True redemption doesn’t usually involve an increase in power and influence for those redeemed, and we should be wary of those who try to gain those privileges from a pose of repentance.

My kids have measles, there are no jobs, and the country is at war. But at least now I can buy raw milk with my HSA card.

Someday, before I die I hope, Americans will come to realize that not choosing the lesser evil means the greater evil wins

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

And now he's finally cornered himself in a situation where he *can't* just walk away, at least not without accepting disasters that *will* be felt at home (like Iran wrecking global energy markets).

Trump's at his *fucking WORST* when cornered. Expect the insane batshittery to accelerate further.

Staffer: Sir, good news. One of the F-15 pilots ejected safely and is on the ground. Calm and cool under pressure. Badass aura. A video taken by a thankful Kuwaiti civilian is going viral.

Hegseth: Fuck yeah. What's his name?

Trump was never a peacemaker. He was always a guy who would say whatever he could to get elected, stay out of jail and fill his coffers. Those who fell for his bullshit were suckers.

Israel and Saudi Arabia organized the war against Iran, Trump is loaning them the US military and paying them with US lives. It's not that hard to understand.

Trump's actions this morning were unconstitutional and bear enormous consequences at home and abroad.
The stakes of speaking out against this administration are higher and more urgent today than they were yesterday, which is exactly why we are taking to the streets on March 7th. We will keep you up-to-date on where things are transpiring with how we may be incorporating this into our planned actions, and we look forward to seeing you out on the 7th. We hope you join us to make our voices heard.
Save science, protect health, and defend democracy,

The President of the United States has joined forces with his Israeli counterpart, a genocidal butcher, to start a war with Iranβ€”because he doesn’t want people to find out that he raped children.

If Americans can’t figure out why we’re starting a war with Iran, then frankly they don’t deserve to know.

aside from the AI angle, what makes the Anthropic case important is that it is -- unless there is something I am forgetting -- the first time a major tech company has stood up to Trump instead of accommodating him

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song β€œLet Down” without permission.
