Yep. Their position is *explicitly* that they can do it and Dems can't -- that's what Trumpism is

The surprising origin of 4 features that superglue kids — and adults — to screens Taken together, these four features can create a trancelike state that can keep us stuck on social media apps or video games for hours. Children are particularly vulnerable.

Palantir manifesto described as ‘ramblings of a supervillain’ amid UK contract fears Alarm caused by posts of Alex Karp, tech firm’s CEO, championing US military dominance and of AI weapons

"It is unclear what inspired Palantir to publish the manifesto" - well, this kind of public speech is a key part of the PR strategy. But we should ask: why it is part of their PR to proclaim political programms rather than focus on just making & selling software? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

their big hard high T levels & muscled warrior man power will obviously subdue any any lil flu germ u cant even see…. just do enuf pushups & the flu goes right out of ur body

Pro-Trumpkin village?

Our Idiot President “Can’t Even Surrender Right” We will get the worst possible result from the least-worst choice.

Jonathan V Last: Trump doesn't understand how he's playing right into Iran's hands. "The regime of international law which previously governed that waterway will not be re-established on a permanent basis. This fact elevates Iran’s strategic importance in world affairs."

Palantir's Manifesto Is as Subtle as a MAGA Hat Palantir's 22-point manifesto is nonsense, writes Dave Karpf. But it at least it is short enough to be clarifying, he says.

My latest, for @techpolicypress.bsky.social

When I read Alex Karp’s book last year, I thought it should’ve been a tweet. Now Palantir has turned it into a tweet-length manifesto, which could’ve just been a picture of a MAGA hat.

Karp is… not a subtle thinker.

This indictment really is absurd. Trump’s DOJ and FBI are accusing the SPLC of sponsoring far-right extremism instead of combating it. Even though the FBI worked with SPLC to combat extremism until last year.

The indictment is ridiculous.

Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.

I’m shocked. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/21/t...

Oh. 👀🙄

BREAKING: A federal appeals court has upheld a Texas law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom.

Students' right to be free from religious indoctrination is protected by the Constitution. We won't stop fighting.

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

Breaking news: The Trump administration’s fundraising arrangement for the White House ballroom project shields donor identities and excludes the White House from conflict of interest requirements, according to records obtained by The Post.

Author @gilduran.com was just banned from “free speech absolutist” twitter for criticizing the Palantir CEO’s manifesto— so here’s his upcoming book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Tesla pioneered flush door handles then the industry adopted them. Now countries are banning them over safety concerns.

@darakerr.bsky.social joined @parismarx.com to explore how Tesla owners are getting stuck inside and why regulators haven’t acted sooner.

Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades and attention problems.

"A major U.S. cohort study suggests long COVID in children may reach far beyond lingering symptoms, affecting how they learn, focus, and connect with friends at school."

Hundreds of Fake Pro-Trump Avatars Emerge on Social Media

This strategy—using fake AI profiles to boost political causes—was tested during the 2022 recalls in San Francisco.
We called them the "Wencils" and they disappeared after being mapped and exposed. And now:

The worst human beings in the country should not be running the country.

the right dominates social media, local media (sinclair/nextstar), & fox news, podcasts, etc- this loud relentless right wing machine is actively shaping beliefs/ perceptions regardless of facts/accuracy & steering voting while portraying Ds in ridiculous ways….

if the right is successful, it must be because the liberals possess some fatal shortcoming or overreached in a way that mechanically produced backlash. the idea that the political right is its own thing with its own aims, can harness discontent and take advantage of contingency is verboten i guess

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?

The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

A GOP proposal would grant the fossil fuel industry immunity from laws or lawsuits.

This would make it nearly impossible for Big Oil to be held accountable for the climate catastrophe they’re enabling.

Once again, Republicans are trying to protect corporate polluters at Americans' expense.

NatCon is the Thiel-backed conference that has helped propel both Christian Nationalism & JD Vance’s political ascension. Its Statement of Principles—signed by (among others) Peter Thiel—was co-authored by John O’Sullivan, founder of the Danube Institute in Hungary. 1/

Everyone needs to read Matthew's latest post, because this is what's in store for all of us at some point--being harmed by HCWs whose inadequate training & supervision are policy choices--unless we mobilize to reverse MAHA's cuts to Medicaid & Medicare

The only bet I'd make about these glasses is that someone wearing them is going to get the shit kicked out of them.

Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades, attention, and social life

Yet another reason to clean the air, encourage routine testing, increase paid leave, change policies that encourage presenteeism despite illness, and create cultures where there is no shame attached to masking

For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.

Emails show Amazon colluding with other firms to raise prices, California authorities allege The previously redacted messages were unveiled as part of an antitrust battle with California attorney general Rob Bonta

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.
