Everyone headed to Congress should have this plan: DAY ONE: Restore the ACA tax credits. Millions are being crushed by healthcare costs. Democrats should be promising to fix this, loudly and immediately. Dems running for Congress should be promising to fix it, loudly. #RestoreACATaxCredits

265 days at sea. 5,000 sailors are finally coming home. It’ll take another 1–2 weeks, and it’s only happening after the public outcry, but it’s about fucking time. Now Hegseth needs to answer for why it took this long.
If this is life on the ships can you imagine how much worse it is in the detention centers😡
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · last wk.🚨 FOR THOSE WHO MISSED IT Listen to our exclusive reporting of the dire conditions aboard the USS Lincoln. This is the story the Trump regime does not want people to hear. Make sure to share it. Rotten Meat, No Milk: Soldier’s Family Tells All to Meidas About USS Abraham Lincoln 👇
$20M on electrified gloves helps explain in part why Democrats were against providing ICE a budget larger than all other Federal Law Enforcement agencies combined. And knowing people will die from these gloves, it also explains why the bloodthirsty GOP supported it. The parties are NOT the same! 😡
Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only)@axidentaliberal.bsky.social · last wk.They want to give these lying sleazebags-who pull guns on American citizens completely without justification and far too often shoot them-gloves that send an electric shock through people to disable them This will wind up with more dead Americans, literally at the hands of ICE
🔥 TEXAS: “Registered voters in Tarrant County has increased 30% — to be closing polling stations is blatant voter suppression… when I joined the Navy, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic…Talking to you, Comrades."
Folks, I’m not going to lie this is scary AF, but don’t take the bait. Show up and VOTE🗳️🗳️and bring 3 friends with you, we have to overwhelm them at the ballot box. As long as we stay focused and determined we can win this. 86 days to go!!
If you’re just waking up: the U.S. Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as attorney general at around 4:30am ET in a 50–49 vote.
Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3w agoRep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
RFK, Jr., once again making the case that he, not Hegseth nor any of the rest of Clown Car Cabinet, is the most dangerously unfit cabinet secretary.

When I spoke to unhoused people they told me their day to day lives were mostly terror Constant terror Fear of assault, rape, the police. Fear of losing what little they had left Were I in the same position I’d look for any way to dull it.
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 3w agoIt was inevitable that reactionary centrists would turn against harm reduction and call for a return to mass incarceration
The same people who lied about the Reflecting Pool also lied about . . . The 2020 election How things are going in Iran COVID Trump’s intelligence Caring about you and your family Not cutting Medicare Who would pay for the wall & ballroom Donald being successful in business & school
Let me get this straight. Taxpayers now fund a cooking show hosted by RFK Jr….a guy who eats only meat and fermented cabbage, keeps roadkill in his freezer, and flipped the food pyramid upside down. Delicious. I feel healthier already.
We’re going to expand the Port of Vancouver. That will create 17,000 good jobs and make it easier to sell Canadian goods to new markets around the world.
Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.
I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.
This is a masked ICE agent in upper Manhattan today. He walked up to a woman simply recording and pepper-sprayed her in the face. Watch the video. 👇

Not every one of these reasons, individually, is a deal-breaker. But taken as a whole, it was enough to convince us that the cons outweighed the pros, at least for us. 11/12
And last, but certainly not least: - The whole point of going indie was because we like doing the work ourselves! We don't want a machine doing any of the fun parts. 10/12
Moral/Ethical Reasons (cont'd) - AI content submissions can outpace and drown out human content submissions in communities. 9/12
Moral/Ethical Reasons (cont'd) - AI use is driving job loss for humans (even if only temporary). - AI is a force multiplier for undesirable effects like: spam, robocalls, scams, fraud, militarization, and other forms of abuse. 8/12
Moral/Ethical Reasons - Data used in training AI may not have been obtained legally. - Data scraping to train AI burdens content hosts unfairly. - Training and operating AI increases demand on municipal water. - And municipal power. - And local real estate. - And the cost of computer hardware. 7/12
Practical/Quality Reasons (cont'd) - AI output cannot be trusted or vetted by reputation, unlike a human creator, because AI output is not consistent enough from instance to instance. 6/12
