I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1
I asked Sen. Jon Ossoff a question from his constituent Andres Carrillo today:
Does he regret voting for the Laken Riley Act, which suspends due process and legalizes racial profiling? What’s he doing to help victimized communities in Georgia?
This is Cereese Qusba, the hero investigative journalist for the Cornell Daily Sun who doggedly pursued the story about the Cornell 7 for two years, blowing the lid off what had happened when her article was finally published on the 19th..
With so many dark posts about such a horrific incident, Ms. Qusba’s work shows the importance of journalism in accountability. She is the best of Cornell.
The Los Angeles Times is running a full webpage advertisement promoting tourism to Israel.
The ad is backed by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism.
The ad also includes a map of Israel that erases Palestine.
Which is why I’ve been saying for a year that Thiel will have Vance sit out 2028 (citing some weird contorted religious/family reason) and recalibrate for 2032 against a Democratic incumbent, who they hope will be an incrementalist

7 frat boys at Cornell drugged a young student and raped her.
They sent text messages to other men that she was “free” and they could come join in.
Their punishment?
Writing essays to Cornell.
Arrest & prosecute every one of them and fire whoever doled out the “discipline”
AOC puts out long statement on AI:
"Silicon Valley billionaires want us to believe that Al robots will destroy humanity. But the biggest threat to humanity are the tech oligarchs themselves."
AI did not go 'rogue', did not 'solve' the Navier-Stokes problem, does not have 'goals', is not and will not ever be conscious, certainly is not going to evolve into a god-device and wipe out humanity. Criti-hype obscures the real dangers.

You voted to deny healthcare for 9/11 first responders. Twice.
You justified it to a first responder who had had part of his foot amputated it by calling it a “New York problem.”
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I actually saw Trump on 9/11 karate chopping the hijackers.
Then he carried a puppy and a kitten to safety before delivering a baby at ground zero while humming the National anthem wearing star spangled underwear with a Bible in his pocket .
True story.
