'No Kings' protests against Trump planned nationwide, in what the GOP calls 'hate America' rallies Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, people will gather Saturday in the nation’s capital and communities across the U.S.

The group that cries foul about over-the-top political rhetoric is trying equate protesting Trump’s authoritarianism with “hating America.”

Hypocrites. This country was founded on a rejection of authoritarians like kings and it’s pro-American to protest them.

Continuing my journey through Hades (yes the 1st one) as I try to get the true ending unlocked before I pick up the sequel.

Starting to get some consistent clears, but we'll see how I do on stream tonight. Come on through.

Are Republicans refusing to swear in Democratic representative-elect Adelita Grijalva to prevent a vote on the Epstein files?

I don’t like to think of US politics as a game where one team “wins” and the other “loses.” I think of it in terms of what would benefit Americans, versus what would only benefit a person or a party.

Extending the health care subsidies would help Americans. No clue why this is controversial.

If you ever think the state of the union is beyond hope or repair. Keep in mind that that the masked pissbabies who want to act tough and beat non-white people are being out maneuvered by regular citizens in inflatable frog suits.

These are the heroes, the real strength, fascism is run by cowards.

Since this site is getting cozy with the shitheels already, time for a quick purge:

If you support Ice, The fascist takeover of this country, or the genocide in Gaza, kindly perform the following:

1. Fuck off into the sun.
2. Unfollow me before you perform no.1

Thank you for your cooperation.

From the law community on Reddit: Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said Explore this post and more from the law community

This is so concerning. I really don't like the implication that Miller -- and probably the current administration -- interprets title 10 to give the president "plenary authority," or that CNN edited that part out.

Keeping this simple.
If you use Gen AI: Stop
If you watch Gen AI content: Stop
If you use chatGPT or other AI chat garbage: Stop

Gen AI is one not actually artificial intelligence, two, is NFTs/Crypto 2.0. It is a massive grift by corporate pigs.

Stop Using and interacting with Gen AI. Period.

Same guy who declared bankruptcy 6 times shut down the U.S. government 4 times in 5 years of being President. They wanted him to run the government like his businesses and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

I am also aware that having basically unlimited data for uploading videos is not sustainable, which will eventually contribute to loss of functionality, but none of that is made better by having a monopoly.

Does YouTube have any actual competitors? It feels like the most similar social media platforms don't really do what YouTube does.

Being a monopoly would certainly explain why YouTube keeps getting worse.

Exclusive: US scraps Justice Department task force that took on cartels, documents show The U.S. Justice Department is closing a task force that took on drug cartels and an office that aimed to ease racial tensions, in a reorganization that drops a plan to merge the nation's top drug and gun law enforcement agencies, documents seen by Reuters show.

The Justice Department eliminated 275 positions and shuttered its Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces. The restructuring affects 140 federal employees through elimination or reassignment, marking the largest DOJ reorganization in two decades reut.rs/4nxYuUg
