It's a breath away from death and likely it's already too late ... (somebody charge up the defibrillator!)

The record will be about what was destroyed and not about what was created.

Uh, there is a slight danger in all the released video of a murder, and that is finding a jury that can deiiberate without bias. I, for one, could not possibly do that job

ICE is a private army under the direct control of POTUS (well, Miller, really) with uncontrolled lethal weapons and no accountability. This is unacceptable. Period.

The Waymo breakdown during San Fransisco power outage is a(nother) warning about dependence on AI/technology-it works great when things are good, but makes things much worse when things are extreme. Remember, we still put a human pilot in aircraft for when the machine goes (unpredictably) awry.

Human society's psychological wellbeing has deteriorated to the level of self-harming.

How many times in a day do you attempt something with software and it fails or responds in some unexpected way? Do you believe that level of performance is acceptable?

"I didn't vote for this corruption" will be words said by many

The moment has CLEARLY arrived.

Beware of politicians who campaign on hate of other humans because the definition of "other" widens and widens until it includes you.

POTUS to Pootus to Pedo. What a journey!

The Who was wrong, we are getting fooled again.

Simple experiment: put on one of those landscape, beautiful places background channels like Stingray: NatureScape on your TV. Go to your smartphone and start reading some social media. Just a couple of minutes. Then stop and look up at the TV. Do you notice a change in your feelings?

We have gone from POTUS to POOTUS

I object to "An official website of the United States government" carrying partisan, political messages

Do you think this Listeria contamination has happened because 1000s of USDA inspectors have been fired? What about other cases that might be missed? It terrifies me-I am powerless and cannot compensate; it's just less safe to eat anything now. www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-aler...

My right to peaceably assemble and petition my goverment for redress of grievances SHALL NOT BE ABRIDGED.

Let me explain how this works: there are more people fearlessly protesting than there are armed forces, national guards, ice goons, cbp, fbi, atf, secret service, cia, police and security rent-a-cops.

What he said, and others have been saying and what I'm trying to scream from every hilltop -- DJT is not in charge of the levers of the executive branch's police and military forces.

Seems to bear repeating, and when you actually do the math, it has gotten much much worse, much much faster so it is now very very very late ...

We are Kristi Noem's dog.

Seems to bear repeating...

Sorry Dad. Sorry Grandpa. I never thought this was going to happen to your US Army.

Over the next 15 months, we can expect a coordinated campaign — backed by the full power of the executive branch — to undermine confidence in our election system. Here’s what to expect, and how key actors can be ready to respond: bit.ly/4fRIqtA

I no longer believe the Supreme Court of the United States will protect me from injustice.

This is a lesson in how to interpret employment measures and learn that the collection process has various accuracies and lags resulting in necessary revisions which themselves have confidence intervals. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

The uninvolved keep thinking "Not here, never, not in America!". News flash: Here, Now, in America, in the state and town you live in. Like ivy, constantly weed it out or it takes over. We are at the it's taking over stage. It has grown deep roots, it is strangling the beautiful, desirable plants.

We need to reset what "success" means. This is a deep cultural, philosophical and psychological shift and will not come with ease or without conflict. The end of the increasing rate of population growth is a planetary-wide core issue redefining human purpose.

Tom Leher was funny to kids in the 60s, and adults forever. His critiques human foibles and insanities has remained spot-on. Good news—his stuff is online and free. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Leh...

From the Summer of Love to today: what the hell happened??

Weeding helps me understand how the pyramids were constructed.

The Department of Republican Propaganda, a cabinet level role.

Neither Congress nor the Courts will protect us from the Executive's coup. ONLY voters, in overwhelming numbers can save the democracy.

As I have argued for months: The person calling the shots in this admin was never Musk or Bannon or Susie Wiles. It's always been Shadow President Stephen Miller. Anything Trump says on e.g. immigration is cheap talk; Miller is the decider. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

History will show Newt Gingrich was the queen of the termite hive that hollowed out the beams of democracy.

We must evaluate the trends. They are not good. Escalation is continuing.

Every inch yielded in California will be a mile taken everywhere else.

Repeating this louder for those in the back...

I am afraid the bots and inhumans are increasing here, and it is as expected.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
