Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

But it is tho…chatting with ai should be considered like chatting with a malevolent demon that may seem like it can help you but you can never trust it and it may well drive you into madness

I voted for Harris. I’m angry because 1. It’s just not true and 2. This speech is fundamentally a defense of a status quo that led us here. It scapegoats people whose vote they did not earn in order to insulate the people with actual power from blame. www.npr.org/2025/06/26/n...

Ideal relationship dynamic

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

Sometimes you really do have to put on your “I know you fucking lying” eyes.

Finally someone is taking them to task about calling the DoD the DoW, and their reckless abandon of veterans who lost their jobs. They don’t care but I’m grateful to know that someone is paying attention!

A "pause AI" letter that I actually like (and signed)! Because it's not about imagined doomsday scenarios, but rather putting the brakes on the rush to impose synthetic text extruding machines in schools in particular: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca...

Big corps right now are kicking everyone who built the palace out even though it was their home, keeping the palace for themselves because of the mere fact the string of the purse is tied to their belt. Yet they expect workers to be passionate, be family and feel ownership of the palace they build.

Black Lives Matter.

JD Vance is willing to lecture the Pope but not President Trump over Catholic theology.

I thought this shit sounded familiar!

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

"Heartwarming: When this grandma couldn't afford her husband's cancer treatments the President used her for a photo-op" is a freakin Clickhole headline.

I just finished using this, which I became aware of due to @clairewillett.bsky.social. I cannot believe I am saying this about a web app in the year 2026, but: it is well designed and easy to use

This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.

If you think you hate AI, I promise you don't hate it enough.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.
