I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

I wish I could like this a billion times. Every single billionaire is a failure of policy.
and on the question of a billionaire tax, you could get a real big one off lump sum but the point is to make being a billionaire illegal. allowing anyone to accumulate that much is a threat to national security

Every time I get mad at some bullshit random grammar rule in my Swedish learning journey, I have to stop myself and ask if it's the same or worse in English, and let me tell you it almost always is.

They said "We're too big to fail".

We said "If you don't lose you'll never learn".

"Oh we'll learn," they said. "Trust us."

Ok folks! My Congressman is a MAGA clown who's on multiple ag committees.

As a farmer, I need ag policymakers who tell Trump no.

So for every donation to Kim Hardy, who's running against my

Ten years ago we were installing a GW of solar power every week. Now we are doing it every *12 hours*.
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.

I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

There are so many, but I keep coming back to when they bombed that hospital in the first days of the conflict.

They came up with a dozen lies in 24 hours, and seeing the media blindly swallow each one made me realize that they would not see any real consequences for their actions.

We have a societal and educational crisis on our hands of people not understanding what LLMs are and are not, can and cannot do. It's impacting economics, the job market, art, mental health, and business at all levels. If you think I'm an AI skeptic because I don't understand them, think again.
