Again, the Trump administration thinks they're playing video games, blowing up small boats without checking to see if they are drug smugglers. This country is heading into trouble. #Hegseth #warcrime #Venezuela
According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.

Yeah, run on the ocean after being blasted out of their boat. What is wrong with these people? #Hegseth #warcrime
Markwayne Mullin defends Hegseth: "If there was a second strike, it wouldn't be to just simply take out the survivors. It's because there was still a threat or opportunity for them to run."

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

I swear, Hegseth and all the other nuts in the Trump administration think they're playing video games. To address the complaints with a disgusting meme shows his middle school mentality. He needs to go. #Hedseth #warcrimes
A prime example of why mediocre white men should not be elevated to positions of power.

OMGosh, this is so good. And he's so right.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

America’s civic institutions have to address the full monstrosity of this. So too do democratic governments elsewhere in the world. It’s not happening. It’s being allowed to pass - so as not to rock the boat. Rock the boat, guys, rock it hard, rock it now.

We've weaned ourselves off Amazon. But I have friends who continue to use Amazon "because of the prices." Sometimes we have to be willing to sacrifice a bit of money to bring about justice. Please don't shop Amazon!

(1/4) The Trump administration is ordering the State Department to label countries with abortion access, LGBTQ+ protections, DEI policies, and even hate-speech safeguards as human rights violators.

The whole idea of DOGE was to cut expenses. But Musk claimed "a 10-room suite in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building as his own, along with a fleet of black SUVs to ferry him and top lieutenant Antonio Gracias around the capital."

She’s got to be kidding. If one of my kids called someone (besides Miss Piggy) “piggy,” they would be punished and made to apologize to the person. She excuses someone who not only is an adult, but is the f’n PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

This and JD Vance's statement about 31 million "illegals" buying up all the houses are out and out insane. If these "illegals" are poor and destitute and using federal funds, how are they getting mortgages? And when's the last, or even FIRST, time you've seen an immigrant bring a cow with them?

This is both very sad and very disgusting. These people served in the US military and were deported. What are we becoming?
