“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!”

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

He can’t. It requires the shameful complicity of hundreds of legislators who swore oaths on Bibles to country & Constitution & refuse to do their damn jobs

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the worst Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history & then it’s Saturday

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.

So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME.

I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.

People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

Almost no new jobs have been added since April and 710,000 more people are unemployed now compared to a year ago.

Meanwhile consumer prices are skyrocketing thanks to Trump's tariffs.

Does this sound like an "A+++++" economy to you?

How about a nice pointless tweet thread? OK.🧵

So, Trump said some ugly & horrible things about Rob Reiner on Truth Social. I have been watching with fascination as several Republican policymakers -- & even commenters on Truth Social! -- reacted with horror. It has brought to mind ...

We wanted to express our gratitude to the brave, patriotic people who are video-taping and posting the disgusting crimes that Trump’s masked goons commit every day on American streets.

History will not remember them kindly.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

So they *are* able to stop a ship in international waters and seize control of it without killing everyone on board?

Huh.
Trump: "It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news. As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. Largest one ever seized actually. And other things are happening."

Trump says reporting on his health is "seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean 'THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.' They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."

If you realize Trump is BOTH a narcissist AND a sociopath, you realize EVERY SINGLE THING HE SAYS AND DOES stems from it. The MSM has determined it's not their job to "get it." They say he's a child. Or has "strategy." Or is joking. Or just being Trump.
He has SEVERE BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS.
Say THAT!

Again: the Purpose of LLM- type "AI" bullshit engines is not to tell you the truth or to lie to you, but to tell you something you are statistically determined to be more likely to accept, irrespective of facts— which makes them perfect for accelerating dis- & misinformation & persuasive propaganda…
AI dialogues shifted political support by 2 to 3 points in trials, eclipsing standard ads. Roughly one-third of this effect persisted for a month. However, models optimized for persuasion proved more factually error-prone.

AI chatbots can persuade voters to change their minds
Conversations with AI can sway people’s political views. Concerningly, a chatbot’s facts are not always accurate, especially when it supports right-wing positions.
