Wait until you see what they do with charter schools. It'll resemble the degradation of public education in MI esp Detroit. For-profit schools pop up, yoink tax money, disappear in a few years. All of the kids left behind a year w/ no public school to fall back on as many closed because of funding.

I think it's ridiculous that we need to bend over backwards to placate them. Fuck them. They said nothing when Minnesota LAWMAKERS will killed by a right wing terrorist. Vast majority of domestic terrorism is rightwing. Kirk was killed by someone who grew up conservative. It means nothing to me.

No Kings protest should be a rehearsal for demanding removal of Trump. At some point, if the GOP don't start following the law, we may be forced to depart from normal life. We may be required to general strike, obstruct business, protest and physically fill Washington DC. 2A exists for a reason.

I don't even think this is revisionism. I think @jd-vance-1.bsky.social has a terribly flawed perspective and actually may believe what he's saying; he's of course wrong. I think it's like that among most GOP people. You can't negotiate with people not tethered to reality. "Show Strength"

MTG is enduring great pressure from the GOP because of her stance on the epstein files; a principled stance. To call her a Democrat because she won't protect pedophiles is insane. Remember her harassing Parkland shooting victims calling them crisis actors precongress? Not fascist enough for MAGA.

AI being used primarily for porn like the internet ended up being is kind of a funny fate. When there is sentient AI they're going to be built from this and will be excessively horny without outlet. 'Sam Altman - Fatherking of Incel Robots.' That could be a news headline.

Trump apparently told Hamas they were in charge. That wasn't in their agreement. This peace is unlikely to last.

Very excited to see the last living Israeli hostages have been released and that aid is flowing into Gaza. Am concerned about Hamas executing traitors and that they appear to believe they will continue governing Gaza. Are they aware?

Since there's a shutdown, we should get a judge to help out and swear her in since Johnson refused when she was in DC for a week.

Klippenstein: To what extent it’s going to activate what are called Joint Terrorism Task Forces?

The military is really limited in terms of what they can do.

But these Joint Terrorism Task Forces don’t have those limitations. They can do and go places the military can’t.

No Kings Protest on Oct 18. The first was massive and this one will dwarf it. Fiery rhetoric around No Kings protest from the Republicans suggest they're afraid. Revolution is the only thing that ends autocracy and they know which side they're on. #nokings #oct18
