You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

While Cummins made $13 billion in profits over three years, they refuse to provide fair wages and job security to the workers of UAW 291 in Oshkosh, WI. This is corporate greed at its worst. Cummings: sit down and negotiate a fair contract with the union.

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

Did not wake up expecting to have to hand it to Cory Booker. To those saying he's not doing anything: shut the fuck up. Speaking for 13+ hours straight is not an easy thing to do. It's relieving to know that a congressperson is willing to get personally uncomfortable for something

my brother after seeing hamilton for the first time and had almost zero context going in: so it starts off right away he’s rapping, and then they don’t stop rapping! for 75 minutes! and then there’s a break, and then they rap for 75 more minutes! me: so you could say it was… non stop 😏

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

the only way i’d watch this is if they focus on how NOAA was forced to close several weather data sites, and now tornados have become unpredictable (not to mention more destructive due to climate change) and so the team takes on the federal government to fund the NWS

not to defend the robber barons but Andrew Carnegie, the richest man of his era, gave away 90 percent of his wealth and funded the building of 2,811 libraries, and I’m afraid the current crop of oligarchs isn’t sending their best.

2 lies I hear from the right about the federal government: "The federal government has gotten so bloated!" The federal government is the same size it was when Kennedy was president. "Reagan was the last president to cut the federal government!" There were MORE fed employees when he left office.

this may be controversial, but i didn’t love the digital paint style used in wild robot and flow. i think both movies would have benefited from actual hand drawn/painted animation. it would have added more heart to two movies are filled with emotions and beautiful landscapes

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

When you visit the parks enjoy your time and you see the rangers smiling and helping. Just remember that they probably didn't sleep the night before and that they probably spent the evening crying. We've also been secretly training bears to use tasers so if you're an asshole...

We probably all need to become more blatantly anti-Silicon Valley. Give me less innovation, and more soul. New technology doesn’t mean infinite progress especially without being grounded in what it means to be human.

We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government. This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.
