My radical view is that the story about the president being implicated in a notorious paedophile ring should be covered as an important story *in its own right*, and then secondarily any political consequences can be covered later

"I am tired of losing and worse, I am tired of expecting to lose. We need Democrats who will use their positions of power not to constantly capitulate, compromise, and cave, but to fight-- not to say the word ‘fight’ because it’s the popular thing to do, but to actually do it & mean it."

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

But alas, our problem is not partisanship; it is not conflict; it is not even the gutter. Our problem is fascism."

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

This article is really great bc it's about an org everyone knows but seems so boring we forget about it (Common Crawl) and turns out they're doing something extremely shady, AND the guy in charge keeps saying the most damning things to a reporter www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
The Nonprofit Doing the AI Industry’s Dirty Work
The web archive Common Crawl has been quietly funneling paywalled articles to AI companies—and lying to publishers about it.

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

Something I love about archival films is that when someone had a couple feet of film left on a roll they'd often use it to film their cat. So many films finish with a few seconds of cats
So, here's some cats from the 1950s and 60s. They were loved
Scanned from 8mm films

This is a REALLY good video that gets into the *specifics* of how AI is degrading our information environment and putting truth further out of reach for the average person / the population as a whole

They don't want Dem votes because they need them to keep going on a tyrannical crime spree. It's because they're useful to pretend it's all normal and legal, that it's something other than a tyrannical crime spree. They want the appearance of legitimacy. Nothing is worth giving that to them.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.
