It was widely reported including CIA assets disappeared and were missing.

Democrats turned a blind eye when they held the reins of justice.

Vought and Musk must never know freedom again after their mass murder of millions.
Every day I wonder if my friends’ family are alive or dead. A humanitarian catastrophe on the scale of the Cambodian or Bangladesh genocide is happening and Vought is sure he’s gonna skate back to the dinner party scene after it’s over like Kissinger did. There has to be legal accountability.

the messianic thinking baked into all this AI stuff. it's unhinged and blasphemous and arrives to us in the banal language we've come to consider background noise / a new product / the next big thing. oooo I should write something good about this but not sure I can

trying to wrangle this thought in my brain about how it's all language. between the stories we've passed down and the weird "we've created a GOD" AI talk over LLMS that are just producing languages and images and leaving us to imagine the rest... something there I think but I need 2 get smarter
I'm pretty sure I know. They aren't. We're not going to really be able to make a lot of progress in dealing with the implications of this tech unless and until we get rid of all this "woo-woo" talk about LLMs. Anthropic pushing this line is PR, unserious.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

"This is the most shamelessly, brazenly, openly corrupt and compromised government in modern American history and, astonishingly, the person who sits at the center of much of that corruption and compromise isn’t even a member of the government: It’s Jared Cory Kushner, First Son-in-Law." - me
👀 Jared Kushner... Redacted?
The president's son-in-law is at the center of a huge new scandal. Plus: the Trump administration's war on the climate and the Pakistani government's war on Imran Khan's health.

A reminder to all the folks passing this around to look closely. This article is dated 2018.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!
Black Women Are Losing Jobs At Three Times The Rate Of Other Women | Essence
New labor data shows Black women accounted for a disproportionate share of job losses across 2025, especially in federal, education, and care-sector roles.

Just an astoundingly bad AP poll for Trump

• 36% overall job approval
• 72% disapprove of Greenland threats
• 66% describe economy as doing poorly
• 60% unfavorable view of ICE

Cannot stress enough: the vast majority of Americans think this presidency is a failure.

When people say that the Democrats need their own media ecosystem, they fail to realize that they already do, but it’s got all the wrong answers. The New Republic and The Atlantic are cases in point. The Democratic Media Ecosystem supports the Democrats who are already in charge of the party.

Dems could get enough votes to impeach RFK Jr over this, no question. Conviction in the Senate is harder, 67 is a high hurdle. But a strong Dem push for it, including a relentless media strategy, could cause Trump to panic and force a u-turn.
In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

One more thing.

Podcasters like Rogan and Piker represent morons. They don’t know anything but act like they’re serious people and when reality slaps them in the face, they’re always shocked.

HORRIFYING -
Dismantling USAID & cancelling >80% of aid caused ~750,000 deaths by mid-2025

🧸Most were children
⌛️ Many died within the first year

😰 Preventable deaths were mainly from:
