If I say something abt being ready for an armed revolt pls know I’m full of shit. I’ve never held a gun & I’ve only fought w my brothers. I’ll join one but I’d die or be wounded quickly. If I’m wounded just charge ahead bc I’ll be fine on the ground playing Bejeweled on my phone for a few hours.

Absolutely brutal report just out from National Association of Realtors on the utterly broken US housing market.
First-time homebuyers fell to a historic low of just 21% of all homebuyers, and their median age was an all-time high of 40 years old.
The American Dream is dead.

The incentive structure here encourages blue states to regulate AI to intentionally fuck over their rural areas from watching 20 hours of Newsmax everyday
Huge @tinanguyen.bsky.social scoop: Trump is preparing to try and ban all state AI laws, going so far as having Brendan Carr’s FCC pull rural broadband funds from states that try to regulate AI www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
Here’s the Trump executive order that would ban state AI laws
Trump is launching an all-out broadside against states with strict AI regulations.

Attendees at last night’s White House dinner honoring MBS were all doing business with him and Saudi Arabia.
Under Trump, the only normative rule is to gain as much power and money as possible.
Power and wealth are honored, even if the honoree has greenlit a brutal murder.

Of all my posts, this is the one that I wish would be shared widely. I hope people will donate to Bryan's legal defense, but even if you don't, it's important to be aware of the human rights horrors that are going on around us on a daily basis.
Please help Bryan, a decent and hardworking person who was just kidnapped off the street in DC. He has been in this country since he was a child. He has a business and a family. He does not deserve such shameful cruelty. Please share.

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

I’m not a fan of communism or Stalin but they sure eradicated fascism in East Germany really quickly. Maybe we need to have a year or two of that to finally end Trumpism.

Pure fascism. Fascists should never be tolerated. If they out themselves, which they often do, they should lose their jobs and if they rent - their housing. These are evil people who are murderous and intent on destroying democracy. They deserve any punishment they get.
Law enforcement physically attacked 72 journalists covering immigration in LA this year—more than double the city’s 2020 BLM protest total, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker.

Normally, I would describe myself as opposed to loyalty tests of all stripes. However, I do firmly believe that well-paying journalism jobs are so rare today that if you believe that the excerpt from Olivia Nuzzi's book is well-written or insightful, you should be forced out of the profession.

I think people need to accept that there is both an urban/rural divide and a northern/southern divide. Major cities in the south tend to vote for Dems but by smaller margins than cities in the north.
Dallas and Houston are like D+30 but Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, etc are like D+55-70

It’s not a felony. It’s not a criminal offence
So why are so many people being violently rounded up & thrown in camps?
