It’s inconvenient to have a publicly edited fact checker if you want to rewrite the past using Grok. #wikipedia #ai
I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
I bought Nerds for the kids. Tried one. Guilty pleasure good. Ate them all. Too bad for my little neighbors.
They’re going to get corn nuts and little chocolates.
Chocolate covered liver clusters. Broccoli florets with sprinkles. Tofu gummies.

No kid in the neighborhood will ever knock on our door again.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Congratulations to the 38 graduates of @calfire.bsky.social's new Atwater Training Center.

Each graduating class will bolster California's world‑class firefighting force and our commitment to keeping Californians safe in an era of evolving fire risk.
And no more socialist seat belts!!
I expect the next change to be the return of smoking sections in restaurants.

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: The Ninth Circuit just paused the three-judge panel’s order on our first TRO until Tuesday so they can complete their en banc vote.

This means for now, both our TROs preventing National Guard deployment remain in effect.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

Given what Miller’s threat to arrest Pritzker for seditious conspiracy, I ask again:
Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

The Rose Garden is gone.

Everyday we see why Michelle Obama was finally proud of her country in 2008 & why many are ashamed in 2025.

Everyday the people Hilary Clinton called deplorable do more deplorable things.

Everyday something Kamala Harris said would happen, happens.

America hates women.

Trump is summarily executing people suspected of being drug dealers, without providing any proof.

How close are we to Trump ordering the execution of Americans he considers opponents? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-illegal-executions
