I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.
The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

JD Vance flew all the way to Italy to get booed! Donald Trump is too cowardly to fly to California and receive the same. One’s too dumb to realize how he’d be received. the other is too fragile.
Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

So much of GOP conspiracy land is simply not understanding how counting works. No one is ever “ahead” or “behind” until the counting is over.
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

Wasn’t Trump going to end the Russian war against Ukraine in the first 24hrs of his 2nd term?! Instead he sends a uniquely unqualified envoy for optics of working on a peace deal, but in reality has just been dragging their feet for over a year to allow Russia to continually escalate their killing.
⚡️ Update: In largest missile attack of winter, Russia targets Ukraine's power plants amid brutal freeze.
Russia launched 71 missiles and 450 drones, including nearly 300 Shahed-type unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), at Ukraine overnight, the Air Force said.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

making tulsi gabbard DNI is itself a watergate level scandal
Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.
Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her Agency
Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.

Yes. There is so much pedo stuff in the Epstein files… But there’s also so many more domestic and geopolitical scandals to be uncovered… for instance, all his conversations with Steve Bannon re: Mueller report, China, Russia, etc… perhaps @andersoncooper360.bsky.social would want to revisit this.

Every time I see someone like Abbott choose self-inflicted decline, I think of this quote from Pedro Sanchez:
"Spain needs to choose between being an open and prosperous country or a closed-off, poor country. It’s as simple as that."

This is a very powerful video from comedian Josh Johnson. Not just because what he says that's meaningful. But because it shows an emerging trend that high profile people have finally started speaking up, despite concerns it might alienate their followers.
It is time to choose sides.

A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.
ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Hopefully Bruce can be an exemplar to a younger generation of artists/celebrities on how to use their platforms against fascism. 👏
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

if you're looking to learn about what are some of the lowest-hanging fruits in terms of local elections in places that directly help ICE, this is for you:
NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.
These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*
So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.
