This may be the image that defines America's 250th birthday.

A woman sits calmly on a Washington Metro train as masked members of the white nationalist and domestic terrorist group Patriot Front surround her.

They covered their faces.

She didn't.

Earlier in the day, Patriot Front marched through the nation's capital carrying Confederate flags and chanting that America must be "reclaimed," the latest expression of a white nationalist movement that has grown increasingly visible, violent, emboldened, and politically influential in recent years.

Their ideology is explicit.

Their courage, apparently, is not.

Not one of them was willing to show his face.

And then there is her.

No mask. No uniform. No fear.

Just an American woman refusing to surrender an inch of her dignity to a group of men who appeared to be seeking exactly that.

The symbolism is almost too perfect.

250 years after the Declaration of Independence, and six decades after Americans marched and died to make its promises apply to everyone, a group of masked white nationalists rode the socialist Metro home in anonymity.

The woman they tried to intimidate is the one America will remember.

The people who hide their faces do not define this country.

The people who refuse to be afraid do.

Happy Saturday everyone ☀️

This is so true 👇

They’ve arrested more people for touching the peeling paint at the Reflecting Pool than they’ve arrested from the Epstein files.

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

The Reflecting Pool arrests by Park Police should terrify everyone. The federal government is fabricating accusations out of thin air simply to protect one man from his own embarrassing failure.

There is no sabotage. This is insane.

Trump told Leslie Stahl something years ago that everyone should hear.

She asked Trump he kept calling the media fake news.

He said, I do it because I need to discredit you, so that when you say negative things about me, nobody believes you.

That is EXACTLY what he’s done.

The problem everyone has with him is that most of us grew up with values, ethics, and integrity.

That is not Donald Trump.

He figured out a long time ago that he can bully his way through any rule and if he keeps pushing harder and harder, people will relent.

For most of his life they did, but we must stand up against it.

The chasm between competence and incompetence could not be wider.

[Bob Golen @BobGolen]

I haven't been tweeting about trump lately

To be honest, I've lost interest

But I religiously watch Meet the Press every Sunday Morning

trump was a guest today

He put on a petulant, embarrassing, dishonest performance

This horrible man is an embarrassment to America

Let's all vote come November so we can change Congress and impeach this piece of shit

Anyways, have a nice Sunday

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

The difference between CLASS and TRASH!

Cult leader Jim Jones used to fake assassination attempts so that his cult would worship him harder. Just thought I’d share that history with everyone

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models.

What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text.

"We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience."

"We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease."

These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours.

And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve.

Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large."

The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.

FIFA is panicking: World Cup hotel cancellations are surging as global fans ditch the U.S., citing soaring costs, visa bonds, and Trump’s dictatorial behavior.

Turns out nobody wants to pay $1,000 a night just to experience an authoritarian simulation.

This is what you call “evidence.”

Q: The president's financial disclosures show a lot of stock trades in companies he has promoted, sometimes even putting the stock ticker symbol in his posts and encouraging people to buy their stock--

JD VANCE: This is a hell of a question

Q: How can you argue you are cleaning up corruption when the president is doing this?

VANCE: C'mon man. Have a little bit of objectivity in how you ask these questions

@RapidResponse47 You are so pathetic. 🤡

When Trump is gone, I hope we heal as fast as his ear did.

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

Donald Trump's approval rating is currently 28 percent.

The 72 percent need to wield our collective power and end this extremist MAGA nightmare once and for all.

It's time.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

Am I the only one still left wondering where in the hell are the pilots that the MAGA regime supposedly rescued? Or was that staged too? Surely they would’ve paraded them around and sent them on Fox by now.
