It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

Democrats need to seriously consider an impeachment inquiry into now-Judge Emil Bove if/when they take back the House.

He led the brazenly corrupt Eric Adams quid pro quo.

He facilitated the Tom Homan bribery cover-up.

And there’s probably more! He was Trump’s hatchet man at DOJ for months!

on the electoral side of things, this is why you need a loud opposition party saying they reject this and will not stand for it. that this country should be safe for people from korea as new immigrants but also for longstanding korean americans.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:

•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court

Seriously: Why the hell not?

The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits!

The secret to Baltimore's extraordinary year This April, Baltimore saw five homicides.

what's happening in Baltimore really gives the game away. a Dem major has drastically cut violent crime with a services-focused approach, even including police too, and none of these people give a shit popular.info/p/the-secret...

Why don’t more scientists support Republicans? We may never know

If the Supreme Court rules that the president can just ignore birthright citizenship, then the Supreme Court is ruling that the president can ignore the constitution—an unconstitutional ruling on the face of it. A Supreme Court that makes unconstitutional rulings is an illegitimate court.

KBJ is basically uniformly correct about everything and ACB is a zealot betraying the public trust in service of a fascist project, anyway, do go on

Emil Bove Is Everything Trump Wants In a Federal Judge A whistleblower report alleges that during his time at the Justice Department, Third Circuit nominee Emil Bove suggested telling a federal judge “fuck you” in response to a court order he did not like...

In a functioning democracy, Emil Bove would be closer to contempt proceedings and disbarment than he is to a life-tenured seat on a federal appeals court ballsandstrikes.org/nominations/...

“I’m a lawyer and I’m going to give you the legal term for what’s happening: It’s fucking ridiculous.” @zellnor.bsky.social

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

it’s crazy how life for everyone has just gotten noticably worse immediately as trump became president again

This is the energy we need to beat these fascist fucks.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.

Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

I have as much time for the "debate over transgender rights" as I do for the "debate over interracial marriage" or the "debate over child labor": none. Transgender people have rights, as we all do.

“Trans dignity is a losing issue for Democrats, Palestine freedom is a losing issue, the dignity of the homeless and immigrants is a losing issue.”

I do not fucking care! Fight for it anyway or give up. What else are we fighting for if not?

I keep getting asked if it’s legal to spend our campaign funds on food drives or our high school public service grants and the answer is YES. It is.

Politicians and Democratic organizations need to use their coffers to help people NOW and fill in the gaps that Trump has created.

The only hope we have for the Supreme Court to enforce limits on the executive is a Democratic president

Moderna withdraws application for COVID-flu combination vaccine Moderna said on Wednesday it has withdrawn an application seeking approval for its flu and COVID combination vaccine candidate after discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

This is absolutely terrible news.

With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage.

Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

With five votes John Roberts can rewrite the law but you don’t need to let him rewrite the dictionary.

Is AI a good thing?

Is it giving her money? Yes? Then her beliefs are not only being infused, they’re being powered by it.

OUTRAGEOUS. The Trump administration says it can point a finger at anyone they say is "Tren de Aragua" and then toss aside the Fourth Amendment!

There is no "Alien Enemies Act" exception to the right against unreasonable searches and seizures our ancestors fought and died for!

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

yes! this dude will back down to anyone who tells him to fuck himself! this is the only response worth having!
