It’s irresponsible to promote A.I. without also discussing its environmental cost.

The amount of money capital will spend on the faint hope they can put more people out of work is astounding. This is not about money. Hostility to labor is an ideology, and in many cases, psychotic. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Mere days after a political assassination in Minnesota, Trump's DOJ announces plans to slash the number of inspectors who monitor federally licensed gun dealers by two-thirds. This is not only tone deaf, it's crazy!

I will turn 50 this September. I was born in 1975, and I represent the only generation of American women born with full rights that have been lost in the same lifetime. My generation has witnessed anti-progress. A cultivated backpedal. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled that incarcerated people have a right for their claims to be heard by a jury in cases where access to the prison’s grievance procedure is at issue. This is a step toward making justice more accessible for people in prison.

Exactly what I was saying earlier. Apparently, we need to make this explicit. Faceless thugs acting as "Law-enforcement" have no place in a democracy.

Senator Tammy Duckworth, a military veteran, DESTROYS Pete Hegseth over his misuse of the military. Instead of preparing America to defend itself he’s abusing it to patrol neighborhoods. ‘If you want to be DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for the job after you’re fired for your incompetence!’

Assuming Democrats manage to actually get control of Congress back at some point, they need to pass a law that law-enforcement officers present credentials and identify themselves to lawfully detain someone. Faceless thugs should not be permitted in a functioning democracy.

MAJOR UPDATE: A government watchdog found that the Trump administration ILLEGALLY blocked library and museum funding. I fought back for institutions across the U.S. that preserve our history and add billions to our economy. There’s power in fighting back. We're not done yet.

And that theme is “kakistocracy.” That means: “government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.”

Trump calls it a “gift to America.” I call it what it is: a $400 million bribe disguised as a jet, that he keeps. Paid for by Qatar and US taxpayers, owned by Trump. Corruption at 35,000 feet: youtu.be/hcqUvvy01UM

Hot take: Only people willing to treat source material with respect should be given creative control of it. Note that respect is not “devotional reverence,” but it is also not anyone who goes in with the goal of “subverting expectations.” Be Favreau, Gilroy, or Filoni, not Rian Johnson.

Every accusation is a confession. That’s an ironclad rule with the GOP. Take it to the bank. They know that Trump is addled and that others like Stephen Miller are actually calling the shots. So they accuse Biden of the same—even though he didn’t even run against Trump. It’s textbook projection.

He’s lying. About so much here. But he also thinks the American people are stupid. And he’s utterly incapable of putting the country’s interests before his own. He always has been.

Why am I done with David Hogg? I’m at not because he attacked the lazy, establishment, “do nothing” Democrats. It’s because he decided that the Democratic Party needs to go back to focusing solely on economic issues so that white people, especially men, aren’t made to feel “uncomfortable.” 1/2

The Trump administration is defying the Supreme Court, arresting judges and mayors, talking about arresting congressmen, denying due process and openly musing about suspending habeus corpus too. There’s no constitutional crisis coming. It’s here.

Look, blatant corruption aside, the one upside of Donny Dipshit riding around in a plane built by a foreign power is that using it may be the only thing that reduce his life expectancy faster than all the cheeseburgers, well-done steaks with ketchup, and adderall.

Aside from the basic ethics and illegality, having the president ride a plane set up by a foreign power seems like a major security and intelligence risk.

This is not good. State trooper cars should be highly visible and marked. It’s not safe to have unmarked or low visibility vehicles pulling people over, especially in the age of ICE kidnappings. www.kctv5.com/2025/05/09/c...

The Venn diagram of Bernie Bros and people who think Democrats need stop making white dudes uncomfortable may not be a circle, but it’s pretty fucking close. And they’re still telling women and people of color they don’t matter. This post is about @davidhogg.bsky.social

You know....when young men start ranting about not being able to get laid, I always wonder why they never try to do any introspection to discover what it is about them that causes women to find them unfuckable. Its not the job of any political party to help you get laid. That's a you problem.

David Hogg and Bill Maher think democrats need to pander to incels? No thanks.

David Hogg's entire interview was about white men's need to be seen as victims. No one is keeping white men from finding a woman. What they want is a submissive woman who will just lie down and bear babies while cleaning the house. A seen and not heard individual. David Hogg is incels as fuck.

That David Hogg was one self-inflicted wound, and why? So we could have some more young white penis in the party? We can do better than that.

Idk. David Hogg's whole reason for young men walking away from the Democratic party sounded rape-y and new generation Epstein. You shouldn't worry about democracy, you should really be worried about how to get more ass. All genders, don't leave your drink alone near David Hogg. He's sus.

That "some people" has a name, and it's David Hogg. He needs to resign his Vice Chair seat or step away from his PAC immediately. That PAC is decidedly NOT NUETRAL.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"
