"And now, in the latest of a string of appalling actions, a sitting U.S. senator has been assaulted and detained in the state he honorably serves solely because he tried to do his job as a public servant. The good faith experiment is clearly over." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-good-f...

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

Our whole society is going Nazi, and it's not because Trump has mass popular support - his support has barely changed in years - it's because our elites are unable to tolerate the uncomfortable experience of opposing bigotry, authoritarianism, and conspiracism in their own social circles.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

We should never let ourselves get desensitized to this. It can’t be overstated how outrageously unpresidential and un-American it is for Donald Trump to speak to the US military like they’re his partisan personal army.

President Donald Trump has affirmed the importance of HBCUs, and the schools have not faced the kind of pressures that have rocked Ivy League schools Trump has blasted as hotbeds of "wokeness" and antisemitism. But that is not to say it's a comfortable time for HBCUs' leaders.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

It isn't actually that hard. Like, if someone says "I'm trying to decide between these shower curtains, which one do you like?" they will welcome your opinion If someone says "check out my newly renovated bathroom", they might not welcome your "IMO you should redo it this different way" 1/x

Eric Berg is a chiropractor who spreads lies about safe & nutritious foods. Organic is a 35-year scam legitimized by politics. It is NOT pesticide free & those pesticides are less regulated. Many are more toxic than those used in conventional farming. Me and Danielle Shine fact-check ⬇️ 1/

This lull in the first digital nuclear war—a pocket civil war in the United States—is likely caused by Musk huddling with his lawyers to determine whether Trump really can deport him as Trump’s generals (e.g., Bannon) are urging him to do. Things are getting quite serious, now.

MPD is already trying to lie about what happened. City of Minneapolis official account also reposted them. As long as Frey is Mayor we will have a police department ready to assist ICE and then try to lie about it. Look at the thread to see what MPD’s cooperation and assistance led to today.
