It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

This is an outrageous attempt to sabotage the rule of law in Virginia, all because Miyares is a sore loser.

If the state bar had half a spine, this would be grounds for sanctions: failing to file a meritorious appeal to your client’s prejudice is black-and-white violation of the duty of competence

With Richmond’s update, we have what should be our final totals in VA

Spanberger +15.36%
Hashmi +11.56%
Jones +6.68%

Statewide turnout is 76.2% of 2024

Spanberger finished at nearly 85% of Harris’ vote total, and she also received more votes than Trump 2020 in VA

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.

And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

So to get Tim Kaine to do the right thing, he says we need to make his life personally miserable until he does. Got it, thanks Tim!
Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Trump is pledging to defy a court order requiring him to fund SNAP, and Jason Miyares has refused to stand up to Trump and prevent VA kids from going hungry.

Voters are tired of leaders who won't fight for them, and they'll show that at the ballot box.

No words for how vile and disgusting this is. And dangerous, frankly, to rile up a MAGA mob about not wanting *those kind of people* in this state. Where have we seen this before? 🤔
