It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
This is unambiguously genocidal rhetoric: framing people from different cultures living peacefully as an existential threat justifies and incentivises extermination. It is genuinely terrifying how normalised Great Replacement Theory is becoming in our political culture.
The pro-trans/anti-hate demonstrators were the targets of the violence.
Putting the weird comment about 6 year olds aside, what Trump ISN'T saying is the so=called SAVE Act is a tool of unbridled voter suppression he wants to use to prevent Democrats from winning elections.
Rather than propose a worked-out centrist platform, or even suggest opposition to the Trump administration, the event largely defined itself in opposition to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. buff.ly/KdJ8tRT

Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#3330):
I've always found it ironic that the left came up with postmodernism but the right actually lived it, perfected it.
We used financial records included in this trove of data to report on Blanche owning at least $159K in crypto assets when he shut down investigations into crypto companies.

Dissolve the agency in acid, and hold its leaders to account.
“We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,” said House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries in a comment that he is now facing criticism for after refusing to rule out supporting a potential request from Trump for tens of billions of dollars in additional military funding for the war on Iran.
Yet again @sarahkendzior.blsky.social lays it all for us. “The same families appear, again and again, in a transnational crime network that profits off war. …the Iran War can only remind one of Epstein and Maxwell, for many of the same people tied to them are also tied to this war.”
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…
All wars create unexpected second and third-order effects. One of the appalling things about the Trump administration is that they don’t seem to have thought through the expected effects either. open.substack.com/pub/danieldr...
Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.
Outside Minneapolis City Hall, two protesters blocked a van labeled with “Midwest Plumbing” decals advertising a disconnected phone number. The driver pointed a pistol at them. One of the armed men shot pepperballs into the crowd.
The men weren’t federal agents. They were bounty hunters.

Jacked action hero with goon in headlock, in raspy yet firm voice:
D.C. statehood isn’t just about two senators, it’s about having to put up with this crap.
The entire power elite of the USA owns this savagery forever, including the theoretical opposition party, unless you beat the drums of IMPEACHMENT for Trump immediately and don’t stop until he’s gone. He’s given you 700,000 reasons now and it’s one of the only tools you have. USE IT.
We are living under the One-Third Reich.
One time we rented scooters on a narrow north-south Caribbean island. We rode north all morning, ate lunch, and rode south all afternoon. Our color differentiation was *intense.*
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Six people legally living in the US and legally traveling for work were disappeared by the US government and the only reason we knew about it was because one woman was family friends with a county commissioner and her cell phone pinged to two detention centers.
The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.
Wooden? In my day the whole giant-ass slide was metal. God help you if you lost yr footing on the way up, take ALL the skin off yr miniature shins
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
Claude Coders telling me they only use it for the good stuff is crazy town. You existed how many years before this without it? Is it so important to you that you stand ten toes down on business for it after knowing this shit? Wild.
