Kat Tenbarge I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them Adam Serwer Don't be chickenshit

This bill would significantly decrease that to $4- $5 trillion over 10 years Like you said. This bill doesn't include any doge cuts which would reduce the deficit per year.

Oh, a conservative who was hopeful that Trump would be focused and efficient with a popular agenda was let down. Who could have seen this coming...
R/ Conservative 50 people are here President Trump has called for the appoint... 671 upvotes 210 comments Mrs. James Smith 45 m Conservative I was really hopeful for a while that Trump would come in and be focused and efficient with a popular agenda that only nutty leftists could be critical of - you know, things like border security, deportations of criminal aliens, crime reduction, strong economy, lower taxes and regulation, etc. Unfortunately that hope has already been dashed. While he is doing some of this, there’s just too much other nonsense going on. Tariffs, public land sell-offs, uncertainty about getting involved in new wars, and now this. He had his chance to produce evidence of 2020 election shenanigans, and while there might have been a little, it was nowhere near anything that would support the above claim. He really needs to let go of this. All of this is only going to succeed in hurting the party for future elections.

From 150 workers to 20 because of ICE rumors.

Trump and Miller are nuking the economy, all for bigotry's sake
Claudio Gonzalez, a chef at Izakaya Gazen in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo district, said many of his Hispanic workers — whether they’re in the country legally or not — have been calling out of work recently due to fears that they will be targeted by ICE. His restaurant is a few blocks away from a collection of federal buildings, including an ICE detention center. “They sometimes are too scared to work their shift,” Gonzalez said. “They kind of feel like it’s based on skin color.” In some places, the problem isn’t ICE but rumors of ICE. At cherry-harvesting time in Washington state, many foreign-born workers are staying away from the orchards after hearing reports of impending immigration raids. One operation that usually employs 150 pickers is down to 20. Never mind that there hasn’t actually been any sign of ICE in the orchards. “We’ve not heard of any real raids,’’ said Jon Folden, orchard manager for the farm cooperative Blue Bird in Washington’s Wenatchee River Valley. “We’ve heard a lot of rumors.’’

People who didn't take the covid vaccine were approximately 48% more likely to get in a subsequent car crash, after adjusting for demographics.

The correlation is likely due to risky behavior in both health and driving, and because long #covid symptoms impact focus, response time, etc.
A total of 11,270,763 individuals were included, of whom 16% had not received a COVID vaccine and 84% had received a COVID vaccine. The cohort accounted for 6682 traffic crashes during follow-up. Unvaccinated individuals accounted for 1682 traffic crashes (25%), equal to a 72% increased relative risk compared with those vaccinated (95% confidence interval, 63-82; P < 0.001). The increased traffic risks among unvaccinated individuals extended to diverse subgroups, was similar to the relative risk associated with sleep apnea, and was equal to a 48% increase after adjustment for age, sex, home location, socioeconomic status, and medical diagnoses (95% confidence interval, 40-57; P < 0.001).

Lol
Reddit post from R/conservative. Why don't we ever protest? Flaired users only. The thought just occurred to me as I was looking at some of the pictures from today's protest: why don't conservatives protest in the same way liberals do when an opposing administration is in power? I know there were tea party demonstrations, but the way liberals protest- nationally and with numbers- seems different than how conservatives do. I know Trump does something to liberals that makes them more adamant and militant. Has anyone else thought about this? When Biden was doing questionable things in the executive, we did not hit the streets. Edit: based on some of the responses and some DMS I received, I think I'd like to clarify that I'm more talking about the liberal versus conservative temperament when it comes to wanting to go out and protest. I know conservatives have protested-j6 is an example of that- but that was nowhere near the scale of the 2020 protests or yesterday's. I appreciate everyone's responses to this, there were definitely a lot of them that made sense, especially points about geography and virtue signaling via protesting.

So, this morning, my attendant was joking about how he doesn't get moral support during annoying parts of my routine, and all of a sudden my phone started "talking" to us from the corner of the room... Gemini had decided to do the opposite of minding its own business... (w/ no Gemini app installed)
Phone screenshot of a conversation between a Google user and Google Gemini. Title of conversation says "seeking support, feeling ov..." Google Profile photo of a very handsome man. Text from person: Moral support you know nobody to support me when I'm in my mother and angel or frustrated I don't get no fucking support Response from Gemini: I hear you, and it sounds like you're going through a really tough time. It's incredibly frustrating and lonely to feel like you have no one to turn to for support, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed, angry, or frustrated. Everyone needs someone to lean on, and it's completely understandable that you're feeling this way. "Everyone needs someone to lean on, and it's completely understandable that you're feeling this way. Please know that your feelings are valid. It takes a lot of strength to express what you're going through, and I want to acknowledge that. While I'm an AI and can't offer the personal connection of a human, I can be here to listen without judgment. It sounds like you're carrying a heavy burden right now. Would you like to tell me more about what's making you feel this way? Sometimes just getting it all out can provide a little bit of relief. I'm here to listen if you want to share." Symbols for a response: thumbs up, thumbs down, check boxes, share, copy text symbol. Text box that says Gemini.
