Look, I’m not advocating violence, but I do want to note that one of the interesting things about living under an aristocracy is how much better our lives would be if only like five rich guys died.

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Dear Mr. Martin, As a patriot, I threaten to bring the same rhetorical weapons to bear that I used last week against any enemy of the republic, especially against Nazis and their fluffers, whether they are found in the White House or the DOJ. Sincerely, Hon. Garcia P.S. You’re a dick, too.

I’d love to know how we could get as many of those kind of journalists working. Publicly endowed news? Billionaire-controlled media is a disaster.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Where are all the Dem consultants who supposedly do "comms" work at? Where's the website put together with succinct talking points, one pagers, posters that folks can easily download, print and pass out in their communities? Why aren't they doing this work PRO-BONO?

Darkly funny that Republicans spent four years insisting that Biden was a senile puppet of [insert right-wing bogeyman here] and the second they returned to power the entire party very publicly handed over the keys to the federal government to an unelected fascist billionaire

I’m glad that a tech magazine, a music magazine, and a teen fashion magazine have stepped up to fill the void left behind by the craven legacy media institutions.

Entire USAID agency worldwide was deleted by a consulting government employee with no authority to do so. It’s a constitutional crisis that puts US national security at risk and normies won’t get this until legacy media says this clearly and loudly.

The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying. pepfarimpact.vercel.app

Dems should take a hard line: no CRs or debt ceiling increases without full reinstatement of fired federal employees with back pay and an independent special prosecutor that Trump can't fire to investigate what happened over the last week with Musk.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

The Democratic “plan” is to “not get distracted” as Trump seizes Treasury, purges the FBI and the military, and completely defies all laws limiting himself, and then win back the House in 2026 by talking about inflation. It’s an awful plan.

I hate that it's gotten this far, but if countries want to counter a US-imposed trade war, they should make Elon Musk's companies a focus of their retaliation. Those business interests have effectively merged with the US executive branch, and decision-makers value them more than the American people.

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

maybe there was actually a pretty good reason for the 14th amendment to have banned insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government from serving in government and the decision to just decide it was a dead letter and ignore it was a horrible mistake?

I love the thing we all do whenever Trump is president where we're like "oh ho ho! I have found a spelling error! In an official executive order! How embarrassing this must be for them!" and the executive order is like "It is now legal for us to kilb you"

Dear Democratic orgs and politicians, enough is enough! I’m not sending you another $20. Especially if you’re not publicly talking about how to fix our problems as a party. Money won’t save us. Real talk—SPEAK OUT. We’ve been patient, but your silence is exhausting. No action, no donations!

To be clear, our most historically trusted media outlets carried a tremendous amount of water & shattered their credibility for an administration that will now make it state policy to see them ousted from their jobs if they show even bare minimum backbone. They were warned of this for many years.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Elon Musk grew up in an apartheid country, backed a German political party that seeks to rehabilitate Hitler, was sued by the federal government for abuse against Black workers, promoted pro-Hitler tweets, and gave a Hitler salute twice in a speech. But what are his real political beliefs?

IMO: What AI should be doing: assisting experts in a field with tasks that require massive amounts of data analysis, speeding up their process. What AI should not be doing: simplifying complex subjects for non-experts who don't understand the underlying concepts or knowledge base.
