Protesting students were arrested, expelled, and beaten up for an entire year while Democrats were in charge. Now Democrats expect them to keep protesting? Gtfoh

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

This can’t be real why are people treating it like it’s real it’s not real right?!

Almost every Democratic response to this shit right now starts with five sentences about how bad the Ayatollah was and how it was obviously good to destroy him with a missile and thanking our brave men and women in uniform before uttering a single criticism

Truly astounding how many really evil people there are in the world, and how in the US we have created a system that elevates the worst of them into positions of tremendous power

OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

There are obv so many impeachable things to choose from but a nice simple one is β€œstarted a war without congressional approval AND has absolutely no idea why he did it”

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Yes it would be good politics to oppose the war that 80 percent of the country is against, but they just love war so much they can’t help it. When the midterms end up being far closer than anyone predicted look no further than this shit

Every Democrat running for office in the next three years needs to make putting the people responsible for this brutality behind bars a center piece of their campaign. No β€œlooking forward not backward” bs this time

The majority of America’s teachers β€” a whopping 71% β€” have at least one side job because they’re so underpaid.

Meanwhile, the country is about to be launched into a long, drawn-out war that has already cost an estimated $2 billion.

Priorities.

If basic standards of consent were applied to most AI systems they would all collapse. It’s just easiest to see it sometimes with this kind of ghoulish death tech

10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.

Add it to the list but if Democrats ever return to power every one of these end times freaks needs to be removed from govt service. Go run a church or whatever but no one who thinks like this should be in charge of waging war ffs!

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Love this thing pundits do where they pretend not to understand why students might protest Israel (a country that their school may actively be funding and therefore the protests are about trying to get their school to take action) and not Iran (a country that their school has nothing to do with).
