Beef

Goodbye, Pocketnaro!!!!!!

Thinking of a drinking game for @hcrichardson.bsky.social politics chats. Drink every time she is reminded of the 1850s, 1890s, or the 1920s. But what drink should it be for each era?

AI hacked 70% of the internet, and Bernie aside, the crickets are chirping in Congress...

I look forward to seeing if any member of Congress other than Bernie even has a comment about Black October

I don't know how to clip video like Aaron Rupar, but someone punched a protester at Trump's rally tonight and Trump celebrated it at length

The GOP is happy keeping the nuclear access codes in this man's hands. Think about that as you prepare to vote.

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. Far too many people will just shrug this off or find some way to justify it. But Trump is unwell, incoherent, and a danger to us all.

Truth 👇

“Annihilating Iran”—which can only mean the widespread use of thermonuclear weapons against Iran’s nearly 100 million citizens—is, I’m afraid, the Chekov’s gun of Trump’s second term. He has spoken too often and too explicitly about unleashing such wanton destruction for it to be an idle threat.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

I am wondering about every single governor right now who isn't putting out an executive order for an unconditional moratorium on data centers in their state. Mike Johnson hasn't sent the governors home, what's their excuse?

Dario Amodei and Sam Altman agree that they should voluntarily work together to significantly slow down AI development, but they apparently don't agree enough to actually do it. We can assume they both just want to kill us all no matter how penitent and responsive to us they seem.

Yesterday, Trump felt the desire to destroy the world. Thankfully, luckily, inexplicably, he confined this desire to AI slop. We cannot wait for the November election to save us. We cannot assume there is a November. We need to massively resist, now.

It's been ~7 hours since Trump posted his AI image of him nuking the whole planet from orbit. Maybe I'll even wake up tomorrow. If so.. the next time Trump wants to blow up the planet, maybe he won't use AI. We've had a warning shot that the most head-in-sand person can't deny. What do we do??

So this is arguably the first time Trump has explicitly threatened to blow up the whole world, since the last time he posted something like this (late May), you could argue it was just directed at Iran to try to intimidate them to open up the Strait. This is it. So... now what do we do?

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Trump's Kharg Island AI slop-video was posted on behalf of Republican Senators Republican Representatives His Cabinet, Appointees, Aides Republican State Officials Local Republican Officials All Republican Midterm Candidates Aligned Media all of them, working together, in lockstep — not just him

Ken Paxton is saying Texans need to take a deeper look at the background of the candidates, which is why he's encouraging everyone to Google "Ken Paxton indictments" and "Ken Paxton divorce" and "Ken Paxton pedophile" to see that he has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of

Create the a new federal crime of Grand Corruption, applicable only to executive branch officials at the cabinet level and above, requiring corruption or fraud that substantially compromises the constitutional system or core interests of the US, and is a capital offense.

I'm sorry but it's clearly newsworthy that the President's decisions are being unduly influenced by a mentally unstable obsessive no one voted for who has attached themselves to him in an effort to live out weird fantasies they've had for decades. Something has to be done about Stephen Miller.

I'm thinking we should boycott GenAI companies until we have some AI regulations. This is getting ridiculous. I've never done a boycott before, how do I do this right?

I know I am, compared to this.

I'm down, believe me! But. "no!" Great! Well, it hasn't ended. My local indivisible group is terrible. I've already written my senators and house rep. Now what?

You fuckers out there who just couldn’t suck it up for one term and vote for Kamala; was it worth all of this?

Don't blame me for a whole civilization dying tonight. I voted for Kamala Harris.
