"Leftists are the real fascists!"
4 frame comics. a man with a red cap says to Stephie : nazis were obviously left-wing. it's in the name: national socialism. leftists were always the real fascists. stephie replies : the party's name was specifically chosen in 1920 to lure people away from socialism by using its rhetoric and to channel people's economic distress into a racialist, antisemitic, anti-democratic vision of the state that upheld the capitalist status quo.* source : *r.j. evans: the coming of the third reich, 2005 the third frame shows a nazi parade. text reads : after taking control of the party in 1921, hitler spent a whole decade purging the party of its left-leaning figures. one of the first things he did after taking power was to send left-wing politicians and union leaders into concentra- tion camps or murder them.* source : *holocaust encyclopedia : "nazi terror begins" in the last frame, stephie leans towards the man and says : hitler was a white nationalist famously opposed to socialists. the fact that the word "socialism" was in his party's name isn't any weirder than "republicans" supporting a president who rules like a king.

For-profit utility company We Energies has a built-in incentive to build, build, build. Their investors are offered a 9.8% ROE for new power infrastructure in 2025/26. Wouldn't you know it, WE Energies just applied for $5.5 billion in new energy spending, enough to power over $2 million homes.

Oh and by the way, we've had roughly 2M federal employees since the 1940s though our population has more than doubled.
adambonica.bsky.social Adam Bonica @adambonica.bsky.social · 2d
Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.
Table showing the five richest men in the U.S from Bloombergs billionaire list ., all in technology. Elon Musk tops the list with a net worth of $461B and a year-to-date gain of $28.2B. Larry Ellison is second at $300B with a $107B YTD gain. Jeff Bezos has $268B (+$29.5B YTD), Larry Page $250B (+$81.9B YTD), and Sergey Brin $234B (+$75.5B YTD). Each row also lists last-day change, country (all United States), and industry (all Technology).

Hubris
4 frame comic. the first frame shows a tangram swan. text reads : they call it "aI", but large language models (llm) such as chatbots are far from intelligent: they are pattern- recognition machines that churn out whatever might sound like a reply to the thing you last said. 2nd frame shows inside a data center. text reads : that distinction matters, because the technology for actual aI simply doesn't exist. the only way for llm to get better is to feed it more data, transiting in bigger polluting data centers, scavenged always deeper into our devices. 3rd frame shows a child blowing bubbles. text reads : but once the whole internet has been fed to their llm, how can these companies promise neverending growth to their shareholders? that's what makes "AI" a bubble, kept afloat by circular investments and hype. 4th frame shows a chatbot logo. text reads : llms need us to keep interacting and coming back in order to grow. they are sycophantic by design. they amplify delusions and will never disagree with you or challenge your worldview. it's ripping apart communities for a few billionaires' hubris.

PANIC SETS IN

Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Todd Blanche, and others, plan on holding an EMERGENCY MEETING today on the Epstein Files as the discharge vote nears.

Rep. Boebert will reportedly be there.

It appears there is an all hands on deck effort to try to prevent a vote on the Epstein Files. (CNN)

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

Look, I'm totally cool with being in an Anti-AI list cause fuck AI "art".

But how did I get on an Anti Chappell Roan list? I like her and it's definitely not her or any other pop star's fault.

Lastly, is the top one claiming that I'm a MAGAt? I'm deeply confused by that one.

What a coincidence!
4 frame comics, where we see scenes from the 1936 olympic games in Berlin : the Berlin stadium, 5 women holding hula hoops in the shape of the olympics logo, athletes doing an obstacle course. the last frame is the 2028 Los Angeles olympic logo. the text reads : the olympics have seen various forms of gender policing since the games of 1936 in nazi germany. it was introduced as a way to enforce the gender binary by disqualifying people with inter- sex characteristics or atypical gender expression. naked parades in front of a jury, gynecological inspections, chromosomal testing, certifica- tions that only richer countries could issue... these were all attempts at gender policing by the olympic committee between 1936 and 1996. one after the other, these practices were outlawed. they were all found to be flawed, misleading, humiliating, discrimi- natory, racist, misogynistic. since 2003, strict guidelines have allowed intersex and trans women to participate. despite 20 years of inclusion, there has only been one trans woman who competed, not winning any medal. yet, we just learned that the I.o.C. was looking into bringing back gender policing to ban intersex & trans athletes, in time for the nazi germany olympics of 2028. oops, I mean united states.

Jerusalem @JerusalemDemsas: The NYTimes report on the US government sending people to be tortured, raped, and driven to the brink of suicide is an administration-defining document. Our government sent a 26 year old Milwaukee Uber Eats driver to a torture prison. Luis Chacón, 26, from the Venezuelan state of Táchira, was one of several men who said the constant abuse at the prison led him to contemplate suicide. A father of three, he said he had been working as a driver for Uber Eats in Milwaukee before being detained and expelled to the prison. His low point there came in June, he said, on the day of his oldest child's seventh birthday. "We had heard that if there was a person who died among us that they would let us all go," he said. He thought maybe he should be that person: He climbed on a bunk bed, he said, and tried to hang himself with a sheet. The other men, he said, pulled him down. THE RESISTANCE

It is great that the US Supreme Court has rejected the case to overturn same sex marriage. Now, if they'd overturn the ruling that says disabled people on benefits can't get married. Thanks so much.

While I'm super relieved that the Supreme Court has rejected yet another assault on same-sex marriage, this is a reminder that marriage equality still does not exist in the U.S.

People with disabilities shouldn't have to choose between love and essential benefits and resources.
