"AI is neither savior nor destroyer - it is a mirror, reflecting the values of those who wield it."

Jop Helm

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

Becca Balint is fearless and prepared.

let’s see, a Democratic legislator accused of sexual misconduct is now no longer a legislator. A Republicon administrative official, accused of hiding his association with Epstein, is still a republicon administrative official.

The most unpopular Vice President, JD Vance, tells the Vatican to stay out of US politics. The hypocrite just went to Hungary to campaign for Viktor Orbán while the pope is from Chicago, Illinois.

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer,” she wrote. “Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.”

FreeTaxUSA is free for the less complicated tax returns. I’ve used it for 5 years trouble-free.

It seems America has run on the honor system for 250 years. Then we ran out of honor.

A madman is in charge and he’s surrounded by cowards. Now we find that impeachment is meaningless. The 25th amendment is meaningless. The Bill of Rights is meaningless. And the Constitution is meaningless.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

I don't like Amazon recommending books to me based on what I've already read. I don't like them trying to "customise" my reading. I don't like any platform which does that.

You Done Good,Governor Walz......
