I'm half-arab, half-Kentuckian so I love a good political discussion and a home cooked southern meal.

It’s almost as if the AI models were trained to do so 🤔

“Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp states ‘AI will undermine the influence of highly educated, often female voters and give it to working class men. We have feminine energy running our cities and our courts,’ he complained.”

Given the news that Meta throttled Lula in Brazil and stories like this one below every Dem state legislature should open an investigation into whether the platforms have attempted to influence elections in their states.

Remember when people fear-mongered about the death panels that would result due to the ACA? Well, we are now experiencing the death panels in real-time as determined by the billionaire class. This is just one example.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

The notion that we fight fascism by pretending it's not occurring has brought us here to a place where Nazi cheerleaders have taken over our government, occupying our cities, abducting our neighbors & trafficking immigrant children.

Just today: - The Trump admin announced the first public execution since 1936. - Trump tried to incite a race war against Somalis. - Trump said anyone using the phrase AI is "THE ENEMY" - The NYT reported on a potential ICE plan to deport migrants on military boats and ferries.

Trump has already done this exact same "Trump accounts" Oval Office event with the exact same people once before, not long ago. Why are we doing it again?

“Immigration violation” is a civil offense not a criminal one and no one should be abducted by “the state” in 2026 without a warrant and certainly not by ICE brown shirts!

ICE just kidnapped a woman at LAX airport Saturday Oct 3, 12:50AM. A community member was able to record when several ICE goons who refused to identify themselves grabbed the woman, put her into a van and then drove off.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Americans have never felt worse as they’re getting squeezed at the gas pump and grocery store. Donald Trump and the Republicans own this.

The University of Michigan’s monthly consumer sentiment survey shows that Americans today feel worse about the economy than they did during either the Covid-19 pandemic or the 2008 financial crisis.

Again, China’s state media will be allowed to go where our Press is not. Trump is a traitor to the core.

BREAKING on MS NOW: MS NOW and CNN journalists have just been denied access to covering Xi Jinping's arrival back at the White House for tonight's state dinner.

Reporters stood at the White House gate this morning holding a federal judge’s order that said let them in, & were turned anyway. No explanation. No comment. Just a president ignoring a court like it’s beneath him. This is an unprecedented, fascist assault on free speech. Free the press!

I don’t understand the hand-wringing reaction to claims that nueral networks have a 10% chance of destroying civilisation. Fossil fuel companies have a 100% chance of initiating a mass extinction event. Maybe we could address that?

Criticizing Netanyahu doesn’t make you antisemitic. Criticizing Hamas doesn’t make you anti-Palestinian. Criticizing Trump doesn’t make you Un-American. Period.

An ICE whistleblower says the agency is bypassing the standard vetting process for new hires, posing “grave national security risks.” This is what Trump and Republicans are spending $200B+ on: putting unvetted, violent masked thugs on the streets with carte blanche to round up anyone they want.

nytimes.comICE Skipped Basic Checks in Rush for Recruits, Whistle-Blower SaysAn official who oversaw the vetting of ICE recruits cited an “unprecedented lowering of standards” amid a hiring surge.

REP. @AOC: “We the people demand full protected & restored voting rights… guaranteed healthcare for every American as a right and not a privilege… one job with no need for overtime should be enough for our most basic needs…”

This is what I f*ing hate about “news” in 2026. “2 people died who were unvaccinated”… were they children? Did they have compromised immune systems or another reason they couldn’t get vaccinated? Or were they not vaccinated as children and didn’t know better as dumb adults? Wft @abcnews!

Two people have died in Pennsylvania from measles, the state health department said. Both were unvaccinated. These the first deaths related to measles within the state in 35 years, it reports

When did it become normalized for the President of the United States to threaten to "bomb the shit out of" our allies—our *allies*—without that immediately leading to a serious conversation about whether he's mentally fit to serve as president
