All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini

Changing the name of your department from Defense to War, then arguing w/ everyone that our military in a bombing fight w/ another country IN THEIR COUNTRY isn’t a war is so perfectly MAGA. Tryhard braggadocios who, when the time comes, won’t stand behind what they do when they’re actually doing it.

South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign

South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign

I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.

It’s so fucking sick that we have to go through the charade that the country actively bombing another country, Israel and the US only, might not be responsible for any specific bombing. β€œYou never know!”

Markwayne called Rand Paul a β€œfreaking snake” last week and said he supported his neighbor beating the crap out of him. Let’s see who the chair of the Senate Homeland Security committee is…oh goody it’s Rand Paul.

Whole lotta people out there screenshotting this, Senator. We're going to hold you to it.

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

This is all I’ve wanted to see from a Democrat since Jan 2025. You can see the exact microsecond in Kristi Noem’s eyes when she realizes fascism inevitably eats its servants.

I do agree with this.

I get a House member going along with it, but a safe-seat senator?

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!

Trump is announcing his nominee.

That's it.

If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of thisβ€”even after knowing what they know now.

And that matters come November.

This is the dude who tried to snatch the "Black people are not apes" sign from Al Green, so things are about to get SUPER antiblack. Also, he is not very bright, so this appointment is a smuggler's dream.

The very existence of commercially available glasses with Internet-connected cameras sold by Meta, a company built entirely on hiding the costs of services in negative privacy externalities, is an indictment of U.S. tech law and policy. This is an unfixable product from a fundamentally bad company.

β€œJD Vance can’t be racist because he has an Indian wife and children.” See how dumb that sounds?

You’re telling me less than a week of this war could solve the NYC budget deficit? Funny how there’s always unlimited money for war, but never to solve the people’s struggles

man, graham platner is not actually young and it’s really insulting our collective intelligence to claim he’s working his way through the youthful confusions of learning how to take accountability for your actions

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

Congressman Faces Questions About Wife’s Social Media Stances on Israel

Dan Goldman's wife, who is also his campaign treasurer, reposted at least half a dozen racist tweets on Twitter which denigrated Palestinians and Jews who sympathize with them. In one post, EndWokeness said "Jews for Palestine" are like "Chickens for KFC".

Goldman says he doesn't share those views.

Wow, the Dem primary turnout among Hispanic voters in Texas is going to be giving the GOP sweats for the next 8 months.

Take Zapata County - turnout in the Dem primary there yesterday was 143% the total number of votes Harris won in the 2024 general election. That's wild.

For the first time, we now know how many Black-owned bookstores exist in the U.S. The National Association of Black Bookstores has released the β€œfirst comprehensive national report” on the state of America’s Black-owned bookstores.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States β€” until now

we need to bring back politicians and public servants who want to be in paperwork movies instead of blockbusters.

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seenβ€”and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

incredible scenes where this is apparently a thing that Khameni has been wanting for ages and others on the council were pushing back against because optics but now council's all dead and congratulations on toppling the regime by giving the previous leader exactly what he wanted- a family throne
