THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

"Why aren't young people protesting?"

The AI industry's record profits depend on concealing the workers behind the machines, who do the often soul-destroying tasks of cleaning, annotating, and sorting data. AI is not about replacing humans but about restructuring labour and further concentrating wealth and power in the hands of a few.

It is incredibly depressing, but hardly surprising, how many of Bernie's fans on here don't realize "fentanyl" and "illegal immigration" are just right wing dogwhistles. He's repeating Fox News shit here.

Not hearing enough noise about Mahmoud Khalil from folks who like to quote the "first they came for" poem. Y'all get that the point is that they came for controversial, easily othered groups first, right? Now, it's trans people, immigrants, and student activists. Your turn will come. Fight now.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example
