The No Kings Rally start point in Seattle.

90,000 people show up for something like this, and whatever Democrats we have in office barely seem to be moved. 40 guys in camo with AR-15 stand in front of some capitol, and every legislator says they're listening attentively.

I hate the preview - it negates the point for anyone who doesn't click through. Need to figure out how to fix that. Sorry anyone who actually pays attention.

Reality? It's NEVER actually been about the children. For proof, just try to change the topic to any support for actually-existing children, and hear how fast the topic pivots back to cost.

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

The Nazis learned it from us.

This week's comic on the radical libertarian fantasies of colonizing Greenland

TOMORROW (Tuesday) 9AM in K-12 subcommittee — Rep McKenzie & Sen. @jeffyarbro.bsky.social have a bill to force Tennessee to track how many kids using @GovBillLee’s vouchers are already in private schools

Q: Why wouldn’t they track that?
A: because it’s most of the kids, and they know it.

“In retrospect it was kind of suspicious when the President hired 80,000 guys with masks and machine guns and sent them to cities that didn’t vote for him.” —@DangerBrooks h/t Brian Tyler Cohen

WTF are you doing reposting year-old gossip columns? Fox is already on the Spurs, Poole/Green has been a dead issue for over a year.
This is stupid.

I back you 100% on all your points.

This is the takeover of the Union by neo-Confederates, and this time they've taken the capital. The MAGA core are misogyists, racists, and all other types of bigots wrapped up into one big authoritarian lynch mob. And ICE are the stormtroopers, SS to the bone.

"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month

The racist flank of MAGA is exactly the neo-Confederacy, and I've been calling them that since the Confederate flags showed up all over the Tea Party rallies. They've been fighting for the Lost Cause for 160 years, and they've finally taken the capital.

The court document below is NOT new. I reprinted it in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT when discussing Trump's history with Epstein. Others also covered it. It was publicly available. Garland of course knew too and protected Trump. And Dems protected and defended Garland. Why pretend otherwise?

American food safety could be headed for a breakdown More Americans will be exposed to foodborne illness as a result of this year's funding cuts, food safety experts predict

Trump sued by preservationists seeking architecture review over White House ballroom project President Donald Trump has been sued by preservationists seeking an architecture review and congressional approval over his White House ballroom project.

"The National Trust argues that Trump, by fast-tracking the project, has committed multiple violations of the Administrative Procedures Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, while also exceeding his constitutional authority by not seeking congressional approval for a project of this scale."

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Dr. Ellie Murray, ScD: Some of y’all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal. Regulations don’t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

Please don’t rip us off and upload our work on Internet Archive or YouTube. We are working hard and spending a lot of money to get these films restored and screened around the world. They’ll eventually be on blu ray so we appreciate your patience.

Results of DOGE: - Not a single case of fraud prosecuted - Not a single piece of legislation filed as a result of findings - Millions of government workers got a 6 month paid vacation funded by taxpayers and are now being hired back - Now paying legal fees to defend the many lawsuits filed by employees - now paying for training and reintegrating people being hired back at their jobs

DOGE had two objectives: protect Musk's illegal activity from legal exposure and to steal data for Peter Thiel’s Palantir database and his own AI training. #DOGE

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
