The people who have been saying, "Garbage in, garbage out" for 30 years trained their LLMs on Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook, and somehow expected them to be smarter than people?

I don't support reform, because it's not enough and it's pointless without enforcement. Demolish ICE and impeach SCOTUS

Americans Want Accountability With the Epstein Files. Elites Couldn't Care Less Each new document drop makes clear that elites operate with impunity. It's high time to banish Epstein associates from public life.

Every new document drop reveals more about how our elites operate with impunity. We need to cast the creeps out for good.

Trying to LOWER the minimum wage for countless workers — including those just getting a start in the workforce.

After voters in both states approved minimum wage increases. And while the nation struggles with an affordability crisis.

The GOP agenda.

Rule of being a person of color in the US: no matter how successful you are, it's not gonna matter to the racists, who are gonna suspect you for having taken something that belongs rightfully to them.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text.

Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

I think it’s supercool of the authoritarian panopticon doorbell company to name themselves after the demon video that kills you in 7 days; almost as cool as the authoritarian panopticon precrime software company to name themselves after the evil demon orb that puts its users in thrall to Sauron.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

1. Does this look like a criminal to you? He’s FIVE FUCKING YEARS OLD. His name is LIAM RAMOS. He is here LEGALLY, as is his dad. He lives in Minnesota. He’s been kidnapped and imprisoned in a concentration camp in TEXAS.
I have never had such rage in my heart and I don’t know what to do.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

they're collaborators at this point, that's the only way to see them

Highlighting:
That's not the MN State flag anymore.
A major reason for the change was specifically blatant racist, anti-Indigenous imagery.
It is a specific choice to use this flag.
Minority extremists use the old flag as a dog whistle.
The Vice President is prominently dog whistling.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen

I’m seeing a lot of people post that Spanberger has ended the ICE contracts.

She may well do so soon (it’s only day 2), and we’ll keep you informed, but that’s not what she did yesterday. The contracts are still in place — she would still have to decide to do that.

this is just straight up murder by the regime

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns

the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

WHAT THE HELL

Trump has the law broken to honor a traitor, Confederate General Robert E. Lee Congress ordered all monuments to and base names honoring Confederate leadership, men who rebelled against the Constitutional government of the United States of America and attempted to overthrow it, ...

"Has the law broken?" What is this, the passive aggressive voice? Do better @boingboing.net

Third Amendment enthusiasts it is OUR MOMENT

The media has already forgotten about two Dems murdered and two injured in Minnesota.

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it!
8/8/25

We need a huge cross-section of society, engaging in diverse tactics- not just protest, but strikes, slowdowns, leaks, refusals, gumming up the works, ridiculous art, coordinated disruption, a whole range of things to make it impossible for those who intend evil and do harm to execute their plans.
