To any woman, POC, or queer person thinking they may not be qualified to run for Congress: There is a white dude with an unwashed ass who will. Contact @runforsomething and just go for it!
NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani, tried to break through the state troopers to stop the mass deportations while shouting:
'DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE 1st AMENDMENT?'
This IS what it looks like when a leader is fighting for humanity. 👏
If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $834 billion that he's worth today. He'd still be the wealthiest man alive & every senior would have dental, vision & hearing under Medicare.
Half the country thinks Netanyahu should be arrested when he's in US. Only a quarter think he shouldn't. Yet, 100% of anchors on TV think it's an outrageous idea. What a coincidence that everyone in national media is against what Americans think and in favor of what Israel wants.
So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.
Reminder, Obama had an order that banned spam callers from calling your cell phone. It was one of the first things Trump rescinded when he took office in 2016.
To confirm:
Tim Walz passed a bill in MN banning services that use AI to generate nude images of minors.
Elon Musk, through xAI, is suing to block this bill.
When we call MAGA pedophile protectors, this is what we are talking about.
Israel is the only country in the world that can bomb 9 countries and invade 3 neighboring countries in one year; kill 100,000 people—including 25,000 children—in 1,000 days; displace nearly 6 million people in 3 countries; starve 2 million people in Gaza; violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty; kidnap, rape and torture children and women; shoot, imprison and murdering; and still be perceived as the victim.
I DO NOT think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. If your salary was $100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10,000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much wealth while others cannot eat.
Y’all should stop comparing ďying from poverty to Darwin's “survival of the fittest.” Poverty is a social construct driven by wealth hoarding in the post industrial age NOT by any natural shortage of resources.
"the human brain has yet to adapt to our world" is a weird way to say "the system we set up to make a handful of people extremely rich generally sucks for everyone else"
What really fucking boils my piss is that we had the opportunity to change the world after Covid. The pandemic produced a fascinating real-world experiment. It demonstrated that human activity can alter emissions and local environmental conditions extraordinarily quickly
