The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

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.

For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks.

They can’t figure out how to spend the extra $500 billion they gave themselves for the military, but cut our healthcare and food assistance because they said they couldn’t afford it.

Call on Congress to Oppose The Save Act!

Speaker Johnson just revealed plans to tack the SAVE Act—one of the most extreme anti-voter bills in recent history—on to funding for DHS. They’re going to try to pass this without needing to reach the 60-vote threshold in the Senate.

What the person fails to understand is that their LLM is not "hallucinating," it's using accurate data from Earth 2.

This whole post-truth era is about the wonderful fantasyland of Earth 2, where Trump won the popular vote in 2016 and every election since, taking over Earth 1. Lie back and enjoy.

The tech industry does not deserve the hands off no regulation approach they want - while they build a Skynet that they don’t understand and can’t control while using all our resources

The utter lunacy of Trump winding down the regulation of carbon emissions and pollutants and soon ending the Roadless rule to allow millions of acres of pristine forests to be logged is a recipe for disaster that will push Earth to the point of no return even faster in an unimaginable climate hell

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Apparently, Tesla moved from California to Texas so they can dump toxic waste water on their neighbors without fear of any consequences.
