and the funny thing about this is that the people who are wealthy and against immigrants believe wholly that the poor white trash, who also hate immigrants, will come and do their work when all the immigrants are gone. they do not know their base

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.

It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.
Exclusive: The U.S. government asked a judge to deport a man to Afghanistan, where he expects the Taliban to kill him. Legal experts say the case could have consequences for Afghans the U.S. rescued and promised to support.
Trump administration makes misleading case in high-stakes asylum hearing
Homeland Security asked a judge to deport a man to Afghanistan, where he expects the Taliban to kill him. The case could affect thousands of asylum seekers.

Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

LLMs do not, in fact, pass the Turing test
No one knows how the mind works, and this guy is no exception.

Obviously LLMs are (at least) the closest thing we have created to human intelligence. It passes the Turing test so to start talking about what it doesn’t do you’ll need better tests.
This crosses my mind every time I see a breathless article about LLMs "developing survival instincts" or "resisting being shut off" or "blackmailing their operator"

That's not how this works. It's not how any of it works.

NARRATOR: The Insurrection Act does not allow the president to do "whatever I want" and would not preclude the judiciary from "get[ting] involved."

The Insurrection Act allows the president to used the military to enforce civilian law or suppress rebellion. It is not a declaration of martial law.
Trump on sending troops into American cities: “If I want to enact a certain act, I’m allowed to do it…And I’d be allowed to do whatever I want…And the courts wouldn’t get involved. Nobody would get involved. And I can send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.”

Day 28 of this absurd federal shutdown, and the Senate's still bickering like spoiled brats while air traffic controllers pocket zero and food stamps dry up. Politicians fiddling as lives burn. #GovernmentShutdown

Naked Nazi iconography, of the guy who Miller and Lewandowski keep unleashing on our streets.

again a reminder that the NYT leadership supports Cuomo *because* of his record of sexual harassment, not *despite* it. they have a strong interest in making sure that they and their friends can never again suffer the indignity of being held accountable by their inferiors.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Shout out to Willie Mae’s Barbecue in Springfield, TN for offering free meals to SNAP recipients, no questions asked.

The owner expressed the concept of “doing what’s right.” He has more of a moral compass than our governor who won’t tap into $2 BILLION of the people’s money to help people in need.

Joe Biden told rich donors to their faces that they had so much money that nothing would fundamentally change about their lifestyles if they paid their fair share, & that he didn't want to demonize them, but this level of inequality was dangerous

That's WHY the billionaire-owned media destroyed him
"This is a moment that demands a response. If Dems can’t run on a unified platform that centralizes and prioritizes taxing the ultrawealthy in order to dismantle their stranglehold on our govt, then they need to get out of the way for people who will."

Today marks 100 days until the expiration of the New START Treaty--the last remaining agreement that limits U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear forces. Once it expires, we will be left with no legal barrier to a major buildup of the world's two largest nuclear arsenals. (🧵👇)
The Clock Is Ticking on New START Expiration—and a Nuclear Arms Race
Allowing the New START treaty between Russia and the United States to expire in 2026 could lead to an unconstrained race for nuclear weapons around the world.

No war is holy. No border wall is Christian. No leader is above God's call to peace.

Pope Leo spent the entire day lambasting our political leaders: “We must ensure that this period of history, marked by war and the arrogance of power, soon comes to an end.

“Enough!”
Pope Leo: “War Is Never Holy” — Leaders Must Tear Down Walls and End Violence
Pope Leo is done watching self-described Christian leaders praise God with one breath and glorify cruelty with the next.
