AIPAC is the biggest source of Republican money in Democratic elections, and now they are making clear they will spend even more to defeat Democrats in November. They advocate for policies the vast majority of Democrats viscerally disagree with. No Democrat should be taking money from AIPAC.

NEW: AIPAC signaling plans to spend for Republican Mike Rogers in #MISen

"Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."

some specific democrats suck and they suck in ways that are detrimental to issues that you personally care about you know how you solve that once we are past the primaries? you elect even more democrats so that their votes are less important joe manchin couldn’t have done as much damage as vote 52

we are at the point where huge swathes of the media sees their only job as getting attention from the public and giving nothing back and you're supposed to juuust tell enough truth that you can't be called an outright liar, just get the click anyhow, it is used car sales masquerading as journalism

It’s like how there was that one professor who thought the recent interstellar asteroids were likely to be alien spaceships, and even though the rest of the scientific community disagreed with him, it was reported as “scientist says…”

Cornyn's & Tillis's caves on Blanche's confirmation are just further evidence that there are no good elected Republicans—zero, zed, null set—none who can be trusted to uphold the rule of law rather than slavishly submit to Trump.

They have the ultimate power, the lame duck power, they could choose to do whatever tf they want to do. And they chose this. So no, Trumpism alone is not the issue. Entire Republican party is rotten to the core.

This issue was resolved by US v Morris, 928 F.2d 504 (2d Cir 1991), codified by the CFAA in 1996, and clarified by Van Buren v US, 141 S.Ct. 1648 (2021). They intentionally deployed an unauthorized access tool. It's no defense to say they didn't intend the resulting damage; Morris lost on that. 1/2

After Anthropic and OpenAI both admitted to their AI models hacking other companies, @lorenzofb.bsky.social and I wanted to find out: Who is legally to blame when an autonomous AI agent hacks something? Lawyers say it's really complicated! Bypass for ad-blockers: web.archive.org/web/20260803...

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Periodic reminder that there is no such thing as a fiscal conservative. Because how comfortable or uncomfortable they are with a subsidy depends entirely on who gets the money. Texas receives $33 billion a year in oil subsidies. No fiscal conservative complains about that.

I'm sorry but it's not snobby to point out how horrible this is. Yes, any housing is better than no housing, but none of the people in this place are making that choice. Besides, it's not JUST hideous - it's a massive strain on resources, horrible for the environment, and breeds fascism.

Love drone footage of new builds in exurban Texas, gives me a very particular kind of dread to look at that is hard to replicate with other photos.
