Is this bringing back the company store where workers are forced to shop because they are only paid in company scrip? What a hellish idea!

Twilight Zone? Have we entered the Twilight Zone? This is just insanity.

All the protests have been nonviolent so far - arresting and assaulting the over-55 group will not play well on the nightly news. Let’s keep the momentum going without martial law being declared and then add on.

I cannot express how happy it makes me to hear Musk and Tesla get trashed, total joy!

Thank you - I needed a good belly laugh😀

Thank you and please pass along a thank you to all the people involved!

Vote no on cloture. The government is already shutting down and the United States is devolving into a pariah nation.

Yes, I am

I bet this will factor into property insurance rates as it cuts down on preparation time for bad weather.

Shared!

I am reading ‘Pathogenesis’ and a sentence just grabbed me. ‘Such expressions of compassion are widely understood to be one of the key characteristics of a civilized society; indeed, for the anthropologist Margaret Mead, human civilization began when we started to care for the weak and sick.’

Nice! And, it is not a pleasant day, at all.

I will need to move first!

Passive resistance at this point is useless. Useless - litigate - protest - get on Sunday morning tv - get clips. Do more!

Do it all - go to a grocery store and add 25% to regular products that will be affected and make a video. Go to a car manufacturer and shoot a TikTok, go on a podcast - get angry because you should. Boring long statements don’t resonate with anyone.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Lindsey Graham would say the same thing if Trump had the inspectors general executed in a public square. I can’t believe he can stand upright without a spine.

In my defense, I was high.

The emotional and financial toll potential prosecution would exact is taking an awful risk. I think taking the pardon is a very wise choice.

Yes, we know. I thought it could not be worse having Jordan as a representative for my district. I was so wrong.

So corrupt but that seems to be a plus for Ohio Republicans and Republicans in general.

I had forgotten that! Now, her performing for the convicted felon makes sense.

Nothing says Republican Jesus like posing with an arsenal for the Christmas card. Such a perversion of faith

Trump evades responsibility while Biden accepts responsibility for the entire United States. Trump will never think first on how to help or provide a solution to a crisis, he will always pop up with an excuse about why it is someone else’s fault/problem. Four years of this

Four years, four fucking years of embarrassing senility

IO

Sadly, I believe you are correct. And, still no helping hands from Republican politicians, just shame and blame the girls and women.

The House Republicans stripped out a provision from the last budget bill that would have prevented Musk from transferring tech to China. So, it is China and Russia to whom we are being sold.

Lol

Could this be in the future for the deportation camps Trump and his followers want to build? Contracted out prison camp labor for corporations to underpay while camp owners make hideous amounts of taxpayer money?
