This is an excellent article explaining what is happening in the US. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

🤬 With signs of torture and some internal organs absent – Prosecutor General's Office tells about state of body identified as that of journalist Roshchyna

As a comms expert and socialist, my grand theory of LLMs/Copilot/etc is that the reason people look at the garbage these machines produce and go "this looks plausible and coherent" is because a huge amount of the text humans produce in their actual jobs is *also* insubstantial waffle 🧵

Note how much of what Trump is trying to destroy, from Radio Free Europe to transatlantic trade, is precisely what the Russians most want him to destroy www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

The last several hours have been brutal here in Kharkiv. We've been hit by 7 missiles and 11 Russian drones. It was relentless, truly overwhelming, and terrifyingly, the attack continues. Russian cruise missiles are already inside our airspace, and more drones are coming

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv. This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it. The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

JD Vance this month broke Ohio State’s trophy, made all of Greenland want to beat his ass, and killed the Pope. Frank Grimes is the VP.

Bill Maher is the Marco Rubio of comedy.

The Social Footprint — Why Trolls Have to Act Human. Trolls don’t succeed by being obvious. They succeed by being believable. And that means behaving like a real person, with habits, rhythms, and feelings. Those patterns are the giveaway.

While the United States has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies. Why? He wants more power — and in the process, he’s subjecting millions to real harm. America’s actual national emergency is Donald J. Trump.

...

It's not manufacturing jobs you want, it's a stable job with a middle-class wage, retirement, affordable health insurance, and worker protections that you want. Which isn't naturally tied to factory jobs, but it is naturally tied to union organizing.

Attention White House: Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.

9 children. Internalize it. russia fired a cluster munition at a playground. According to them it was a calculated move.
