Remember that time New York elected a Muslim mayor and MAGA shit their pants saying Sharia law was coming to NYC, and then like a week later Trump gave F-35's to Saudi Arabia, the capital of Wahabbi fundamentalist Islam, where 17 of 19 9/11 hijackers were citizens? Just to open Trump Tower Riyadh?

"They don't care about Trump's past sins, they care about his current failures" is quite a GOP message.
Rep. Jason Smith: "Epstein had been dead for years. It's not something I hear from people when I travel back home in Missouri. They care about the affordability crisis."

I had this condition, so I had to stay with friends to have my child in California instead of moving back to an Ireland that let women die.
So we’re both Californians now. 🤷🏻♀️
If you’re lucky enough to have a choice, bet on the places that show the most respect for women’s lives.
The bar is low.

If "Monica" (hemorrhaging w/ placenta previa at 20 wks) had access to a D&E, she would've been able to consider a vaginal birth in future pregnancies.
Not only did she suffer a dangerous complication, but her entire reproductive future has changed.

I’m gonna disagree with this one.
What we’re calling “AI” doesn’t replace cognition. It replaces pattern matching, but on its own has no idea which patterns are important or why.
We are nowhere close to an actual thinking machine.

The plow, the steam engine, electricity — all replaced muscle. AI replaces cognition. If you spend your day “reading lots of stuff and turning it into straight English,” well… so does the machine. The goal now is to learn from history and cushion the blow better than last time.

Stalking a 19-year-old David Hogg, who had just survived a school shooting, berating him, calling him names, and accusing him of being a liar isn't "toxic politics." It's being a crude, unhinged sociopath.

When they say: “I can’t say anything anymore,” what they mean is, “I can’t say it without consequence.” It's not a loss of free speech. They are describing a loss of supremacy.
And because most of these imagined humiliations never happened, the outrage lives on because the incident never did.
