The polarization isn't coming from social media. The polarization is coming from the fact that half of the politicians and 36% of the voters openly support ethnic cleansing policies, and 64% of the voters do not support ethnic cleansing. Normal people don't want to be civil with ethnic cleansers.

Vivek Ramaswamy tells a crowd of young Libertarians in Ohio "The truth of the matter is, people in my generation have already made it. We're gonna be fine." He is then booed off of the stage

To me cutting USAID is like, you put a quarter into a slot every day to keep millions of people alive. You don’t have to do it but it causes you no hardship. Then one day the job falls to people who are overtly white supremacist and they decide to stop doing it. It is most obviously murder

Gross to see a senator skip over the part where the aid was cut off illegally and without warning. Cooking their brains on a right wing owned social media site.

NEW: A large trove of Claude-generated documents have been exposed to the web and indexed by Google. We reviewed what appear to be real medical records, the full names and phone numbers of school-aged children, and company documents marked for internal use only. futurism.com/artificial-i...

A Whole Bunch of People's Claude Chats Are Publicly Accessible Online, and There's Some Wildly Private Stuff in There

A trove of documents generated by Anthropic's Claude were indexed by Google. They included medical records and student information.

A lot of what's written in this article is true, with Trump giving or withholding federal funds depending on whether the recipient state voted for him or for Harris. But that is absolutely not why the Democratic National Committee is broke. It's broke because voters won't donate to non-fighters.🤷🏿‍♂️

From FEMA relief to clean energy funding, government resources are becoming political weapons, creating the kind of regional resentment that has shattered nations before… hartmannreport.com/p/how-trump-...

Trump thinks he's winning because he uses US offensive missiles to strike Iranian drone sites, and defensive missiles to protect against drone strikes. Iran thinks it's winning because the US spends billions on missiles to fight millions in drones. Their strategy is to deplete the US. It's working.

WELKER: Trump said the conflict would last weeks. We're now at the 5 month mark. Will this war be over by the new year? MIKE WALTZ: This was has been going on for 47 years (Not a yes!)

If you think photographing birds in flight is difficult, you want to try moths!😅 This is a wonderful Hummingbird Hawkmoth, photographed yesterday from my bedroom window, just as it banked around to change direction!😀😍 Just look at that proboscis 🦋 (The moth looks a bit like a fish doesn't it!)😁

:;sigh:: Tolkien actually describes hobbits as brown skinned, never describes dwarves skin color at all because he was too busy identifying them via hat, and "fair" the way he used it meant pretty. Yeah, some individuals are described as white skin but lots aren't at all. Also, it's 2026 & made up.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Bit of background, this is the result of reinterpreting the legal definitely of "harm" in the Endangered Species Act to exclude habitat modification (destruction). By this logic, if someone sets your house on fire, they have not harmed you.

“The Trump admin now allows endangered animal habitats to be used for drilling, farming, mining, and real estate development. Under a new Interior Department rule, eliminating endangered species habitats is no longer illegal.” FUCK Americans. FUCK America.

“Black lawmakers and activists across the Deep South argue they have been abandoned by the Democratic Party to fight an existential crisis on their own. They say they’ve been let down by nearly all corners of the party.” Essential read:

Southern Black leaders warn their power is on the line — and Democrats are looking elsewhere

Black lawmakers and activists in the Deep South say they are fighting an existential crisis on their own in the wake of a major Supreme Court ruling.
