Protest in Wesley Chapel, Florida

Does the intelligence community warn of imminent threats? After speaking with my students, I’ve decided to offer clarification of the threat warming process.

Re Mark Kelly, I’m watching A Few Good Men and it got me wondering, what IS the penalty for a bringing false accusation against a senior officer?

Socialism is not Communism. Democratic socialism is not “pure” socialism. Crack a book, or stop supporting lies for your agenda, whatever that is.

This is what I see from my students. ChatGPT can help research, it is not research.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other. Shared by @gizmodo.com: buff.ly/yAAHtHq

I worked for the CIA. Counterterrorism. I disobeyed illegal orders. Anyone else?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

That’s nice re Democratic strategy Lawrence O’Donnell, but meanwhile I will not have health insurance next year.

Hegseth’s speech today is one more indication they plan to invade other countries and declare martial law in our own. Why not comply with the laws of war? To invade. Why practice in cities? Why emphasize “brutality”? Etc etc.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

Cancelled Disney+ today. I love the content but love my country more. I did not defend my country from terrorists for this.

Friends it is so essential to find your people. Hang out as much as possible with people who have decent values, who do their best to be kind You should have a community where you will be welcomed just as you are. And where your soul will be nourished. My community’s doors are open.❤️

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said. Good.

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC. If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

So is it just me, or does anyone else think these plans to deploy the national guard all over are preparation for protests this coming weekend?

Liz has a plan. A good plan. Who’s in?

Crimes against humanity

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

Interesting add tonight in Florida. Biden broke Medicaid but Trump will save it. Does this signal a reversal?

All of the autistic people I know are accomplished in their own ways.

My autistic child is gifted in art and music and is an honors student. She's a smarter and better person than this piece of shit, that's for absolute sure.

Notably, in his media availability in El Salvador, @vanhollen.senate.gov truthfully keeps saying that Abrego Garcia was "illegally abducted" and "disappeared" instead of the more antiseptic, and factually incorrect, "deported."

Oh wow. This just in from a CISA spokesperson: “The CVE Program is invaluable to cyber community and a priority of CISA. Last night, CISA executed the option period on the contract to ensure there will be no lapse in critical CVE services. We appreciate our partners’ and stakeholders’ patience.”

Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Which chicken shit House Dem said this off the record? Which one of you is too cowardly to add your name to this horrid statement? Speak up so we can primary your ass back to the stone age.
