Exactly. Take it from this German, people did laugh at the nazis in 1933. Hitler and Goebbels were widely ridiculed, but it didn’t change a thing, if anything it probably made them seem harmless and jovial even though their intentions & end game were clear from the start.

“We need to remind ourselves that we are descended from generations of radicals.” Historian @harveyjkaye.bsky.social explains why the Left should embrace America’s 250th anniversary, while remembering the nation’s radical history. Read the full story — zeteo.com/p/let-us-cel...

Power still out and an inch of water in the basement from the storm. Good thing I bought all the books the day before to put them on new shelves. It could have been worse. Gonna be a long weekend still have to decided if I’m going to replace the basement laminate flooring or keep it bare.

“I run the protection program” Mike Johnson is giving Democrats more reasons to vote:

I just signed an executive order to support faster, cheaper, and easier public transit across California. I'm directing state agencies to prioritize key local transit projects by enforcing clear deadlines, modernizing arrival data and payments, and expanding employee benefits.

According to pro AI bros: 1. Mass copy right theft is okay 2. Same AI companies robbing artists turning into weapons manufacturers and causing genocides is okay 3. Our water, land and energy being destroyed by data centres is okay But criticising any of this is not okay because “AI IS THE FUTURE”

“AI is just like the car, the internet, electricity, the phone” - counterpoint, no it is not because all of those things served a human need. It has been 4 years and AI has still not found the need it must service. If you’re going to be condescending, at least have the intelligence to back it up.

A victory for trans rights, patients rights & human rights. (Of course, these are all the same thing.) This case isn’t over but this victory for trans children and their parents protection is important.

The Big Hole River, a blue-ribbon fishery that's become a focal point in a years-long debate over nuisance algae growth, is poised to receive an impairment designation.

If there was any doubt before, there should be none now: The Supreme Court is part of the anti-democracy movement led by Trump and the billionaires behind him. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-p...

Explaining a gap on a resume can be daunting for people seeking work.

Vance dismisses Watergate scandal, says ‘deep state’ went after Nixon - The Washington Post. Vance seems remarkably ignorant of history. Republicans ended Nixon’s presidency and they have never before been called the “deep state.”

Four years ago today, the right-wing Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Women' s rights over their own bodies disappeared overnight. Remember: abortion bans were never about “protecting life.” They are always about instituting control.

Wrote along these lines last year: “The nature of post-industrial economies further devalues conquest—you can’t invade your way to your own Apple or Pfizer. Territory has little utility in itself.” www.deadcarl.com/p/the-death-...

It’s come to my attention that scammers are trying to impersonate me in comments, chats, and direct messaging on Substack and other social media platforms. If you receive any suspicious comments or messages like this, alleging to be from me, I suggest that you immediately report them as fake.

Great to bring together leaders in tech, finance, consumer rights, and law enforcement to create new solutions for fighting cybercrime, tech-enabled fraud, and online scams. This task force's work is critical to protecting consumers and supporting victims throughout California.

My doctor is retiring… that kinda makes me sad

The country is being run like a Trump casino headed for bankruptcy www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

As the screwworm spreads... Remember that Elon Musk’s DOGE cut $15M from a screwworm monitoring program. And we're now learning that Trump’s USDA delayed a project to develop new ways to contain the parasite and held up construction of a monitoring facility. The incompetence is dangerous.

in trying to dismiss the NAACP’s lawsuit against xAI, Trump's DOJ is both retreating from its legal duty to enforce Black people’s right to a livable environment, and declaring that Black people have no rights under the Clean Air Act that xAI is bound to respect ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
