This has to be one of the most obliviously disastrous policy proposals since the Iraq War. It’s almost guaranteeing that crypto causes a financial crisis and then taxpayers bail out crypto companies. Crypto is just an elaborate scam—and this is its ultimate heist.

We all know the nazi salute is terrible. The salute launched the Tesla Takedown protests. But since then Musk is responsible for mass murder. That needs to be stressed so that people know what they're facing and can form a meaningful opposition. It isn't mentioned because it's unpalatable.

Chris Murphy: "The entire administration is a grift from top to bottom... it appears Musk didn't get everything that he wanted in this bill to help his companies, and so he's throwing a temper tantrum... you have to understand none of this is on the level. It's a bunch of thieves stealing from us."

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

My latest — I wrote about Trump pardoning reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley’s tax and bank fraud convictions after their daughter praised him at the RNC vs. 18-year-old Marcelo Gomes da Silva’s wrongful ICE detainment, and how justice has merely become a presidential transaction. Read here:

My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right. 3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!

“.. I work in Toys and we had about 600 price changes in the last couple days... EVERYTHING went up," one user posted last week. “It's f***ing crazy." @the-independent.com $WMT $TGT www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Life is hard, that's why no one survives. Doubly so in Bloodborne. twitch.tv/loomis360 #SAMMI #streamerbot #LumiaStream

Extremely interesting story: the Ukraine drones that did this weekend’s massive attack were powered by free open source pilot assistance software www.404media.co/ukraines-mas...

Rand Paul: "Once this bill votes, and this debt ceiling goes through, the debt is owned by the GOP, and there is no more campaigning and saying 'This is the Democrats.' It will be owned by the Republicans and I think that's a huge mistake."

Thank you, Missoula, MT!

Well, at least we have confirmation that "be so evil no one believes journalists who call it out" is an explicit fascist strategy. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Remember when Ronald Reagan literally had Alzheimer's during his 2nd term, his wife ran the country with astrology, the Republicans all covered it up and turned him into an icon naming airports and highways after him all over the country? Yeah, that actually happened.

Also holy shit the Mariners Pride Month video is SO good

The #Reds have to have broken the team record for most infield pop-ups in one game, and it's only the 7th inning.

Awkward way for Joni Ernst to find out she isn’t funny. Let’s stop sending people like Joni Ernst and Lindsey Graham to the Senate.

And he's still at it. The media gullibly latched on to the ‘cost cutting’ spin from the jump and never let go.

One fear w/ combining OSINT like Palantir, AI decision making, w/ this administration has been combining everyone's public and private data to determine a tyrant's version of a social credit score: a grade based on how loyal you are to the admin and consequences for people below a certain grade.

Notice that “protestors” and “rioters” are being used interchangeably.

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

It’s finally infrastructure week, now that Biden and the Democrats did the infrastructure bill!

I don’t want to live in a world where people are in jail and barred from work for smoking weed but an unelected man actively abusing ketamine faces no repercussions for illegally seizing all of our data and making decisions that kill hundreds of thousands of people

Nazi's say what?

i have said this before but this is why it was and is important not to ignore the “NPC” language. these people really believe that other human beings are not real, with all the consequences that flow from this

My middle school kids take the subway to school. And I have no fears at all. My oldest started taking the MTA bus to school at 10. I don’t know how democracy can function when government officials can go on a news network with HUGE reach and just baldly lie, with no pushback.

OK, back to Bloodborne, which I barely remember how to play, it's been so long. But I suffer FOR YOU! #lezdoit twitch.tv/loomis360 #SAMMI #streamerbot #LumiaStream #taco

@vinnycaravella.bsky.social It has a lot of the safety features you talked about and Android Auto. Occasionally the engine will rev real fast (known as "angry bees") a few times a year but that's really the only negative thing I can say. It is comfortable and roomy, like an Accord.

@vinnycaravella.bsky.social I don't know how often you check this account, but we own a 2017 Honda Clarity plug-in hybrid. They stopped making it but you can probably find a good used one for under $20k. It can go up to 40 miles on all electric before using the engine and it recharges overnight 120v

No tax on tips? Cool. Now make companies pay a living wage so rent doesn’t hinge on someone’s mood after a burger.

Every summer: Canada is on 🔥 Every winter: politicians push energy projects Every summer: Canada is on 🔥 Every winter: politicians push energy projects Every summer: Canada is on 🔥 Are we goldfish?

This checks and balances / separation of powers thing really doesn’t work when the majority in congress doesn’t agree with it.

When she says electricians and plumbers what she means is peasants
