Ok I give up on ‘Centrist’. I have my own definition but people see it as defending the status quo and compromising towards the right. Progressive policies focused on workers have the best chance of expanding our anti-oligarch and antifascist coalition.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

Like other crime bosses, trump does not want any part of the economy to proceed unless he’s in the middle. The farmers are supposed to be grateful he saved them from his own stupid and malicious policies.
"Trump set to unveil $12 billion farm aid package, Bloomberg News says"
lardass trade policies are responsible for farmers losses.
Just another $12B to the national debt.
$40B in farm aid during lardass' two terms (so far).

Everybody should listen to this. It’s fine that Bernie didn’t get into it but Americans should remember that China will have similar or better capability for AI including military applications, whatever we do. We gotta get this right and prevent a whole range of oligarch-driven disasters.
The threats from unchecked AI are real — worker displacement, corporate surveillance, invasion of privacy, environmental destruction, unmanned warfare.
Today, a tiny number of billionaires are shaping the future of AI behind closed doors. That is unacceptable. That must change.

Trump behaves with cartels the same way as with nations, businesses and everybody else- extortion and bribery wherever you look, paid in crypto. Cartels compete to bribe him and deploy US military against rivals like afghan warlords did. El Salvador same.

Yup. A reminder here that physical therapists just lost their ‘professional’ status so no student loans and fewer therapists for our future.
My doctor: "congrats on your broken foot bone healing so well! You still must be careful with it! Here is a referral to physical therapy to help you with that!"
Physical therapy: sounds great! earliest we got is 48 days from now!
Great system we got here, the greatest, none better.

Re: the #abundance dialogue; the more I learn about AI the more I think a 'post-fulltime-employment' economy in the US is inevitable and potentially wonderful. The 'potentially' part involves distributing the benefits to all citizens rather than oligarchs. A full progressive takeover is needed.

Fact check! There is no mercury in any current vaccines. There is plenty of mercury exposure, plus arsenic and dioxin, caused by smelters (deregulated by trump) and burning coal. Oh, and spraying forever pfas on our food is totally fine. Dirty donors doing us dirt cheap.
