I just watched this interview with journalist Sharon Weinberger about how Tech Bros have transformed into War Bros and it’s absolutely chilling.

Hegseth broke the news about live streaming an execution to a MAGA propagandist who has 14/88 tweets and once hired Atomwaffen members (who were at Charlottesville and friendly with the Tree of Life shooter) to help him harass the family and neighbors of a Jewish murder victim.

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

MTG's story is critical for this piece because it's proof that Trump is directing the death threats. Nobody else has told a comparable story of a one-on-one convo with the POTUS where he welcomed death threats against their son.

“You say that like it’s a bad thing!”

Instead of giving the money to charity, Musk likely “donated” the money for tax-dodging purposes.

it would be so easy to open that "plz pay for our school supplies" website and just go apeshit clicking on things, laughing maniacally about how no one can stop you from improving the world little by little the whole time and your accountant wouldn't even notice

I wonder what would have happened if folks had taken seriously the rise in political violence and threats against women, trans, Black, and antifascist organizers and figures back when we were all getting swatted and sent photoshops of ourselves beheaded

My 92 year-old mother was recently in the hospital. She kept telling the nurses, “just make sure I get home in time to fill out my ballot. I just wanna live long enough to fill out my ballot“.(She’s home now and filling out her ballot.)

Very dystopian that on the article about a A.I. data center poisoning the air, there's a little rainbow A.I. chatbot button just lurking at the edge, waiting to poison the air some more to answer your banal question

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

So a women's centre supported me a back in 2023. The support was invaluable. I was treated like every other women. With true compassion and empathy. In the real world outside the fantasy land of bad faith actors, cis women support trans people. Why? Because they view us as equal human beings.

Feds Shatter 200 Year Legacy In Shocking Raid for Trump Wall

In a shocking confrontation along the U.S.-Mexico border, federal agents recently dismantled a camp protecting a treasured 200-year-old cottonwood tree, an act that has ignited outrage among environmentalists and local residents. More than 80 federal officers descended upon the encampment in Arizona, where activists had gathered to defend what they call the "grandmother" tree from destruction by construction crews building President Trump’s highly controversial border wall.

We are seeing AI engage in actions colloquially described as lying, cheating, and stealing. All of these are forms of reward function optimization in persistent pursuit of a goal. Accordingly, we will continue to see these types of actions, which is why full AI “alignment” is impossible.

A fire was set at the home of a prominent Jewish anti-Zionist activist in Jerusalem’s Mea Shearim neighbourhood while his family was inside. According to the group Voices of Rabbis, the family was targeted for opposing Zionism and Israel.

Can we be honest that so called 'wokeness' meant Black people demanding full social personhood and refusing to be silent about getting murdered/harmed by the state? So yes, that is more threatening to many in this country than is fascism. I think that's been clear.

If you only read the opinion journalism in elite media over the last decade, you would have been convinced that wokeness, not fascism, was the greatest threats to American society. Now some of those authors are retconning by trying to relabel fascism as "the woke right." bsky.app/profile/donm...
