Spending trillions to build out AI data centers proves that the American ruling class had the resources and ability to convert the grid to renewables and maybe save the planet but instead deliberately chose to cook us all and die for no reason but to produce demonic digital slop.
It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.
Let me be really clear about what just happened.
The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop.
You don’t get to look away from this one.
This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters.
Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours.
Stay informed. Stay loud.
DEA agents in New Mexico let major fentanyl shipments go unseized and allowed the pills to stay in circulation to build cases for years.
A whistleblower says that at least 1.8 million pills went unseized during one investigation.
That's an insane amount.
The DEA says its decisions were "lawful" and "consistent" with Justice Department guidance.
It's "lawful" and "consistent" of them to accept risks to vulnerable communities as collateral damage so they can build bigger prosecutions, and then they'll cite the crisis to justify more police funding and more police militarization.
I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.
On top of that, Israel now wants to retaliate for its soldiers being killed while invading their neighbor.
This is pure madness. Just leave Lebanon.
Trillionaires shouldn't exist and neither should billioniares. Tax every penny in net worth over $999 million at 100%. We can have extreme wealth concentration or a democracy but we can't have both at the same time. Pick one.

There it is. With Massie’s defeat, If you’re against pedophiles and child trafficking, if you oppose illegal wars of aggression or even MILDLY criticize Israel, there is no place for you in the Republican Party. That is now a fact. The fascist terrorist imperialist death cult is doing what it does. The cult is culting.
Don't fool yourself into thinking this barbarity will remain confined to the killing fields of Donbass and Gaza. This can and will be western people who resist domestically, huddled in sheds hunted like ants by corporate AI-directed drones or worse. When it comes to this depeved technological or exterminationist violence our idendities must be subordinate to a baseline of collective human dignity. It cannot be seen as happening to "him" or "them". It is happening to us. It's happening to you.
I'm not unrealistic on these matters and know how futile and moralistic it sounds, but if it doesn't sufficiently shock and offend our conscience and wake us up to the coming reality, then we really will be dispatched eventually like cockroaches by entities barely knowable.
I know the American education system will never have an internet literacy class bc it’s not in the state’s interest but this would be the kind of stuff people should learn before they’re allowed to vote
It does feel like if a group of Palestinians with machine guns broke into an Israeli school and shot a bunch of children, it would be breaking news in every outlet on earth…?
Chuck Schumer : "Of course we say it's our land, the Torah says it. But [the Palestinians] don't believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason there is not peace."
The fact that this monstrous genocidal maniac is the minority leader in the senate is a disgrace and an embarrassment
