Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸
i was visiting a neighborhood bar in boston when a roving gang of elite college professors strode in acting like they owned the place. they saw me ordering a domestic lager and shouted "this motherfucker's not chasing novel gustatory experiences!" and started beating me with heavy wooden rulers

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach? BLANCHE: Excuse me? REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct? BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family. REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy
Never in my life have I seen such a perfect depiction of this moment in our history
I'll just note that critical race theory predicts quite a lot about the current racial retrenchment and for being *correct* it was pilloried in the press and by some academics.
Relocating 360K people!!! This is happening in Alaska as well. The coastal indigenous towns are built on perm-frost and the perm-frost is melting. None of those towns will be there in 20-30 years.

Ed Markey@edmarkey.bsky.social · 5mo ago25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
J.D. Vance's "Ain't I A Woman?" is going to be a real coup de grace.
