The first day Alec was alive was the day he was born? Not when he was in utero? Interesting.

Do you realize the Declaration of Independence says we’re required to remove this administration because of it’s “long train of abuses” and “absolute Despotism”?

MALICIOUS INCOMPETENCE

Greece is burning. Spain is burning. Sicily, Wales, Türkiye, Canada, the US— the entire planet is engulfed in flames. Decades of warnings ignored. Decades of corporate denial exposed. The science was right all along: our home is on fire. We need immediate, radical climate action.

One of the most practical and interesting articles on AI I've read. "The improvements will come not just from the AI, but from the fact that you're rethinking the whole work process. Individuals in their own jobs use AI more than the organizations do." www.wbur.org/onpoint/2026...

Can AI really do our jobs?

Companies rushed to replace workers with AI. Now, some of these same companies are hiring back human workers. What happened?

📌"It would be easy to just say the hell with it all, but the history Republicans want to erase instructs us to push on and take that beach no matter the cost … or even just that seat on the bus. It's been a hard decade, but I swear to God we shall overcome." A message of hope. You are not alone. ✊🏼

IT'S OK TO TALK ABOUT IT

Reckoning with perhaps the most evil decade in American history ...

Our current Iran strategy is no different than a clown at the bar yelling ”hold me back, bro”

Fox correspondent: "President Trump tells Fox News about Iran, 'We are going to beat the f**king s**t out of them.' He went on to say, 'We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating.'"

Deportations are death sentences. "[The couple was] killed weeks after González de la Cruz self-deported to be with her husband, who was deported last year. Their 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body. The child showed signs of dehydration." www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations

The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

Good grief, this hits home.

Pete Davidson: “Trump was weird all week. He faked a phone call (with his flip phone) during a table read and was like ‘hey everybody my book went #1’ — and we were all like yo that phone didn’t ring.”

Guerline Jozef, executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance: "Once again members of our community find themselves in a state of extreme trauma, fear and terror... One of them told me her little girl doesn't even want to go to school for fear of coming home and not finding her mother."

TPS for Haitians officially expires tomorrow. ICE is planning big operations, with Springfield, Ohio among the targets www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-hai...

People need to step back and understand what they are seeing. After a few months of war, the USA is running out of munitions and options fighting a country with no air force, no navy and a damaged infrastructure. US decline is real and self-inflicted.

Musk calls for the assassination of a reporter who embarrassed him with basic questions

There is simply no ambiguity in what Elon Musk is arguing and endorsing here.

I am followed on here by a bunch of journalists, and like… y'all. What the living hell is anyone doing going to the correspondents' dinner, in any other capacity than to loudly, visibily, pointedly protest this administration to its face? And I'm not talking fucking coordinated pocket squares 🙄

hannah gais@hannahgais.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I’m sorry, if you’re a journalist and you’re still going to the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, fuck off.

$100,000 a year is the new $39,000. In 1990, a $100,000 salary had the same buying power as about $255,000 today. Today, $100,000 buys what roughly $39,000 bought in 1990. A six-figure salary isn’t what it used to be.

They Wrote a Picture Book to Encourage Bipartisanship (Gift Article)

Ellie Gottheimer and Larra Mullin, who met when their fathers were in Congress, make a case for bipartisanship in a picture book about dogs working together.

Those of us from military families, currently serving, and veterans are appalled. That a draft dodging monster can claim a ceasefire while shots are still being fired then declare those killed as being ineligible for benefits due to ceasefire is infuriating. Trump/Hegseth are an abomination.

OSSOFF: You stated on the 14th day of this conflict that Iran's military was 'destroyed.' Was that an accurate statement -- yes or no? HEGSETH: Iran's ability to challenge the US-- OSSOFF: That's not what I asked. Yes or no? HEGSETH: What the milit--- OSSOFF: Will you answer the question?

A predictable, and by now tedious, tactic of incompetent military leaders is to attempt to spin criticism of their catastrophic misjudgements as an attack on the troops they have flung into the meatgrinder.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w ago

😳 Hegseth snaps at Peters: "Your characterization of this incredible effort as a failure if reckless and irresponsible and smear the sacrifice of the troops. Shame on you." Peters responds: "You, sir, are the failure!"
