It's amazing how many people have retconned a fantasy Biden administration. DOJ brought two sets of indictments. SCOTUS invalidated one by rewriting the Constitution. Aileen Cannon ignored the law to sabotage the other.

I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of - new account fatigue - new app fatigue - useless upgrade fatigue - terms of service fatigue

Both should be pursued. Neither impeachment and removal from Office nor the 25th amendment are likely to succeed. That’s not the point right now. The point is to continue to show how dangerous it is to keep this madman in office— and who is responsible for doing so

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

1928: we can never have a Catholic president, he would take orders from the Pope! 2026: any chance the Pope can fill out the rest of the term as president?

I hope all the people who voted against Genocide Joe are feeling good this morning

This really sucks

It shouldn’t even take Pete Hegseth to make supporting TPM attractive. It’s a solid news outlet and the only one that comes with Josh’s daily insights on top of great independent reporting. Go become a member. You won’t regret it.

Remember when RFK Jr. unilaterally decided that COVID19 vaccines should no longer be recommended during pregnancy? Well, COVID19 increases the risk of preeclampsia. And it turns out that getting boosted, either before or during pregnancy, significantly reduces the risk of preeclampsia.

🤦‍♀️ How many times do I have to say this? Join your local Indivisible or 50501. Protest. Call your reps. Volunteer locally: literacy, homeless, soup kitchen, poll worker. VOTE. SO MANY OPTIONS and y'all act like you have no power and there's nothing you can do. bsky.app/profile/inth...

Can't stand pontificating far left "ethical refuseniks". Who don't care if the house is burning down because they dont like the firemen.

Do this please, it's easy. I worked there in the 70's - don't destroy these historical documents from the space program & other good stuff we did.

Wow.

"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI. AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.

last month the US secretly deported nine asylum seekers to cameroon where they’ve been trapped at a local government-owned compound until they agree to return to their home countries where they face persecution and death. none have history of violence.

I will be voting at the earliest opportunity. I will be encouraging others to register & vote. I will be helping others to register. I will be driving known others to vote I will do everything in my power between now & then to help others believe Midterms will happen. I will act as if they are.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

He can say whatever he wants and issue whatever executive order he wants, but he has no legitimate power to actually do anything like this. Panicked posts like this one give the impression that he can make good on his threats. He can't.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

also, when you undermine the rule of law, it's much easier to steal

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

"Our" Ambassador refuses even to spell his own title correctly, no doubt for the descriptor it contains. His other priorities seem just as deeply misplaced and remote from any conception of diplomacy. This can't go on.

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

If Kamala had been elected Minneapolis would not have been turned into a war zone where people are gunned down in the streets.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed? CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Remember this.

Hey, folks—our kids are under real and horrible threat from AI. Please sign this petition to help protect them. The more people who sign, the more attention we can bring to the issue, so the faster we can get something done. Thanks! c.org/ZJRmN5jmsb

The way an entire country based on “We, the people” has chosen to abdicate it’s collective power over the past year to the people they gave it to rather than taking it back—and then whining about it—is so shameful. We can, and must, get off the couch and do better than this, folks.

Everything you need to know about how the world functions (or, more to the point, doesn’t) in a single thread.

Don't need to imagine, Sinatra had something to say about multicultural liberal democracies 🧵

This is the story you didn’t know you needed to read today.

Only been trying to say this all year. It's always a fight. ALWAYS. It's up to US, y'all. youtube.com/shorts/n5Tqa...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try. There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

A great list of what we can all do - small collective actions add up to make a huge impact. Please read and share this important article by @djrothkopf.bsky.social : davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/how-to-sto...

"One of Tina Peters’ lawyers, Peter Ticktin, suggested on Trump ally Steve Bannon’s podcast this week that the military be used to free Peters from prison." And that, my friends, is what we would call "an illegal order."

Seems like that Gmail thing isn't true but maybe there's a lesson here about what happens when you keep turning new features on by default and you make it difficult or impossible to turn them off, and also what happens when you lump useful machine learning in with forced slop under the "AI" label

Just nasty malicious racist fucks is about the best you can say about these people

Good News: I have successfully convinced an older person to no longer use ChatGPT; instead, to use Google/DuckDuckGo for more accurate answers. Concerning News: I’m terrified at how many ppl are using ChatGPT as a search engine: THE most unreliable & inaccurate source of info on the planet.

Here's the drill. (and this was an assault. This was not part of an arrest nor detention).

When the U.S. stopped policing foreign disinformation, Russia didn’t stop producing it. Kirk’s assassination brought it roaring back. (Gift link with strings) wapo.st/4moekj1
