The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country “in an hour” should chill every democracy on Earth.
This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.👇
@TheChiefNerd SAM ALTMAN: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price
electricity water clean air knowledge
you name it
they should be treated like the common thieves they are
"Americans prefer a car-dependent lifestyle."
I can't tell you how much I hate this glib sentiment. The only way to determine someone's true, enduring preference is to give them full familiarity with their options. Americans have no familiarity with their options! They've only seen sprawl!
tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse
I love AOC, but I'd shit myself for a Pritzker/Warren ticket.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
It’s an immediate way to “other”-ize yourself and that’s just not something many white people recognise as being the case nor are willing to do.
“My beliefs shouldn’t define me” actually no they’re the only thing that should
One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.
I can’t believe how stupid everything is
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
No one wants to hear that <checks notes> Iran currently has a more active & functional parliament than the United States of Just This One Guy Can Do Whatever He Wants Because No One In Congress Who Swore Oaths Will Do Their Damn Jobs

If you've grown up having to deal with the weirdest and most unsettling of church goers (often white and republican, lets not mince words) you know how true this is. Christian Nationalism is just that mind bending and dangerous. Its basically no different from a turbo cult but now they have power
This is one of the the articles that will be printed out and displayed in a museum next to the room with the pile of shoes
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.
i see the looksmaxxing dolts aren’t the only ones hitting themselves in the head with hammers
The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.
There is absolutely no reason for Sewerage and Water Board to be adding areas like this so long after a break. They have tons of water pressure data at the moment the break happened from their new smart meter system. Whether they know how to extract that data in timely fashion ...
Jared Kushner is at diplomatic meetings.
He's not elected. Not confirmed. Not accountable.
WHO voted for him? The Senate didn't confirm him.
So why is he in these meetings?
FOREIGN POLICY IS NOT A FAMILY BUSINESS.
Who would have ever predicted south Claiborne at Louisiana would be an issue? Definitely not me who contacted 311 months ago & heard nothing.
Also that's the intersection crews were working on forever so we better look at the construction defects damages in the contract lolol like we did that right
The section of Claiborne currently underwater (Gen Taylor to Louisiana) has been leaking for at least a year. It was constantly wet but also you coukd see water bubbling up. The work they did is obviously shoddy AF.
She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE.
A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas.

Trump made $4B in his first year of his second term. Trump is suing the IRS for $10B. Trump just announced the US will contribute $10B to his Board of Peace. A $10 billion contribution to a Board that he chairs without congressional appropriation or authorization.
WAKE THE F*CK UP AMERICA.
Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.
Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state
On January 10, 2026, while driving back to work after getting lunch with his father and cousin, a car quickly passed O., sped up, then stopped in front of him. (Id. ¶ 3.) A few men in civilian clothes stepped out of the car and asked for his identification. (Id.) The men threatened O.—if he did not get out of the car, they would force him out. (Id.) O. exited the car and was told he was under arrest. (Id.) The men handcuffed him and did not allow him to bring his phone. (Id.) O. felt like he was being kidnapped. (Id.) The men detained O., his father, and his cousin, taking them all to Whipple. (Id. ¶ 4.) At Whipple, there was “food scattered on the floor, the floor was sticky with mud, and everything stuck to your shoes.” (Id. ¶ 5.) The space was so cramped that sometimes there was no space to sit on the floor. (Id.)
The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...
And I bet she’s his ex-wife because she was finally allowed to file for divorce at 18. This is one reason why child marriage is so heinous. You can’t file (or it is harder to file) for divorce as a minor!
