You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them.

There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”.

You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not.

People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

they're treating a Nazi takeover of the federal government as no big deal and the possible election of Zohran Mamdani as the end times. it's a remarkable job of failing to meet the moment, and the most revealing sign yet they don't want to do anything at all except cling to party power.
the anti-Mamdani crashout among status quo Dems (amidst a federal fascist usurpation no less) might well be the final harbinger of "whig irrelevance collapse" i've been expecting all these years

This looks like a concentration camp.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Une fois de plus, si tu payes déjà normalement tes impôts, tu n’auras pas à payer plus puisque la taxe Zucman est un impôt plancher.

Ce que nous dit ce gars, c’est qu’il parvient à se soustraire à l’impôt.

Saw a TikTok today of a woman who went to the doctor for a biopsy, and when the results came back, confidently announced that she didn't believe the results, because she had described her condition to ChatGPT, and it had a different opinion.

Yeeeah.

The hallucination machine is gonna kill people.
a relative interested in my work told me their search results claim i'm married to three different women. they did of course do an AI search, and the AI search in question has mixed me up with two other chris boyds. please stop using the content theft marriage hallucination machine

85% des Français sont pour la taxe Zucman. Mais on a vu une très forte mobilisation des grandes fortunes qui ont utilisé leurs propres médias pour renverser la situation.

Food aid has never been cut off during a shut down.

Secretary Rollins is refusing to use USDA emergency funds for SNAP.

She was also the one who said no amnesty for farm workers because all the “able bodied” Medicaid recipients can do their jobs.

They want us sick, hungry, scared & poor.
Exclusive: USDA says it won't use emergency funds for food stamps
States also won't be reimbursed if they cover SNAP expenses on their own, the memo says.

Today is the day  Mr. Hummelgaard wanted to push through a vote on Chat Control in the EU Council. But he failed! 🎉 

However, Chat Control will be back.

#ChatControl is nothing but a Trojan Horse for citizens and businesses in Europe. Why?

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.
Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

Le technosolutionnisme appliqué aux médias et à l' "objectivisation des débats".

Il faut avoir aucune maitrise 1/ théorique du journalisme 2/ théorique sur la technique pour afficher ça. C'est désolant de la part d'une direction d'un service public de média.

Tous ces gens de droite élus grâce à un réflexe républicain d'électeurs de gauche qu'eux-mêmes refuseront d'avoir, et qui se sont empressés dans la minute de cracher sur cette même gauche tout en faisant des câlins idéologiques et sémantiques à l'extrême droite...

Et pas que chez LR
Rappelons que sans le barrage républicain, LR & ses candidats auraient été totalement essorés en juillet 2024.

Eux, les principaux bénéficiaire du réflexe républicain (sur 45 duels avec l'extrême droite, 38 gagnés).

Refuser aujourd'hui (& demain ?) de faire barrage à l'extrême droite en dit long.

Selon L'Obs le ministre de la Justice a été voir Sarkozy pour l'assurer de son soutien dans un procès qui l'oppose au PNF. Et le même ministre, re-nommé malgré ça, propose le nom du nouveau directeur du PNF.
