There are a lot of generalizations in this piece, but I love the premise that young people are sabotaging AI roll out.
I want to make a list of those tactics. That sounds like valuable information to share.
if there is a path to either national nonpartisan redistricting or proportional representation, it is going to go through one party or another. but the first step toward it actually happening is for that party to win power, and you go to war with the system you have, not the one you want.
The Trump regime doesn’t like the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling hate groups as hate groups, so it’s weaponizing the Justice Department to try to destroy the SPLC. This is DOJ taking the side of the Klan.
Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
Yet again, the thought: how is this not embarrassing to him, to his followers, to everyone? How is this revelation alone not enough to end his career, to make him a universal figure of mockery? How can anyone support, or respect, or fear someone so viscerally *pathetic*?

FPF joined >250 journalists in a Monday letter urging the organizers of the White House Correspondents' Association dinner to forcefully oppose Trump’s attacks on press freedom.
The press shouldn’t stand up to applaud the man who attacks them daily.

Taking us back to a greater era, World War I, when we had a War Department, there were no women in combat, & more soldiers, sailors, & marines died of flu & pneumonia than died in combat.
I really don’t understand why he wants Americans to die?
Even from a selfish perspective, doesn’t he want more people available to fight his unnecessary wars?
Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
You were amazing, thank you. 😊
Also lmao at Tim Miller, “that’s all you’ve got lol?” 😂
I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.
It was worth it.
It's raining over here 👉🏾 🌧
Not sure if you can see the banner.
It's says, "Cheeto Christ Stupid Czar"
Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.
There's just gotta be a line somewhere.
Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.
"There is no Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Steve Bannon, or Trump Organization in an era where white collar crime is prosecuted with anything close to the vigor of the lowest-level drug cases in a major US city."
This will never not be right to me.
Went on Piers Morgan today, where I was able to confront Pete Kegseth's Pastor, Doug Wilson, who wants to end the 19th Amendment, create a Christian Supremacist nation, & believes slavery was "mutually harmonious."
Yeah, it didn't go well for him.
I was able to reference Pulp Fiction.
Out later.
No surprise that ICE prioritized rapid hiring & expedited training to execute Trump’s mass deportation agenda — with a $50k signing bonus.
The outcome? Watered-down background checks & a selection of underqualified agents, including officers with misconduct histories in prior law enforcement roles.
Terrific news from Maryland in a thread that applauds competent, ambitious, effective Dem lawmakers. Huzzah!
You’ll likely never see oligarch-owned media reporting on this success, much less giving credit to the Democrats who are improving people’s lives.
But they’re out there! Read all about it:
Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed.
Get big money out of politics.
Strengthen unions and boost wages.
Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more...
This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for.
It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.
The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
If you want perspective on it there’s a book

NEW: Flight data reveals that the LAPD's "Drone as First Responder" program—sold to the public as a public safety measure—is in fact being used to spy on anti-ICE/anti-Trump protests in Los Angeles.

“Because they were completely clear-eyed about the stakes.”
YOU PEOPLE THINK MAYBE WE COULD TRY THAT HERE?

Good news for New Yorkers, bad news for rats: all trash will be in rat-proof bins by the end of 2031.
No more black bags on the sidewalks — it’s time to put a lid on it.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.
In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.
Former President Barack Obama met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for the first time Saturday, joining preschoolers at a child care center for a book reading and singalong.

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.”
America’s Mayor can’t miss.
