The Trump regime granted the suspected shooter asylum earlier this year.

Now they are taking his alleged crime out on all Afghan nationals seeking entrance to the US.

Another ban. Another excuse for violence and deportation.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

I don't think we're going to have a successful Amazon boycott till we break their monopoly on indie books.

They have a clever strategy to build their monopoly, which any functional government would have banned: if you want your indie book listed in Kindle Unlimited, you have to be exclusive. 🧵

This is disgusting.

Ronald Reagan refused to acknowledge the AIDS crisis. Even refused to help his "friend from the Hollywood days" Rock Hudson.

George W. Bush waited 7 years to recognize World AIDS Day.

And now we are back to a POS GOP POTUS who will ignore it.

Trump is set to double his golfing taxpayer paid expenses from $151 million in his first term, to exceed $300 million in his second term.

The two messages for AI targeted at two different groups. For group 1, “AI is an amazing tool you can use it to replace all your employees & contractors.” For group two, “yes it’s crappy, broken and wrong. it steals your value. it will ruin the environment but it’s here so get used to it.
