The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

It’s not suicide it is social murder. It is the result of policy that is explicitly designed to Inflict maximum pain & make a class of people feel as life isn’t worth living.

“A Haitian immigrant who had grown increasingly distraught after losing his protection from deportation and being outfitted with an ankle monitor was run over and killed Monday in what his family believes was a suicide.” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

El-Sayed was right, in those deleted tweets. But despite his hopes, America didn’t mobilize for public health at a level comparable to the War on Terror. In fact, America didn’t even install air purifiers in schools.

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 2d ago

CBS News has posted a breathless story about how two El-Sayed tweets they just discovered "invite scrutiny" ... ...And then you read the tweets and uh, they don't seem that out of line, especially for someone who has a medical degree. www.cbsnews.com/news/abdul-e...

Meanwhile, El-Sayed's past references to the deadly attacks have continued to surface, including two deleted social media posts verified by CBS News that have not been previously reported. In those posts, he calls for the American public to muster the same outrage for the COVID-19 death toll that they displayed after 9/11. In one, from April 2020, El-Sayed compared the nearly 3,000 Americans killed on Sept. 11 to the mounting COVID-19 death toll and argued for a response commensurate with the nation's post-9/11 mobilization. In another, El-Sayed wrote that because more Americans had died from COVID than in the Sept. 11 attacks, he hoped "that means we'll spend the next ten years fighting a war for public health & against poverty ... like we launched a global #Waron Terror after 9/11. We could save lives rather than take them."

Really not looking forward to this winter. Things will be bad. Stuck on a train going off a cliff because of the feckless, sociopathic incompetence 9f the Worst Generation You think the desperate pleas for help are painful enough now... well... That's only going to get worse

Is this really the society we want? “Grok! Clap back cleverly!” “ChatGPT, counter with an even wittier retort!” And not a single synapse was fired. Horrifying. If this was a psychological thriller Sandra Bullock would win an Oscar being driven slowly insane as the world’s last critical thinker.

Musk and Tommy Robinson incited terroristic attacks on immigrants in Belfast just two months ago. More two dozen ppl were driven from their homes. Musk is a dangerous racist. Reporting in the US that ignores this core aspect of his nature furthers racism. www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

Elon Musk's role was 'instrumental' in the Belfast riots, researchers say

The newly crowned world's first trillionaire is once again facing criticism over the violent narratives he amplified on his platform X.

Note on pieces like these, not only is there no suggestion that Republicans should distance themselves from him, there's no hint that there's a reason to. No recap of his CSAM machine. No inflammatory racist quotes. No mention of the DOGE death toll. No history of his fabulist quotes.

What's simultaneously funny and disturbing about this is that some guy made a computer program in 1967 that did this exact thing. It just repeated your words back to you as an open ended question. And people thought that seemed alive, too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

The way that AI does absolutely nothing but simply repeat back to you whatever you’ve said using a different order of words and expects us to believe that means the computer understood us makes me want to TEAR MY FUCKING HAIR OUT

I don't know about you, but it seems to me that the HHS wants to institutionalize autistic people and use their institutionalization as a massive money-making grift. iacc.hhs.gov/meetings/iac...

A highlighted section of a document: "tax-exempt bond financing: public-private partnerships; and braided Medicaid, housing, and philanthropic capital. Some housing-finance tools require congressional action or appropriations; the Plan states this plainly while directing HHS and partner agencies to use existing levers to create the evidence, guidance, and financing pathways needed for scale. The objective is not to fund isolated demonstration projects but to create a durable marketplace for high-quality residential options, and evaluation should test whether integrated models reduce long-term per-person cost growth through transportation savings, shared infrastructure, team-based staffing, fewer emergency interventions, better workforce retention, and more proactive healthcare."

‘The plan calls for government agencies to try out “supported-living models” such as “farmstead or campus-based communities”, which the groups fear could revive forms of institutional confinement.’ www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Everybody sees the racist white supremacist administration bringing in racist white supremacist refugees with the specific intent of reshaping the electorate to be more racist and white supremacist - but nobody says that explicitly. Its Great Replacement Theory as implemented and practiced by Nazis.

White South Africans who come to the United States as refugees could get up to $4,500 per person in initial federal support beginning Oct. 1, nearly double the current amount, four people familiar with the change in policy said www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
