We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

"Donald Trump has wrecked America’s brand. He’s made crossing over from Canada a betrayal, bordering on treason, while turning the U.S. into a laughingstock around the globe." @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

LAT here echoes what LAPD deputy chief said on KNX: Police claim some protesters threw rocks. Let's see it. LAPD has THOUSANDS of bodcams out there. Downtown is blanketed in security cameras. Show. Us. The. Video. Then let's compare it to the use of force in response. Receipts must be checked. 🧾

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

I'm struggling to figure out what they thought the value add was for either Wikipedia or its users. Every article already has an ✨actually accurate✨ summary at the top of the page. If there's a problem, their editors can fix it. Nobody is even getting paid. This is just AI for the same of AI.

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

Thinking of all the families in the middle east fearing the devastating effects of war on their lives. Iraq was just starting to lift its head towards normality after decades of violence and destruction and here we go again getting sandwiched. There’s just no break 😢

I read that NYT piece about ChatGPT drastically worsening mental health, and I’m still processing it because it was so exceedingly dark. But I will say this to tech companies: what good are profits in a society that is wholly unprepared for the worst consequences of this tech?

June 14 may be Trump's birthday and the 250th Army anniversary parade. But for those wanting to demonstrate distaste for the president, it will be "No Kings" day. Approximately 2,000 communities across the US plan to hold protests or demonstrations to oppose the Trump administration’s power grab.

Farmworkers are hiding because Trump made them targets. Without farmworkers, the crops that feed our nation rot and our tables go empty. This isn’t strong immigration policy — it’s economic sabotage fueled by hate. www.bbc.com/news/article...

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

okay but the thing about the CIA is that the mythology of the agency belies the reality, which is that for much of its existence it was a rubber room for WASP failsons and their operations reflect this

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

I'm told the Proud Boys are suing the government over their imprisonment from Jan 6th. Wonder if they've already been in contact with the administration and this is the agreed upon form of Trump's "reparations".
