Trump says Republicans should "probably not" increase taxes on the rich in their forthcoming tax bill.

Meanwhile, his tariffs will hit poor and working-class Americans the hardest.

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked:

-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

My Godfather the painter William Glen Crooks passed away today after a perhaps blessedly brief fight with Alzheimer's. He was a second father to me, and gave me my love of art, writing, music, philosophy and physics.

Good night 😴

War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

Newark mayor Ras Baraka was just arrested by DHS after visiting an immigrant detention center called Delaney Hall which opened illegally without permits from the city he runs. This is fascism in action.

Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

Clown-ass government.
1/ The US government has ordered the Swedish city of Stockholm to end its diversity, inclusivity and equality (DEI) programmes within 10 days. The city authorities say the demand is "bizarre" and they won't be complying. ⬇️

"What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?"

Wages. They're trying to use it to solve having to pay wages.

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷‍♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
The people refusing to use AI
Worried about the environment and the loss of skills, some people are resisting the rise of AI.

No one has been returned from CECOT even as we learn more and more about the arbitrary and illegal nature of this operation.

The Republicans continue to stonewall the courts.

Don’t let this story slip from view.

The difference between one of the happiest societies, Norway and America is that in Norway they spend $300 million helping the homeless dude on the sidewalk, while in America they spend $300 million rebuilding Alcatraz.
