which is why every time you socialize instead of giving in to scrolling alone on your couch you are helping defeat the republican project of making everyone as lonely and afraid of everything as they are. defeat fascism, have a coffee date with a friend

I would really like to see more Ds speaking up to defend her. this is ridiculous and horrific.
Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.
Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.
He continues to be a national embarrassment.

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

I do not understand Mayor Johnson’s opposition to raising garbage collection fees $10 a month.
Buildings of six units or more do not get municipal garbage and recycling collection, so this would predominantly impact single-family homeowners and people in 2/3 flats.

JMU is ranked!!!! at No. 25.

Russia and China being geographically large great powers is treated as a physical law of reality, they've been that way since time immemorial, and everything must be done to preserve the status quo because them shrinking or losing world standing risks consensus reality itself
a while back i was talking with a pretty normal (but pretty red) friend of mine and he just casually asserted "unlike america, china has never waged a war of aggression"

A whole lot of words for “the nuremburg defense is valid, actually”
Law prof Josh Braver notes the problem of 'manifestly unlawful' when the civilian legal authorities *say* it's lawful -- and thinks least bad outcome is the military maintains civilian supremacy even if acting illegally. Many (most?) civ-mil relatios scholars agree.

Right, what it boils down to is just a simple material question of what to do with surplus beyond basic needs. Do we use it to build in ("inefficient") redundancy like batteries and hospital beds that mostly sit there unused until they're *very* needed, or do we give rich guys some more money?

every neoliberal policy analyst wants to "trim the fat" of society until the lean times come. community level resilience, redundancies, etc are good actually
When power went out across all of Puerto Rico on 16 April, a lot of the lights in the town of Adjuntas stayed on. A combination of experimental microgrids, solar panels, and storage kept power on for many businesses and residents.

Execs thinking LLMs are gonna mass replace jobs says a lot more about them and their work than it does about the chatbots
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

If there is a Dem Congress and President, I think the best route is much simpler. Congress can pass, and the President sign, ordinary legislation declaring that Trump's pardons are void, and then strip courts' jurisdiction to review. And then send the cops to get them.
Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.

I don’t understand your point. But if you’re talking about making new rules, remember that the framers of the constitution did not pay any attention to the amendment requirements of the articles of confederation when they were scrapping it.
