The arc of the moral universe is long, but it only bends toward justice if we grab it and bend until it gets fucking bent. Friend of Andre, friend of Samantha. she/her. The only constant is change.

There — I fixed the analysis so it is actually accurate to what happened when 8 Senate Dems caved instead of keeping up the righteous fight to deliver lower health care costs for Americans.

I mean, in one sense that is true. Inability to plan for stable trade policy is one of the biggest challenges facing capitalists right now.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

They are taking food and healthcare away from poor people.
They want poor people to die.
They are willing to sacrifice poor whites if it means they get as many minorities as possible.
It is really that simple.

Prediction: D's &I's and a few R's who never paid attention before will never vote to retain an R judge again in PA. They just spent 12mm to educate us about how important it is to pay attention to their fuckery.
Barring any unexpected retirements, Democrats will enjoy a 5-2 majority on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court until the next retention elections, which are slated for 2027.
Democrats Retain Control of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court with Three-Seat Sweep
The GOP mounted an unusual push to oust three supreme court justices and erase Democrats’ majority on the court. All three prevailed easily in Tuesday’s retention elections.

Oh come on. They can't even figure out how to make sure it doesn't urge children to send nudes & kill themselves. Nothing should ever have been released until this very lowest of low bars was cleared.
Many of you are ambivalent about AI. We're too. Here's an article that attempts to address one aspect of that uncertainty: "The defining question is not how advanced AI becomes, but whether its systems can be secured enough to sustain institutional and public confidence." www.cfr.org/article/secu...
Securing Intelligence: Why AI Security Will Define the Future of Trust
U.S. leadership in the AI century will depend on whether democracies can secure machine intelligence fast enough to preserve the trust and resilience their systems rely on.

It is true that most US courts will allow prosecution of civilians who kick or throw back less lethals. You need qualified immunity. The legal response is to douse it in water which will neutralize it.
Hewson says the woman was arrested because she kicked a can a tear gas toward agents.
"A can of tear gas... kicked at us is assaultive," Hewson says.
