4. Trump and his cronies will strip the US government of any ability to help the American people while simultaneously buying up assets after crashing the economy, causing even more of a wealth gap.
5. We will have more disenfranchised people stepping up and Luigi-ing oligarchs

#FuckCharlieKirk and #FuckMusk and his "oh leftists are so violent" rhetoric. They haven't even caught the shooter to know their political leaning.

Potato oles are essentially fried potato rounds with Lawry's seasoning salt (I guess technically there's also some sugar in the seasoning but otherwise it's very close to Lawry's). It's a great substitute if you don't have a Taco John's nearby.

It's wild to me that people think that ending #birthrightcitizenship won't be retroactively applied to anyone who displeases Das Führer. Unless you are a full-blooded native American, every single one of us in the US is descended from someone who wasn't a citizen at some point.

President #Biden kneeling in front of the coffins of assassinated #Minnesota State Rep Melissa Hortman and her husband (and her dog!). This is what #respect and #decency looks like and is true presidential behavior.

If a company has full time employees who make so little that they are eligible for federal benefits like food stamps or Medicare, they are not making a #livingwage and that company should be ineligible for tax incentives

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

Even linkedin gets it

1) Sandra used AI to write a report
2) Bill used AI to summarise the report
3) Bill used AI to write questions about the report
4) Sandra used AI to respond to the questions
5) Bill used AI to create a presentation about the report
6) Jane used AI to take notes from the presentation
7) Jane’s team used AI to summarise the notes she shared

No one wrote the report, no one ever read the report, no one understood the questions or the answers.

No business value was achieved

But but but AI adds business value

I was just reading an article that said that Trump is announcing a ceasefire but neither Israel or Iran have stated that they have agreed to one. So yeah I am not holding my breath here

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

Yesterday I found out that being #undocumented in the US is a #misdemeanor, *not* a #felony. What #Trump is doing is equivalent to someone forgetting to renew their license and being sent to Guantanamo for it. It's absurd.

I would venture to guess we are at 3.5%. some of us couldn't make the protests for various reasons, but we are still out here cheering everyone on and ready to fight however we can

Well I just got to experience the modern vile #breakup for the first time. Called me every name in the book, used every vulnerable thing I told him against me, and to yelled every mean judgement he had ever suppressed to get laid. There is a reason so many #women are #donewithmen
