What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

/3 He’s never loved, he’s never been loved, and he’s never been happy, he never will be. He’ll die unhappy.

But not as unhappy as he deserves.

/2 Has Trump ever felt joy? Has he ever had a truly happy day? Does he have any fond memories at all? Has he ever experienced anything closer to contentment than gloating, or smugness, or fleeting satisfaction in demeaning others?

We can DEFINITELY enjoy the fact that Trump is miserable. He’s President and he’s miserable. He’s got supreme power and he’s miserable. He’s insecure, resentful, consumed by bitterness and rage and entitlement, incapable of being fulfilled.

I guess it’s possible to enjoy the disappointment and humiliation of Trump supporters even as we plunge over the edge of the chasm.

This is what Idaho is signing up for. NOT fiscally responsible, but they know that.
This is precisely the intention of vouchers. They are an elaborate plot to destroy the public education system, which is part of a larger plot to enslave the American population
Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year.

I am 64 years old and FOR MOST OF MY LIFE two things were true:

- fascists were trying to take over the USA

- we were beating them

Those creeps are beatable. We beat them for decades. In the 30s they tried a form of MAGA and US beat them. The 50s? McCarthy purges. US beat them.

Do. Not. Doom.

The horror in that video you saw today has happend to children at Annunciation Church and in Uvalde and in Sandy Hook and countless other schools over the last few decades.

If you’re outraged by the death of Charlie Kirk, you should be equally outraged for them.

Valued users!

We understand that over the past 250-odd years, you have come to rely on the services provided by the U.S. of A.: postal delivery, representative government, edible food, clean water, lifesaving vaccines, and no kings—ever, guaranteed. Well, 250 years of free is enough.

Hey didn't ChatGPT tell that kid who hung himself not to tell his parents he was suicidal? Hm. So we got school districts forcing kids to use AI and local government shutting down suicide prevention lines. If you were actively trying to get more kids to off themselves these are the steps you'd take.
Teens calling Idaho's suicide hotline are being told they can't proceed with the conversation without parental consent. Many of the callers are then hanging up.

Idaho approved a strict parental consent law last year.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity.

ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

If you had any doubt before about the necessity of public protest to oppose this lawless regime, I hope you now understand that if a US senator is not safe, none of us are safe--and we must join together in the millions in response to these criminals.
Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.
