El-Sayed: "We've been talking about an illegal apartheid regime for a very very long time, and that supersedes Netanyahu itself. So I just think we need to treat Israel the way we would treat any other country that behaved the way Israel is behaving."

i got that dog in me in the sense that i yawn repeatedly when im anxious

Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it

Over and over the cycle repeats: Bad tech do bad thing Politicians: make bad tech not to bad thing? Companies: no bad thing make money Politicians: ah okay keep doing bad thing just add more spy

The new CHATBOT Act doesn’t just require parental permission for teens to use AI. It requires AI companies to build monitoring systems that store and analyze entire conversations, creating new privacy risks for entire families. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Strongly encourage the GOP to run with "just cook at home you stupid poors" as their general election message

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

$SPCX - SPACEX PLANS MOON FACTORIES POWERED BY HUMANOID ROBOTS

It is being reported that the cyclospora outbreak has expanded to another six states. So if you are wondering how the cyclospora outbreak is currently going, just know that the cyclospora outbreak is currently going to even more places.

Scenes from yesterday's protest after MPD removed Cory Ruiz memorial from Willy/Baldwin St intersection. The history of policing in the US has its roots in the plantation system and has been used to uphold the demands of white supremacy and the wealthy to this day.

SpaceX is barely Space and mostly X

Maybe if the rockets were a primary focus of the company, SpaceX wouldn’t be in danger of blasting a new crater into the Moon with its space trash.

Breaking: HR 6500, which funds ICE, DHS and all other Trump regime programs until December, passes by voice vote with no opposition from Democrats or Republicans - and John Thune adds amendments - Chuck Schumer is present but does not object. The Senate will go on paid vacation on August 10th.

Here are the DEMOCRATS that are going to help us fix Trump's crimes ? The Democrats that vote for ICE? A fascist organization that steals, murders, and terrorizes the United States?

Hopefully he doesn't abandon it once he gets a taste of power, money, and corruption. You know, like every other politician who has ran on change and then changed nothing.

The topline from Abdul El-Sayed’s win is that his platform for change still managed to win despite grotesque levels of outside campaign spending and a racist smear campaign to paint him as un-American. The grassroots desire to upset the status quo is that powerful.

Well, this isn’t going to be good. We all know how this will likely go. The Supreme Court has announced that one of the first cases it will hear when its new term begins in October is a major climate change lawsuit. Boulder County, Colorado, is seeking millions of dollars from fossil fuel

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

The pedophile-protector party is going to confirm President Epstein’s personal lawyer to be the top cop in the land. We have reached peak pedocracy.

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

If the gov’t doesn’t protect its people, then it has no legitimate function at all.

I’ve decided to start a business. I’ll walk around rich neighborhoods at night, recording their comings and goings. Provide detailed information about the exact location of their expensive cars, and when they are most likely vulnerable theft. Then sell the information to anyone. #Flock. #Palantir

OK not so optimistic tonight. The U.S. isn’t going away, but its self-flattering mask has been ripped off forever. By 2008, we’d made some strides in suggesting we were trying not to be the slave-owning, genocidal, land-grabbing nation of the past, and we spoke high-minded words. But for naught.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
