Emmett Till would have been 85 today (b. 7/25/1941). The 14-year-old Chicagoan was brutally murdered by white men while visiting relatives in Miss. in 1955. His murder & the acquittal of the killers made Till an icon of the civil rights movement. Image: Public domain photo taken by Till’s mother.
RFK jr set out to destroy the country's use of vaccines and here we are: the highest rate of measles in 35-years and it's only July. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Under Trump, U.S. federal debt has surpassed 100% of GDP for the first time since WWII. And it's on track to beat that all-time record by 2030.
Did anyone actually watch that demented fool deliver his Pettysburg Address, or was he shouting into the void?

“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.” Fleeing. The vehicle was driving away. That’s murder. A legal resident of the United States is now dead. The threat to public safety is ICE. It must be eliminated.

Jobs created last year of Biden and first year of Trump. Trump is incompetent, incontinent, a dementia patient, and a goddamned loser.

I've been remiss, partly because of how bad it hurts to think about, but Lou Holtz has brought me back to it. Losing Jesse Jackson was a massive hit for humanity. That man did as much for the black cause as any other, including MLK and anyone else you can name. Jesse was a FORCE of humanity.
This is outrageous. Unbelievable. Abandoning our own citizens in the face of a war of choice that we started. Every damn one of these people should be impeached yesterday.
Anna Kramer@annackramer.bsky.social · 5mo agoNEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."
30 years. This video should be on every network.
This is real life Skynet. Hegseth is threatening to nationalize or destroy Anthropic if they don't do his bidding. Maduro style. Putin style. They want surveillance of citizens and to use kill drones as autonomous units. No human intervention for kills. mashable.com/article/anth...
Anthropic's AI safety policy just changed for this reason
The company behind Claude acknowledged that its original safety policy faced too many obstacles.
