“The president orders the military into the capital on an absurd pretense and illegally seizes control of the capital police force” is not a sequence of events that is remotely difficult to interpret, and it’s disgusting to watch our political and media class pretend to not know what’s happening

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference.

This is what rising fascism looks like.

The White House ordered heavily armed military soldiers to arrive outside a press conference by a dissident governor and just stand there.

Wearing masks to conceal their identities.

What is being done to the country I treasure, and the freedom my ancestors fought for, sickens me beyond words.

Did you know that the Founders were so vehemently against having a standing army that might do what Comer is calling for that they explicitly wrote into the Constitution that Congress has to reauthorize the existence of the Army every two years or the entire thing has to disband?

We’ll never stop hearing about it if he gets it though

He’s chat gpt in human form

The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off.

"I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.

17k btc?!?

Low expectations much?

I want to push back hard on the idea that we can ever exist in a post-truth world. The world is what it is and sheer will to believe otherwise can't keep it at bay. We've always lived with lies, self-delusions, and vast ignorance. There's only so far we can push in to pure fantasyland and live.

You can't just make up economic numbers and gut vaccine programs and control alt delete science and expect your society to remain functional.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Pete Buttigieg is like if Chat GPT were a human

True but if cert is granted, it’s over.

Or Washington DC

They aren’t actually against tyranny. They’re against inconvenience to themselves.

This technology passes the turing test (which just 5 years ago people thought would never be possible).

The appalling thing about the “LGB Without the T” gays isn’t just that they abandoned the most unfairly demonized people now when all of our support is so needed but that they still pat themselves on the back for being out-and-proud freedom fighters

Apple Anti-Corruption Policy Corruption can take many forms, but most often it occurs through bribery. At Apple, we do not tolerate any form of corruption in connection with our business dealings. If you are unsure of the proper course of action, or whether something constitutes corruption, contact Business Conduct. Bribery A bribe is offering or giving anything of value to any person for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, or securing an improper advantage. You cannot offer or receive bribes from any individual, regardless of whether that individual is a public official or a private party. Anything of value includes cash, cash equivalents such as gift cards, gifts, meals, travel and entertainment, and can also include a promise, or guarantee of something of value. Anything of value can also include job offers. Apple does not offer employment of any kind, including internships and contract positions, in order to obtain or retain business or gain a business advantage. Please refer to the Anti-Corruption Recruiting Policy for additional information.

And every year, Apple employees have to sit through mandatory compliance training only to watch the CEO publicly violate it.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

Andrew Cuomo & @andrewcuomo • 10m 0 ... Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman@ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment. You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You've had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich. Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it. We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it. Yet your apartment remains rented to rich people who don't need it. Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity. Time to move out.

Cuomo has truly lost it.

WASHINGTON (AP) - US Air Force says it will deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service.

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.
