man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them."

Elon Musk replies: "Working will be optional in the future.

There will be universal high income."

Ha! I looked up the site and you certainly can file a complaint. Thanks for the heads up.

Nope. This is completely illegal. Not approved by any authority. No approval from the Architect of the Capitol, the National Capital Planning Commission, or the White House Historical Association.

This part of the White House was built when FDR was president.

Asbestos was heavily used in buildings through 1973.

Are we sure this mess is safe?

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

The GOP is trying to con Americans into accepting a deal that will make their health care more expensive by fearmongering about health care for undocumented immigrants. Undocumented people aren’t eligible to enroll in Medicare and Medicaid. Don’t fall for their scam.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says:

Dear [REDACTED],
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes:
• Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation".
• Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23.
• Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice.
And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win.
She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security.
Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

This is a grassroots campaign:

“Abughazaleh reports over $1.1 million in individual contributions under $200, making up around 74% of her contribution totals.
In contrast, over 90% of Biss’ campaign contributions come from big-money donations of over $200.”
