it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

Both things can be true:

The Pentagon’s blacklisting of Anthropic is an abuse of executive power.

The daylight between the Pentagon and Anthropic is less than you think.

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Really want to thank @therealnews.com and @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social for having us on to discuss this story in a wider context. Tomorrow is an extremely important day with the bond hearing and we really would appreciate everyone's support. #FreeLud until he's home and truly free

Americans Are Ready to Stop Executing People for Murders They Didn't Commit The Supreme Court allows criminal defendants who did not kill to be put to death under the β€œfelony murder” rule. It shouldn’t.

Alabama planned to execute Charles Sonny Burton today as punishment for the death of man he didn't kill

But after widespread condemnation, the governor commuted the death sentence

People recognize felony murder executions are wrong--the Constitution should, too!

Yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein's former account testified, under oath, that the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to one of the women accusing Donald Trump of raping her as a minor, AFTER Epstein had died.

This would end any other President instantly. But the press doesn't care.

And I mean this w/sincere gratitude. I have been tempted to be smaller, set my sights lower when personal circumstances created barriers & challenges. But when I watch/learn from these women who have fought, nurtured, accomplished, sacrificed…I’m in awe. And it’s why we must show tf up for them.

Black women have changed my life. It started with β€œthey know how to organize” but has moved to β€œoh and build communities, take care of each other, achieve incredible things under oppression, w/o credit, still find joy &have beautiful skin. Not to minimize hard things but there are so many lessons.

News media worth supporting.

This puts Mitchell Black and Marilyn W. Thompson in the same league as Miami Herald’s Julie K. Brown. www.postandcourier.com/news/epstein...

In case you're wondering how slow justice moves: after the Trump administration investigated my podcast and removed me from my job at the VA in 2019, I filed a complaint.

We still don't have a trial date set. We're waiting on a summary judgment ruling after a hearing last August.

ICE operation in South Burlington ends in arrest, protests An ICE operation in South Burlington on Tuesday morning led to multiple crashes, a foot pursuit, and a crowd of protesters, according to South Burlington Police.

People mobilized in South Burlington, #Vermont, after ICE chased someone, leading to "car crashes involving federal vehicles, a foot chase, and a daylong protest." www.wcax.com/2026/03/11/i...

I agree with this and it's something for which community groups should already be developing concrete plans. I think reparations are already due.

Agreed. I actually heard from someone in a local chapter, an organizer I've worked with for years in Maine. Who was annoyed that the white folks in chapters here heard about this endorsement, but no one they knew was consulted.

One criticism of this endorsement that I don't see in any of the reactions is that SURJ doesn't reference Mainers of color or Maine organizations in this endorsement and so it is yet another example of outsiders not talking to or even noticing Mainers of color and their perspectives

Same! I remember every time I pass the Goya section. Also Martin’s bread aisle products used to love their potato rolls haven’t bought them since.

The thing about Target is I’ve already got used to not going and it was entirely too easy to simply not spend money there 🀷🏽 you’re dead to me, sweets. Already done had the fune and everything.

Right it just wasn’t actually good. OR good prices. It was a one-stop alternative to Walmart but trendier and more $$. I am literally better without AND more $ in my pocket.

I workout, drink my water, stick to a sleep schedule to be ready for the day when we realize what Black folks did to Target can be applies to the US as a whole.

People underestimate the system-level impact of individual ignorance. Friend who is a lawyer for health insurance company insisted my long covid could be cured by a specific blueberry smoothie recipe found in a wellness influencer’s book, bc she believed it improved her performance asa runner.
