My not-everything-is-books-and-cute-cats account for checking in on what the activists and politicians are saying. And maybe just a few cute cats...also at https://thisiswhywefight.substack.com/
This. All. Of this.
Elon Musk appointed 19-year-old Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, the grandson of a KGB lieutenant colonel to DOGE. He was instrumental in cutting funding for the United States Agency for International Development, which directly resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of poor people overseas.

Of all the fucking things they could do with AI, they do THIS. So, if you don't understand why I won't be persuaded to let this toxic tech into my life, here's my answer.
"And I never say no"
We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Who does this nitwit think the "federal tax payer" is? As a federal tax payer, I don't want to pay for terror police, private chauffeurs for girl friends, an supply of portable pill up bars, or gold spray paint, but I don't get a choice there.
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

And Republicans everywhere are perfectly happy to let this madman continue to destroy us.
Trump: We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population. They say Denmark, but Denmark has no military protection. They say that Denmark was there 300 years ago with a boat—well, we were there with boats too I’m sure.

I've never been good at math but I've never been Trump-level bad at math. I might have gotten better grades though if Lutnick was my teacher.
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

If these rumors are true, and the maniac in the White House does declare war tonight, there's some important truths for the American People to hold up:
1. This is a war being declared in our name.
2. This is a war being funded by our dollars.
3. This is a war where the US military is the bad guys.

Maybe this is why I'm not a Beltway journalist, but I think the fact the United States is about to invade Venezuela to take their oil is an 100X bigger story than Trump's chief of staff going on the record with Captain Obvious characterizations of their dysfunctional regime

I had a womb. For medical reasons, I no longer have a womb. It's like the gallbladder I no longer have, not a vital organ. This idiot thinks it's the only thing that made me a woman?

The correct response to this - if Republicans have any integrity left - is to publicly acknowledge the president does not hold that power and they are there to represent THE PEOPLE of Indiana, not to protect the unpopularity of the president.
One of the most blatantly authoritarian threats in a Trump term full of them

I think the public is already there, we're just waiting for these Republican members of congress to remember what their jobs are.
Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”
