Gov using surveillance against specific groups.

Fine, until it is your group.

And it will be, eventually…if left unchecked.
When Evanston found out that Flock was breaking the terms of the contract, & was sharing data with other departments, that then shared the data with ICE, Evanston immediately put covers over the cameras & left them covered while they cancelled the contract & they were removed
Atlanta is assisting ICE and other federal law enforcement in abductions by giving them access to the city’s Flock traffic cameras.

I am having trouble understanding the health care end game for R’s.

They have no viable plan. Only revocation.

That alone should seal a Dem sweep in 2026.

They’ve been trying to blow up the ACA for over a decade, yet they don’t have viable plan to replace it.

They don’t have anything to make it better because they don’t want to make it better.

What they want is the ACA gone and everyone at the mercy of private insurance again.

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

It seems like so many people on the right should be aligned with so many people on the left over the doomsday existential threat of AI and robotics in the hands of a handful of greedy oligarchs. But they have succeeded in pitting us against each other with culture war drivel.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

Very effective graphic. Unpleasant message delivered strikingly well.
This is the sound of candidates losing the struggle against the crushing weight of partisan gravity.

This is nationalization and polarization and presidentialization swallowing everything else.

This is the dangerous collapse of dimensionality, in one chart

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Trump is sending ARGENTINA $20B and increasing their beef imports while STARVING AMERICAN FAMIILIES.

There's funding available to help keep food benefits, but Trump just doesn’t want to provide it.

What'll it take for him to start leading the country he actually lives in?
