Oh, yech. However, I do approve of redistricting as an enforcement of boundaries.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

I told the mycelia about you and it wanted me to tell you to not worry about today. They said “just absorb nutrients for now, you’ll grow big mushrooms later when the weather is right and your roots are ready”

This is a Revolution, not a reaction. Democratic leadership isn't going to save us. There was a brief period of hope for me right after the election that at least one of them would step up, quickly and intensely, to do something. And since then, I have been thoroughly disappointed.

WE save us.

Will Congress Legalize Mark Zuckerberg As Your Therapist? The House Republicans have put forward a proposal that says states cannot make laws that regulate artificial intelligence or 'automated decision-making.' Conservatives should be upset about it.

The Energy & Commerce Committee has just advanced a bill that would prohibit states from regulating AI or any 'automated decision making' systems. They are putting it in the budget bill. 🙄

Meta's AI therapists, for example.

"Last week marked six months since the election — and in those six months, more than 45,000+ people have signed up to run for office. That’s more sign-ups than in the entire first three years of Trump’s first term."

Is trump Rigging the 2028 Election Right Under Our Noses? From Russia to Musk’s Computers, Here’s How He Might Steal Another Election

Is trump Rigging the 2028 Election Right Under Our Noses?

Yes! Musk and Thiel's brogrammers are Cylons. They can get in with just of nanosecond of digital connection. And public election offices are unskilled and naive.

In 2024, lobbyist spending reached a record-breaking $4.4 billion — a $150 million increase from 2016. That is absurd.

It’s time to stop billionaires from using their wallets to control Washington. We need to overturn Citizens United and ban PAC and lobbyist donations.

SOLAR CONSUMER ALERT: State of California is proposing to break our solar contract. Solar Rights Alliance

I just called Gov Newsom's office and my state reps about the Governor's request to break our solar panel contract. I'm new at calling, and kind of phobic, but I'm going to get over it now.

@mikethompson.house.gov I would like advocate for you to co-sponsor and vocally support Ro Khanna's Political Reform Resolution.

I don't want to go back to the way things were. Gov need to empower the working class to have the biological basics; not create a peasant class for the oligarchs.

Today, the ultra-wealthy get to stop paying into Social Security for the rest of the year, while working class Americans continue to contribute with each paycheck.

Without the cap, Social Security could be protected and expanded for millions of seniors and Americans with disabilities.

@porkbun.com I have a philosophical question. Does your love of pigs mean you eat them or not. I love bacon... but have recently found that pigs are too sentient, if not sapient, to eat.

I'll be an early adapter of lab-grown bacon.

Heard about your product thru Ryan Postell of Codestitch, FYI.
