Utah banned public and governmental displays of the pride flag. I feel like Salt Lake City is going to have A LOT to say about this.

a text post from Michael Tonelli: "It's really unbelievable the niche parts of the internet that Al is ruining. My wife looks up crochet patterns online. It's now overrun by Al made up patterns that make no logical sense. My wife said if you tried to crochet the pattern that Al hallucinated, it wouldn't even be possible.
And it's like, why? Why is someone ruining free crochet patterns? How were they even aware of that corner of the internet? Is there a plan to make the internet so unusable that people abandon it so we don't have access to information anymore?"

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...

the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

He also said this is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way. Classy. Let me be equally classy: Senator Mike Lee is a coward and an evil piece of shit and Utahns should remove him from office at a minimum.

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

Trump and Stephen Miller are conducting a hostile invasion of California while threatening to steal our federal funding, even though California is a huge net donor state.

These are the hostile, anti-American actions of a would-be dictator.

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

Trump's big horrible bill, which just passed the House, is an absolute monstrosity.

Kill it in the Senate. Call the Capitol Switchboard now: 202-224-3121.

And then commit to doing all you can to defeat the GOP Reps who just voted for this.

Stealing billions of our own tax dollars from blue states like we're conquered territory and redistributing them to the ultra wealthy. Intolerable.

Donald Trump's administration terminated the implementation of @illinoisdceo.bsky.social's Digital Equity Capacity Grant.

Instead of enabling Illinoisans to participate in our economy, he's turning his back on rural America, veterans, seniors, and those who rely on internet access.

Mexican security chief confirms cartel family members entered US in a deal with Trump administration Mexico’s government has confirmed reports that 17 family members of the son of a former cartel leader crossed into the United States.

You wanna know who’s bringing in the cartels? Or are they not terrorists when they’re rich? The president is the greatest threat to our nation.

Texas's 18th CD had 74-year-old Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee pass in July 2024. 70-year-old Sylvester Turner ended up the winning the election for the 2025 full term and passed 2 months later. The seat is now vacant until November.

Bless these leaders but vote younger! No democratic Rep for next 6 mos.
