This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Trump said he's "America First" and that's why he wants to stop supporting Ukraine which is fighting Russia's occupation and invasion. But he's open to military options to take Greenland and he calls Canada the 51st state. So, it seems like Trump is just acting like Putin's bitch.

This has long been my conviction about LLMs. They're going to get worse! For the same reason the information environment in general is getting worse. There's just vastly more misinformation out there, and trustworthy information is harder and harder to find and verify

There's an obvious disconnect here. 🇺🇸Hegseth tells NATO defence ministers here at this Brussels summit that Europe should take control of its own security. 🇪🇺Then he tells Europe to step aside while Trump takes control of their security for them through bilateral 🇺🇦negotiations with Putin.

Medicaid covers 41% of all USA births. Pro life party that constantly screams about "declining birth rates," won't fund universal healthcare, won't fund pre-K, won't fund child tax credit, won't fund school lunches, & now eliminates healthcare needed for 2 of every 5 babies. This will kill people.
