Guess it's not at all concerning that Homan is saying peaceful protestors are subject to facial recognition scans fed into some sort of database that allows the government to identify them for <checks notes> exercising their constitutional rights 🙃
Remember: the “elite” talk shit about Harvard constantly calling it woke but send their kids there. Bad for you but good for them. Their entire world view and policies behind them are lies.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
Our government isn’t broken.
It works great for billionaires.
For Big Pharma.
For Wall Street.
For corporations that can hire lobbyists.
It's rigged for the wealthy and well-connected.
We need to build a better system—one that works for working people.
Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
If posting with barbaric fervor about launching a genocide doesn’t warrant removal from office, then what would?
This moment demands invoking the 25th Amendment. If Vance and the Cabinet want any redemption from history, this is their chance.
And while Congress can’t invoke the 25th Amendment, they could at least reconvene from spring break & demand their War Powers back, rather than be complicit as well.
I feel sick to my stomach waiting around today to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom that our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's really an indictment not just of the electorate but of our whole system of government. We're ruled by a mad king.
The Epstein class's kids won't die in this war. Poor families' kids will.
Billionaires won't suffer. Middle class families will pay more for everything.
And for what? For a different hardline cleric to run Iran than the one who was about to die soon anyway?
Two statements that are compatible.
a. I don't think concealed carry is a good policy.
b. I do not believe that someone carrying a gun in compliance with a state's gun laws gives federal law enforcement the right to murder them.
All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
