The lower bound estimate for just the cost of shipping the M1 Abrams and Bradleys to Washington DC by rail is $750,000.00
Just the shipping costs. Using 2023 freight shipping costs.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

I want to be a creator, an artist, but I don’t know if I’m scared or lazy. Probably both.
I can barely motivate myself, but I’m trying. A little each day I’m trying. It’s just so hard to focus to even be undistracted by my phone or games or whatever.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize.
It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.
If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was.

For real, I think the reason why the DOGE team is made of such young kids is because if Musk needs any of them to take the fall for a criminal conviction, they’ll been groomed to do so and are too naive from inexperience in the adult world to realize they’ve been made a human shield from the start.

The reporters at Texas Observer have been doing incredible investigative work lately, the kind of work that places like the WaPo used to do with a much larger budget before it got bought up and then slowly hollowed out by a billionaire sycophant who'd rather go into space than live in a democracy.
REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

20 years ago in Florida we wrote all the time about the dangers of climate change & sea level rise. Now that it’s here, and bad, no one acknowledges they were wrong. It became “the insurance crisis.”
This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast.
There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

For anyone who didn’t look into this: Adams was misquoting MLK Jr, who he claims was repeating a quote from Mein Kampf, which is actually a quote from Goebbels.
Basically the worst version of the Michael Scott “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” thing in human history.

The quiet part out loud. But what Watters isn’t saying—and what is most critical to understand—is that the right’s entire model is top-down. It’s funded by and totally in service of capital.
The conservative movement is a corporate counterrevolution, funded by the biggest money in America.

Watters: We are waging a 21st century information warfare campaign from the left…It's like grassroots guerrilla warfare. Someone says something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it.. and by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it.

Hey folks, if ya got a minute... I'd love to see Selaco's score on Steam heal up... Recent reviews are still "Mixed" from hatebombing after recent drama with the Anti-Woke Awards (they ran an ad for the game, dev stated Selaco never asked for one, they got mad).
It's BS, we all know the game rocks.

People in tech talk about the idea of a “10x programmer” — someone whose work is worth that of 10 others. I get the impression Musk etc think they can apply it all over the federal workforce but like… there’s no such thing as a 10x ATC navigational aid maintenance worker. Some jobs just need people.
Abruptly firing people who work in air traffic control is like murdering your own soldiers in the middle of a war.
Even if you think things now aren’t working as efficiently as they should there’s no clear path to recovering from this; it’s just a really extremely foolish and dangerous thing to do.

On the heels of multiple airplane disasters, including one less than a month ago that killed 67 people, and after years of warnings about our understaffed air traffic control system, Trump has begun firing hundreds of FAA air traffic control workers.
