The existence of Elon Musk raises the question “what if the person training the AI is hallucinating worse than any AI ever could?”

This is an absolutely disgraceful act of corruption by both major parties. It will lead to an incredibly foreseeable set of disasters: best case, unlimited corruption and scamming, worst case a global financial crisis and inevitable federal bailout. Horrifying that 18 Democrats voted for it.

Defund every one of these specific cops. Remove them from their jobs. Melt down their weapons. Hire social workers and mental health outreach people with the money you save.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This sums it up so perfectly. I know this is what the administration wants. I know it’s an intentional provocation. I know they’ll use it to justify more draconian actions. But not standing up to it isn’t an option. Period. You stand up or you get walked over.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Mike Johnson advocating for kidnapping children. Any Dem worth a shit will make it clear that anyone can buy a gaiter and a fake ICE vest. And he's saying go willingly with them. There is no reason a federal employee shouldn't have to show their face. And this should be an easy one to win.

I'm not the most unbending person politically speaking. I understand strange bedfellows and big tents and all of that practical stuff. But you have to have some principles and no principled person can look at Musk and RFK and say "if only we embraced them things would be better." Fuck this guy.

Three men sit in a cell in El Salvador. The first asks the second why he has been imprisoned. He replies, "Because I criticized Elon Musk." The first man responds, "But I am here for praising Musk!" They ask the third man who has been sitting quietly in the back. He answers, "I AM Elon Musk".

I'll never understand the infinite legion of wannabe-villains who think they can ride Trump's coattails to infamy, each being destroyed and dumped off the sea-cliff one after the other. An unending march of idiot goons, sneering and mustache-twirling as they jump into the abyss.
