It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

OpenAI and Sam Altman can't keep your kid's chatbot from encouraging them into suicide, but apparently don't have as much of a problem keeping a chatbot from encouraging political assassination.
Almost as if genAI is an instrument of fascism and power.

honestly, RFK’s substance use might be the most normal thing about him
I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are

One thing the NYC mayoral race underscored for me is how easily the phrase "I don't feel safe" can be weaponized. It's an argument I would hesitate ever to use again, even for a good cause. I hope we can all agree that we have the right to BE safe. Maybe we should leave it at that.

There was a concerted effort to ensure no one was held accountable in any way for the Iraq War and torture. That’s the reason most young people don’t know who Cheney is.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Curious to see if this is indeed what happens...
Mark this down:
On Monday, Trump will announce that he "saved" the SNAP program and people will get their food stamps for November. Republicans will claim that Democrats wanted people to starve but Trump made sure it didn't happen. The media will go along with them.

Still remembering that time the NYPD were threatened with reforms so they initiated a work slowdown that resulted in less crime and then for some reason we didn’t learn from this?

90s kids remember the History Channel being called the "Hitler Channel" for all of it's pro-Allies programming. I thought that we were all agreed that Nazism was The Worst. Silly me.
My kid volunteers for an English as a second language program. Part of his job is locking the church doors, keeping an eye out for ICE agents, and alerting an adult if they storm the church.
Not exactly the life I thought he’d live.
