OpenAI exec James Dyett calling out the cowardice

In Minneapolis they're literally shutting down whole blocks and going door to door without warrants. The local TV news channels have segments to explain to folks their constitutional rights in that situation, it's that much of a thing.

I think this is how you win over independents. Not nearly enough people believe in open borders or human rights generally. Lots of people have a basic aversion to living under a ‘papers please’ regime

ICE is accusing the woman who was shot to death by an ICE agent today in Minneapolis of "weaponizing her vehicle" and "attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them -- an act of domestic terrorism"

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

I am reliably informed that my book has made an excellent gift for a large number of dads and dad types (non-gendered), if you need a gift for a dad or dad type in your life!!

The entire 2016 election was really a tale about two enemies scorned by the love of the same man

My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!) According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

By the way, the Senate with the law to avoid wiretaps unless notified in advance - it's to avoid corruption charges in the future too. It wasn't JUST about the J6 folks. It's ALL of them into the future.

Hey, this seems big.

Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct

@democrats.org no longer deserve our support for this absolute stupidity. This might be the absolute most idiotic thing they've ever done. Folks, we need a new party. Working Families. Democratic Socialists. We need a REAL opposition. These people are inept and unable to lead.

We live in a country where the government does not mandate that employers have to pay people enough to afford food, rent, utilities, and transportation as a bare minimum.

I am still SO ANGRY about Democrats capitulating. I mean, this was by far the stupidest thing I've ever fucking seen in my entire life of watching incompetence and cowardice lead the way.

At the end of the day, the government has just asked its citizens to choose between ensuring the population is adequately fed, or that the population has adequate healthcare, so that we don't have to add taxes to the ultra-wealthy just a little bit.

We do NOT deserve @heathergay.bsky.social.

QOTD: if a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate down to 1 wish and then wish for something they think the Republicans would like

One of the biggest mergers of the year, worth $49 billion, comes just weeks after the Trump administration linked the common painkiller to autism, which the company is fighting.

I hear a lot of liberals who don't have SNAP benefits arguing to keep the shutdown and fighting for healthcare. Valid point: Healthcare is a necessary human right and we need to not make it worse. Counter: we're asking millions to go hungry as a concession to win.

Hey, you guys, I've made a name for myself as a mediocre data product manager. (I truly am an idiot) And, I can tell you this much ... From everything I've read and experienced - too many companies need to invest HEAVILY into their underfunded data platforms and orgs, or else the AI is a money pit.

Can we talk about #WelcomeToDerry?! Because episode 2 had a scene that had me in a full blown panic for this character and it was absolutely astonishing film, audio, staging, effects. I was blown away. What a TERRIFYING show.

Listening is its own gift.

This is a grift to defraud the US people and give the charity, probably, to right wing-aligned nonprofit orgs.

Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."

They are tearing off the east wing of the white house. That was built during and at the demand of FDR - the president who passed the most progressive agenda in history.

If the government shuts down for a month, am I allowed to owe 11/12ths of my normal tax bill?

501c3 is a tax designation of a corporation, not a business strategy.
