BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Read that again.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.

Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.

Another reason for Medicare for All.

Enabled by UAE: “Between 30,000 and 100,000 people may have been killed in six weeks, with 60,000 as a plausible midpoint. That pace of killing would be unrivaled since the Rwanda genocide of 1994…the death toll in El Fasher in less than two months may be comparable to that in Gaza over two years.”

shit like this is the core of the damage the social internet has done to us

we have replaced actual expertise with "some dude with a podcast who makes you feel like his buddy while he bullshits into a microphone" and now a ton of people think that measles and chicken pox are the same
Yeah, this dum dum is talking about chicken pox.

Anyway, it's very cool and awesome that he has so much cultural and political influence.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

This deployment is wholly unneeded and paints the National Guard as the faces of facism even tho they signed up to help their communities during times of crisis.

Now they cant *have* a holiday, much less spend it with their families.

The document says, "Educators must learn how they can use AI to simplify their working lives."

Now you are demanding teachers use "A.i."

Educators don't need to use "A.i." Educators need to be paid more. Not to enrich corporations by using untested, dangerous "A.i." products.

Education Dept will garnish 15% of wages from people in default on student loans. Biden sought forgiveness, but SCOTUS blocked it. Tariffs and soaring insurance costs shrink paychecks. Meanwhile billionaires get tax cuts while the ACA subsidies are cut. That’s not policy—it’s punishment.
