The nyt has failed completely.

Excuse me he's not paying himself. Our tax dollars would be paying him. He would be putting our money into his pocket.

Well the NYT supported Hitler until they didn't.

Ok we get it. We completely understand what Trump wants. The important question is what are you democratic politicians going to do about it. Would please get creative and loud?

He needs the military to support his fascist government. That's why he's paying them and that's the story. Once again nyt follows the bright shiny thing.

Such a mean man. Twisted.

I like to tell this story because it's good to be reminded that it is not random that our voice-activated services were built to sound like women and be treated like slaves.

It was done on purpose, by people who knew better.

In the late 2010s, I was friendly with some people who were in the room during the meetings where Apple decided what its Siri should look and sound like.

They argued that voice-activated tools should not be built to sound like women because it would propagate misogyny. They were overruled.

Happy New Year - the birthday of the world

I saw that too. Pitiful.

The democrats need to run a younger person than Mills. The old guard clesrly has not been able to protect our democracy or our rights from MAGA authoritarianism - they need to let go of power. Haven't they learned anything since the Joe Biden debacle in 2024?

Taking Action in Higher Ed Taking Action for Higher Education is a workbook to assist university workers in assessing personal risk and making decisions about how and when to take action to resist fascism.

Reread this short guide to responding to fascism in higher ed this morning.

I have very mixed feelings about how increasingly resonant it is proving to be, but also I hope it will prove helpful and maybe comforting as we watch current events unfold.

Definitely not a moral compass - remember Jewish lasers? But she probably knows someone close who's been sexually abused as a child and let me tell you that fuels a rage that never ends and is focused like a laser on abusive men.

SCOTUS relies on the confusion and chaos they are creating. It's the point.

All of them make me sick to my stomach

I can't breathe after reading this.

It's likely that many of these same people were applauded as "essential workers" during the pandemic.

Labor day weekend is as good a time as any to prepare to respond to the season to come.

It already came to central Massachusetts. The strip mining imagery is perfect. Question: do normal caring people go to get their MBAs and come out this way or are they morally bankrupt when they go in?

Potus doesn't understand anything at all about large scale economics - his monetary competency is in the area of the self serving grift. I can only imagine the many ways Vance has learned from his master to rob and terrify the American people.

Horrifying

He is that destructive a man.

Agree. Schumer and Jeffries are weak and just don't seem to understand what's happening in this country. They should not be the voices of the democrats anymore.

They did it to our local hospital in central Massachusetts . Now we don't have one. People need to drive a long way to get medical care at hospitals which are becoming overwhelmed

They do seem to be rolling over.

Heartbreaking.

Whenever men get away with abusing women or children or other men it's a national disgrace.
And the victims may suffer their entire lives - a national tragedy.

What are they doing besides fund raising.

I hope those so called leaders haven't abandoned all of you who live in Washington DC . Resist.
