We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Someone needs to tell CBS that at some point you bend the knee so far that you are just kneeling.

Speaking Ill of the Dead It is okay to speak ill of the dead when speaking ill is all the person merits.

James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, and who dedicated his life to hating and diminishing others, has died. I wrote this back when Pat Robertson, a man of equally immoral character, died, and it still applies: it is okay to speak ill of the dead when speaking ill is all the person merits.

Lest you all think I’m picking on some poor uneducated woman who just got swindled by the GOP’s lies, she is in fact a professional.

Trump’s trade victims are shrugging off his attacks And China is gaining in the process

"National Guard is not trained in policing actions"
"it actually negatively impacts military readiness"
"young soldiers and airmen are political props"
"This, in contrast, is where we should not have military on our streets, in our American cities. It is absolutely the way that dictatorships run"

There's a reason they didn't release the names of the people who authored the report, they literally aren't even doctors with medical experience. An MIT philosophy professor is one of the authors.

As you know, school boards all over have been takeover by conservative activists who've targeted books and the rights of LGBT students.

Trump's attack on ActBlue's "dark money" was backed by dark money Elon Musk helped fund an effort to gin up fraud claims against the donation platform.

Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to back Trump last year, much of it through dark money PACs that shrouded their spending in secrecy. If Trump really wanted to crack down on secretive election influence efforts, he would start not with small-dollar Democratic donors, but with Musk.

America is a nation where the rich and powerful have reduced Christianity to just another tool to exploit for their own interests at the expense of the very people Jesus called us to serve: the poor, the hungry, the sick, the stranger, and the oppressed.
