This NEVER should have happened to him. He deserves so much better.
NBCโs Richard Engel: โThe White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commandersโฆ they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think itโs a joke and put out material like this.โ
Appalling and inexcusable.

Well, I am officially frightened of a new thing: "US Senator Bernie Sanders asks some of the worldโs leading AI experts a question that is increasingly shaping the global tech debate: Will AI become smarter than humans โ and if it does, could humanity be in danger?"

Autopsy Says Corporate Capture, Support for Genocide Were Key Factors in Democrats' 2024 Disaster www.commondreams.org/news/democra...
The @democrats.org choosing not to release their 2024 autopsy is a move designed to protect the failed party leadership and the corporate donors who are responsible for the embarrassing defeat.
We saw this coming. So we made our own autopsy. Read it here: democraticautopsy.org
Why is the Democratic party hiding its 2024 autopsy report?
โItโs about protecting people who fucked up,โ a DNC member told @normansolomon.bsky.social in @theguardian.com:

Iโll be interested in seeing how quickly Olympics clips get taken down for copyright on Bluesky this year.
Theyโre getting nuked pretty fast over on the MechaHitler app.
Screenshot of a book cover that is peach-ish in color bearing the words "Practices Kicking Jules Boykoff." to the right is thew following text: "Kicking JULES BOYKOFF As a poet, public-facing scholar of sports politics, and former professional soccer player, having represented the United States on the menโs U23 national soccer team, Jules Boykoff draws on his lifetime of athletic experience to reflect on the practice of kicking. With short vignettes blending the personal, the reflective, the historical, and the analytical, Kicking is uniquely positioned to reflect on the most popular sport in the world. From the act of kicking a soccer ball, Boykoff looks outward to his own family history, including his motherโs struggle with polio, which fed her insistence on his athleticism; to broader trends like greenwashing and sportwashing; and to reflections on sportโs toxic masculinity, the poetics of on-field revenge, and the power-politics of both the menโs and womenโs World Cups. Kicking is a must-read for all those who love the beautiful game. Special offer: Use coupon code E26KICK to save 30% when you order from dukeupress.edu. "In this poignant memoir Boykoff writes about his passions, family then football, in a way that offers an opportunity to engage with the vulnerability of one of the worldโs best public scholars. We know Boykoff wonโt stop advocating for better sport, and for the people who love it.โ โ Shireen Ahmed, sports journalist and Senior Contributor with CBC Sports Practices dukeupress.edu/kicking May 2026 | 176 pages, 25 illustrations 978-1-4780-3890-0 | $19.95 paperback $13.97 with discount"

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.
I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.
Congratulations to @uaw.org workers at Volkwagenโs Chattanooga plant on their historic tentative agreement.
This life-changing first contract shows what is possible when workers stand up to demand their fair share.
Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 โ the height of the Great Recession โ according to data tracking firm Challenger.
Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.
Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?
Susan Collins refused to extend the ACA tax credits, and now, costs are soaring, and thousands of Maine people have dropped their health insurance.
Once again, she failed to act when it mattered most, and it's Maine people who are left to pay the price.

I love this state, and I love our people. They deserve a leader who puts them first, and thatโs exactly what Iโll do in the Senate.
I'm endorsing Gov. @KathyHochul because she's someone willing to engage in honest dialogue that delivers results.
Along with the movement that powered our campaign, it's how we secured a historic agreement on childcare. And we're just getting started.

The @uaw.org has won a tentative agreement from VW nearly two years after workers voted to unionize in Chattanooga.
Over 3,000 workers will get:
- A 20% raise
- Better healthcare
- A bonus of about $6,550 per worker upon ratification
And much more.
