When we get power, we need to break up a bunch of companies. The companies we need to break up know we need to do this, so they're spending a fuck ton of money to keep power out of our hands.

Don't give up July 4th to the fascists. The America you dream of lives on in you, and that is still worth celebrating. I'll be enjoying my July 4th wrapped in a Pride flag and enjoying the angry grimaces of the failsons and faildaughters who voted against their own futures to destroy mine!

This is funny, but this is also very deeply American right now. The age is feeling very gilded.

Did everyone forget that America invaded Venezuela? There's a lot that's happened and happening, so I can understand, but that did happen. Part of the overall shit show is that America invaded Venezuela. Fucking crazy.

If the pattern holds, we'll see some incredible trust busting in the next 15 years. I hope it does, because power is WAY too centralized and has been for decades now. If the shit show we're all watching isn't evidence enough that one moron can't solve the world's problems, I don't know what will be.

Make sure and let your representatives and representative hopefuls know that datacenters and "AI" snake oil are a no go. If some industry FUCK comes knocking with "AI" money to buy influence, your representative needs to know that you expect them to say "Fuck OFF".

So all the "I left the left" people were really just finding a place that's friendlier to the sort of criminality that rich people tend to get up to. What does it profit one to gain world but lose one's soul? That question is far more real than most know.

My mood rises as the "AI" hype dies.

You know those videos where someone puts a mirror in the forest and animals think the reflection is another animal? "AI" is a mirror too, just a reflection of humanity because it's "trained" on our creative and informational output. A lot of smart people think that reflection is alive.

The LLM "AI" craze is the most expensive thing humanity has ever done, and it's completely empty. Imagine having spent all that money on people, feeding people, housing people, healthcare, education. Think about how much better the world would be. What a monstrous waste of resources.

Dear conservatives, The more you come after us queer folk, the more salient PRIDE month becomes. You can try to rebrand, but no one does branding like queer folk, so good fucking luck. YOUR STATE, THIS COUNTRY, AND THE WORLD WILL ALWAYS BE QUEER. Not sorry 😘

Give me death over feeling like I have to lie about my boss to keep my job. If my boss is a fuckup, I'm gonna be straight about my boss being a fuckup. If my boss is sleeping on the job because he's old and sunsetting into senility, I'm not going to pretend he's young and full of energy.

Scott Pelley, thanks for standing up to the clowns that have taken over CBS. You have something they'll never have: integrity. And for the record, I don't trust anyone who DOESN'T have contempt for bari weiss and the rest of CBS "leadership".

The money people are starting to see a glimpse of "AI" as the snake oil it is. They're waking up from the delusions sold to them by breathless hype merchants, not because of the damage "AI" has done to people's lives or the environment, but because they have nothing to show for the money they spent.

There are a lot of people who want to live their lives never thinking about or taking responsibility for the harm that they do. The republican party now serves this group. They don't see the countless kindnesses that others contributed to make such a seemingly easy life possible.

Call it whatever the fuck you want and come get me, but I'm not going to be ok with datacenters or the snake oil that is "AI". It's all poison and it's all bullshit. They're scared of what we'll do when the bubble is finally allowed to pop. Scared men with power, just what we need in 2026 smh.

It is fucking wild how much money the fossil fuel industry is spending on anti-trans organizing. It worked to get idiots to vote republican, so it should work more broadly, right? Just to drive to the fucking store, I have to put money in the coffers of the people stoking the flames of ALL our ruin.

So google is killing off search and replacing it with "AI". This is disastrously stupid. Listen here google decision maker, no one wants your slop, let the bubble pop.

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

I don't want a "billionaire tax", I want the top marginal tax rate to be 90%+, and I want the ill-gotten gains sitting in billionaires' accounts to be confiscated and returned to the people who actually worked for that wealth. Look how they spend our money on ai and war. No more and never again.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Welp. It was a good run while it lasted. Remember- FUCK AI

do you think the fascist oligarchs are less concerned about the survival of Americans now that they have ai? I mean, it will never be able to do what they claim or hope, and the environmental toll alone will kill everyone anyway, but that hasn't stopped anyone from digging for old sunlight either.

