If the United States is going to go around the world causing regime changes, we should practice here first.
"What is this?!?" Two cats atop a cat tree. Black-and-white cat on the left is sitting up, looking down at white-and-brown cat, with an annoyed expression, ears back and eyes wide. White-and-brown cat is blissfully unaware, laying down with eyes closed.
"I'm outta here!" Black-and-white cat jumping off cat tree, blurred in action mode. White-and-brown still laying on top of tree, looking at the other cat.

who could have seen AI become weaponized by a corrupt government, except for literally everyone, as well as decades of science fiction
Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.
Shining a π¦ on more shady deeds.
The regime is hellbent on looting, & destroying everything in their way.
They want "to fundamentally reshape how some of the most ecologically significant forests in the world are managed. And they donβt intend to look a single person in the eye while they do it."
About that.....
Pedo chasers can go fuck themselves.π
If a lot of us do a little bit, and a little of us do a lotta bit, together we can save an important piece of our planet.

Bend skier Hunter Hess made a βLβ sign with his hand, with L meaning βloser,β against his helmet after his first qualifying run on Friday. He told reporters afterward he loves his country, but stands by the statement that had drawn Trumpβs ire, who called Hess a loser.
@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

This one turned out pretty cool from today. See the people walking in the distance?
Republicans are pushing a massive voter suppression bill through this week. They've renamed it the "Save America Act," but it's the same dangerous scheme to make it harder for millions to vote.

BREAKING: on this Super Bowl Sunday, Epstein Survivors have just released this PSA:
βStand with us.Β Β Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi ITβS TIME FOR THE TRUTHβ
Please share everywhere!
Our investigation found 40+ cases in which federal immigration agents used chokeholds or other moves that can restrict someoneβs breathing: https://propub.li/4rq51BV
We showed video clips from our reporting to Marc Brown, a law enforcement expert. This is what he said.
Why is it that officials around the world are losing their positions because they were fucking kids, but in America it's apparently a prerequisite to leadership?

Fun game. My guess is 8.
Barely a few hours after President Donald Trump named him as the next nominee to chair the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh was revealed to be in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files.
Every single Democrat should make it clear that that's all they're going to talk about at his confirmation hearing.
Fun fact: the star of the new "Melania" infomercial also featured in the Epstein Files franchise.
Glassβs gesture βincorporated Lincolnβs prescient warning about democratic collapse, a warning that lands with unsettling accuracy on the dangers of Trumpian rule.β
