Last night, Florida voted for Medicare for all, for universal childcare, for homes we can actually afford, and above all, a future where working families go beyond barely making it by and truly thrive. Thank you.

I believe in the same fundamental principle that has guided Bernie for decades: government should work for working people, not billionaires and corporations. That means Medicare for All, affordable childcare, housing we can actually afford, and an economy where every person can live with dignity.

A fascist republican in Florida named Michael Caruso was just arrested on 5 felony charges related to molestating a child under 5 years old. He’s a close DeSantis aide and was the Palm Beach County clerk. Not a drag queen, not an immigrant, just those family values we hear all about.

1. On Monday, the media's focus was on the administration's treatment of the USS Lincoln. But the real story was in plain sight: an aircraft carrier that has been forgotten by the commander-in-chief is a direct consequence of war. Iran defeated America. The Lincoln is part of the aftermath.

I'd say about 80% of America's current problems stem from the warnings of Black people not being heeded historically. Most white folks NEVER thought this shit could happen to THEIR food, THEIR water, THEIR air, THEIR homes, THEIR healthcare

The difference in utility between the use of ML to tackle big data problems that would otherwise be intractable & the use of LLMs to produce pointless slop is so large they cannot both be usefully described as “AI“. The first is making real progress, the second is dragging us towards the abyss.

I‘m far from an AI doomer, but it is amazing how many serious voices — on LinkedIn, no less! — are sharing stories about how AI slop is quickly becoming one of the top problems they see in academic writing and research “AI will 10x our research!” doesn’t seem to be surviving encounters with reality

🚨Active Duty Air Force Major Jason Watson just went on National TV for the first time since his July 1 protest with us @removalcoalition.bsky.social. He took a major risk in speaking out again, doubling down on his demand that Trump be impeached, convicted and removed. youtube.com/live/K-Ikt2V...

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

January 6 was only 5 and a half years ago, and we’ve already cycled through investigation, indictment, conviction, pardon, and now gleeful promises to do it again only with actual hanging rather than just chants about it. Nice job GOP.

They're still doing it because we didn't hang them

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.