Our government and our system for populating it with alleged representatives has failed us. But it's even worse than most know or are willing to acknowledge. The story I was taught about who we are as Americans was always bullshit, at least in my lifetime. Not yet sure what to do about it though.

💯

Remember when you told us we were being hysterical the night of the election in 2016? Remember when you told us SCOTUS was gonna be fine? That they wouldnt strip away abortion rights? Remember when we told you they were coming after marginalized communities?

There's no replacement for REAL intelligence and no shortcut to it. You have to do the work.

I Fully Endorse this Idea….

I think influencer culture has replaced community religious participation. Some streamers are basically church leaders. All the trappings are there, from rituals to shared beliefs that often cross into the absurd. Bad behavior is recontextualized and there's even excommunication.

We need our own project with a leader who says "We see you,"the south", trying to"rise again". We're gonna put you back down, and we can do it peacefully or violently. Your choice." But do we have the balls and the conviction of our ancestors? If we don't, we better get em.

trump isn't a king, he's a dementia ridden diaper weight.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Not buying it. Release the Epstein files.

That whole palantir manifesto just straight-up immediately left the news cycle. I'm not hearing anywhere near enough about the epstein files. It's nice that the leaders of the country are too stupid to pull off the thing, but I'd like to see some prison time for the maga pedophiles, thanks.

no one calls you know who the real life brian griffin because he "talks condescendingly about politics". It's because he comes at every subject confidently from a position of great privilege and greater ignorance with absolutely no skin in the game.

I recall Dave Chappelle talking about when he realized The Chappelle Show was contributing to racist attitudes. Now he's surprised his stand-up contributed to anti-trans bigotry. Which minority is next on the chopping block? Or I don't know, hell, maybe apologize and learn?

I'm in my 40's and trans. I've never acted, but I'm a quick study, and I will endure any training/fitness regimen (I solemnly vow!). Make me the next James Bond, and let's tell the story of how James Bond finally decided to tell the world who she really is.

Here's the right answer: the Epstein files weren't released under Biden because not one trump maga sycophant would have believed anything in them. It had to happen under trump so they could see that trump is guilty, and even now the obstruction hasn't convinced them.

If Hungary can free itself from the rule of a corrupt Russian agent, the USA can too.

History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme. The newest stanzas are written in crayon though.

Can every Democratic politician with even a hint of sex crime skeletons in their closets please just dip? Go. Get the fuck out. Be honest, get out. We can't do this shit anymore, the stakes for the whole fucking PLANET are TOO HIGH.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

So, let me see if I have this right… we’ve threatened #genocide on social media, ordered the military to commit #warcrimes (which they refused), tried to reinstate the draft without Congress, and threatened the Pope, all in one week? Those #Epsteinfiles must be even more damning than we think.

Over the last 24 hours I've learned that for some people, words matter, and for other people, intent matters. I don't yet know how to tell the difference, but if I figure that out, I'll make sure to share.

REMOVE HIM IMMEDIATELY.

The world needs to treat the “whole civilization” post as a watershed moment. There was a country called the United States before that post, and there is a different country of the same name after that post. Taking this any less seriously than that invites suffering and ultimately annihilation.

I thought Sunday's "presidential" post was bad, but he really said hold my beer for today's post. This is batshit INSANE. Seriously, AT WHAT POINT is this enough?????

I want to see every Democrat in Congress call for impeachment AND invoking the 25th TODAY. The president is signaling war crimes. The time for lapel pin activism was over 30 fucking years ago. It is time to get LOUD.

This is patently bullshit. The job of the news is to inform people about the state of the world, not to lie. We are so lost in this country, and CBS is giving us bad directions that'll send us off a cliff. How long do you idiots expect your lies to work? www.cbsnews.com/news/upper-m...
