New England Progressive For decades our government - on both sides of the aisle - has been in league with the oligarchs in violation of federal antitrust laws. Let them know that We, the People, will not consent. #RollingStrikesNOW

This is how the tech bros will tank the economy and drive us all into unrecoverable debt.

17X worse than the dotcom bubble.

🔥🔥🔥THIS IS MORE THAN A FIVE-ALARM FIRE.🔥🔥🔥

only three states, his included, have sued federalizing the Nat'l Guard and deployment of the military.

While it's not common, *(there are only eight who have,) with his seemingly stellar record as governor - and the all important name recognition he now has - he'd have a very good shot at it.

We can only hope that allowing his LEOs to cooperate w/ ICE sinks him. People have short memories and

Peaceful #protest in #Portland:
“I always thought people must be provoking them or something, that they would never do this unprovoked. Obviously, I was wrong,” says Laurie Eckman, 84, of Portland after federal agents charged her and her 84-year-old husband, knocking them to the ground.

I didn't know how much this older couple attacked by "federal agents" in #Portland were injured! My original post was based off of an article in The Oregonian and this was not included. The 84-year-old man was using a walker and he was clearly marked as a #veteran.

That also means it costs $27,000 to deport each person. What if instead we spent that money giving #refugees sanctuary from gangs and terror? Or just on our own healthcare and live and let live? What a great nation we could have.

All my life I worried about the anti-democratic vulnerabilities of my country. Europeans said I talked like an American dissident. I've always been a patriot, and I am so sorry I was correct about where we were headed.

Honestly I'm starting to just not care. With Pritzker's weird press conference about Trump stealing 2026 while ordering zero action, of what use is he or any dem as an actor at this point? Even relative to their normal pathetic uselessness?

Among the more obvious differences, this was about using the Alabama National Guard to enforce federal law *in Alabama*, where the state government was defying court orders.

Note that even in that much more extreme context, Kennedy used the Alabama National Guard, not some other state's.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 23h

Trump just posted what looks like an old DOJ memo about President Kennedy’s use of the National Guard in Alabama to desegregate schools in 1963.

It’s a gross comparison, given the fact that Trump is basically George Wallace and he wants to use the Guard to invade cities, not advance civil rights.

Like Newsom he's hoping to take the Oval.
This is all performance.

Though, Pritzker has played the long game, like the GOP and all the oligarchs have always done.

The Dems abandoned us decades ago. It's all been performance since then.

I believe that's exactly what's he's going for.

Maybe you can tell him to stop his police forces from helping in ICE's reign of terror.

This Chart is INSANE…AI is a silent killer

Since ChatGPT launched in Dec 2022, U.S. job openings fell over 40% in 2022 from over 12 million openings to now only 7.23 million.

Meanwhile, the stock market keeps climbing higher than ever.

It’s a strange picture: Stock Market is at record highs, while workers get laid off.

AI is essentially boosting company profits, but at what cost to human opportunity?

This detail about the Palisades arrest is wild:
While on the phone with 911, Rinderknecht allegedly typed a question into ChatGPT: “Are you at fault if a fire is lift because of your cigarettes,” according to the criminal complaint. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Authorities announced the arrest of 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht, who is suspected of setting a fire on New Year’s Eve that eventually became the Palisades fire.

Thanks for posting this. Absolutely terrifying. Expecting a BOE very soon.

seachange12.bsky.social @seachange12.bsky.social · 6h

Oh, thanks. That's strange. Everything I've read recently by others (many on Reddit, but also on the Linux forum itself) have said the opposite when it comes to people who have no significant tech experience. There a lot of us who fall into that category - unfortunately.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

Cordial reminder that Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva holds the final signature needed to release the Epstein files. Speaker Mike Johnson continues to delay her swearing-in—canceling House votes for the second consecutive week despite urgent legislative business—
