When this guy finds out how much of his budget was going to just manufacturing, arming, then arresting terrorist threats, will he even understand what he was looking at? Will we be hearing about "this woke COINTELPRO thing where we pay people to attend mosques" now?

Imagine having power over the most militarily and economically powerful nation of the world and using it to force ad agencies to buy ads on Twitter. So low it bounced off the Earth's core. It turns out that no, no media publication has covered ad tech enough. www.wsj.com/business/med...

"Not doing our jobs is a strange way of saying we want better working conditions." That's what this quote sounds like. You're not talking about a "boycott." You're talking about a strike! These are different tactics and concepts.

I do think it’s really important to understand Trump’s motivation. He is determined to get revenge on the nation that rejected him. The only ideology at play for him is white supremacy. The rest of this is straight obsessive revenge.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

This administration's attacks on trans people aren't "a distraction" from everything else they're doing. We're not a distraction. What they're doing to trans people is the most bad thing of all - everything else being done is to distract people from the targeting of trans people for extermination.

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.
