that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world
Christian Nationalist Logic:
"We're gotta waste millions of dollars killing folks in a useless war because Jesus is powerless to just come back himself and start Armageddon if we don't. He needs our help, y'all! Glory!"
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"
America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
Just so we’re ALL clear: the President of the United States made death threats toward sitting Democratic members of Congress.
But they’re always claiming Democrats are the dangerous ones, right?

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
girls be like “I needed this” and it’s literally just the Epstein files and an Elizabeth Warren-type sixty-five point plan for how Democrats are going to make sure the 2026 elections are free and fair
The US is the sickest country in the world because of income inequality. Lack of healthcare. Food deserts and extreme poverty.
It’s not vaccines. It’s not going to be solved by gutting the CDC & pushing raw milk.
Give people healthcare, housing, food & a basic income.
It seems unlikely that the richest men in the world are so worried about footing the bill for decent regulation of the online space that they’ve signed up pliant politicians to invent a non-existent ‘free speech crisis’. Until you remember just how greedy you have to be to become that rich…
Google won’t be forced to sell its Chrome browser and can keep paying companies to keep its search engine as the default on smartphones, thanks to a federal ruling.
In other words? Google gets to remain a monopoly and keep its harmful, anti-competitive practices.
Shameful.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
Retailers warned that raising wages would "force" them to raise prices and to use automated checkout. Fed min wage remained flat, but they raised prices & used automated checkout anyway. Result: Workers got even poorer as customer service plummeted while prices & profits soared.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
So I woke up this morning thinking about how utterly bizarre it is that at this moment there are tens of thousands of people literally sticking their heads in the sand at Black Rock City rather than using that time and energy to protest injustice, protect and defend our fragile democracy.

I believe there are many paths to approach the truths of life.
Everyone has the freedom to explore (and fail sometimes)
God wouldn’t like human arrogance: “Where I live, only MY WAY should be dominant!” bsky.app/profile/soux...
Rangappa: Do you believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty?
Ferguson: Yes
Rangappa: She denied her guilt the interview.
Ferguson: Most criminals lie, newsflash. That's, like, not shocking.
Rangappa: Then why on Earth would you believe anything she said?
Stupid, Ignorant, Uninformed, And Corrupt….
Trump: "We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting." He's right – except for the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Canada, India, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Russia, and 22 other countries.
I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.
90 years after Social Security was signed into law, Trump and MAGA Republicans think “America First” means coming for the benefits our seniors earned.

Koh: If he were serious about cutting crime he wouldn't be proposing cutting $400 million from the ATF or cutting $500 million from the FBI, 700 agents or the DEA with with drug enforcement or the office of violence against women, 100 million from there

Keir Starmer government arrested elderly protesters, a blind man using a wheelchair, & others – all in the name of providing diplomatic cover for a genocidal regime, writes @graceblakeley.substack.com for Zeteo.
just a reminder that not even two months ago there was an ACTUAL ASSASSIN WHO MURDERED ONE OF OUR LEGISLATORS AND HER HUSBAND on the loose in Minneapolis for hours with exactly zero (0) federal response tralalalalalalala
Corporate America rn
Oh no!
Customers are unhappy with our product/service
Fixing it would be inconvenient for our shareholders
How to solve it?
Blame low level employees
Cut workforce
Implement AI
Pay remaining overworked employees subsistence wage
Lobby congress to lower taxes
Problem solved
As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.
