Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

I think for me it’s less weakness than bald hypocrisy. They don’t fight for the values they claim to hold because they don’t hold them. They had no problem fighting their base on Palestine, fighting partners on policing, and fighting colleagues on safety net spending.

AI tools can't be trusted as experts on the First Amendment or the nuances of speech. Using AI to scour visa holders’ social media for “pro-Hamas” posts and report them to an administration threatening to deport international students for protected speech will undoubtedly encourage self-censorship.

Curtis Yarvin wrote that “as the crappy govts we inherited … are smashed, they shld be replaced by a global spiderweb of…independent mini-countries, each governed by its own…corporation w/o regard to the residents’ opinions.” This reminds me of DOGE, “Network States,” & “Freedom Cities.” You? 1/

Neguse: A member of Republican leadership supposedly told his caucus that a not a single one of them should participate in a town hall. Why? Because they are scared of their own constituents.

A photo of a rally in Daley Plaza, Chicago, shot from the statue. A large group of people are standing together in square, facing people who are speaking on the right hand side of the frame. Many people are holding signs and banners.
Now: a few hundred people gathered in Daley Plaza, Chicago, to protest "the current presidential administration, its plutocratic allies, and its unconstitutional efforts to overthrow the government of the United States"

A global realignment in the works for years, something the Right hasn’t even tried to hide, is coming to fruition.
Oligarchs are blatantly carrying out a coup.
The Democrats make it clear what they see as the problem: the people and an imaginary “left.”
See it. Know it. We have to organize. Now.

US defense tech startups are being shut out of Europe’s defense market
2023: Data security is a major part of this. Earlier this year, Germany’s highest court implemented stringent rules that restricted the country’s law enforcement from using data tools like Gotham, Palantir’s domestic policing product, on privacy grounds

Trump to a reporter who asks him about Russia breaking a ceasefire: "What if a bomb drops on your head right now ... Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt."

This is a bigger scandal than people realize.
It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.
If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was.
Putin.
