look you can question her ethics and her taste in men, but you can’t question her prose stylings
It needs to be emphasized that this paragraph is about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

What last night proves, above all else, is that centrist Democrats like Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, and AOC can work together with moderate Republicans like Abigail Spanberger and Gavin Newsom to push back on MAGA fascism.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this
I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Perfect example of how the Neocons paved the way for Trump.

The uniting theme of the supposed age of AI and the M&A/private equity apocalypse is that the world is controlled by people who literally cannot imagine ever deriving joy or meaning or satisfaction from any activity or pursuit for its own sake if it doesn't make money.
Its just a bunch of fascists who haven't sat through a movie since the 1980s fellating each other in a joint effort to Make Line Go Up -- like Jesus Christ get a hobby, leave us alone!!

this is true and fine but I am also a K-12 educator and I’ll say it’s okay to snub them too
You are not being snubbed, people find AI usage unethical and harmful.
I’m a historian and a K-12 educator and I use AI. My Bluesky is full of people I respect, all regularly posting about how they dislike AI and the people who use it. Many are in higher ed and/or the larger history field.

So - we’re just alienating K-12 teachers and others who are using AI tools now?

I would so easily settle for *smart* opportunism from the Dem establishment. This moment is there for the seizing! I don’t really care what you believe in your heart! Go out and do some popular shit!
Chris is a good example of how moderate/establishment Democrats who you probably disagree with on a bunch of stuff can actually very easily decide to be on the right side of history and not act like cowardly racist little bitches. A better world is extremely possible!
We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.

Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Everyone contributes to the movement in the ways they see fit. Some get teargassed and shot with rubber bullets by rampaging cops, others offer notes online re: how the people getting gassed/shot might seem less deserving of getting gassed/shot to the general public. It's a coalition.

interesting to note that 400 protesters have monopolized all of LASD’s enforcement power because they tried to help ICE arrest half a dozen guys working at a Home Depot

if you’re scoring on efficiency, the protesters are winning
It wasn't a warzone until cops armed for an invasion of Baghdad showed up
Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department are calling this a warzone. One side is in military gear, with rifles, throwing flash bangs and tear gas.

Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing
