This is high-quality extrapolation, worthy of your attention.
"...a military invasion of Canada would trigger a decades-long violent resistance, which would ultimately destroy the United States."

The mayor of New York did more than our Prime Minister.
“I called the president and spoke with him directly to register my opposition to this act,” Mr. Mamdani said at an unrelated news conference on Saturday, adding that he told Mr. Trump that he was “opposed to a pursuit of regime change, to the violation of federal and international law.”

I don’t know what moment Chuck Schumer is made for, but it sure as shit isn’t this one.
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

almost every product this guy’s company puts out is slop, from windows to xbox to its once great office suite
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

When I say there is no democracy in this country, this is what I mean. We have no democratic control of *anything* no matter how consequential. We can’t stop a genocide, we can’t impeach a billionaire pedophile, we can’t stop an AI CSAM factory.These are all related.

Every wildest fear at the time of the Department of Homeland Security's creation has been realized or at least stated as a public mission. The organization was born rotten and has only grown worse; dismantling it is the gentlest possible fate and the future of democracy likely requires more.
