"We don't have to let atrocities define America" but America was built on atrocities. America sustains itself through atrocities. And America is not alone in that. So perhaps, perhaps clinging to the myths and ignoring the realities isn't actually effective in the slightest
I support our nationβs troops
Done. Felt good.
I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

I think itβs insane that we automated DRIVING so early on in our computer overlord era like of all the things HAVING A COMPUTER DRIVE A VEHICLE seems like it would be towards the end of the tail
It is embarrassing and shameful, at a foundational level, that this country let itself be steered into this timeline in the first place.
Congrats Govs elect Spanberger & Sherrill, & Mayor elect Mamdani.
With Prop 50, Californians have stepped up. @governor.ca.gov nails itβthe tide is turning and Americans are demanding a govβt that works for them. Colorado, Iβll always fight for our people & stand up for what's right. #copolitics

Inside a Spirit Halloween store, two rows of costumes are shown on hangers. The costumes are of men in skull masks with camouflage and guns strapped to their legs. They wear bullet proof vests with an altered American flag on their chest looking very much like non-uniformed federal immigration agents. βSkull commandoβ is the name on the outside of the costume packaging
This is like no other time, although the parallels are also just very clear
What about Brooke Rollins, Doug Burgum, and Sean Duffy? When you're facing a lawless bully, the only approach is to fight for your principles. #copolitics
We live in dystopia
Not even STATES can overturn Title 17 federal copyright law. Itβs criminal if itβs willful + done for profit.
But AI companies? They have more power than states. The unrestrained pursuit of private profit is at direct odds with successful democracy and sustainable futures. We just canβt do this.
E-bikes FTW

I just accept now that the majority of Democratic leadership across the Party is just not that far from the right when it comes to where they think power should be kept. And who theyβre willing to blame in order to keep things exactly as they are. Theyβre also ok with things getting a lot worse
A lot of you are dooming, and I get that. But it just makes me defiant AF.
They literally can't do logistically what they're trying to do unless we all acquiesce to it.

Theyβre pulling comedians who offended the rabid right off air to save their billion dollar mergers. I guess I expected these βinstitutionsβ or pillars of modern society to have something more substantial to them
I cannot fully grasp just how much capitalism has fucked every aspect of our lives
The crowd has no beginning and no end as it begins its march to the White House
I've said it often, but libraries are, without hyperbole, one of the greatest things humans have ever done. Like ever.
A screenshot of the organizing booklet for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. "Food, Health, and Sanitation facilities. Food: We urge all marchers to take 2 box lunchesβone for midday, one for supper. These box lunches should be kept simple and balanced. Exclude perishable or spoilable foodsβno mayonnaise or salads, for example. We suggest: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches; an apple or other fruit; a brownie or plain cake; a soft drink."
The 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom published an organizing booklet that they distributed all across the country ahead of the march, down to what food to bring www.alexautographs.com/auction-lot/...
