As much as will stancil is joking about this, we should actually have more legitimate discussions on the extent to which social minds resemble the concept of schochastic parrots especially in the extent to which information is passed over passively without meaning then interpreted

They’re not public servants, they’re not political leaders, they’re not even aristocrats - they’re thieves. They thought the rules had all been abolished so they grabbed everything in sight.

In a year Trump has converted cabinet positions into little dukedoms, where you don’t do any real work but are rewarded with luxury jets and exotic vacations and VIP accommodations at major events, partying with the stars.

LEFT: Trump’s DHS just lied again.
RIGHT: Wash post with video proof.

Another man dead. father of 2, nearly blind, dropped off in the cold outside a closed coffee shop. They lied that it was warm & open.

Without accountability it will happen again.

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an β€˜unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as β€œunaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

I enjoy having an American Pope.

Particularly right now.

And if you watch the clip, the people are smiling and nodding. Like he just amazed them.

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

β€œThey threw my dad out like an animal, and now I have no dad.”

The U.S. Has Killed More than 140 People in Boat Strikes. We’re Tracking Them All. The Intercept is keeping count of all publicly declared U.S. attacks on boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean and the number of civilians killed.

The U.S. did another strike on February 20.

yeah, uh, it has blatantly and explicitly always been about denying the legitimacy and existence of trans people. it’s never been about just children, or just the right magic composition of perfect RCTs. and I need the press to stop being rubes at best and collaborators at worst.

Well this is troubling. I don't know NH and don't know if it's likely to pass the NH Senate.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

Who says the SCOTUS is reluctant to weigh in on war powers questions? From the IEEPA decision today: "The United States ... is not at war with every nation in the world." So there.

As president you shouldn't have to brag that you have good reading comprehension. It sounds like you're in first grade.

I appreciate all you're doing but those ellipses are cutting out a lot of other content, making your quote sound like he means he can destroy this country. He may indeed think so but in this particular clip he seems to be saying that he is allowed to embargo other countries.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary’s son has been buying people’s legal claims to tariff refunds, paying them a little up front to essentially soften the blow of the tariffs, and now he gets to cash in and collect all those tariff refunds. He’s connected to the administration!

Trump: "I want to let you know that United States is going to make a contribution of $10 billion to the Board of Peace." (Congress has not appropriated this money!)

This is what kills me about the AI zealots: okay, you got to 95% accuracy. Those are impressive numbers for a college exam.

Those are "things go boom" numbers in chemical manufacturing.
