Good Q @SarahKSilvermam

“.. at some point, you have to ask: How much is too much? At what point is a line finally crossed? .. At what point are you no longer supporting your country, but supporting one man, and all of the ugliness he brings to the table?”

I cannot over-emphasize how important it will be for people to make a plan to vote early in-person this year.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

They made up a whole story about a White House staffer posting ut in the middle of the night, and Trump just goes Leeroy Jenkins and says, "You're goddamn right I ordered the Code Red!"

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Where are all the idiots who have defended Trump against claims that he's a racist?

He's a virulent racist...and if you support him, you are, too.

I said what I said.

Finneas and Billie

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

Yes! I caught that one and it was very interesting. I didn't know he was the one who pushed for democracy dies in darkness, which he adopted in early 2017 - while still with mackenzie and before he and that other one they started their affair. Interesting

It takes this village. I kinda got you probably got it. Important to flag disinformation

He was not evil, just regular human greedy. I blame them both thanks. The point is who you partner with has a significant influence on which direction you lean into and if you aren't hard wired for integrity (most people are not), it is easy to devolve into the worst self when with someone like her.

Yeah, that had fake all over it. However, this article is important because it has blueprint. Note GA as a target, and GA seems to be the test run now. They used FBI this time, but it looked like a training exercise - not about 2020, that's the smoke screen. It's about the midterms.

Democracy Under Occupation What we’ve learned in Minneapolis

"I don’t know how other people react when they get bullied, but I don’t back down when I get bullied. I fight harder. Everyone I see out here is like, What do you think—we’re gonna quit? We live here."

Not in this way.

Corporatist fascism, plain and simple.

This is unconstitutional, and Congress must shut it down, before we turn into East Germany.

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.
