The U.S. president has now chosen to throw America to Putin’s side and is more than willing to see this war end on Russian terms. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

"Most Americans don’t want to believe that their government is taking life­saving medicine away from sick people in Africa, or betraying Afghans who sacrificed for this country" But it is. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

To my MAGA friends: We're threatening Greenland, Canada, ethnically cleaning Gaza, and handing Ukraine over to its invader. Trump's shattering of order in the world will trigger more land grabs. You may think this is fun. But your children will not be spared the resulting global conflict.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Baseless slander and false accusations are the height of evil, because they are so hard to counter. In comparison, Donald Trump IS a convicted felon, on 34 counts. It was his choice to break the law. His choice also to throw false accusations around like crazy.

In dark times, goodness is given sanctuary in the hearts and actions of women. www.yahoo.com/news/3-study...

Will Trump and the right-wing movement be successful in rooting out kindness in this world, replacing it with corruption?

Please read. It's important to understand that corruption is the goal and the outcome which is in reach.

Demanding nation-destroying reparations from the nation THAT WAS ATTACKED. As an American, this makes me sick to my soul. How did my nation come to such a place of evil?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Fascism grows until it ends in war. WWIII is coming.

He’s been co-POTUS for 4 weeks. Not even a month. And they’re already calling for the likely future leader of the Democratic Party—a nonwhite woman—to be put in a cage. Twitter has many tweets like the one below. Everyone needs to understand: America is on very limited time now. Fascism is here.

NYT gift article worth clicking.

This is a propaganda piece by the company or the Chinese government. AI has made it sound like a Western news piece. I don't know how we're going to see straight in the growing Internet hall of mirrors. Influence peddling and astroturfing will dominate even more. youtu.be/YaX5r6Pmugs?...

USA pals in the Kremlin attacked a nuclear plant yesterday but only cracked the outer shell. No worries they’ll get a 2nd chance to spew radioactive fallout on Northern Hemisphere since DOD Hegseth gave the word we won’t protect Europe and Trump promised Ukraine to Putin. apnews.com/article/russ...

Law abiding, democratic countries make him feel uncomfortable and interfere with his plans.

Canada, Greenland, Panama. Gaza. Giving Ukraine's land to the Russians. When WWIII is raging over newly flexible national borders and tens of millions are dying, we will know that Donald J. Trump was the pyromaniac who set the world on fire.

BlueSky needs to find ways to validate humanity and identity. I'm flooded with bot friend follows. Suspect bots in every discussion. Someone needs to pay for them, and billionaires and nation states are the ones with the resources. #CorruptInternetTheory

AI has deep negative and positive consequences -- and also is inevitable. Because of competition between nations, we cannot legislate it away. What we can do is use AI ourselves to drive better outcomes for us individually, our families, and society #Singularity blog.samaltman.com/three-observ...

There is no level of wealth disparity in America which is too high for the billionaires. They will always want more.

America has always been a diverse nation. Diversity, particularly diversity through immigration, has always been the secret to America's success.

"History is written by the victors." The victors are almost always the most aggressive party. The men. To have that playing out in our supposedly advanced day and age is so disconcerting and sad.

By amplifying attacks on the Democratic Party from both the right and the left, Republicans have successfully shifted "the center" right and achieved something very similar.
