Democrats planning to run in November’s midterm elections have been advised not to antagonise pro-AI campaign groups that have amassed more than $300mn to fight for the industry’s priorities. The warnings by top party consultants, corroborated by people close to four different campaigns and party strategists speaking on the condition of anonymity, come despite internal polling for Democrats showing widespread public support for tougher AI rules.

They're calling it the best democracy ever.

Beautifully put. I hope he sees this.

Children killed in Lebanon as Israeli strikes hit homes far from front lines of war with Hezbollah Of more than 2,000 people killed in Lebanon since Israel’s current war with Iran-backed Hezbollah began, 172 are children

You ignore 70% of Dem voters just so you can help your friend Netanyahu commit ANOTHER genocide with our tax dollars! While the country sinks further into debt and disgrace.
What fucking reality do you exist in?

You seem a bit confused. Not voting for Kamala is not the same as voting for Trump. Kamala simply didnt do enough to earn the votes needed to win the presidency.
Trump has nothing to do with that.
As a voter how else would you express your dissatisfaction with the process that led to her nomination?

Iran launches 3 satellites into space amid rising tensions in the Middle East Iran says it has successfully launched three satellites into space, the latest for a program that the West says improves Tehran’s ballistic missiles.

They're not Russian satellites, they are Iranian satellites. Iran are using they're own satellites.

The most “vote blue no matter who” people in my life, the most Defend Democrats-minded people I know as recently as the end of 2024 are now exclusively out for blood and demanding Schumer’s resignation and for Dems in Congress to do total obstruction. Its crazy how far from the base the party is

It's awesome that these protests are more radicalized in tone! Unfortunately, the Dems are still run by geriatric cryptofascists, corporatists, and seatwarmers whose votes are for sale to whichever CEO writes the biggest check. And the party's lanyard class and little hives of cultists don't help.

And a third part is probably things like Dems blaming anyone who criticizes Harris for Trump winning, even if those doing the criticism voted for her. Dems had years to stand up and actually act against rising fascism, but chose not to, and it drove a LOT of voters away. Not just "leftists".

Part of the disconnect may be that bsky gets liberals saying that college kids were wrong to protest genocide and that it wasn't bad that they were beaten and threatened into submission while Dems from Biden to Newsom to Hochul demonized them, condemned them, and signed laws against them.

The right is eyeing us as the next victims for their camps regardless of whether the country balkanizes or some Dem anything short of 21st century FDR becomes president in 2029. Short-term and long-term a lukewarm Dem party will not protect us.

Hate to break it to you, but the camps are already here! If America balkanizes first then at least there's a chance the camps will eventually be liberated by an NCR militia or something

You're wasting your time. The majority of liberals are Islamaphobic.

First you should check with your "Christian Judeo" sisters in the US.
Most Muslim countries are not forced birth.

How US Muslims compare with other Americans on religion, age, education, race U.S. Muslims tend to be younger and more highly educated than other Americans. But they're similar to Christians on many religiousness measures.

I wondered if he saw this one? "44% of US Muslim adults are college graduates, including 26% who have a master’s, doctorate or other postgraduate degree. In comparison, 14% of Christians and 16% of religiously unaffiliated adults have advanced degrees."

Amazing how much room there is in the big tent for Islamophobes and tech bros but how fast the tent shrinks when it comes to admitting genocide is wrong.

Centrist corporate Democrats hate and fear nothing more than a successful and popular leftist. Because they represent the one thing that could genuinely jeopardize the centrists grip on power in the party. It's why they were sooo reluctant (and some even refused outright) to support Mamdani in NY.

Cory Booker, Ruben Gallego and Elissa Slotkin all say they won’t go on Hasan Piker’s show.

But they’ve all been on Bill Maher, who says Islam is like “the mafia”, the Muslim world has “too much in common” with ISIS, Muslims bring “desert stuff” to the west, and has also used the N word on his show

Why is the @australianlabor.bsky.social government allowing women actively involved in an illegal war to travel in and out of the country while @albomp.bsky.social has 'contempt' for another group coerced into going overseas by their bullying husbands? www.australianjewishnews.com/israeli-fema...

Woohoo!!

does anyone else find it suspicious and weird that as the nazis consolidate more and more power the Online Liberals get louder and louder in their denunciations of everyone to their left?

​​We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year.

Meta got $13.7 BILLION.

Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND.

Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them.

We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

Over 561,000 people (including those already living in the US for decades) are now blocked from obtaining legal permanent residence. Work permits, green cards, status adjustments: all frozen with no statutory authority cited.

The State Department is actively instructing consular officers NOT to tell applicants they're banned, even as those applicants pay fees and attend interviews.

Cubans are the most affected: nearly 1 million blocked applications totaling $543 million in fees. Venezuelans follow with 239,000 applications and $138 million. Nigerians, Afghans, Haitians, and Iranians round out the top groups.

Sponsoring a spouse costs US citizens up to $2,675 in fees alone, $675 to petition, $1,440 to adjust status, $560 for a work permit. The government is cashing those checks and then doing nothing. That's fraud not delay.

A December 2025 proclamation alone blocks 1 in 5 legal immigrants from entering the US. It covers major origin countries including Cuba, Venezuela, Nigeria, Haiti, and Iran, with no end date and no refunds for fees already paid.
