No, but you can burn through millions in taxpayer money.

Is this the first AI war? Artificial intelligence isn't just helping you figure out what to make for dinner. It's deciding who lives and who dies.

Here’s “how the most powerful technologies of the twenty-first century are being folded into the machinery of violence.”

Trump is very good at bankruptcy. He has lots of experience.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

Basically all of the bad economic news this term is because the president deliberately decided to do something moronic. He is much more personally responsible for this than most presidents are for the downturns in their administration.

I can't say I delight in the implosion of the GOP. They have seen to it that there is little to take delight in at the moment. They voted to enable an evil 3 times, and now they complain about a male loneliness epidemic. A culture of accountability deflection is not appealing.

They’ve already seeded the next few generations.

Haitian man dies in US immigration custody with untreated toothache, brother says A Haitian man confined at an Arizona immigration detention center for months after the denial of his asylum application has died in the hospital

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody.

He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.

Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?

Jon Tester, Sherrod Brown, & Bob Casey all lost in 2024, but nobody ever says white working class male types are unelectable.

Right now the Trump message on Iran is dominating. The Democrats are awol and when they speak up it is very weak. The only reason the war is a no sell is the public, not the Dems.

Long-COVID Sufferer Awarded Nearly $1M After Employer Refused to Let Her Work From Home | Law.com A jury in Nassau County awarded $954,000 to a longtime employee of Stony Brook University Hospital Blood Bank.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.

May this set a precedent.

Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.

It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

Talarico can win it. Crockett shouldn’t have gotten into a competition with him. Support whoever wins, but also recognize Talarico’s ability to make greater inroads with important sectors of the electorate- for example, religious folks including Latinos.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Temco drivers unionize despite stiff opposition — a first for a Home Depot subsidiary “We did have management telling us that we were going to lose our jobs and would shut down.”

For the first time ever, workers at a Home Depot company have unionized. Drivers who deliver building materials for Home Depot’s Temco subsidiary have voted to join the Teamsters.

They did so despite a vicious anti-union campaign from Home Depot and Temco.

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

Wow. Universal employees staged a walkout to highlight that ICE has devastated tourism, imperiling their jobs. They aren’t wrong.

ICE is bad for the US, full stop.

I think in retrospect spending a 150 billion to hire every wife beater in the country, arm them heavily, and deputize them into an extrajudicial militia was probably a bad idea

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

Reminder:
Watergate didn’t collapse because the people in power decided to tell the truth. It collapsed because reporters kept digging and the public refused to look away.
Iran-Contra didn’t unravel on its own either. It unraveled under exposure and pressure.

Can we stop saying that “young women” or “minors” accused Trump of rape?

It’s three children.

Kids.

Girls.

Three children accused Trump of rape and the DoJ is hiding the FBI interviews.

The public has a right to know.

Colbert made a point about something that probably bothered a lot of people, me included. In his SOTU, Trump said “voting is a privilege.” A privilege is something to be earned, and some people can be denied that privilege. No. Voting is a right!

To summarize what seems to be the story of BAFTA: They knew John Davidson has Tourettes and hurls out slurs, sat him near the back of the room and chose to seat him near a hot mic. According to him he was told any slurs would be edited out and that he was unaware that his ticks could be heard /1

I’m about as far left as you can get… but we do have problems with MAiD in Canada.

How do I know? It was “offered” to me in lieu of care.

I’m disabled, I was alone, my conditions expensive.

Yes I was allowed to say “No”, but no alternative care was offered.

That’s coercion.

“How Cute! In Virginia “Jenna” Roberts Giuffre’s own words: Epstein declared young girls fair game for sex as soon as they began menstruating.

“How Cute! She still wears little girl’s panties,” Jeffrey Epstein laughed to Ghislaine Maxwell, as they stripped Jenna.
