Screenshot of a tweet from Mike Berg, Sen Sheehy's staffer saying "Our excellent Capitol Police dropped off a patch for Senator Sheehy after he helped them remove this unhinged protestor from the hearing." with a photo of the patch.

If you're wondering about US Capitol Police's opinion on Senator Tim Sheehy after he attacked a protesting veteran that they were in the process of also attacking... they gave him a patch.

This is what the Capitol Police think of protesters. Remember j6th with that in mind.

Amazon's $8 billion Anthropic investment balloons to $61 billion The cloud giant holds convertible notes in Anthropic. As the AI startup raises more money, this debt converts to equity.

If the Washington Post story above sounds like PR for Anthropic, that's because it is! Amazon has invested billions of dollars in Anthropic. Jeff Bezos, of course, owns both the Washington Post and Amazon.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

ideas from the mind of someone who understands the concept of "friends" as "networking appliances"

the trick is figuring out how to get a decent challenger past the hard defensive line the party draws around asshole incumbents like this. i don't have it in me to tell the Pelosi-Cuellar-Cisneros story again. on the bright side they seem to be having worse luck shutting progressives out this year.

didn't even have to look to know Cuellar is on that list, and as always i want to punch Pelosi afresh

I would take a minority of fighters over a majority of losers any day.

I am totally fine with them exiting the party if they would like.

In fact I think the Democrats should be far more open to kicking people out who suck.

thinking about mussolini at the end and thinking we could be so much more creative this time

In case you're wondering, the Senator reposted the video along with this comment

NORML Defends Cannabis Consumers' Constitutional Rights Will you stand with us?

"Should one’s status as a cannabis consumer prohibit them from ever legally owning a firearm?

That was the question before the US Supreme Court yesterday in United States v. Hemani.

Lawyers for the federal government say ‘yes.’ NORML says ‘no.’"

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

just to get out ahead of any "what do you mean we" commentary. we produce guys like this in greater numbers than any civilization in history. there is currently no plan whatsoever to stop making guys. we should have a plan. we need to hobble these guys with crippling taxes and restrict their rights

the entire west has a sick "how dare other countries thrive without our explicit permission (and without paying us regular and generous tribute)" core mentality. the disease usually only afflicts their victims, but the US is working hard to become the first casualty of its own hubris.

In the short- to midterm, we must elect US reps who refuse to enable US imperialism. In NYC there are 5 great primary campaigns:

South Carolina Hospitals Aren’t Required to Disclose Measles-Related Admissions. That Leaves Doctors in the Dark. Physicians across South Carolina, home to the largest measles outbreak in decades, are advising patients without the benefit of real-time data on hospitalizations due to measles-related pneumonia, bra...

ProPublica contacted state health agencies across the South and found most do not require hospitals to report measles-related admissions.

Alabama is among the few that do. Virginia does too, but it doesn’t release that data to the public.

when it comes to the ME or foreign policy in general, it doesn't really matter who's in the oval either, we unambiguously suck satan's butthole

All the AI situation is showing me that given the opportunity, we are capable of rapidly changing our society to meet new needs.

The problem is our society is so depraved that the needs being met are exclusively those of the worst people ever.

this chart is deranged

increasingly convinced by the discourse on here that right wing dems pushed the nazi tattoo guy for the sole purpose and intent of fashjacketing the left.

Fuck that nazi and and his quisling handlers

Congressman Brandon Gill @RepBrandonGill How many Americans have to get Allahu Akbar’ed before we realize Islam is a problem?

The way sitting politicians can say this stuff about Muslims while facing zero consequences is an indication of just how entrenched Islamophobia still is in our institutions and culture.

not to mention shitty economist

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” ― Upton Sinclair, I, Candidate for Governor: And How I Got Licked

but i also think that falls under the heading of plausible deniability. they hire people to construct push polls, not real pulse polls. when they see a strong public response to a candidate, platform or policy, they mobilize quickly and surgically to shut them down. it's intentional incompetence.

And mind you all of this is happening while our elected leadership both of the city and state level are telling the world and us that none of this is happening and that there has been a draw down and forces, and that ice has left the city. These are lies and we need to hold leadership accountable.

It’s really important for people to understand that this morning across the metro at nine different locations federal forces did pre-Dawn militarized raids to arrest people for using their first amendment right to protest and are trying to charge them with federal crimes using the klan act.

federal forces are ramping up activity again in the city I’ve heard of multiple abductions and attempted abductions in the southside already this morning and It’s only 10 AM here.

The feds have not left Minneapolis they’ve just changed their tactics to be more stealthy and aggressive.

i think we'd better agree to disagree here and leave off.

yes, not embracing affordability would be malpractice and i'm glad to see some of them leveraging it (even better if it ends up materially helping people). but it also can't be the only thing, bc it's not the only reason they lost in '24. & it shouldn't be used to avoid other pressing issues.
