The right wing oligarch fascists have created an addendum to the constitution: “the right to compute”. In the birthing chamber alongside them, fathered by the FBI, is a new classification of terrorist: the “violent anti-tech activist”. Ws this done on their own initiative, or at the behest of AI?

Silicon Valley is extremely late to the unionization game, but as a former programmer at Adobe and H-P, twice outsourced to India, welcome my fellow travelers!

The Repugnlicans are a HUGE problem, but they are only a symptom of a far greater problem… When 65% of us are in favor of medicare for all, but neither party will consider bring it up for a vote, democracy was already in the distant past long before the arrival of the Orange Shitweasel.

The Supremes are now the supremely obscenes. No longer SCOTUS… SOCOTUS The Supremely Obscene Court of the United States

Remember when the wrong wingers in the media piled shit upon Biden for his orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan (ordered by Trump years before)? Will they do the same for Trump who has placed hundreds of thousands of American lives in danger in 14 countries with his ill-planned, fatally-flawed war?

The DNC refuses to release an internal report, its "post-mortem" for the 2024 election, that reveals that Kamala Harris lost the election in large part for refusing to condemn Israel for its Gaza genocide. In fact, the DNC knew it was likely before November, but decided to stay loyal to Israel.
