GOP gave $20 billion to Argentina yesterday
Lisa McClain: "Democrats' plan forces taxpayers to cover the majority of emergency medical costs for all non-citizens. Another $28 billion tab for who? You guessed it, the American people."

Point of view: It’s March 2, 1930, and you are a fairly liberal German. That being the case, you buy your go-to Sunday paper, „Vossische Zeitung“. On page 5, you find a note on the funeral of the young Nazi Horst Wessel, who had died a few weeks after being shot. [A #Vossische1933f prequel.] 1/

By quickly pushing people to believe that the elderly, disabled, poor, and others were a necessary sacrifice, the ruling class and corporations primed the public for more fascist incursions. They observed how many give in to destroying one another and themselves.

For those still on the fence about naming Zionism as the ideological force behind the genocide in Gaza, this is all zionism has ever presented to Palestinians. This is all Palestinians have seen at the hands of zionist colonialism since 1948: destruction, theft, extermination. That is what it is.

Everyone is rushing to defend Graham Linehan as some martyr to free speech but don't actually state what he tweeted. He explicitly called for people to violently assault trans women in the bathroom.
In another instance, he cyberstalked a trans minor. He's legitimately a danger to trans people.

I expected a lot of what we're experiencing (and to be real, for some bad things to happen more quickly than they have), but I still wasn't emotionally prepared for all of this, because some things will fuck you up, even if you know they're coming—like folks living in fear and needlessly suffering.
Does anyone feel like they were prepared, emotionally and intellectually, for the current political moment? There are certain things I was ready for (convergence of local and border policing), but for example the rise of granola fascism (RFK and COVID reaction) kind of blindsided me

I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad.
New: A few weeks ago, when my father-in-law died, the funeral home asked if we wanted to use AI to write his obituary. So I dug into it and found that it's the biggest new trend in "death care." Tens of thousands of AI obits have been made already. Often the families don't even know wapo.st/4okuxIg
