IF THEY PRIVATIZE TVA, YOUR BILLS GO UP

Billionaires and political insiders are trying to privatize TVA — the public power system that keeps our region’s energy affordable. My opponent’s backers support it. I’m fighting to stop it. Email your Senators today and tell them: NO to TVA privatization.

Pete fucking hegsath went to a republican women's convention with rape drugs in his pocket & now everyone is surprised he's a sociopath.
"Well, sure he's a rapist, but we didn't think he was also a murderer." Ppl who voted to confirm him.

I know this is correct, but it’s also really hard to sit with when those of us who STUDIED FUCKING HISTORY WERE SOUNDING THE ALARM THE ENTIRE TIME SINCE GUANTANAMO OPENED UP AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.
I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

The US military is ALREADY FOLLOWING ILLEGAL ORDERS.
What makes anyone believe they will stop when the orders are to murder Americans on American soil??
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

I expected this to be slightly more interesting. I really like the way the gentian plays with the mezcal but it's falling a bit flat.
I might try punching it up w/ Liber & Co ss & pineapple liquor.

Musk's employees are in top positions throughout the agencies of the executive branch. He's not gone, DOGE is not gone.
Everyone acts like Musk has been neutralized, cut off, and cast aside, when in fact he remains a huge risk to our country. We must not let him ride off into the sunset. He has to be held liable for the damage he’s done, the data he has stolen, and the elections he will continue to interfere with.

Note that all these chatbots are made by billionaire sex pests, who are desperately trying to make other people see humans the same way they do: inanimate objects to be used for one's own whims.

The people making these, openly say they see other people as NPC's.
The thing about these guys forming relationships with chatbots is that they will start treating actual women like the chatbots.

And when real women don't fawn, don't glaze them the way these digital yes men do, express opinions, they will view them as *defective* chatbots.

The foreign influence discourse has always confused me, because it's based in an assumption that the border protects us from bad people with bad ideas who are waiting just outside the border to harm us. What about bad people with bad ideas who were born inside the border?

Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme.

I don't have kids & I'm not education adjacent so I want to ask ppl who do or are; are "gifted & talented" & "upper track" programs still a thing? Are they controversial?

Those programs screw kids up & then those kids grow up to be people like Kristen Cinema & Curtis Yarvin.

Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never.

If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.
