Trump’s 79th birthday was met with one of the largest mass protests in U.S. history. At one rally, a 102-year-old Holocaust survivor warned: “Trump is trying to imitate Hitler."

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker.

What am I worried about?
-Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East
-cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration)
-Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs)
-Allied assistance (we’ll need that now)
-Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Thanks for this. With much going on, I totally forgot about this. Our military and Vets HAVE to get involved as well as our Congress ASAP.

Please read the whole article as it confirms what we are seeing and hearing from Trump's lying minions: "ICE’s deportation agenda is not what is being advertised to the American public. ICE is not interested in prioritizing public safety, yet it constantly pretends that anyone who objects to its

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 97 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The U.S. Army swore in four Big Tech executives as Lieutenant Colonels:
- Palantir’s CTO
- Meta’s CTO
- OpenAI’s Chief Product Officer
- OpenAI’s former Chief Research Officer
All of these people are surely connected to fascist Peter Thiel, as Zuckerberg (Meta) and Altman (OpenAI) are his protégés.

“If Trump Cares About Fighting Antisemitism, Why Did He Pardon These Jan. 6 Insurrectionists?”
Some praised Hitler. One wore an ‘Auschwitz’ hoodie. Another gave a Nazi salute. The MAGA insurrection was a festival of antisemitism.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

I've had a secret theory for a while that I guess I'll just throw out there:
The right is inevitably going to turn on AI, not because LLMs hallucinate or get things wrong, but because they mostly *get things right*, and reality, as a great man once said, has a liberal bias.

Lawmakers in MN were attacked this weekend. It’s a reminder of the rise in stochastic terrorism - rhetoric that leads to real violence.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you.

"An old fashioned term that we use, 'asbestos.' I [should have] used it on the campaign. It's such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Asbestos. It says [it's fibers] with different [minerals] in it. Asbestos went through the roof and I [didn't] campaigned on [it but I'm bringing it back."]
