Those soldiers seem to think it's pretty funny, too. And I'm being honest with you, speaking as a veteran, those guys don't want to be there. They're away from their high paying jobs getting paid dog shit, they're away from their family, their friends, etc. and they know it's all theater.

The man @jollygoodginger.bsky.social is trolling the national guard with the song arrest me but make it sexy. It's costing 1 MILLION dollars a day for them to stand around for political theatre. Talk about a waste of money!

Russia Steps Up Disinformation Efforts as Trump Abandons Resistance

We're ceding ground:
“Trump has dismantled the American government’s efforts to combat foreign disinformation. The problem is that Russia has not stopped spreading it...reckless destruction of all elements of America’s soft power is clearly leaving the field vacant for others to rush in unopposed.”

Anyone who lives near these Trump signs on Biden projects needs to put up other signs that tell the truth. Can we get some nearby billboards please?

Hey Netflix, now might be a good time to add Roots (1977 miniseries) to the livestream library. A dose of Kunta Kinte is what America needs right now. #history #remember #museum

NEWS: DNC Chair Ken Martin says TX State Rep. Nicole Collier was threatened with a FELONY charge for speaking on a press call with him, Cory Booker, and Gavin Newsom.

I’m cry-laughing! 😆🤣😆

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

Go Brian.

“If ICE was a military, it would have the 16th biggest budget in the world. You wanna talk about America First? Think about all the things we could do in this country, like giving a [hurricane] warning system to these folks in rural Texas, instead of plucking brown people out of their homes.”

The real lesson of the Grok meltdown yesterday is think of the unimaginable power of controlling one of these platform scale LLMs if you don't go as over-the-top as "I'm Hitler 2.0 let's hurry up and gas the remaining Jews". If it's even slightly more subtle immense possibilities for info dominance.

Depraved indifference mass-murder IS STILL murder.
Rep. Scalise was shot in self-defense by an unwell American, terrified of losing their access to health care because they knew it meant their death.
Proving he learned NOTHING, @stevescalise.bsky.social voted to strip Americans of health care access

"As floodwaters in Texas rose in the early morning of July 4, a local firefighter petitioned for an emergency alert to quickly be sent out, but local officials do not appear to have followed his request until about an hour later, according to leaked audio."

The Independent

A child’s life and home, taken away overnight by Trump’s cruel and inhumane mass deportation policy.

This is not who we are as a country.

Like Trump’s first inauguration parade.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.
