The rest of the world watched in shock and disbelief... Now we just shake our heads. Like a battered spouse that just refuses to leave their spouse, all the world can do is watch while trump beats you to death.

These businesses aren't just wasting billions - they're replacing skilled workers with defective chatbots. As I've written before, AI is the asbestos we're shoveling into the walls of our technological society. 79/

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

sometimes people ask me what I want from the media that they're not already doing and "defend Americans' rights to democracy, freedom, civil rights etc the same way they defend Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state" would be basically what I'd ask for.

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

This is exactly why the public needs to be aware of manipulation tactics & resist the Trump administration! Most importantly, my heart is with the victims and survivors. We need to keep educating ourselves about this so we can protect people from those who seek to exploit them 📹 @cheyenne.l.hunt

Because the people who have that power are trading the world markets in their personal accounts and making money.

Trump's DOJ is arguing that Elon Musk’s xAI has the right to run dozens of polluting gas-burning turbines in Mississippi despite not having permits. The reason? National security. The military is reportedly using a version of Grok to attack Iran. See what $300M in election spending gets you?

In paragraphs 1-19 of today’s story on Trump’s Jesuspalooza, evangelical zealots are repeatedly quoted stating that separation of church and state has no historical basis. The only actual historian consulted isn't quoted until paragraph 20. For a busy NYT reader, it's hard to know who to believe.

At this point Trump is just the glowing lure we all react to every time he trolls. He’s a dumb, declining, irrational, dangerous, monosyllabic moron we can’t take our eyes off of. And we’ve ignored the machine that’s behind him at our peril.

Once again—New Mexico is leading the way by protecting free and fair elections! NM becomes the first state in the nation to ban armed federal agents at the ballot box. This is how you do it! 🗳️🇺🇸💪
