Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave”

We need to start calling their bluff.

We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Trump takes a personal plane from Qatar

Qatar gets a training base in Idaho

Argentina gets 20 billion

Our troops are NOT getting paid nor are our federal workers

What exactly are Trump and Republicans' priorities?

This is OpenAI attempting to force the law to develop in their chosen direction. Opt-out is simply not how American copyright law is currently structured.

Tyler King @tyleraking.com · Sep 29

Also: “OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator that creates videos featuring copyright material unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear, according to people familiar with the matter.”

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

If Tom Homan did nothing wrong, the Department of Justice should have no issue releasing the Homan files and the video of the alleged bribery to clear this up.

And while they’re at it, go ahead and release the Epstein files and clear Trump’s name.

Shouldn’t be hard!

My friend sent birthday cards from Michigan to another friend in Denmark.

USPS opened them before they sent them on.

But don't call them fascist. It hurts their feelings.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

The US is the only country to vote against the ceasefire and because of its stupid veto power, that’s all that was required.

Security Council resolutions are, unlike most UN or UN-adjacent entities, binding on member states.
