I feel comfortable and secure in my belief that democratic leadership should not be pulling their slogans from venture capitalists. That this, at minimum, is a significant indictment of who they are listening and talking to. It’s not that complicated.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

the real problem for the Democrats is that they’re committed only to help people in ways that leave nobody worse off (ie ways that impede nobody’s profits). so that basically leaves them with infrastructure and targeted tax breaks as the only policy levers.

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

Sometimes police violence is the story but more often resistance is the story and telling it in a way that makes police the main actors strips agency from people fighting back, reproduces the toxic white myth of innocence, and keeps us from learning about tactical choices folks are making

So it turns out it’s the massively overpaid execs who could be replaced by AI… who’d have guessed
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

In 2022, Biden earmarked billions of dollars to help former coal communities. It was the largest investment in Appalachia since LBJ's 1960s’ war on poverty.
But Trump won West Virginia 70% to 28% in 2024. And now he's taking away the funding Biden gave them.
When are they going to learn?

I’m going to be clear. In my opinion, none of these people can be trusted. Prasad and Hoeg made their careers out of an agenda to take down COVID19 vaccines.
It is so incredibly dangerous to have these people at the FDA. They are a threat to the entire U.S. vaccination program.

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

You don't even really need to sit with it for a while; Northwestern and Columbia throwing in their lot with a fascist fits perfectly with the behavior of almost all of the "elite" members of the press over the last 20 or so years, going back to the Iraq war lies, if not longer.
Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.
