Predictably - the Trump/Republican response to last night won’t be to try to earn more votes, it will be to suppress the vote.

Please be aware that:
1) Our economy only looks okay because of massive, massive AI investment (corporate betting).
2) A core reason for such investment is that AI promises to release mega corporations from the extreme expense and bother of having to have human employees.

MIDNIGHT UPDATE: Moderate/Dem-backed candidates are currently sweeping every school board race in conservative Douglas County, Colorado (home to a famous school voucher experiment). Would give moderates total 7-0 control of the school board. #copolitics

This was the first election under Trump. There are multiple to come. Let him keep fucking it up that states and seats are swept by dems so we can take back our country from these facists

Target did this to itself. No one else is to blame. Self inflicted financial collapse.

Mr. Spock 🖖 @spockresists.bsky.social · 9h

The real issue here is that Target made terrible choices. It decided to align itself with the wrong people.
There are people who have not shopped at Target since November 2024.

“After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.”

It’s an uplifting speech. Bravo!

The full transcript of Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech is very much worth reading in full. Even if you don't agree with your politics, it's very beautifully put together.

Mamdani won because idiots like Walsh continue to push their insidious agenda by invoking racism, Islamophobia, and the omnipresent Communist boogeyman, which in reality does not exist. Trumpism, blatant hypocrisy, and MAGA greed are what’s destroying America.

So, I was looking for any new updates on snap benefits distribution because the judges put in their orders that partial amounts are supposed to be distributed by the end of business today and I have some friends who rely on the benefits. It led me to the USDA website and this is what I found.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.
