Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Iran’s Araghchi calls U.S. strikes a ‘failure’ and vows to fight 'as long as it takes' For perspective from the Iranian government on the conflict with the U.S. and Israel, Amna Nawaz spoke with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi from Tehran.

Really excellent interview by @amnanawaz.bsky.social on PBS NewsHour this evening, with Foreign Minister of Iran.

Listen to this man. Compare what he says (in English) with the slop we're getting from Hegseth, Trump, or Araghchi's counterpart, Rubio.

It turns out knowing facts is really important in diplomacy. Especially about complicated things like nuclear weapons. No room for amateurs or idiots like these guys.

I am convinced one reason why AI exists and people use it can be reduced to illiteracy

Asked Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., about the bombing of the girls' school in Iran. "It was terrible. We made a mistake," he said. "Other countries do that sort of thing intentionally, like Russia. We would never do that intentionally. I think the department is investigating it now, and I'm sorry."

Oil and Gas Prices Soar Amid Trump’s Iran War, Worst Energy Crisis in Decades: A Closer Look YouTube video by Late Night with Seth Meyers

You cannot lie about gas prices.

No idea how you could actually steal the midterms but it should be a bloodbath.

Trump is insane. Panicking. Losing it. He looks weak. Flailing.

Assembly of First Nation Chiefs: "No Trust and No Confidence in the UCP" YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi

It's the first time in history that the Assembly of First Nations has declared they have no confidence in a government.

The UCP government.

Still, Danielle Smith refuses to come forward and clearly denounce separatism.

Why?

The Wu-Tang Clan is such a beautiful analogue for the Knights of the Round Table (many members, there's a shared warrior mythos, some guys are more the main guys than others, people have their little side projects) and I will always be sad I can no longer reliably invoke it in the classroom

I just visited ICE’s detention center in Dilley, Texas.

The stories I heard were heartbreaking.

The terror must end.

Trump administration subpoenaing Arizona 2020 voting records, as Trump pushes to consolidate election power The administration has also obtained records from Fulton County, Georgia, as Trump continues to focus on the 2020 election he lost.

Another alarm bell in this five alarm fire.

Donald Trump is still trying to relitigate the 2020 election six years later.

He wants to scare election officials and election workers ahead of the midterms.

And he’s using the FBI to do it.

The Birth Rate Collapse: Why Women In Turkey Are Done YouTube video by BurbNBougie: The Feral Feminist

Good work ladies our human species has put all our lives under the control of violent and greedy sociopaths. Men want children they don’t want to patent men don’t want to do an equal percentage of housework men still want to treat women like property.

It’s a good day to ask how safe America really is with Pete Hegseth, a dangerously unfit former TV host, running the Pentagon in the middle of a conflict with Iran.

The stakes are too high for incompetence, reckless judgment, or someone learning on the job while American lives are on the line.

VA plans to scan a million veterans claims for signs of fraud The tool can quickly review submitted questionnaires that document medical evidence to determine a disability rating and monthly compensation.

The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to launch an automated fraud-detection tool to scan more than a million disability benefits questionnaires for evidence of fabrication or other problems that could force a new medical exam and impact compensation. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.

Smugaboot all week long 😆

My smugness is immeseruable this morning. Two co-workers are complaining about petrol prices.

I commuted by eBike. It costs ~$0.04c to fully charge (assuming from the grid, not my solar).

I saved ~$3.26 by riding ^_^

You can not contain my smugness.

I see you @corybooker.com!!! Took the $40k tax-free proposal and upped the ante to $75k?!?

I can't wait to work together to get this done! NJ middle class families deserve #Taxfairness and we should insist corporations and billionaires pay their fair share!

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.
