At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

Meet Florence. After getting off work, she didn’t go home and call it a day. She got behind the wheel of her church bus and helped make sure voters could get to the polls. This is what democracy looks like. Neighbors helping neighbors. People showing up for their community.

He was also on Lindsey Graham's Presidential bid finance committee. The SCDP needs to stop shoving Billy Webster down our throats. They tried to pressure Dr. Johnson to drop out and now the coordinated campaign to promote Webster. This kinda shit is why so many don't trust them either.

Fuck me, this is Bill Pulte. The guy who was using mortgage data to launch DOJ investigations against Lisa Cook, Letitia James and Adam Schiff. He is being put in charge of national intelligence because of his track record of being willing to manufacture false allegations to target Trump's enemies.

Pretty much every regulation was created because something really bad happened and someone got hurt or killed. Deregulation advantages billionaires and huge corporations, and almost always hurts real Americans.

In February, Trump purchased over $1 million in Dell stock. Just weeks ago, Trump told everyone to “go out and buy a Dell.” Its stock price is up over 60% since then. Now, Dell has been awarded a $9.7 BILLION Pentagon contract. See the problem here?

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 197 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

#SOUTHCAROLINA! Early voting begins on Tuesday at 8:30! You MUST MUST MUST get to the polls first thing and vote. Our democracy is on the line. The more people that vote before the Senate goes back into session at 11:00, the harder it will be for them to gerrymander us. VOTE EARLY !

I am forever grateful to Dirty Dancing for teaching me at a young age that men who suggest Ayn Rand are awful.

Every day there's somebody else in the news who evidently needs to be told that Ayn Rand was a borderline psychopath, and that's probably what drew them to her writing

There's so much projection in MAGAland -- complaining that Democrats did something, then doing it themselves a hundred times over -- it can get a little numbing. But their complaints about family members profiting off the presidency might be their biggest bit of projection ever. It's a crime spree.

Eric Trump joining Donald Trump on an official state visit to China is much more corrupt than anything involving Joe and Hunter Biden, yet New York Times coverage indicates the opposite. I show the contrast here, and challenge anyone to explain how it isn’t media bias in Trump’s favor.
