Screenshot of a post by Acyn quoting Pete Buttigieg criticizing Trump, saying money from the Middle East is going into the Trump family’s crypto fund while Americans are being sent to the Middle East for Trump’s war. A video frame shows Buttigieg speaking.

Pete Buttigieg nails it.

Trump has the power to do anything—except pay back tariffs, apparently When President Donald Trump imposed tariffs hither, thither, and yon, he was a colossus striding across the world—America First, the toughest country you know.� But now that it’s time to give ...

A federal trade court says the Trump administration must refund tariffs to about 333,000 importers, with interest.

Post from Drop Site News claiming Bellingcat geolocation confirms U.S. Tomahawk missiles struck a girls’ primary school in southern Iran, killing around 180 people, most of them children, with an embedded tweet describing footage of the strike.

Further confirmation of what Trump keeps denying and what Hegseth won't admit to. It was the U.S. that struck that girls’ school.

Sill wondering what effect jailing Maduro has had on drugs coming into this country? You would think we would be getting hit with all kinds of statistics and numbers on what a stunning difference this has made. But not a word.

This is what happens when one of the stupidest people in history is in charge of your government.

The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

The United States needs to get over the quaint WWII-era notion that it is a force for good in the world. It is not. Especially now.

Obama calls on Virginians to vote for redistricting in special election “Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, but right now they are under threat,” Obama said.

Early voting in Virginia has kicked into full gear as voters weigh a new map that could deliver four blue seats in Congress — and one former president is urging voters to say yes.

“Virginians can respond by making sure your voting power is not diminished by what Republicans are doing,” Obama said.

"We want to create pathways so people can be self supporting"

When challenged on her claims about AISH, Smith finally told the truth.

She doesn't believe everyone on AISH needs to be on AISH and she's looking for off-ramps.

The many eras of the AIDS Committee of Toronto—including its final bow | Xtra Magazine As Canada’s oldest AIDS organization closes its doors after more than four decades, Xtra dives deep into its community history and why it’s come to an end

This month, the country’s oldest AIDS organization closes its doors for the last time: the number of stories there are to be told and community members there are to speak to its legacy are abundant.

Provinces received permission for additional control over healthcare and new tax / income powers specifically to expand- home care, community-based HC, rehab, detox centers, and long-term care.

And then provided none of this.

Is Smith finally agreeing to provide those things??

More good news!

Dr. Dani (not a doctor) has announced that no patient should "ever be in a hospital longer than 30 days"!

Even if they're in a coma, suffering from a serious brain injury or massive burns apparently.

Carney's statements & live talks, over & over, do not contain what's ascribed to them.

Like calling Trump "transformational". Carney didn't say whether it was good or bad.

Everyone inferred "something" - based on their views.

Arguing over inferences wastes time.

Concentrate on acts.

Pls hire real ppl to "read aloud" your articles.

Yes, more expensive & slightly slower- but doesn't require "data centres", and keeps real people employed

There are large numbers of voice actors. Perhaps seek out under-represented groups? Like FNMI.

AI reading available to anyone who wants it.

Pls stop creating story summaries, whether AI or not.

News stories are not novels. They're sufficiently short to be read in entirety.

Ignore mythos "people don't read", longer-form reporting/ stories see increasing readership.

Old Twitter linked to complex primary sources - which ppl read.

In this changing world, many uses for generative AI actually already exist w/ nonAI tools. Checking grammar, spelling, & voice transcripts have existed for 5-20 yrs. But companies, like MS, are replacing these existing tools with genAI.

Pls hire voice actors (real people) for text-to-voice, not AI
