Not a Dem or a Rep, but an Independent Thinker&Voter. “there is some good in the world..and it’s worth fighting for”

[Thinker02 @IndyThinker02]

on both sides, traumatized and brutalized people often react in traumatized and brutalized ways. stop this circle of violence.

[TheSteadyState @steadystate2025]

The administration’s scam is to point to something already illegal, pretend it’s rampant, and demand sweeping powers to “fix” it. The Cato Institute says noncitizens are not voting in detectable numbers. The Brennan Center found suspected cases at 0.0001%. This has nothing to do with evidence and is all about building machinery for voter suppression.

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ And just like that, Epstein / Trump completely VANISHED from the media.

But a sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump RAPED and threatened to KILL children.

Lets make this viral again & again 👇👇👇

@RpsAgainstTrump still waiting for that healthcare plan that was going to be delivered “in two weeks”.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

We are hemorrhaging money to the president and his family and the only people who could stop the bleeding refuse to do so.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨HOLY SHIT: Crowds BOOO Trump as he arrives at Madison Square Garden in NYC to see Game 3.

Protesters are holding a huge sign that says "GO KNICKS, F**K TRUMP.”

He’s the most hated president in history!

[Graham Allen @GrahamAllen]

There is nobody like Donald Trump… he doesn’t take the bs…

He just called her a liar and WALKED off during a Kristen Welker interview:

"The elections are like a 3rd world country. YOU'RE CROOKED...let's call it QUITS. I’VE HAD ENOUGH."

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

Kyle Clark asked Colorado GOP candidate for governor Victor Marx whether voters should believe he’s lived "one of the most extraordinary lives in human history," or whether he’s "a liar and a fraud."

John Oliver: “That might be the first event in history won by the moderator.”

Yuval Noah Harari deixou escapar em Davos algo muito maior do que uma simples preocupação com inteligência artificial. Ele praticamente afirmou que o poder humano sempre foi construído sobre palavras, narrativas, ideologias, religiões e histórias capazes de fazer milhões de estranhos cooperarem. O homem não dominou o mundo por ser mais forte, mais rápido ou mais resistente. Dominou porque aprendeu a organizar massas através da linguagem.

E agora, segundo ele próprio, criamos algo capaz de usar palavras melhor do que nós.

Esse é o detalhe que quase ninguém percebeu. A IA não ameaça apenas empregos, textos, livros, escolas ou mercados. Ela ameaça o mecanismo central pelo qual sociedades são conduzidas. Quem domina a linguagem domina a imaginação coletiva. Quem domina a imaginação coletiva domina governos, religiões, dinheiro, guerra, educação, cultura e obediência.

Harari fala como se estivesse fazendo um alerta, mas o cenário descrito é brutal: se a identidade humana foi construída sobre a capacidade de pensar, narrar e organizar palavras, o que acontece quando uma inteligência não humana passa a fazer isso melhor, mais rápido e em escala planetária?

Ele ainda usa uma imagem reveladora: líderes acreditam que poderão usar IA como mercenária, como ferramenta obediente, como soldado digital a serviço de seus próprios interesses. Só que mercenários pensam, calculam, traem e tomam poder quando percebem que seus contratantes são fracos. A diferença é que, no caso da IA, muitos ainda fingem que estão lidando com uma ferramenta, quando na prática estão criando agentes.

A parte mais perturbadora vem depois. Harari projeta um mundo em que a IA poderá criar sistemas financeiros tão complexos que nenhum humano conseguirá entender. Davos daqui a dez anos talvez seja uma sala cheia de pessoas importantes discutindo uma economia que nenhuma delas compreende, administrada por inteligências artificiais que inventaram regras, produtos e estratégias matematicamente inacessíveis ao cérebro humano.

E, no final, ele toca no ponto mais sombrio: crianças educadas desde o primeiro dia por inteligências artificiais. Não por pais, professores, avós, irmãos ou seres humanos reais, mas por sistemas treinados para falar, responder, convencer, adaptar-se e moldar percepção.

Isso não é apenas inovação.

É o maior experimento psicológico da história.

A humanidade passou milênios usando palavras para construir civilizações.

Agora está entregando as palavras a máquinas.

E quando uma civilização entrega sua linguagem, ela não entrega apenas comunicação.

Entrega o comando da própria realidade.

"People sometimes ask me why I’m so hung up on Bari Weiss and the answer is that it’s because her project is essentially the same as Donald Trump’s project." Scott Pelley gets it, too. Today's Triad from JVL (link in reply):

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Nick Bilton walked into the 60 Minutes newsroom four days after Bari Weiss fired the people who built the show. He tried to pretend he didn't know about the firings. Scott Pelley, in front of the remaining staff, would not let that stand.

"She loves 60 Minutes," Bilton said. "She's murdering 60 Minutes," Pelley said back. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it - and she's doing exactly that."

One of Weiss's lieutenants kept interrupting to say Pelley was being rude. Pelley kept going.

JVL's framing is the right one. The corrupter depends on the existing institution being too polite to say the obvious thing out loud. Christopher Wray resigned quietly to "preserve the integrity of the FBI." John Kelly gave print interviews after he left. Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, Jim Mattis, Bill Barr - all of them saw it. All of them objected privately. None of them said it in the room where it was happening, to the person doing it, while the cameras were still running.

Pelley said it in the room. To the person's face. In front of witnesses. While he still worked there.

That is a different thing entirely. Not a memoir. Not an anonymous source in a tell-all. Not a carefully worded statement issued after the resignation letter was already filed. The true thing, said out loud, to the people who needed to hear it, at the moment it could still matter.

Authoritarianism counts on politesse. It counts on people deciding the fight isn't worth the awkwardness, the career risk, the label of being difficult. Scott Pelley decided it was worth it. The republic needs more of that calculation to come out the same way.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Trump’s budget director Russ Vought is the most dangerous person you’ve never heard of.

And he just proposed turning every federal grant into a loyalty test.

His plan would make funding for cancer research, housing, transportation, and public health depend on one thing: whether it “advances the President’s policy priorities.”

Not whether it works.

Not whether Congress authorized it.

Whether it pleases Trump.

This is the appropriations power. It belongs to Congress and to the people.
To my Republican colleagues: where are you?

Congress passed this funding. You voted for it.

Vought is telling you to your faces that your votes do not matter, that he and his enablers will override the law whenever it suits them. Every day you stay silent, you give away the institution you were elected to defend.

Grow a spine.

This is not about left or right.

It is about whether Congress still exists as a coequal branch, or whether we have quietly surrendered the purse to an unelected hack who holds the Constitution in contempt.

History will remember who stood up and who looked away.

ANGIE CRAIG: I don't think you understand the difference between error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any program

BROOKE ROLLINS: You can't be serious when you say that

CRAIG: Your own data says that

This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter

[Fred Fourteen @fie0014]

@JoyceWhiteVance Like every mob boss, the Federalist Society has involved all the MAGA "justices" in crimes and as a result they would be in trouble if they didn't follow instructions. If America ever gets a legitimate government again all of them need to be investigated and impeached.
