“A West Virginia man called into CSPAN telling them how the MAGA voters are scared of what's happening in this Country even though they won't admit it publicly. He said that he's a diabetic & when Biden was in he only paid $6 dollars for his insulin & now under Trump it's $60 🤬”

Keep it up everyone!!!

If you’re ok with vouchers being used for ski trips or piano lessons but not ok with SNAP benefits being used for pizza or cupcakes, it’s not the use of public money you have a problem with.

It’s that you think wealthy people deserve perks and poor people deserve to be poor.

If USDA refuses to follow the law and use reserve funds to continue SNAP benefits, what grounds does it have to enforce program rules?

4 GOP senators join Democrats to rebuke Trump on tariffs for a third time this week A handful of Republicans joined Democrats to vote against President Trump's emergency tariffs against Brazil, Canada and other countries. But the votes were mostly symbolic and unlikely to become law.

ICYMI amidst all the noise this past week — In a series of three votes this week, a slim majority of the GOP-led Senate delivered a rare, bipartisan rebuke of President Trump's use of emergency powers to set #tariffs on #Canada, Brazil and other countries.

They weren't when the other guy was president.

Who also hadn't laid off the federal workforced, slashed government funding, imposed illegal tariffs to spike prices...

Bessent believes that President Obama is an alien Reptilian and that pedophile Trump is the second coming of Jesus.

These corporate media puppets keep bringing this tool onto their propaganda outlets to try and spew fascist ideologies and they wonder why nobody watches them anymore

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Folk were mad at Obama for being in ad for California’s prop 50 cuz Kamala wasn’t

Sometimes dems seem to love just being miserable with party leaders even when party leaders do what Dems say they want.

And, it’s also VERY important to be engaged about the midterms coming up. Do whatever is in your power to help get this 👇 math changed. We cannot let republicans continue to control every branch of government. Spread the word about how important upcoming elections are.

Sen. Ossoff on Republicans’ disastrous agenda shuttering Georgia hospitals:

“If mom is going into labor, the last thing you want to be worrying about is, gee, is it gonna take us 45 minutes or an hour and a half to get to an obstetrician? Particularly if you’ve got a high-risk pregnancy.”

As of this morning, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (AKA: SNAP, Food Stamps or EBT) recipients STILL have not received their benefits. Meaning, they are unable to buy food. Because I h been both a SNAP recipient and a state caseworker who processed SNAP applications, I thought I should do

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

The U.S. is terrorizing citizens, disappearing people to other nations prisons, withholding SNAP, refusing to swear in representatives, keeping Gov closed, threatening war against Venezuela to kill “cartels” and Nigeria to save “Christians” from terrorists funded by his ME pals..

‘Opposing the inevitability of AI at universities is possible and necessary’ | Radboud University Since the widespread release of ChatGPT in December of 2022, AI has taken over much of the world by storm – including academia. Most of this happened with very little pushback, despite a myriad of iss...

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

1) every time LLMs have been tested for coding it has been found it makes development slower, although it feels faster

2) they are useless for "general enquiries" because they have no mechanism to detect truth, they just spit out likely text in a way that emulates human produced output

Federal taxes have never been lower in the past 65 years. Taxes aren't a punishment. They're a public responsibility. Stop letting the rich define their greed as anything but a shirking of that responsibility + a middle finger to us all.

That's my TED talk.

I wonder how many of those complaining that President Biden & the Democrats "didn't do anything with their trifecta while they had it" are now in a complete panic as they see their ACA premiums skyrocket?

(Dems tried making the tax credit upgrade permanent but were blocked by Republicans + Manchin)

I had another discussion with someone on Medicare who hates socialized medicine. You can hate it or not, but Medicare is just a European health system that covers one part of the population.

Recently my brother in law explained what gerrymandering was to a coworker and they didn’t believe him because if that were really happening there would be riots in the street

Citing Trump Order on “Biological Truth,” VA Makes It Harder for Male Veterans With Breast Cancer to Get Coverage A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer. The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive orde...

Male veterans are encountering obstacles in getting treatment for breast cancer in the VA system because of Trump's executive order meant to oppress trans people. I say that again: non-trans men are struggling to get treatment for breast cancer due to transphobia.

Writing Classes Are About Writing, Not AI-Aided Production If we want students to learn to write, AI tools shouldn’t have much of a role. If we don’t think students need to learn to write anymore, I’m not sure what we’re doing here.
