The booing of what sounds like a foreign (and no doubt in the man's mind, 'Islamic') name, really speaks volumes about the mindset of some Trump supporters. Even when Trump is gone, this white Christian nationalist section of US society will still remain.

LOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently

If you think Fox has ramped up the Islamophobic outrage over Abdul El-Sayed's victory, you really need to check out what Newsmax was doing last night. It's hard to put into words how racist this is, but also notice how the anchor lies and calls El-Sayed an "immigrant from another Muslim country."

El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."

It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Jennifer Schulze (@newsjennifer.bsky.social ): If you want to know what David Ellison would do w/ CNN, look at CBS, "a raging dumpster fire with non-stop controversies ... meddling in editorial content to make it more Trump-friendly and historic declines as the audience runs away as fast as it can."

David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN

We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

What a sad state our country is in when the Senate has to debate whether a President’s former personal lawyer—who has led the burying of the Epstein Files and promised to make Trump immune from tax crimes—should be our nation’s highest law enforcement officer.

I should be less surprised at how flamboyantly and consistently Randi Weingarten has failed the challenges of leading one of the teachers' union in the US in age of gAI. Deeply uncritical, incredibly short-sighted, but most of all, pusillanimous.

“Teaching educators about AI is a ‘moral imperative’, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president.” “And without outside funding, it was a choice between taking big tech’s money or doing nothing, she said.”

Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.

Bessent on the justification for Trump's tariffs: "The emergency is stopping the emergency" (You can see why the Supreme Court ruled that these tariffs were illegal ... )

😳 Rep. Pete Stauber indicates there's something gravely wrong with Tom Emmer's health: "You have no idea what Congressman Emmer is dealing with right now. If you did, you would've never made that comment. He's fighting for his damn life today!"

For generations, Americans have learned that the Revolution was fought over liberty, taxes, and representation. But what if the struggle for Indigenous land was just as central, and what if leaving Native people out of the story changes everything we think we know about the U.S.?
