Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call. I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

Mark Kelly is a genuine American hero, as is his wife, and it should be completely clear to anyone who actually gives a shit about this country that Trump's attacks on him are fucking crazy. Anyone picking sides against him is wrong. Period.

James Carville, the crypt keeper, just wrote this in the NYT. Just read it. Maybe, just maybe, the useless, harmful, archais corporate centrist Democratic establishment will finally listen to the man they worship and embrace this change and run on this message. Doubtful due to their donors but...

The US government under Trump is an epic money laundering scheme. They’re robbing the taxpayers blind for crap nobody asked for!

Get in the robot, Charlie Brown.

I've seen all sorts of instructions for how to turn off copilot on windows 11, but as an fyi, you can go into "add and remove programs" and just uninstall it. surprisingly, they let you do that. Does that remove every stupid ai thing? No idea, but in theory copilot is gone

Most efficient thing they’ve done tbh

You Are Witnessing A Great Becoming, Charlie Brown

Abolish ICE is the absolute minimum acceptable policy.

american oligarchs uniformly abandoned a lifetime of democratic support because it was easier for them to believe that “based meme” accounts run by czechoslovakian teens were proof of a mass populist movement in service to elon musk than face the hard truth that most people hate their fucking guts

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

asking the world and everyone in it to let me sleep for thirty consecutive hours

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Reskeeting with alt text Yeah this has become the utter pain of what we once had. Used to be you'd run to Google for a trusted and quick search and now I try to avoid it when I can Legit ruined their own product to the point of being unrecognizable

1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths 2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

Every day it's clearer that 2024 was Democrats' to lose. No distance on Biden economy, no distance on Biden's Gaza role, hobbled by Biden staying in as long as he did, finding a miracle in Walz and "weird" approach and then muzzling him, and painting Trump as a dangerous outlaw in a dangerous world.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

Ultimately, you can't demand some people's exclusion and not expect to show your "credentials" for inclusion; demand femininity be defined and policed, but only for others. That's the thing with "safe". There's no way of locking others out that doesn't also lock you in. Your fort is also your cell.

As somebody situated in that exact cultural space at that time, this is *mind blowingly accurate.* The landscape is SO different, it feels like remembering a parallel universe.

It rocks that the online voice of the US government is "computer-damaged reactionary virgin."

We have to turn impostor syndrome into a pill and give it to every prominent person in this country. They should constantly be worrying that they're stupid

Musk's ego was mortally wounded by Joyce Carol Oates and he's been on a narcissistic supply bender since

A thread of some cartoons rejected by The New Yorker:

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

this answer is hard to swallow

YOU’RE ALL ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS ALREADY ANSWERED BY THE STATEMENT

This is a man whose wife was SHOT IN THE HEAD having to act even-keeled when the President of the United States tries to incite violence against him. Trump has to go, right now.

I just did this. I loathe "opt-out" AI bullshit that they sneak into things. Should be illegal.

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

Incredible ghoulish behavior here from Obama’s old speechwriter. She straight up says that she has a hard time convincing people Israel has a right to kill Palestinians because people have seen too many videos of Israeli war crimes

All three of the people in this frame—at a presser whose purpose is to lie to America about the largest child sex trafficking ring in American history—are *personal lawyers* of the president pretending to be public servants. All three. If you cannot see how terrified Trump is, well, *there it is*.

I cosign every single word of this anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

your movement has to be like 8 levels removed from reality to think that some of the starving kids in gaza also having serious medical conditions makes Israel look better. it's completely insane. they just think because it's an additional fact it's somehow exonerating.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

I'm sorry, but when, not if, we finally get the government back, we need to regulate the shit out of this entire industry

[getting drinks with captain hook] Me: so what’s up are you still in a blood feud with that boy Hook: he’s not — we’ve been over this, he doesn’t age. I think he’s older than me Me: I’m just fucking with you how’s Smee

I understand he's a bully, that many of his followers are doxxers, that you're on Air Force One. But in 2016 I wanted Clinton to turn around at the debate and say "Stop lurking behind me, you fucking creep" and the first journo to say "What the fuck did you call me?" will be a hero forever

This rules, this is the way to name a kid. Stop all the bullshit with baby name gurus and just pick the two movies you went to last, pick two characters in those movies. Boom you’ve got a kid named Zora Galactus, you were never gonna pick a name that good Hollywood did it for you.

ADAM: oh look the McRib is back EVE: stop calling me that

I can no longer follow the plot of this show. I suspect the writers and actors can’t either. I don’t think they have a show runner.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

Break up big tech monopolies. The system has become too vulnerable. Build local alternatives, resiliency.
