I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

i would like to have one (1) easy week please.

This feels like something that should’ve been figured out BEFORE these robotaxis were allowed on our streets. Cops pull over drivers all the time for specious reasons as pretext for unlawful searches. How come Waymo gets a pass? Why do we treat robots better than people? apnews.com/article/waym...

Abortion is healthcare. When people can’t access timely reproductive care, lives are put at risk. A 63% surge in sepsis should be cause for an immediate reversal of the abortion ban. But it’s never been about life. It’s about control. They don’t care if we die.

We built a whole system of checks and balances to prevent this bullshit, yet here we are. Can’t close gitmo, can’t get universal healthcare, can’t forgive predatory student loans, but a washed-up reality-tv nepo-baby clown can get jerked around like a puppet and destroy it all in less than 12 months

I know this sounds cruel but the cold hard fact is we need to appeal to more voters if we want to win elections. That’s why I argue that we need to dispense with purity politics and accept candidates who want to ban Ezra Klein from receiving medical care.

I bet some conservative think tank did the math and found that the more children’s bodies hit the floor, the faster the line go up

why not opt-in? just ask permission first if this is truly a positive feature then surely copyright holders will be happy to participate and have their work included if asked just ask permission first

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

I assure you, you do not have to continue Charlie Kirk’s work.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

The saddest thing about Charlie Kirk's murder is that the president's name is mentioned many many times in the Epstein files

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

It's worth remembering a lot of things right now. One might be that the president who found angry words tonight sat silent for three hours while his mob stormed the Capitol, forced legislators to hide and flee, and threatened to hang his vice president. He pardoned even the most violent of them.

settings > content & media > autoplay video & gifs = off

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

the people who mocked and made up shit about the attack on paul pelosi have thoughts about decorum and we should definitely take them very very seriously

Good luck North Carolina! We are in this fight together - no new dirty fossil fuel pipelines!! #StopNESE #climateEmergency #greenEnergyNow

Question: What do Zohran Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries, Vito Fossella, AOC and the Adams administration agree on? Answer: Stopping the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline project, which would raise utility bills & super pollutes. Hey @governor.ny.gov Hochul, are you paying attention? #NoTrumpPipelines

🔥NY Assemblymember Anna Kelles’ compelling statement calling on Gov Hochul @governor.ny.gov to REJECT the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline that NYS already rejected TWICE but now, after a private meeting w Trump, is resubmitted for fast-track approval. NO to NESE! nyassembly.gov/mem/Anna-R-K...

NJ DEP just disabled all attendee mics in the ONE public hearing that was scheduled bc folks were speaking up during the break. Why are they fast-tracking #NESE and silencing NJ citizens? We do not want this pipeline! #StopNESE

I'm attending Food & Water Watch's event, “NJ: Say NO to the NESE Pipeline at DEP's Virtual Public Hearing” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/fww/event/83...

Recently i’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how to respond if ICE shows up. I hope i have the courage and quick-thinking this guy has. My initial impulse of feral cat level violence is likely counterproductive.

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

I bet they have it now from that unsecured cloud bucket DOGE uploaded all our info to

"It is the very value of this network, & Flock’s willingness to share and sell access to it, including to the Trump Administration, ICE, CBP, and Texas police enforcing anti-abortion laws, that makes this tech so dangerous to not only our immigrant community, but to the entire nation."

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

He lied about winning in 2020. He lied about the 2024 election being a landslide. He lied about voter fraud and election fraud. He pretended to have been vindicated in cases that merely ran out of time to imprison him. He ran as an open fascist who *still* wasn't honest with voters about his plans.

whoever keeps saying things cannot get worse pls knock that shit off

Trump spent every waking second from 2020 to 2024 shrieking about a "Stolen election" he lost decisively so when he and Musk actually stole the 2024 election, Dems would be too afraid of sounding as insane as he is to contest the results. No, you won't convince me otherwise.

Too bad that our legal and institutional safeguards only work to prevent good policies. It would be cool if they also stopped the evil stuff

the fuck is going on

Red states rely on the money from Blue states to function. This can all be over the second Democratic governors actually wield their power.

MS NOW MAX

FIFA should pull all of the 2026 World Cup matches scheduled to be played on US soil & reassign them to venues in Canada. That includes the World Cup final scheduled to be played at the Meadowlands. This is not a country suited to host an international event now & won’t be until 2029.

It makes me sad to think back on how happy and optimistic everyone was when Obama was elected...

Defend democracy with everything you got #oneMillionRising

This week the President of the United States walked around on the roof of The White House and yelled about nuclear weapons in a desperate bid to distract from allegations that he is a child sex trafficker.

I think that one of the problems of LLMs is that the real world was never meant to be exposed to SaaS. Real people are not conditioned to be sold awkward, half-functional software that sucks unless you spend hours tweaking it, at which point it sort of works and you're meant to love it

DHS continuing to make it clear that it will go to extreme lengths to make sure that Kilmar Abrego continues to suffer, rather than have DHS admit it fucked up in shipping him to a Salvadoran torture camp.
