If you know about Korea, you know that people will tell this story for generations.
Given the scale, tech savvy, cultural sway, strategic importance, and national pride of ROK, this might be *the* most lastingly damaging, idiotic move team MAGA has made.

Unsurprisingly, Trump is tanking the economy just like he tanked his own companies.

I'm angry that this person who said abominable things is going to be a martyr for the right. I'm angry that our sitting president can call the governor of Utah and tweet his sympathy, but makes jokes or ignores political violence directed at those on the left ie MN lawmakers, MI gov, Paul Pelosi.

I keep seeing ads for people promising a get rich quick scheme and it's someone promising to teach you how to generate books and audiobooks for publishing on amazon via KDP and audible. They are all junk. I think the only people getting rich from this are the people advertising the program.
New: I found 517 likely AI-generated nonfiction books for kids on Amazon, often aping the "Who Was?" or "Little People, Big Dreams" series.
Amazon earns royalties and ad revenue from the books I identified; it also literally prints some of them through Kindle Direct Publishing.

I'm so tired of this. I don't care if he plays golf, the less time he spends damaging the country, great. But stop with the up and down tariffs and manipulating the markets to enrich yourself and your buddies while the rest of us flounder.
Class Trump Friday:
Destabilize the markets.
Run away to golf.

NBC News confirms: The chief of staff to DNI Tulsi Gabbard asked analysts to revise an intelligence assessment on the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua — after it contradicted Trump's claims to justify deportations — to shield Trump and Gabbard from political criticism. @msnbc.com

Can you imagine coming here legally on a tourist visa and ending up in the gulag in El Salvador?! I wouldn't come here on a tourist visa from ANYWHERE right now. Clearly, it's not safe.

So the GOP is ignoring the non-white Palestinians being killed by Israel's government, ignoring the Black people in Sudan and DRC being killed but the GOP are going to bring white Afrikaners from South Africa to the US as refugees. Sounds about white.

They're all drinking from the same slop hose and regurgitating the same half-masticated propaganda thinking they are having original and interesting thoughts. It's genuinely incredible. bsky.app/profile/gbbr...
I heard Stephen A. Smith tell CNN yesterday that "people are afraid they're going to lose their job for messing up a pronoun" and it really amazes me how many people don't realize they are awash in intentional propaganda designed to make them afraid of the wrong things and angry at the wrong people
Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

This week I joined my BART family to see BART station improvements in my district.
As someone who was born with a visual impairment - I’ve relied on public transit my whole life and know personally the need for affordable, safe, accessible, and high quality transit.

Absolutely. I can't believe these monsters can just do whatever they please and not be held accountable. I don't care how you feel about undocumented immigrants because 1. Trump has said next he'll be sending "home-growns" and 2. because why even HAVE a constitution if we aren't going to follow it.
If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury.
This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.
