an America where everyone has their basic needs met.

The flip side of this is the male author who was asked about his writing routine, and who talked about how much he loved the feeling that he could close his door and then “the day is completely yours” to focus on writing. He had, at the time, two young children… and, of course, a wife

They are destroying what SHE built. #TeenVogue

When is enough enough? 🤯

As polls open across the nation, know your rights this Election Day.

This is how I felt watching All the President’s Men this past weekend. In the final scene, I realized the reporters are now gone, the newspaper has been hollowed out and sold to a billionaire for parts, and the same is true for the television broadcast.

In case anyone didn't realize Tuberville is a fucking clueless idiot, now you know.

From MeidasTouch Legal AF: The Convicted FElon DOJ is now deleting court documents on J6 terrorists who have been in trouble with law repeatedly. The DOJ was caught when a judge noticed a document missing on a J6'er, who wanted to bomb Obama's home & was convicted for it. I bet these are ICE now.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that the Trump administration likely illegally suspended SNAP benefits, ruling that at least reduced distribution is required to go forward under law using the $6 billion reserve fund. Judge gives the Trump admin until Monday to respond as to whether it will act.

I got a million problems; what people buy with SNAP cards ain’t one of them. Everyone should police their Congressmen the way they police total fucking strangers at the grocery store: we’d actually be better off for it!

The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY

this whole piece is fascinating but this section really stuck out to me as why so many people are the way they are. they project trump himself onto themselves, and he is their identity. an attack on trump is a direct attack on them

1. This will be a forced labor camp; 2. Utah is already planning to make it easier to commit people to it.

Want to hear a scary story? It’s about an author who didn’t register their copyright and had no recourse when someone infringed on their work!! ☠️

Tens of millions of people rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families. Our government must not let people go hungry.

🚨This case will help define whether copyright law can adapt to the realities of the internet age

There are few things more troubling than a super-rich person using their money and influence to bring about a delusional fantasy that requires Armageddon to happen first.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

He's talking about a cognitive test for dementia.

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses. There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

As a supervising attorney, I am here to tell young lawyers that AI is absolutely a threat to your career. I do not mean that it will replace you. I mean that if you use it, you increase the risk that another attorney will replace you when you are fired. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump is laying the groundwork to undermine the 2026 elections — filling his administration with election deniers, weaponizing the Justice Department, and attacking the rule of law. Trump’s allies are preparing to control every part of the election process.
