None of the people responsible for the Iraq War, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, etc. saw any real justice. Cheney got rehabbed because he disagreed with Trump's manners and not his policies.
"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

Roger Stone & Matt Schlapp were banging on the doors in Miami to stop the vote count (The Brooks Brothers Riot).

Meanwhile, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett were on W's legal team drafting the legal arguments to make sure those votes in Florida never counted.

Joe Biden’s failure was like 60/40 this and doing a genocide. I include refusing to prosecute Trump et al as part of that, since he knew where the backlash would come from even if he thought it was the better option.
One of the major reasons we are here right now is that the white electorate does not reward politicians for making their lives better if that improvement also benefits non-white people.

It's not just that their wages are too low, ... it's also that the jobs themselves have become increasingly volatile and precarious." – @brian-goldstone.bsky.social

For example, one thing that Sen Schiff has done to stand up to attacks on his people is voting to confirm several Trump judges and members of his administration, as recently as an AL district judge on 10/24/25.

“But amanda how is that standing up to attacks on his people” he does it while frowning
When it comes to standing up to attacks on our people and our democracy, my advice is this:

Don't try to do everything. Find one thing you can do to mitigate the harms. If everyone does that, we'll get through this.

This is a lot of districts.. it’s about organizing your neighbors, door knocking, canvassing, really showing up, and not having a total dud with a nazi tattoo as a candidate.
What does a Midterm with 25% independent approval and a turnout disadvantage even look like?
I keep telling people our district can be won if we fight for it. The path is there to win FL-21.

Overpaid executives using AI to construct anti-welfare screeds when their employees are the largest recipients of SNAP.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

Fuel for my long held view that executives provide very little value and should be compensated around the middle of their org pay scale
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.

I’d love to see the stats on miles driven with and without a passenger. If you put everything else aside, having an influx of empty cars driving around is also bad.
In the name of fast-moving disruption, micromobility companies introduced dockless e-scooters in cities around the world.

They ended up littering streets + sidewalks.

Many cities, like #Paris and #Montreal, banned them as a nuisance.

The agreement will also require Northwestern to continue repressing pro-Palestinian students (including Jewish pro-Palestinian students) but honestly I think Northwestern would do that anyway, so I’m not sure the agreement makes much of a difference.

No Joke but him growing up in Santa Monica and the west side of Los Angeles actually makes perfect sense.
I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.
Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
