Morning!

@JMizzy__ @shift_in2_turbo The theme is your lack of education. Every one of those people were dictators. Socialist is not a synonym for dictator. The people who lived in those countries did not own the means of production of their labor (socialism).

Republicans have no idea how much damage they just did to their party by stopping Massie.

It’s similar to the damage Democrats did to their party when they stopped Sanders.

Neither party serves the public interest, and the people are starting to figure that out.

More than certain Aesop's fables taught you this as a child yet you still swam the scorpion across the river. Glad people came to their senses but let's not repeat the same errors in the future.

"Trump asked for Libertarians to support him... with promises including no new wars... now not only are they going to completely BAIL on those promises, but they're going to pour tens of millions of dollars into unseating the one libertarian member of Congress who is standing up for those things."

"JD Vance has lost my support FOREVER."

@ComicDaveSmith blasted Trump's betrayal of Libertarians on the latest "Brad vs The World."

Why campaign when the election was already purchased?

I love the cope from Massie fans who think he’s gonna run for president and win after just getting smoked by 10 points in his own district by a guy who barely campaigned.

There’s a reason Libertarians get 1% of the vote, and it’s because they suck. That’s why Massie ran as a “Republican” in a 80%+ favored Trump district which worked out for him until he decided to make himself the center of attention and the people of KY-4 finally realized they were just circling the letter next to his name this whole time.

He’s going to be fucking irrelevant by this time next year.

What’s Liz Cheney been up to? Exactly.

Narcissism in a nutshell: I cause harm and want accolades for stopping.

"The bigger historical reality" none of the misdeeds were stopped at will, they were stopped by resistance.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

What if the west isn't the villain they told you it was?

We’ve spent years accepting accusations about racism, intolerance, and slavery without challenging the bigger historical reality:

The societies most condemned today are also the ones that led the world in ending slavery, expanding rights, and building the most tolerant nations on earth.

That’s the conversation nobody wants to have.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

I hope more people are starting to see what's happening.

Whenever people find a candidate to take on the corrupt system, the system protects itself by either co-opting the candidate or pouring in millions of dollars from AIPAC and/or billionaires to crush their campaign.

It happened with Bernie and Massie, and it will happen to the next candidate the people put their time, energy, and hope into too.

The only thing that can save us is each other. We the people must cast aside the divide-and-conquer politics of our corporate rulers and rise up together to fight for a better system that puts people over profits.

No. When Jeff Bezos pays a lower tax rate than a truck driver, the tax code is not progressive. It's rigged.

Jeff Bezos
Worth: $279 billion
Tax Rate: 0.98%

Truck Driver
Income: $63,890
Tax Rate 8.4%

Teacher
Income: $69,860
Tax Rate: 9.8%

Nurse
Income: $98,430
Tax Rate: 13.3%

So let me get this straight, it was revealed that the United States ruling class is full of child torturing pedophiles and the reaction of the American people wasn’t to immediately revolt, but to vote out Thomas Massie who helped expose the scandal

America is cooked 💀

@Villgecrazylady The real kicker is that it was the Soviets that defeated the Germans, and Jews who came to America post WWII from USSR was due to Stalin perceiving Jews as a disloyal political threat for supporting Israel (who immediately sided with anti-USSR USA).

[Flame of Dissent @INKSTK360]

@JoeCassandra I will agree with you as soon as a million, billionaire, and soon trillionaire does not exist. As soon as exotic cars and mansions do not exist. As soon as capitalism does not exist. These things are luxuries, not applebees vs lunchables.

[Flame of Dissent @INKSTK360]

@CryptoMikli One of the biggest lies about Capitalism is that Capitalism equals freedom when the lack of capital directly impacts your "freedom". America claims to be great while simultaneously lowering the standard of living. How long before $10 is the problem you should eat bugs?

[Flame of Dissent @INKSTK360]

@tmsilverman "feelings of entitlement for a lifestyle they haven’t earned" IS Capitalist culture. Most people wouldn't have anything without credit because they are priced out of a basic living, not luxury. It doesn't matter if lunch costs $4 or $28 if your income is negative or close to it.

@reFleXiveLogiK @qu3stionevrthg @ggreenwald I live on a literal rock called Earth where decimation is generally not considered a good thing (nuclear warfare), and the outsourcing of thinking to a machine that can and has (via AI hallucination) made up wrong information to the user isn't progress it's regress.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 JUST IN — Thomas Massie concedes the race:

“I would've come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede.”

“And it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.”

That line is going to detonate across Washington.

Massie just turned his concession speech into a missile aimed directly at the flood of outside money and foreign policy influence that consumed this race.

The most expensive House primary in U.S. history ends with one final message:

This wasn’t just Kentucky voting.

This was the political establishment making an example out of someone who refused to fall in line.

AI is primarily used two ways:
1) Data retrieval
2) Ephemera (see below)
Hardly consequential to human progress. The vast majority of AI companies are overvalued and there are physical limitations that bottleneck performance.

@qu3stionevrthg @ggreenwald World gone mad is an understatement. AI is not the nuclear arms race and that was an explicit threat to humanity and remains so.

Freedom is the ability to survive without having to calculate every ingredient of a single fucking sandwich in the richest country in the history of the world so your oppressors profiting from your labor can eat from a menu with no posted prices.

A little-known hack:

2 slices of Aldi wheat bread: $0.17
3 oz of Aldi deli turkey: $0.86
1 slices Aldi cheddar: $0.15
1 condiment of your choice: $0.02
1 apple: $0.53
1 hard boiled egg: $0.14
5 carrot sticks: $0.17
Cold water from the tap: $0.01

Total: $2.05

You can do this.
