Serf in USA

He stood on stage in Dallas last night and offered every adult American a $5K check in exchange for handing him the House and Senate in November. Federal law, 18 U.S.C. 597, makes it a crime to offer payment to influence a vote. More clips www.tiktok.com/@mitch_jackson

Did you ever think you could go up to a food truck to order how you should vote on this November's ballot initiatives? Now you can!

Artificial superintelligence would risk the security, freedom, and lives of Americans. Bernie Sanders and I are introducing a bill to ban it.

Democratic socialists can make headway with capitalists by appealing to their love of markets. We can love commerce in markets as much as them!

Why should employee ownership happen only when the owner voluntarily sells the company? Why shouldn’t ownership become progressively broader as companies grow?

Socialized medicine

The President bungled this war in Iran right from the beginning. Six months later, he's stuck, families are suffering, and 18 Americans are dead. November is our chance to send a message to him, and everyone around him, that they're doing a horrible job.

The USA are now 97% to advance to the Round of 32. 59% to win the group. World Cup forecasts over at The Athletic all tournament long.

Our utopia was easily possible. A few decisions took us in another direction. We still feel the vibrancy of that life humming from another plane of existence.

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

The Tennessee legislature just passed new congressional maps that will likely eliminate the one Black seat in the state. It’s enraging. But to quote Rep. Pearson, "We’ve got to do something.“ Sign up to be a poll worker at Powerthepolls.org. Don’t let Jim Crow win.

The purported suicide note from Jeffrey Epstein sounds an awful lot like someone we know…if Trump dictated a fake one you have to admit it would sound JUST LIKE THIS.

The Empire doesn't need to strike back

Israel's leaders and military condemn an Israeli soldier pictured damaging a statue of Jesus Christ.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

This is either brilliant or scary: Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA. BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!

The bravest girl at the Vet!😍

I’m 82 and have voted in every election local and national since I became eligible. I cannot believe the SAVE Act would penalize me because I kept my married name when I divorced. This administration cannot defeat us. As Rebecca Solnit said recently, “No fucking surrender.”

Tax the rich. 💰💰💰💰

This week Trump is going to try to ram through the Senate his bill to take over state elections so he can rig the vote in his favor. As he becomes historically unpopular, he’s getting desperate. We cannot let this bill pass.

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”

“ChatGPT had convinced him that all of this was so obviously true... I felt like I was talking to a cult member.” With more and more people relying on chatbots, @samleecole.bsky.social asks experts how we can help someone experiencing "AI psychosis." Read now: www.404media.co/ai-psychosis...

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Orion nuclear pulse drives are powerful *despite* their design. The energy efficiency of the 10m diameter USAF design was just 0.78%, as the 1 kT pulse yield converted into 2 MN thrust at 3350s Isp. www.projectrho.com/public_html/... Animation @brianmcmanus.bsky.social: youtu.be/EVwlTsa9oMM

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

@drewbahr.cryptoanarchy.network You good brother? How are you talking it?

Can Democrat Texans ignore the outside influences and advocate for ourselves? #JamesTalarico #JasmineCrockett

Congress has a chance to make generational change by passing the Restore Trust in Government Act. It’s time to put an end to rampant self-enrichment in Washington by preventing lawmakers, the vice president, and the president from trading stocks.

Republicans flipped this seat red by fewer than 2,500 votes in 2024! @mannyrutinel.bsky.social is running to flip it back! — Colorado 8th

Government Overreach Anyone???

I for one am always excited for new Star Wars. Sorry if you’re not.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
