Zelensky lands in Miami. Not a single US official is on hand to greet him. In the language of diplomacy this send an unequivocal message of coldness and hostility. Compare it with the lavish pomp and red carpet shown to Putin when he landed in Alaska a few weeks ago.

So to sum it up - what I got 2 days ago is correct - US claims ownership of Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Russia runs it and sells energy to Ukraine. That’s why Trump mentioned the “cheap prices”

Guarantees are on the Europeans. And if this doesn’t work, Trump says, “they’ll just keep dying”.

No punishment is too great for a man who would drug and drive his own 6–8-year-old daughter to “pedophile ring parties.”

Sit with this: if this report is accurate, this child was horrifically abused. I wonder whether she’s been able to build any kind of life for herself.

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

Don't delegate the reading of your contracts to any one or anything. Read the whole fucking thing. If you have questions or don't understand something, this is what your agent or lawyer is for. And fucking YES get a lawyer, one that has some experience with contracts in the relevant field.

Definitely DO NOT outsource the reading/summarization of the legal contract to which you will be bound to a pattern matching program that can AND DOES willfully create misinformation when its algorithm tells it the misinformation is the statistically mostly likely next set of words.

Actually, it’s worse than this

Not only was Musk completely ignorant of what USAID did and how many lives it saved

He also called it a “criminal organization” that “needs to die”

And Trump-being even MORE stupid and ignorant-let him kill it

Russia is fucked.

"The mass return of psychologically traumatized soldiers from the front for whom human life may now seem cheap is a direct path to an increase in alcoholism, drug addiction, domestic violence, and crime."

Russia’s Current Demographic Crisis Is Its Most Dangerous Yet
The key difference between the current demographic crisis and the previous one is that the latter was significantly mitigated by an element that is now absent: immigration.

Good thread
I completely disagree with people dismissing the poor state of American activism.

There has been a firm lack of clear demands on the political system and it shows. It’s not only preventing progress but also preventing cohesive organizing. And no, I don’t think state repression explains it.

Just Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Larry Ellison have concentrated over $1.2 trillion in wealth amongst only themselves.

When 4 white men control that much concentrated capital you get fascism to protect the corruption.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Scoop: The lone employee behind CISA's Pre-Ransomware Notification Initiative resigned on Friday rather than take a forced reassignment to FEMA.

CISA says PRNI will continue, but sources said David Stern's loss will be a major setback for it.

Why is Donald Trump calling himself a "Sleazebag"?
President Trump:

“Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to "drop him like a dog" when things got too HOT…”

Don’t forget he watched the Paris Hilton tape with Melania. And talked about it…
which is really creepy when you learn that Paris and Ivanka became friends in middle school. Played together regularly. Who watches a sex tape of their daughter’s childhood friend? Trump, that’s who.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
