One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

Oh, the humanity.

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

Many comments here are vile defenses of a man who admitted abusing a 12-year-old for four years. Since they HAVE to defend their "godly baby Christian" champion Trump, against HIS well-documented bad behavior, they have no choice but to also publicly excuse similar behavior in their pastors.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

The point is not law and order. The point is fear and intimidation of anyone who would dare to stand up for law and order. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Aside from the fact that they'll have to change or break the law to do this (which apparently is no problem for this administration), it's idolatry. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

LOL.

I'm unemployed. As of 5PM today, I officially concluded my 35-year career as a civil servant with the Department of Defense. I still have years of work ahead, but I couldn't continue serving under this administration. I morally couldn't be a part of the "Department of War." 🧵/1

Conservatives only decry gun violence when the shooter isn't one of them; in their mind, the problem is liberals or queer people, and anything that disrupts this story is swept under the rug. But liberals understand that the problem is the guns, no matter who is using them.

The REAL goal is "Make America White Again." As funny as this Keystone Cops video is, there's no way on earth that they had a warrant for this random guy who happened to pedal by. They're harassing brown and yellow people, hoping to snag illegals by trampling on everyone's 4A Constitutional rights.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Charlie Kirk perfected the art of the Gish Gallop, & monetized it in his tour & content. The Gish Gallop inherently avoids confronting any actual arguments of an opponent, by "flooding the zone" w/ assertions that cannot possibly all be countered in the time available, confusing & unsettling them. 🧵

Question: "If a democrat was assassinated could you imagine what would be going on right now?" Answer: "Yes. I can. Because it happened literally 3 months ago." www.threads.com/@michaelandw...

Today would be a really good day to look up “Reichstag moment.”

I'm waiting for the retractions of all the claims about the Charlie Kirk killer's gender identity and hard-left politics, and the calls for violent retribution. I think I'll be waiting forever.

⚠️ From a DoJ study: "Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives."

Rewriting history is one thing. Folks are trying to rewrite the present now.

I stepped on a nail yesterday, and my afternoon therefore included a tetanus booster. (That's a vaccination, in case it wasn't obvious.) It'll be really interesting to watch the tetanus rates in this country in the near future as more people avoid vaccinations. It's a pretty ugly disease.

Just a reminder that Charlie Kirk wasn't standing down from talking about the Epstein files. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.

Protecting families like this is why the Framers thought we needed the 2nd Amendment. His death is exactly why we need limits on the exercise of the 2nd Amendment.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Charlie Kirk’s family.

WWJD? Maybe the best way to be like Jesus is to stop dreaming about being with Him in heaven someday, and start focusing on incarnating God's presence here on earth today. Don't be so heavenly-minded that you're no earthly good.

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage. So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

Sure. and We really have moved way past "they can't do that". The critical questions now are "Who will stop them?" and "How will they be stopped?"

Do you have any relatives who are legal immigrants? PLEASE, for the love of all that's good and holy, read this article and make them aware of it. Even if they are here completely legally, that could change in an instant because of something totally minor in their distant past.

A President of the United States threatening an American city with the American military. He has also threatened several other American cities this week, as well as the sovereign nation of Venezuela. Is this the America we want?

"Sweeteners can harm cognitive health equivalent to 1.6 years of ageing, study finds" Or does it? Let's take a look at this "study"... www.theguardian.com/food/2025/se...

Today our government is openly bragging about committing an international war crime. There was no trial with evidence presented. No convictions. No proof that drugs were involved. No demonstration that all people involved were criminals. And drug smuggling is not a capital offense in any case.

To put this in perspective: 0.95% of the US population considers itself transgender, whereas 0.095% of the mass shootings since 2018 have been by transgender individuals. Thus, cisgender people commit 10 times more mass shootings per capita. Clearly the problem is NOT the transgender people.

Timeline cleanse.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

"Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it." When someone is trying to rewrite history, it should be obvious that they're intending to repeat it. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

"Papers, please" in Washington DC. Is this the America you wanted? I think it would be safe to bet that no White people are being stopped here.

I remember back in the day when the National Rifle Association insisted that civilians needed firearms to defend ourselves against the government abusing the military against the citizenry. Well, here we are; that's exactly what's happening... and the NRA is strangely silent.

My former days as a Republican were filled with dire warnings about what would happen if Democrats won elections. Now THEY are doing exactly those horrible things... and my Republican friends have exactly zero clue about it, because Fox and Newsmax and Epoch are reporting exactly none of it.

This is a really good article about the propaganda regarding homelessness. If you're wondering about the truth of the talking points about homeless people coming out of Washington, please read it for some first-hand experience and some real data. baptistnews.com/article/bull...

And they’ll know you are Christians by your… bumper stickers? They missed the one that says “There’s no hate like Christian love.”

“First they came for the immigrants and I did not speak out - 
     Because I was not an immigrant. Then they came for the homeless, and I did not speak out - 
     Because I was not homeless.” Who’s next? Will you speak out? www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6xAQWEb/

This is what Trump’s goons were doing in Washington yesterday. There is someone in that tent that they’re dragging to a garbage truck. Those people’s entire lives are in those tents - THEY ARE THEIR HOMES - and they’re treating them like they’re nothing. THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS FOR FUCK SAKES.😭💔

If Trump wanted to end homelessness in DC, he could have easily afforded to put every single one of them in decent housing. This wasn’t about getting them off the street. 🧵/1

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

Read this detailed history by a German author on the treatment of homeless people by the Third Reich starting in the late 1920s due to massive unemployment after WWI. It should sound eerily familiar. We are goosestepping down the exact same pathway today. kobra.uni-kassel.de/server/api/c...

Instead of doing something about housing the unhoused, he's arresting them and instead adding a $200,000,000 ballroom to the White House and covering everything in gold leaf.

"Let me be crystal clear: crime in DC is ending and ending today."
