In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

The vampire has been about many things in many cultures, anxieties about infection/blood, sex, death, and the power of women’s bodies (the yakshi in Kerala, for eg), but in modern societies there is truly no more vampiric an entity than the billionaire seeking power, longevity and even more wealth
You can understand how people in different cultures independently came up with the idea of vampires, of things that look like humans but exist only to consume humans in order to extend their unnatural lives.

Once again I beg of people to pause and look around and realize that it's basically only because of the lawyers and the law that Trump has faced any meaningful opposition to his agenda.
Obviously "the law will not save us" but actually thanks to lawyers a TON of damage has been prevented.

It's about damn time that health care became a primary issue.
For a decade, Trump has failed to even develop a plan.
Many, many Americans have frustrating experiences with the system. Even if they can afford medical care, they're often confounded by the bills.
Democrats, push this issue hard!

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

Trump has increasingly usurped the power of Congress. If there were ever a time for the legislative branch to stand up for itself, now would be the time.
Congress needs to step up and do its job. Kudos to Bernie.

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran.
Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…
This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?
