Everyone needs healthcare. We need to fund it like we fund roads, collectively. No one thinks of roads as rights, but they think of withholding access to roads as a punishment. That is what our healthcare system does-witholds healthcare as a way to control us.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Fuck them. Visual representation of our government being demolished on an assholes say so and that's is is worth caring about. A lot.

two women are standing next to each other with one saying please do Alt: Rachel and Phoebe (white women) from Friends are jumping up and down saying "PLEASE DO"

If my grandpa (who gave my kid rush limbaugh's "childrens" books) were still alive, I'd steal this idea.

We need universal health care. Our current system is cruel and wasteful and so stupid.

Damn it. My wife is telling me to go to urgent care to be checked for strep but I'm resisting cause my throat doesn't hurt thaaattth much.

May the abx be swift.

During the government shutdown, President Trump:
 
- Raised $250 million from billionaires for a ballroom
- Gave Qatar an Air Force facility in Idaho
- Doubled Argentina's bailout to $40 billion
 
What happened to America First?

Not just companies making money. States using it as a major part of their budget.

I took one advanced stats class in grad school and we did matrix math on paper. It did help me understand what I doing even though I'd have to refresh pretty hard to ever teach it.

Imitating the results of human creative labour while blackboxing the processes behind (which largely consist of acts of appropriation, extraction, exploitation & waste of energy) is what genAI is all about. Presenting it is a neutral guide means depoliticizing a highly political technology

I've been using tidal this year and liking it. Longtime user of bandcamp but it's really limited.

That's roughly what qi kits cost. Machery-nagel usually has identical kits for half the price.

Magmax? Does that cost include plastics?

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Clark Construction and Aceco — neither have permits for this project. Aceco's Asbestos licensure was cancelled over two years ago.

They should lose their licenses, get sued. It might stop other companies too. Normally a 2-3 year process for drawings, planning, permitting. All illegal (ofc)

DOGE's Plundering of Data Hastens Calls to Tighten Government Privacy Laws | TechPolicy.Press Federal and state lawmakers are eyeing privacy updates in response to DOGE's use of government data, Gopal Ratnam reports.

Our case’s goal “is to ensure that the DOGE agents are kicked out of the OPM systems & that they have deleted any information they may have copied,” along with plugging any holes from this unauthorized sharing, EFF’s @mariotrujillo.bsky.social told @techpolicypress.bsky.social.

That quite literally is what laws are.

Everytime i drive through Waterbury, i say i have to visit that.

The founders created impeachment for acts far less corrupt than this

The threshold is too high here to be a reasonable check.

At least all their high school teachers are using the same platform even if in different ways. Middle school, each teacher used their own system-some paper, some online.

My kid has C in 2 math classes because they assumed that this year teachers' were using the online math homework tool the same way as last year's math teach. But they weren't and the 0s didn't show up in the grades I can check till it was too late. Sure kid should have "read the syllabus" but 15.

It's such a weird hill to die on. Dude had a good campaign launch ad, cool. Oh nazi tattoo? Bye.

Where's the next with a good campaign launch ad and maybe even some experience?

Neither he or the bros thought yhat video should only come out in conjunction with removal vid/pics

I listened to the platner interview even though i knew it'd be fauning bro fest from Tommy. I can't believe self proclaimed communication specialists didn't push him to cover/remove the tattoo rather than just announce it as a tots normal thing.

Yeah, the bar should be much higher for someone who's trying for a federal level job as their first election because they're asking for trust in their untested abilities.

He shared a video with the pod save bros showing the tattoo.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

The President took a shit on Americans, then demolished the White House in the span of less than a week and the talking head establishment just shrugs like this is a normal state of affairs.

I wonder if that new ballroom will be big enough to hold a Nuremberg trial.
