"Hope doesn't preclude feeling sadness or frustration or anger or any other emotion that makes total sense. Hope isn't an emotion, you know? Hope is not optimism. Hope is a discipline...we have to practice it every single day." Mariame Kaba

If you are in politics, you should help people even if you get NO CREDIT FOR IT. OK? Stop being fucking ghoulish.

i think if the democrats had dug in their heels and said "this is the epstein shutdown. trump is starving the country because he doesn't want the epstein files to come out" they probably could have ended him. so it was very kind of them to not do that

Mr Mamdani: "The golden witch Beatrice has trapped me in a series of locked-room murder mystery games in an effort to prove that magic is real. But I'm not stressed. Beatrice isn't relevant to my real goal: to make New York City a more affordable and more equitable place to live. That's no mystery."

it's important to remember the people doing this aren't "just following orders," they signed up to do this, they're excited to do it, it's what they want to be doing, and each one of them is personally culpable for the entirety of ICE's conduct
In video provided exclusively to MSNBC's The Weekend: Primetime, immigration agents are seen attempting to pull a man out a window of a Chicago home. Agents also jumped a fence into the locked backyard and manhandled people doing work. Hear from the homeowner tonight on The Weekend: Primetime.

Almost immediately after Charlie Kirk was shot on Wednesday, right-wing social media accounts began speculating that his killer was transgender. Politicians and news outlets fueled the rumors.
The problem? There is no evidence to back up the claim.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Oh no, don't celebrate the imminent death of a fascist agitator! That might drive the Trump administration to continue doing whatever it wants!!!!! The only thing that was holding the US back from total disaster was the continued life of Charlie Kirk!!!!!!!!!

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

Nvidia and AMD have agreed to pay the U.S. 15 percent of their revenue from sales of AI chips in China, a highly unusual arrangement that some experts warn may be unconstitutional.
Nvidia, AMD agree to pay U.S. government 15% of A.I. chip sales to China
The arrangement is highly unusual as U.S. tech export controls are usually based on national security imperatives rather than whether they can raise funds for Washington.

Pretty sure there was an election just a few months after those protests. So... the protests didn't affect THAT election, but did determine the outcome of the election more than 4 years later? Your logic is not logicing.
I believe part of the reason we lost the 2024 election is the optics of the violence from the George Floyd protests.
(I protested that also, and it stayed peaceful.)
When I asked them why the Jan 2021 insurrection didn’t lose their vote, they pointed back to the violence in the 2020 protests
