38 YEARS ago, Star Trek: The Next Generation--aided by outstanding performance by Vincent Schiavelli as the holographic arms salesman/dealer--explored the idea that a for-profit autonomous weapons system could endanger an entire planet's population. It should air everywhere!

Left in his wreckage lies the once-great GOP. Keep it up and our entire nation, our alliances, our very Constitution will lie in ruins. "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Re AI, Watch 1988 STTNG: Arsenal of Freedom Enterprise visits planet Minos, where an automated weapon system (destroyed all) of its inhabitants. Episode highlights the dangers of an autonomous arms race and serves as a commentary on consequences of advanced weaponry. www.imdb.com/title/tt0708...

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

US Forest Service and timber corps are "spraying glyphosate (RoundUp) in record amounts in California’s forests" “wedding of chemical industry & Forest Service has got to be seriously and deeply looked at,” USFS is “addicted to herbicide use and glyphosate, and we need to get them into rehab.”

Congressman bans SNAP critics from six McDonald's franchises he owns

It's been 60 days since the President started his illegal war with Iran. According to the law, he must withdraw troops NOW.

Pulling troops from Germany sends a message to Europe. But it also sends one to Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran that America is less interested in leading, less reliable as an ally, and more willing to stand alone. @markhertling.bsky.social explains why that’s a mistake:

Citizen Hero, by resisting illegal order, unlike ice goons, is not complicit in trump's crimes.

"'Central Europe is sooo back,' a Polish friend and government official commented on her private Instagram profile upon learning the results of Hungary’s parliamentary election." Europe's problem area could become the engine of reform the continent needs:

The Wexner/Epstein/Trump Admin connection puts a new slant on this 2017 public land exchange story. www.whitehallledger.com/story/2023/0...

Under the 24th Amendment and the SCOTUS’s ruling in Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections, the govt cannot make the right to vote conditional on paying money. The Court held that any monetary cost tied to accessing the ballot - even indirectly - is unconstitutional. The SAVE Act is unconstitutional

GOP would never put themselves in the line of fire like Pretti did

Dismantle DHS. It's a failed post-9/11 experiment. It's too big. Unwieldy. Bust it up.

Breaking news: Top Justice Department officials have stripped Ed Martin of most of his expansive responsibilities, sidelining the staunch Trump ally from many of the controversial investigations he has championed.

Quote from Trump just minutes ago: "The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting." In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Nice try, elmo "Musk wrote that Mr. Epstein “tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED.” Also, elmo “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” Mr. Musk emailed Mr. Epstein in November 2012" #EpsteinFiles #TrumpCoverup www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/u...

God bless these people.

Unbelievable that a story like this has to exist. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

We have no reason to believe that all Trump's goon squads are in fact sworn federal agents. Could easily be oathkeepers, proud boys, Jan 6ers, etc., white nationalists allied with Trump, deputized to instill fear and exact retribution. Is that why ALL are masked? No uniforms, badges or warrants?

This is who trump and his soulless crime syndicate killed. Empathy is their enemy, sympathy their bane.

In light of 2 murders and many deaths in detention, demand that "Speaker" Mike Johnson, AKA sock puppet, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune call immediate, emergency, PUBLIC HEARINGS! 202-224-3121 Haul Miller, Bondi, Noem, Patel, Bovino, Blanche in, put UNDER OATH, to defend DHS/ICE/CBP tactics!

A lot of these militias would get a sympathetic interior sheriff to deputize them UNPAID 🙄.Cuz even CBP wasn’t stupid enough to give them a job! That’s who’s on these “teams”. You can tell. You’d see them roll into town occasionally. Outsiders and they ALWAYS caused trouble. Local LEO had to fix it

Press: Stop accepting the original premise! What do you call 6-7-8 heavily armed, unidentified, masked men in insignia-free tactical clothes BUT a "mob?" Renee was LYNCHED. Alex was LYNCHED: UNarmed (as was Renee) his holstered weapon was REMOVED by them, THEN he was shot in the back by 1/

Don't accept the DHS premise! ...Federal gov't has corrupted the crime scenes and refused to allow local forensic staff to collect the evidence. They withheld ALL evidence they took from local LE and THREATENED local officials if they dare conduct their own investigations as required by 3/
