For you youngn's out there, this is a deep, deep cut especially to the sentient but evil remaining members of the Republican party, because all the Keyboard Commandos LOVED them when they were publishing satirical cartoons about Muhammad
This will hit different for older Republicans.

I think the thing that killed the administration was that they were so gung-ho to find a reason that Pretti deserved to die that they accidentally declared that that the second amendment isn't real.
I have been waiting for this signal from Senator Rand Paul.
Senator Paul, Chairman of Senate Homeland Security Committee follows House committee. Sends letters to heads of ICE, CBP, USCIS to testify in public hearing.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Best way to stop the conquest of Greenland is to point out the likelihood of two additional Democratic senators.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Will THIS finally end Trump adviser Bryan Lanza's frequent appearances on BBC News? Anyone working for a sanctioned Russian company _should_ be shunned (...if not tarred & feathered). FYI: @kattybkay.bsky.social @zurch.bsky.social @rosatkins.bsky.social @caitrionaperry.bsky.social

AI accelerating backlash against Tech in schools: "Sweden banned digital tools for young children & now emphasises physical textbooks, handwriting and reading"; Denmark & Finland too. Mostly due to ChatGPT and the mass cheating it makes possible, but teachers also worry about mass distraction.

Based on a 2020 report commissioned by Sen Bernie Sanders & conducted by the U.S. Gov't Accountability Office (GAO), Walmart & McDonald’s had the most employees receiving SNAP benefits: in 9 states, Walmart employed cca 14000 & McDonald’s about 8,700. Other companies: Amazon, Burger King, Target.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Fantastic anti war song + surrealist AI video in Russian: "I'm Happy!" Singer sounds like a hard rock version of Vladimir Vysotsky. Poignant lyrics are a mordant satire of today's Russian reality. Deserves a wider audience. Don't know anything about the author(s). www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htag...
