Why do they care about Cuba? What’s the point of this?

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

If this offends you, you are the problem.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors

"As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

As a totally anecdotal measure of how normies are fed up: I’m on a peloton Super Bowl ride right now where 80 people are riding with #AbolishICE as their leaderboard tag

Allowing stark inequality and extreme concentrations of wealth in the hands of a few is, at best, playing Russian roulette with democracy. /🧵

What we call “enshittification” is really the capitalization of everything.

‘We want to take over’: All the (recent) times Trump has talked about controlling elections Trump's allies are starting to translate his anti-democratic statements into actions.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax dollar for this filth.
