We don't just call it the plagiarism machine just because it's built on the stolen work of authors who weren't compensated. It vomits out plagiarism. It can't think. It can only regurgitate.

Again, there are obvious rhetorical and psychological tactics for the opposition to use, that most are not using. Dark Gavin being a notable exception, with taking Rump's post calling him President, at face value. That is the kind of response we need more of. It's a way to take the gloves off.

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

I can’t believe they canceled SCHOOL over this bs !! Overjoyed kids I’m sure, but stressed out parents having to explain it’s because the government is exterminating the local population, is just beyond everything

Just a reminder to my fellow Minnesotans living through this nightmare, Majority Whip, Tom Emmer, was all over MSM yesterday and today supporting the armed occupation of his own constituents and his state. This is not a man who deserves the Congressional seat he currently occupies. He needs to go.

You can be a completely apolitical hotel owner and you still don’t want this for your business. Hilton corporate capitulating was just massively dumb.

I’m outside of the Canopy by Hilton hotel, where protesters have gathered for a noise demonstration after learning DHS agents may be staying here.

The horrifying ICE actions in Minneapolis, Chicago, and my hometown of Portland are putting workplaces and working people in danger. They must stop. The labor movement will never be divided by this administration’s strategy of fear. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Don't let this administration fool you. The real reason behind this meddling in Venezuela is less about drugs than it is about dollars. Oil dollars.
