I just want more sane people and less “we don’t need to feed them kids”. Formerly @crashtestmeg on the bird site.

A one-year-old girl watched masked ICE agents beat her father on the roadside in Donna, Texas. He is a U.S. citizen, and his wife had already told the agents that they were Americans. The agents continued the assault as his wife watched helplessly. Repost this everywhere!

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

So AI consistently does bad things to try to prevent its own shutdown. Including lying, manipulation, and THREATENING TO EXPOSE AN ENGINEER’S AFFAIR. Great. I have seen this in movies, full speed ahead!

awaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.

I watched NAZA, a documentary where Israeli military insiders admit to using surveillance and AI to target Palestinians, knowing entire families would be killed. I want the people behind these systems to answer for every family they helped destroy. #NAZA

This photo says everything about why Trump keeps hiring unqualified worshipful young women (who look like his daughter)

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I don’t want that Shane Gillis monologue “joke” to bother me. It was lazy and sexist and unoriginal. But it’s that everyone at SNL saw it and was like “yes, send it”. In the current climate. It feels like no one gives a fuck about us.

Last night I dreamed I was having a tarot card reading. The guy lays them out, looks at them and says: “The cards say you’ve let yourself go”. …….

I might be a little less distrustful of AI if the dudes promoting it, supporting it, insisting on it, and advocating for it weren’t the worst fucking people on the planet.

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

“If you’re evil you’re actually kind of good. Because you’re at least getting something done.”🤔 Y’all aren’t alarmed enough about what MAGA tech billionaire (Trump donor, J.D. Vance’s pimp, Epstein’s buddy) Peter Thiel is doing to our country.

Hey Congress, how much more are you going to let him destroy our country before you do your fucking job?

Took my kid for their annual last year. Nurse very nervously states the recommended vaccines. I say of course. She said “ok, we are pro people like you”. Likewise.

So we’re funding a guy who threatens us?

🚨 BREAKING: Netanyahu states: "Were it not for the Jews, there would be nothing called the United States of America. We brought you into this world, and we can take you out" What purpose is this statement even serving?

Macklemore: Palestinian children are people. Robert Kraft *actively getting a handjob from a strip mall prostitute he refuses to tip*: We must ban this hate speech from every stadium in America. Let me call up my friends, the Epstein client list. Ed Sheeran: Good point, sir. Both sides, sir.

Imagine having grifted millions and millions of dollars off your father’s political career like Don Jr, including government contracts in multiple businesses where you have an ownership stake, and STILL having a Russian oligarch pay for your lavish wedding. Just obscene.

Trump can't run for president again, so why in the name of God does he have a political slush fund of $850M and growing -- that's he's still hoarding even as the GOP is poised to lose control of Congress? Does he have a scheme to take it with him? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

This is a tax guy. His advice could be the difference between someone having their assets seized & maybe going to jail, or not. Now imagine having to worry about racist shit in every interaction you have with any person in authority. Every doctor & nurse, every cop, every lawyer & judge, every boss

A HMRC official was sacked because he was caught on camera saying he gives wrong information to black and brown people when they call for advice in a bid to sabotage them. He was a member of the far right group Patriotic Alternative. How many more?

Powerful message: "You do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate," he said. "I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them."
