The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

If only America would protect school children the way it protects Teslas.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

credit where credit is due to Wired for doing some great reporting on this over the last few days

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy.

I admit I did not have "OpenAI gets Temu'd" as a pale horse but if this is what does it, lol

The general reason why crypto has kept popular is not because it's a novel way of doing transactions - it's not, and it's slow and terrible - but because it helps VCs and others avoid SEC regulatory oversight because it's effectively used as a security, but not regulated as one.

I was told point blank multiple times in the last year that I was "missing something" about OpenAI and was "dead wrong" but not one of these people could say why. Not a single person has an argument as to how OpenAI will become a real business. They're all pie in the sky

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?

Land doesn’t vote. Stop pretending it does.

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process. For $250. For her classroom…

He told you what you wanted to hear. He knew he wasn’t going to follow through with actually helping people.
