While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.
oh my god -- Sean Duffy on Fox & Friends this morning announced that he spent parts of *7 MONTHS* (more than half a year!) on a roadtrip with his family to celebrate America's 250th anniversary

Most industries develop a new product in response to some perceived need or as an improvement on some existing product. If the product is good, consumers adopt it. The AI industry is forcing a product on the consumers, whether or not they want it. An incomplete, unfinished product at that.

As a career national security professional it pains me to say that I don’t trust the current leaders in FBI/NSA/CIA to do the right thing with the broad surveillance authorities and I’m OK with shutting them down…we will lose an edge but the cost to our citizens’ rights is too high with this govt…

Read this, People.
I wrote a letter to the IRS along with a check drafted for 3/5 of my fed taxes. It explains that I can’t be complicit in the crimes of this amuck regime. I paid 3/5 in hope that that money will go to key social programs. Of course, I know giving anything makes me complicit & must live this shame.
“Bring X to its knees” isn’t the style of commentary I have come to appreciate S&S for. What kind of headline is this? What happened to just the facts?
ANALYSIS | The last-ditch U.S. effort to bring Iran to its knees through a naval blockade in the Persian Gulf is a gamble that will take tremendous resources and come with serious risks. Will it pay off?
Good advice.
PSA It’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to be angry, unfocused, traumatized. It means you still have a shred of empathy left Do not try to weather this alone. Reach out to friends and allies. Many of us are feeling the same things. Support each other. Remind each other of the good still in this world 💚

“We need to imagine a more democratic, more egalitarian, more generous country, one that operates in recognition of an abundance of wealth that should serve all of us – and nature and future generations too – rather than is driven by the moral poverty of billionaires.” -R. Solnit

Yeah, not a SINGLE mansion or castle still occupied in New York: I guess all those Republican cultists were right. Gosh, did you see the long line of moving trucks leaving NTC? (DO the ultra-wealthy even use trucks? Maybe helicopters...or maybe just armies of "poors" like litter-bearers, but then
