AI was created by those who cannot find joy in process,in Art,in the beauty of the fail where you dust yourself off and learn. Its true attribute is in the assistance of making connections that might have taken months or yrs to discover.It assists,should never replace. Environmental cost is too high

If the ID I use to drive and fly, it’s not enough to vote, that’s voter suppression and a poll tax

Do we need any more proof that we are no longer a functioning Country designed by our Constitution. We do not have any confidence in our government at all, period. When given countless opportunities to save us they fail at the simplist of tasks. Blood is on their hands and hearts. Foulest of humans.
Rep. Massie: “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”
You know what I wish was powerful? When faced with being expected to justify “liberal or progressive” ideology (I say morality…but that’s another layer) I just want to say “sorry, my time is too valuable to waste on stupid people”. Can we all just adapt this and hopefully stupid will just evaporate
Clearly we are at an easy time to define. People at the top have chosen profit over human dignity without few exceptions. The ball is in our court on how we chose to stop it or lose access to dignity.
Jesse Jackson adapted his “I am Somebody” speech many times, never more memorably than this moving 1971 Sesame Street appearance. RIP. youtu.be/iTB1h18bHlY

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.
DHS, tell us again what a great job that you’re doing.

Please, Do not trust Lindsey Graham as far as you can throw him. He is a Putin insider at the table to glean information and set you up to believe him and then for him to betray America over and over again. There is NO bipartisanship in America today.
AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ
The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow.

I’m thinking Devon Island in Canada
Where is the detention camp everyone in the Epstein files goes to?
Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Know what your politicians are up to and you will know what they are capable of and not. Schumer will sink us all.
I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Taken from “Ghosts of Mississippi” 1996. This movie should be watched now to see where we have not dealt with this horror and by doing so have let evil back into powerful positions. The shame is unbearably deep and catastrophic.
In his landmark civil rights speech President John F Kennedy, on the very night that Medgar Evers was murdered, said “We face a moral crisis as a country and as a people. Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality.”
Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.
AOC: Why haven’t so many people been prosecuted? Why are Pam Bondi and the DOJ continuing to hide the majority of the Epstein files, which they admit contain even more direct evidence of genuinely shocking crimes and abuse of women, minors, and increasingly men…

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
