Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.

If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Trump says the U.S. took out a 'big facility' in Venezuela amid strikes on alleged drug boats
The president did not provide details about the apparent strike, which NBC News has not independently confirmed.

I noticed whenever a show/movie decides to have these quiet, introspective moments like in Eternals, The Acolyte, or even Andor, that’s when people decide to call it “slow” or poorly written. It’s like no, you’ve just conditioned yourself to see action moments as the only valid thing.

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs.

So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

We had congressional hearings when parents just suspected heavy metal was leading some kids to suicide.
i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

One way to quantify the GOP's attack on free and fair elections:

My law firm is litigating 78 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is, by far, the largest caseload we have carried in a non-election year and close to our peak in 2024. The question is how many more can a small firm handle.

Wait..they “found” ONE MILLION more Epstein files?!? I can’t keep track of this anymore. One second it’s a hoax and it doesn’t exist, the next there are a million more files.

CW: pessimistic

This January is going to be a blitzkrieg of horror for millions of Americans. Nobody’s hiring. Masked thugs are terrorizing communities with impunity. Marketplace insurance will become unaffordable for the majority.

Also, we have lots and lots of guns.

I am exhausted.

They complain about everything.

Imagine being the most indulged voting bloc in the country and still centering your entire political identity on grievance.

That’s the modern GOP voter.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

If you're going to drop into every post and reply "So what? Who's going to do something about it?", the answer is YOU. YOU are going to do something about it. YOU are the consequences. Stop waiting for someone else to save you.

“Why aren’t Americans stopping this?!”
We’re trying.
But we don’t have snap elections or no-confidence votes, our political system has evolved to strangle popular opposition(especially in the Democratic Party), the establishment with agency is indifferent, and no one gives a damn about us.

Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states that the President, Vice President, & all civil officers can be removed from office through impeachment for committing treason, bribery, or other high crimes & misdemeanors. Shall We the People proceed? It's well past time to stop the insanity.
