Monopoly Round-Up: Why the "AI God" Narrative is Actually a Corporate Power Grab The AI cultists went into overdrive this week, Meta got the creepiest patent imaginable, and AOC attacked monopolies to burnish her foreign policy chops.

NOT 👇 SURPRISED.......

imagine if thomas massie read aloud the list the victims gave to him of people not included or redacted in epstein files that were released. i think he def should do that.

Don’s right. Let’s impeach him.

This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism?

BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism

SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism?

BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

Californians deserve a Governor who works for the people, not the billionaires.

Here’s the proof

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

I like what PB says, it’s just a bit Pollyannish.

That which doesn’t stop DJT makes him stonger.

Neither Congress, the Courts, the Administration or the voting systems are willing/able to stop him.

And there are a variety of powerful interests willing to support him.

The future is dark.

Masking isn’t about doxing or protecting ICE. It is to promote fear and helplessness.

ICE is our least competent ‘security’ force. It’s inconceivable that ICE is meant to keep our Olympic team safe Milan/Cortina.

Instead, ICE serves to throttle any protest by our Olympians.

Very Hitlerian

It’s driving me a little insane to see all this “protester” lingo.
Like yea there are protests..

But if masked, armed thugs invade your neighborhood and terrorize your community, standing against that is not “protesting”.

That’s an attempt to maintain safety. The government made itself the danger.

Awhile back, I suggested mere peaceful protests wouldn’t stop Trump et al.

This was proven by our recent Federal policy & practice, domestic & global.

Trump is insane and won’t stop until he is dead.

Don’t be fooled by performative changes at DHS

ICE @ the Olympics is a map to the future.

So.

To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar.

Not defunded. Not trained and restrained.

ABOLISHED.

Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.
