The next administration needs to designate the Republican Party a domestic terrorist organization on day one

I mean, when asked about fixing division in this country, Trump said, and I quote, “I couldn’t care less.”

Every single Republican Senator and Congressman is complicit in this. They can step in whenever they want.

I thought MAGA hated cancel culture. If so, why are they celebrating Jimmy Kimmel getting cancelled over something he said? Seems pretty hypocritical to me…

Opposing genocide is also apparently radical

Fortunately not that part. Apparently there was a scene in the movie where people go into the mall and the technology identifies them and asks the customers how they were liking their recent purchase or if they were still looking for whichever item it was.

I’m watching a presentation by the ad department for a smart TV company, and they literally used a clip from Minority Report as an example of where they’d like to take advertising.

YouTube video by Fox News 'We have him': Trump says suspected Charlie Kirk assassin is in custody

Today, the president of the United States said that he “couldn’t care less” about fixing the country’s division, and that “radicals on the right” (who have committed 100% of recent political assassinations, btw) are fine, but “radicals on the left” are the problem.

Wow, right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was just killed in a shooting at Utah Valley University

Contrary to what you might hear on Fox News or from the White House, a new study found that out of the 50 largest cities in the U.S., Los Angeles is the 2nd safest!

Mehta outlined remedies on Tuesday that would bar Google from entering or maintaining exclusive deals that tie the distribution of Search, Chrome, Google Assistant, o...

Key takeaways:

Google must share search data with competitors

The company can still make payments for product placement, just not exclusively

Threads post by @laurajhawk: “Okay, hear me out: How about we support Gavin Newsome and Cory Booker and Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren and everyone else who’s fighting the good fight, and leave it till later (way later) to worry about who The Candidate might turn out to be? We really really need more than one Democrat doing good things, and also we HAVE more than one Democrat doing good things; it’s not all about the presidency.”

Tweet by @mark.cokenour: “Libs, listen closely: No one’s asking you to vote for Gavin Newsome. Relax. We’re all fighting fascism together. Right now, Newsome is leading that charge. Next month, it might be someone else—and you should back *them* in their fight too. Simple stuff, friends.”
