Someday there will be a police force in America with an actual job description and that operates under civilian control and oversight, but today is still not that day.

[Oliver Weilein, Iowa City Councilor @Ollie_XVX]

LAPD expects people to buy that during a training exercise they “accidentally” beat a cop (who was investigating 4 other cops for sexual assault) to death so brutally that his spine was broken in 3 places. It has “suicide by 6 shots to the back of head” energy.

@atrupar We are the people who are alive today and have the power to make choices about what sort of society we want to live in and how best to handle the challenges we collectively face in today's world.

[Marshall Sutton @Abdiel]

@atrupar I'm rapidly coming to the point where I say that I want no one who appeals to the "Founding Fathers" to hold power. Those men, brilliant and well-intentioned as they may have been, were deeply flawed, knew nothing about the world today, and are dead.

This landmark study in The Lancet should be etched on @elonmusk's gravestone:

Dismantling USAID is projected to cause 14 million deaths between 2025 and 2030 — that’s more than 2.4 million lives lost every year.

That’s as many lives lost as in World War I.

@DanSchachle @JonnyTsunami28 @TheTNHoller To promote the general welfare? Agreed.

@appodlachia Snow Crash is seminal work of cyberpunk, for sure. The other must mention piece is Neuromancer by Gibson.

Rick Scott oversaw the largest Medicaid fraud in American history.

Literally.

But he thinks regular people are the ones who should lose their Medicaid.

China’s westernmost point is closer to Germany than to its easternmost point!

Constantly marinating in grievance is a disaster for truth and understanding. Industrial agriculture, food science, and modern medicine have helped extend human lifespans by decades. None of those things are perfect, but they've been an immense net benefit to humanity.

@racheljwelcher Post less, listen more is never bad advice.

@TheTNHoller That is some AI trash 'art'.

Efficiencye ys for machines and chemical processes. Applyed to the matters of humankynde, efficiencye ys crueltye wearinge the mask of virtue.

@KarenDrives @DefintlyNotHer @MuellerSheWrote Security comes from transparency, not obscurity.

[Tom Santos @tommysantos14]

If you claim every election you lose is rigged, every judge that rules against you should be removed, and everyone that you disagree with should be investigated and sent to prison…

You are a Fascist. Plain and simple.

That’s not name-calling. That’s truth-telling.

@sir_not_this @mattyglesias We can fix everything through proper taxation of the people who have the money.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

I was hungry, but you took free lunch out of schools.

I was thirsty, but you cut humanitarian aid funding for clean water.

I was a stranger, but you sent ICE agents into my church to arrest me.

I was sick, but you took away my healthcare coverage.

I was in prison, but you left me there because you profited off of it.

Whatever you did to the least of these, my siblings, you did to me.

(how I think Jesus would have phrased Matthew 25 if he was preaching in America today)
