Getting tired of all of this.

Which I guess is their intent

My donations this year:

MSF (Doctors w/o Borders)
World Kitchen
UCLA
KQED (NPR)
I donate food to local school where it stays local.

Focus on people we harm with foreign policy, on information and rule of law.

Sadly, no domestic food banks anymore. Maybe hunger is going to move people to vote.

I think anyone who is remotely serious about winning the Dem nomination in ‘28 must be ironclad on four points.
1. Abolishing ICE
2. Vigorously prosecuting and all Trump admin criminal acts
3. Razing anything Trump has slapped his name on - on day one
4. Reforming the Supreme Court

Having a chat and agents verifying my identity 5 times in a row as I get transferred to different departments is good basis for an accessible and secure customer service.

It would be beneficial if they could actually also answer questions and help resolve problems.

I wasted so much time today…

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

To anyone who justified their Trump vote by saying he’s good for the economy, what’s your excuse now?

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Trump is defending the 9/11 attackers!
If Dems were as organized and ruthless as GOP is, they’d all be issuing synchronized “Trump is defending the 9/11 attackers” memes nonstop and everywhere today to make him and Karoline defend his Saudi fawning.

Start bringing guns to gun fights FFS.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
