I doubt many people are going to read the 55-page report "From Vanity to Insanity: How the White House Cheated the American People Out of Their 250th Birthday" put together by Democratic staff of the House Natural Resources Committee so here's how it ends
The whole thing is obviously comical, but the fact that the political officials clearly ordered the Department of Energy to delete a recommendation made by actual experts just because of partisan politics is actually pretty bad.
I DO NOT understand what billionaires think the final outcome of all this would be. If nobody has a living wage, they CANNOT buy your products, pay for your services or rent the properties being owned and hoarded. At that point, does the whole thing not just collapse ??
On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded:
“Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”
America 250 was going to be like a World Fair that would have attracted millions of people.
But Trump stole the money, denied permits, & renamed it Freedom 250 so he could make it all about himself & Republicans.
Trump stole America's Birthday from you! 🤬
We’re in the final stages of capitalism. Capitalists are now consuming the government and the physical and social systems that sustain the common good. Public infrastructure, education, ecosystem protection, and healthcare are being sacrificed for short-term profit.
We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack.
Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it.
So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated.
He’s weak. Finish him.
It's really cool that DeviantArt, Tumblr, Twitter, AO3, etc fostered a worldwide class of excellent artists who are now coming of age and starting indie studios in countries across the Global South.
BREAKING: RED ALERT! Anti-ICE protestors in Texas get sentenced to FIFTY YEARS IN PRISON by a Trump-appointed judge in an outrageous North Korean-style kangaroo court to punish free speech!
This should terrify every one of us…
A group of nine protestors were convicted of bullshit terrorism charges from a Fourth of July protest at an immigrant detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, south of Fort Worth.
The protestors had fireworks to set off in solidarity with those poor individuals detained inside. Police arrived and immediately escalated the situation, leading to the slashing of tires of ICE vehicles, and breaking a security camera.
One protestor fired a shot at one of the guards, hitting him in the arm, in order to stop him from shooting one of the protesters.
Benjamin Song, the shooter, received 100 years in prison.
His fellow protesters Zachary Evetts, Autumn Hill, Savanna Batten, Elizabeth Soto and Meagan Morris were sentenced to 50 years in prison. Maricela Rueda, another demonstrator, was sentenced to 70 years in prison.
In comparison, the leader of the Proud Boys received 22 years in prison for attacking the Capitol on January 6th.
All six were convicted of riot, providing material support to terrorists, and explosive charges.
Three of the defendants weren’t involved in the planning and left after the guards told them to; one of them WASN’T EVEN THERE but got 30 years in prison for “moving leftwing zines.”
The judge stacked the charges together and gave outrageously long sentences to the protesters, who were smeared as “antifa.”
As if you needed any more proof, the Trump-appointed judge said explicitly said he was handing down maximum sentences to "send a message" to anyone else who shares this ideology of caring for other people and exercising their rights to protest.
The implications of this are DEEPLY disturbing. “If you’ve ever worn black to a protest, used Signal, or carried a first aid kit, a federal jury just decided that can all be evidence of terrorism,” writes organizer Hannah Riley Fernandez on Twitter.
With Trump judges installed across the country, Trump and his goons are clearly ready to hand down massive sentences in kangaroo courts in order to brutally punish anyone who dares to protest his appalling persecution of immigrants.
Fascism has come to America.
So, they studied the ‘08 playbook on “too big to fail” then crammmed AI into everything whether we wanted it or not, convinced the control junkies in Washington this was their fix for permanent power, and told struggling businesses “adopt or die.”
But now they’re realizing people don’t want this crap. That we aren’t paying premiums for it. That maybe they shouldn’t have built their business model on theft and putting us all out of work. That we will cancel services rather than put up with it or pay them.
Now they want bailouts.
Fuck ‘em.
A student submitted an essay she wrote by hand. Her university ran it through an AI detector. The detector said she cheated. She is autistic.
Her name is Moira Olmsted. Adelphi University. February 2026. Turnitin flagged her essay as 100% AI-generated. She was disciplined.
Two other AI detectors classified the same essay as human-written.
She sued. She won. The court called the school's decision "arbitrary and capricious."
She is not the only one.
In May 2026, a high school student in Palo Alto was expelled after an AI detector flagged his work. He faced visa revocation. He filed a federal civil rights lawsuit.
A researcher at Griffith University just proved mathematically why this keeps happening. The paper is on arXiv. The finding is one sentence.
AI text detectors have a structural flaw that no amount of better engineering can fix.
Here is what the math says.
If a university wants its detector to catch 80% of cheaters, at least 750 out of every 10,000 innocent students will be wrongly accused. That is not a software problem. It is a theorem.
If the university tries to limit false accusations to 1%, detection power collapses to 6%. It catches 6 out of every 100 AI-written papers. The other 94 get through.
There is no setting where the detector is both fair and effective.
The reason is diversity. Every student writes differently. Non-native English speakers use simpler vocabulary. Shorter sentences. Clearer structures. So does AI. A Stanford study found that 61.3% of TOEFL essays written by non-native English speakers were misclassified as AI-generated. A separate analysis tested 14 commercial detection tools. Zero out of 14 reached 80% accuracy.
The students most likely to be wrongly accused are non-native English speakers, neurodivergent students, and anyone who writes with clarity and precision. The qualities that make their writing effective are the same qualities the detector mistakes for a machine.
Vanderbilt University understood this. They disabled Turnitin's AI detection in 2023 after calculating that even a 1% error rate across 75,000 submissions would produce 750 wrongful accusations per year.
750 students accused of cheating for writing like themselves.
The paper's conclusion is not that we need better detectors. It is that the diversity of human writing itself makes accurate detection mathematically impossible.
The same thing that makes your writing yours is the thing that gets you accused.

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
