I mean, I'm a public defender, but I would be hard-pressed to argue that my client who was carrying two concealed guns and a taser and knocked two people over "was just trying to talk" to Acton. This is really scary!

Fuckface told a room of officials that ranchers & farmers are immaculately clean, as if hygiene were the metric anyone asked about. It's the same word salad he serves every time a policy question needs an actual answer, garnished with a compliment nobody requested from a man too stupid to exist.
🧵 The White House has appropriated the logo of SEGA® to promote its new hateful ICE video game "arcade." SEGA® Corporations is owned by Japanese company SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS: "The entertainment business we engage in is a 'peace industry,' as it requires the world to be at peace for us to be needed."
Not surprising at all that they will say their research on ai impact on cognition but will not disclose anything about the methods. Without such disclosures, what they say are findings should be dismissed considering the huge COI.

Food delivery riders call on platforms to open up AI ‘black box’ they say has cut pay
Workers who blame algorithms for lowering their earnings are getting help from academics to find out how the system works Gig economy workers are urging delivery platforms to open up the “black box” of computer-driven algorithms that determine the jobs they are offered and how much they are paid, blaming increased use of AI for lowering wages.

I got my flu shot today, and the pharmacist confirmed what I feared - fewer and fewer people want to vaccinate their children since RFK Jr., that grifter and lunatic, became head of HHS. Children will continue to die of vaccine-preventable diseases. No words.

They are using our tax dollars for human trafficking. It's time to wake up now.
Holly 🇺🇸🦅@msdesignerlady.bsky.social · 5d agoIt's been reported the U.S. is paying other governments to accept immigrants, it can't "legally" deport.

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov · 5d agoAfter DOGE layoffs & record cuts, Trump’s freezing the pay of all our civil servants in 2027. With 3.4% inflation, this amounts to a pay cut for those who care for our veterans, process benefits, & deliver essential services. Congress must pass the FAIR Act & override this decision.
In any sane universe the 25th Amendment would've manifested itself into a kaiju and would be stomping around DC right now
RFK Jr. just cancelled a bunch of grants that are fundamentally aligned with MAHA priorities, including fresh produce delivery and home visits to assist women who’ve just brought home a new baby. Why? Because these grants focused on underserved populations. Can’t have that, can we?
