The reason the right are so anti Mamdani is pretty obvious. They don’t want you to see what your tax dollars being put to work the right way would actually look like. Then everybody would want that to happen everywhere.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than Citigroup after making $4 billion in profits, charging 32.74% interest on credit cards & slashing 20,000 jobs.

Trump said he'd cap credit card interest rates at 10% & his tax breaks would create jobs. He lied.

I just want to say it's objectively hilarious that Apple makes a product called the Neo and the Duo in 2026. If you know you know

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

While you never got that $2,000 tariff refund check that Trump promised, here’s who did:

Walmart: $2.9 billion
Apple: $2.2 billion
Nike: $986 million
Amazon: $600 million
GM: $500 million
UPS: $500 million

The Trump Administration: Of, by, and for the billionaire class.

Wait, so we were told to take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth, and conserve water at every opportunity… but data centers can show up and use millions of gallons like it’s nothing?

So let me get this straight:

If I miss one payment on my car, they can repossess it within weeks.

But my insurance company can sit on my claim for eleven weeks, deny it twice, and force me to hire a lawyer just to get money I already paid for.

I owe them on their schedule.

They owe me whenever they feel like it.

Funny how the contract only has a deadline in one direction.

yesterday an old lady withdrew 35000 from her account and me and both my managers went over scams with her and she assured us she wasn’t being scammed. Guess who came in with her angry daughter today because she shipped it to Florida?

Interesting, because Amazon would have me believing that in order to digitize a book you have to destroy the rare first edition version of it for your AI.

𝗜'𝗟𝗟 𝗦𝗔𝗬 𝗜𝗧 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡:

𝗜𝗧 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗕𝗘 𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗟 for companies to charge "restocking fees" when you return an unopened item.

You returned the exact product in the exact box. Nothing was broken, used, or damaged.

They aren't restocking anything. They're just fining you for changing your mind and calling it operational costs.

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

‼️ BREAKING: Journalists hid an Airtag in a rare book shipment and confirmed Amazon to be one of the buyers behind the bulk orders destroying rare-books to feed their AI.

They tracked it to Amazon's LAS8 warehouse in Las Vegas, home to VGT3 (see logo below), a scanning operation feeding Amazon's AI training data, where workers say they cut the bindings off books to scan them faster.

Amazon won't say why the books are destroyed.

You have zero car accidents, zero speeding tickets, and a completely clean 10-year driving record.

Your auto insurance company suddenly raises your monthly premium by $65 a month.

When you call to ask why, they tell you your credit score dropped 20 points because you paid off a personal loan.

Auto insurance isn't priced based on how safely you drive on the road……it's priced based on how much leverage financial institutions have over your bank account.

"There are no Amish with autism"

There are

"Vaccines aren't tested against placebo"

They are

"MMR has never been studied as a possible cause of autism"

It has. It's not the cause.

I apparently need to say this stuff over and over and over and over again.

And again.

Michigan State Senator Jeremy Moss (D) was caught on tape saying:

Btw, people have survived centuries without data centers but have never survived without clean water.

[IT Guy @T3chFalcon]

In 2015 Lenovo shipped laptops with software that broke HTTPS for every user.

Installed deliberately for ad revenue.

Lenovo pre-installed a piece of adware called Superfish on consumer laptops starting September 2014. Its purpose was to scan every image you view on the internet and inject ads for similar products.

To do that on HTTPS pages, it needed to intercept your encrypted traffic.

So it did something catastrophic.

it installed itself as a trusted root certificate authority on your laptop. Meaning your browser treated Superfish as a trusted source of certificates, the same level of trust as VeriSign, DigiCert, or your bank's own certificate authority.

Everything you did over HTTPS- banking, email. shopping. medical records was being decrypted by Superfish, analyzed for images, and re-encrypted before it reached you.

then it got worse.

Every Lenovo laptop shipped with the exact same certificate and the exact same private key.

The password protecting that private key was cracked in three hours by Security researcher, Rob Graham (Errata Security).

The password was "komodia."

The name of the Israeli company that made the code.

Once cracked, anyone with that private key could impersonate any website to any Lenovo user on earth. your bank. your email. any HTTPS site. a fake page would show a valid padlock and your browser would trust it completely.

Lenovo's initial response: "we have thoroughly investigated this technology and do not find any evidence to substantiate security concerns."

Then the password was posted publicly online.

Lenovo paid $7.3 million to settle the class action lawsuit.

The EFF called it "catastrophically irresponsible."

Crazy stuff.

I remember Republicans losing their shit over four US deaths in Benghazi and 13 during the Afghanistan withdrawal.

But now Trump and Hegseth say four service members deaths don’t count because it was during a ceasefire?🤦‍♂️
