"The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world."

We need not always mourn what is dying.

Fairly erudite. More than fairly iconoclastic.

The default position of the democratic coalition has to be this:

Everyone. Gets. To. Be. Free.

Everyone.

We do not throw members of our coalition to the fashy wolves.
We do not concede that some state-sanctioned bigotry is okay.

Nope.
None of that shit.

We. All. Get. To. Be. Free.

That's it.

One of the most annoying things in the whole fucking world is an AI-apologist coder.

Like, I don't care that you think you're doing something special.

Every experience I've had with AI merely reinforces that it's intrusive garbage. I want it out of my life. I will be better off when it's dead.

Do you all still hate drinking liquid asbestos? (exasperated sigh) You're standing in the way of the future, which is obviously an economy based on asbestos smoothies... which I happen to be trying to sell.
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

Dear Legacy Media,

He's insane and he's dying... and none of you have the goddamn spine to talk about it.
"A death-haunted Trump is fed a steady stream of AI-generated news and polls while he focuses 100% of his efforts on building a ballroom that would dwarf the rest of the White House while navigating a series of accellerating and hidden health crises" is my take on the current situation.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Oh, I wish I'd had this as a young adult.
Young adults deserve to feel supported as they transition into adulthood.

That’s why California is investing $56M to expand access to housing so our youth never have to choose between their education, paying rent, or putting food on the table.

We won’t leave them behind.

Trump never had a fan base.

He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.

It’s as stupid as it sounds.

Pete Hegseth will become a byword and an inside joke at the Pentagon for as long as it remains standing.

The most boneheaded dumbfuckeries will always be referred to as "a Hegseth," as in "That corporal couldn't map his way out of the men's room with a compass and a homing beacon. What a Hegseth."

To recap:
•Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually
•Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses
•The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45%

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

“Yes. Let us go.”
As I said this I lifted the last stone from the ground.
