"The makers of AI aren’t damned by their failures, they’re damned by their goals. Their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again. They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude. Their dream is to invent new forms of life to enslave."

Musks decisions have killed north of a million people in Just the last 10 months alone. Musk is a mass murderer on par with any of this historic mass murderers.

Perform empathy. Please. Perform the fuck out of it. It's so good to act with kindness. I hope it penetrates to a place where you feel it, too, but if you must act some way, act the right way. I'm not here to judge your authenticity, I just want you to be kind, thoughtful, and mortified by meanness.

“There’s never been a moment when someone’s like ‘oh, I didn’t want to let you know I really want universal child care.’ … When you say ‘I’m a moderate,’ or ‘I’m a centrist’ I immediately know you’re right-wing, and I also think you’re a coward.”

i wish it were more satisfying to watch Ben Shapiro get eaten alive by the monsters he made his bed with, but unfortunately we have to live with the fuckers too.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

Reminder that every individual senator has immense powers to hold presidents accountable. They just choose not to use it.

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Dead Kennedys Nazi Punk Fuck Off

"Help me, Zack de la Rocha, you're my only hope.”

Back last year, I wrote a piece about how Tim Walz and his family’s embrace of Gus offered a template for how parents of neurodivergent kids could embrace their loved ones. Thinking about that now as Trump’s supporters are hurling the r-word at the Walz family. www.ms.now/opinion/msnb...

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim. Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

So many comedians prepared us for these lunatics. I keep thinking of Martin Short’s Nathan Thurm when I see defensive responses to the very real crises we see every day now.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I've spent the last decade writing about autism and saying politicians should stop talking about vaccines. When my book came out, it felt like politics was moving there. But I feel like my life's work has been completely erased by RFK Jr., Trump and Bill Cassidy. I feel completely disoriented.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

This will be the global legacy of Trump and Musk - causing avoidable death and suffering out of pure malice. Musk claims he has a plan to colonize Mars and save humanity, but all we see is him supporting Nazis, destroying democracy and killing innocents, while getting richer than anyone in history.

I would assume Musk sees himself as some kind of omnipotent Earth King. Please … let him go, Tesla Nerds. I promise he doesn’t love you.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Separation of Church & State protects everyone's right to however they want to practice (or not) their faith.

Antifa is a MacGuffin.

I love this so much

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

Or else

All the videos we see of ICE/police/military assaulting people on camera are happening because they know they will face no consequences for their actions. They're breaking the law because they believe the law no longer applies to them. What kept them in check before was fear. Now they have none.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Nearly 10% of humanity (~800M people in 2025) struggles to live on less than $3 a day. It’s important for Americans to appreciate that reality — and the growing gap between the extremely poor & the extremely privileged — because, as USAID demonstrated, our nation has the power to change it. 🧵 1/8

Really interesting conversation. Worth a watch

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like: -masked secret police kidnapping people off the street -creating concentration camps -attempting to eradicate trans people -banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books -murdering fishermen in open waters

If my writing about autism does anything, whether it be in my books, my columns or my reported stories, I hope it advances the idea that autistic people are whole human beings as they are with legitimate needs and inner lives that deserve to be told the same as other stories.

New Ep alert 🚨 RFK Jr.’s big report on autism is scheduled to come out this month, and we’re hearing that it might point the finger at Tylenol as a possible cause. The science on this is full of plot twists and nerd fights - we dive in. open.spotify.com/episode/0afn...

Historians will call the time period we're currently living in "The Great Hypocrisy"

Prominent far-right influencers have been attempting to rehabilitate Hitler's reputation. That's not an exaggeration; it's easily documented. I wrote about why they are doing this, what they hope to gain, and what it means for America.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?

One of the more important actions we can take in the year ahead is to help other people keep from losing their minds in an environment of weaponized unreality and falling into despair as a result. Here’s Soul II Soul with “Keep on Movin’” from their 1989 album by the same name. Enjoy 😊

“Don’t politicise school shootings” as if it isn’t policy choice to allow gun lobbyists to influence looser gun laws in government.

"The Brownshirts wore brown shirts. And pants, coats, hats, insignia, etc. They had an actual uniform that they wore like brand ambassadors for authoritarian paramilitary violence. ICE? Not so much. No official uniform, no clear identification."

In a world where are so many good people, by what perverse law is power held by the most despicable?
