Joe Biden and the 2021 Democratic caucus had only one job really and it was purging the entire insurrectionist party from office as quickly as possible by any means necessary.

There is a word for a unitary executive that has the power to commit the military forces of his country to a war on nothing more than his own authority, and that word is not "president"

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

3. Sorry - one more thing.

If you're wondering why call Congress? This matters, especially if you have a Republican member. They like to pretend they're the party of national security.

Embarrass them. Demand to know why they didn't know about this. Ask how they feel having their power stripped-

Everyone running for public office needs to unequivocally say whether they support Trump’s attacks on Iran β€” attacks which put hundreds of millions of lives at risk.

My answer is an unequivocal NO and there’s no excuse for a candidate to say anything different.

if you’re in Oregon (or AK, GA, KY, MD, ND, NE, NM, NY, OK, SD, WI or WV) we’ve got info and call scripts to help you contact your senator (yes, even Republicans!) before 6/22

one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable

that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed thr...

Not a bit; recent study shows LLM users genuinely just have less brain activity overall because of LLM usage: arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872

It literally is a machine that makes people dumber. Safe to say that the long-term effects are probably even worse for kids.

If I want apples and you want oranges a compromise is "let's pool our resources and buy both so our needs are met"

If I want apples and you want to shoot me in the head, the compromise can't be "I get an apple but you get one free shot at me"

U.S. Senate: Contacting U.S. Senators

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes.

You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that.

Please share as well.

This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT.

Don’t let them spin it any other way.

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series.

Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in.

J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

The not posting on the internet part is VERY vital. And I know in recent years a culture of "if you're not posting you're not doing anything" has bubbled up, but for real guys.

You need to be thinking. And planning. And never putting it in writing on the internet.

Protect people. No matter what.
