look we are too corrupt and ignorant to regulate so it's up to a collection of foppish, pasty sociopaths in overpriced sneakers to hold themselves accountable for killing everyone with monopolized cloud computing

Rick Scott: "With regard to destroying mankind, these companies need to do the right thing on their own. We're not going to get smart enough to regulate them. We're not going to get something done up here."

So, let's talk about Lindsey Graham's now open senate seat. South Carolina has elected only 2 men to this U.S. Senate seat since 1954. Over 70 years. Let that sink in for a minute. Before... Disneyland (1955) The Interstate Highway System (1956) The Beatles (1960) Barbie (1959) ZIP codes (1963)

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Twelve years stolen from Medicare’s future. Money collected from workers, promised to the elderly. Reassigned to those who already have too much. trump's wealthy donor tax cuts are literally killing us. The hunger at the top is never satisfied, it only asks who will be trimmed next.

fortune.comIn less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A | FortuneThe CBO estimates that benefit reductions would start at 8% in 2040 and steadily climb to a 10% cut by 2056.

RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

Nancy Pelosi warns press freedom is under attack after the arrest of an independent journalist, and on the same day the Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, conducted mass layoffs of its reporters and editors worldwide. “America is in a crisis of conscience.” @pelosi.house.gov

This whooooole thing is the ‘71 Stanford Prison Experiment writ large. Previously friends & colleagues, students were divided up into prisoners & guards. In an all-too-brief timespan, the guards, left to their own decives, started abusing their power & unjustly punishing prisoners. 1/2

One of the things I’m really struggling with about what’s going on in Minnesota is that if you describe what’s going on in plain, factual ways to someone who’s not paying close attention you sound completely, bugfuck crazy

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

ICE has killed a woman in Minneapolis. #GetOutICE Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey disputed ICE’s assertion that an agent acted in self-defense in shooting and killing a woman. Frey said he’d seen video and said ICE was “already trying to spin this as an act of self-defense. That is bullshit.”

MPR News@mprnews.org

Federal authorities say an ICE agent, “fearing for his his life” killed a protester during a confrontation Wednesday in south Minneapolis. A presence of federal law enforcement has sparked protesting near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

The United States should not be a “predator force.” We are not brute animals scrabbling in the dirt for sustenance, we are human beings who can stand side by side with friends and allies.

Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Trump: "All the way back it dated to the Monroe Doctrines. And the Monroe Doctrine is a big deal. But we've superseded it by a lot. By a real lot. They now call it the Donroe Document. I don't know. It's Monroe Doctrine. We sort of forgot about it."

This is fucking insane. Trump took over another country for oil when he can’t even run the US.

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

He’s going to start a war to prevent the release of the Epstein files, isn’t he.

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

It is driving me crazy that I’m not seeing widespread coverage of these statements by the President. This is a big deal! If a news organization isn’t putting this in front of their readers/viewers, they are failing at their job to inform the public.

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally." The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"
