A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

He thinks he's so clever and everyone else is so stupid, trying to scare those with median incomes by telling them Mamdani makes "over $200k." He knows that a lot of people think that $200k is a lot, but I'd bet $1 *his* dollars are *well* beyond $200k- without the transparency.

It Looks Like a School Bathroom Smoke Detector. A Teen Hacker Showed It Could Be an Audio Bug A pair of hackers found that a vape detector often found in high school bathrooms contained microphonesβ€”and security weaknesses that could allow someone to turn it into a secret listening device.

A vape detector used in high school bathrooms and public housing units is packed with microphones; hackers found it easy to turn it into a real-time audio surveillance device due to security vulnerabilities. This is a @wired.com / @404media.co collaboration (fun!).

Billionaires say we need to increase the population so we can have more Mozarts while simultaneously saying we don’t need Mozart because AI can make music better than a human anyway.

They don’t mean anything they’re saying. It’s all just words to hide their greed and white supremacy behind.

Canada is a sovereign country that doesn’t want an invasion. Peaceful or otherwise.
