@hcrichardson.bsky.social I just saw the gov’t-financed propaganda/Trump campaign ad in the wild (DC football) for the 1st time & I’m more livid than I was when I 1st heard about this. I never want to hear the words guardrails & norms again. These fascists are breaking the law whenever they want.

“Largest theft of labor in human history.” What a quote.
Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

@lauralippman.bsky.social in case you don’t have the game on and are not at it … Eddie Murray hit his 500th homerun 30 years ago today. He was sitting in the seat it landed in during a celebration today. Didn’t see that but saw many other of his and Cal’s heroics.
The insanity is getting even more lethal. And disgusting.

This points out a vulnerability faced by hundreds of communities across the country. Rascists exploiting it as a deliberare strategy just underscores the need to create or shore up local news resources nationwide & to recognize they they are as vital to communities as water, power & healthcare. 1/2

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

This article comparing Peron is good but I wouldn’t call it Peronism; the guy is a criminal smashing and grabbing like a common street thug and “isms” are too good for him. www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...

Wow. Magistrate Judge Scott Varholak ordered a bond hearing w/this note: "If the Court is wrong, let another court declare that a noncitizen with no criminal history, no history of flight, & an adjudicated right to asylum may be detained indefinitely without running afoul of the Due Process Clause."

@radiofreetom.bsky.social For your Death of Expertise files. This idiot Pulte wasn’t even a competent nepo baby. Got fired from the family business. From a 2025 NYT story ….
@radiofreetom.bsky.social Soooo …I’m watching the episode of The Boys where Homelander is about to give his big speech & says beforehand he only wants real believers behind him. Are we sure Trump isn’t watching this? And taking notes?

Democrats take heed. The various ways Trump is crushing small businesses (tariffs, crackdowns on seasonal immigrant workers, increased health insurance costs etc.) has to be a campaign theme for candidates at every level. Our economic well-being is being throttled by stupid & extremist ideology.
