I want to do my part in raising awareness. Texas's Big Bend is set to receive new border security infrastructure, including >100 mi of border wall cutting through Big Bend National Park. Kristi Noem just waived 28 environmental protection laws and regulations to expedite this construction. 🧵 1/4

Love it when our nation’s defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world

It’s like watching the Cowboys play the Patriots- can’t they both lose?

❣️”No LLM, anywhere, in its current form, should be considered for use in a fully lethal autonomous weapon system. ❣️”Mass surveillance of US citizens? No thanks. Seems like a reasonable second redline.”

Jack Shanahan, retired US Air Force General and first Director of the Department of Defense Joint Artificial Intelligence Center:

We approve this message.

Liver, chitterlins’, gizzards. MOGA. Make Offal Great Again.

The whole saga is a perfect encapsulation of how the Trump admin abuses its power. It demanded a private company do highly unethical things for it (become a combo killbot/Skynet). The company said no, and so in response the admin declared it a “supply chain risk” to try to nuke the business.

Congratulations to Dr. Helen Fricker of UC San Diego on being selected to lead a satellite mission for NASA! This groundbreaking research will help us better understand and protect our changing planet. California’s scientists continue to push American innovation forward.

Sand Branch, Texas has no running water or sewage infrastructure. Our campaign volunteers delivered more than 100 cases of water. Taking back Texas for working people means addressing systemic injustices like this in our state. Visit: waterforsandbranch.org

They just proposed new rules that would make it even MORE EXPENSIVE for those on ACA health care plans. Trump is actively working to make your health care more expensive.

Kinda figured. She doesn’t get enough credit or press for her fight in a deep red state.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

NUMBER ONE,SHE'S A WOMAN. NUMBER TWO,SHE'S A CLINTON..

"Anthropic limited Claude so it could not be used to facilitate the mass surveillance of Americans, nor could it be used in fully autonomous weaponry—situations where computers, rather than humans, make the final decision about whom to kill." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

@nerd4cities.bsky.social has an excellent video up on homelessness its causes, and possible solutions. Highly recommended.

Transgender folks in Kansas just had their IDs invalided. The mainstream media isn’t giving this story enough attention. Please repost to help amplify! This is unacceptable. www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...

How are trans pple a driving risk? (They are not.) Ask them who’s next? Choose any group & call them “at risk” for accidents. People with diabetes? People with mental health diagnoses? People who drive a red car? What’s to stop them?

Who’s next? People with diabetes?

SOLIDARITY WITH TRANS KANSANS

Trump’s goons detained a blind guy who was here legally, then set him loose at a fast food stop without telling anyone where he was, and now he’s dead.

This was Trump’s last state of the union speech. A Democratic speaker can simply not invite him to do another one, and that’s just table stakes at this point. That is not the main reason to retake the House, but it sure is a nice addition.

Walked out of the State of the Union because I couldn’t sit through hours of Trump’s lies. Americans know the truth: he’s spiking prices and wrecking our economy. We’re a better country than this.

Trump: "I kept my promise to 'drill, baby, drill." The result? Electricity prices have increased nationwide by 13% last year and are projected to continue rising at 2x the rate of inflation. But, hey, at least our air and water are more polluted than ever and climate change is running amok! #SOTU

No matter what Trump says tonight, he can't hide the stories of these children who are being traumatized.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

Weird how ppl have all this smoke for immigrants when it comes to "housing prices" but we're not banning AirBnB

We have so far to go still: "The men’s team flew by charter to Miami earlier Monday. The women took a commercial flight and were scheduled to land in Atlanta." One of these things is not like the other.

The U.S. women's hockey gold medal-winning team has politely declined an invitation from President Donald Trump to attend his State of the Union address on Tuesday.

On the one hand, the Trump administration is telling Europeans to take care of their own defense. On the other hand, they are supporting leaders and parties who are pro-Russian, opposed to European unity and don't want Europe to defend Ukraine or anything else. Which is the policy?

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

this is what I hear whenever I hear AI proponents hyped about their products

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

I'd like to write a lil thread on the videos of team USA hockey with Kash and Trump. I don't draft my skeets like a psycho so strap in for a maybe long thread?

Last week: Andrew Today: Mandelson Police lead Lord Mandelson out of London home

Did this admin come up with the new 🍎 IOS update? The worst.

A functioning political media would look at these polls and arrive at the entirely reasonable conclusion that MAGA is an extremist movement drastically out of step with the rest of the country. Instead we get endless articles lecturing us about how these right wing freaks should taken seriously.

Getting pissed at mainstream media's blase attitude on fascism. They're gushing over SCOTUS' decision on tariffs, proclaiming the Constitution is saved! Never heard boo when the court decided it's OK to profile, arrest and imprison with no charges or due process. May they àll choke on their tariffs.

The guy who told Americans that injecting bleach into our bodies may cure Covid is now offering to help Greenlanders with their medical care.

US WOMEN TEACH MEN HOW TO SCORE IN OVERTIME GOLD #OLYMPICS

Just to add to this, the biggest story in the world right now is straight men going to an island run by a pedophile sex trafficker who secured young girls for the ultra rich. Tech CEOs were regular attendees. And the conclusion you come to is … there’s a sinister gay mafia?! Come the fuck on.

Given all our current storms, seems worth pausing to note that for now, compliance with the Supreme Court holds: "In light of recent events, the additional ad valorem duties imposed pursuant to IEEPA...shall no longer be in effect and, as soon as practicable, shall no longer be collected."

8 visits to Kremlin. 0 visits to Kyiv.

Put her in a choke hold and the other kids jumped in to beat his ass. The kids are alright.

I want all Americans to digest the fact that our President is furious with the highest court of the nation. What insolence for this petty creep to claim superiority over those selected to protect our Constitution, the same one he swore to protect.
