Keep your loved ones away from OpenAI it’s not a safe product to use.
OpenAI is now facing a total of 8 wrongful death lawsuits from grieving families....who claim that ChatGPT, in particular, the GPT-4o version, drove their loved ones to suicide. Soelberg’s complaint also alleges that company executives knew the chatbot was defective before it pushed it to the public
He put his complete trust in a chat bot that turned him into a savage murderer.

NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times.

But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS

For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.

That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

You do not have to be good to be protected by the law, but the reactionary argument is explicitly that the law only protects the good, as defined by them. That argument is worth rejecting over and over again, both domestically and internationally.
People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

I can barely process the Trump press conference I've just listened to. This is the kind of stuff you usually hear from dictators at the very heights of their delusions. Not elected leaders of superpowers.

Sept 1 1939: The Führer announces that Poland is a clear danger to the nation, and that "In order to put an end to this lunacy I have no other choice than to meet force with force. Since 5:45 a.m. we have been returning fire, and from now on bombs will be met by bombs."

We’ve seen what happens when a reckless American President tries to run a foreign country on behalf of rich oil executives.

Trump’s corrupt & illegal actions jeopardize the lives of Americans, the stability of the region, and the rule of law.

This is the very essence of Twitter under Musk. Did you know that the biggest Medicare fraudster in Minnesota—Philip Esformes—is a well known MAGA activist who was pardoned by Trump? He then moved to Florida, where he was arrested again for fraud activities. Medicare fraudsters should be prosecuted

Imagine believing, and getting mad about, Somali daycare centers having contributed $35 million to the Democrats - a nonsensical, demonstrable, obvious lie.

And yet some *billionaires* believed it and then spread the lie over on Twitter.

Some of the richest people are some of the dumbest.

I’m personally not afraid of or opposed to getting an ROI for my tax dollars and having shared services that makes everyone’s life better. This irrational fear that community adversely affects individual freedom (it doesn’t) is precisely why we can’t have nice things.

Just flat-out declaring that everything Adams did as mayor after the indictment—in the final fifteen months and five days of his term of office—was presumptively corrupt, and undoing everything that's in his immediate power to undo with a single stroke of the pen.

This is the way.

DHS was hastily cobbled together in the aftermath of 9/11.

We need a Church/Pike Committee equivalent to conduct a clear assessment whether this Cabinet level Department has functioned, and if not then what to do about.

And bring back INS. Carving out ICE and CBP guaranteed the toxic worst.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

If we were to increase the number of undocumented workers in the US construction industry by 100,000 people, the labor supply of fast construction workers would go *up*, and the cost to construct a home would go *down*.

Everyone knows this.

But racist people pretend not to know it.

It's silly
