They will NOT make a billionaire contribute to the basic needs of the community BUT they will make the whole community bear the electrical, water, and building costs of a data center owned by a billionaire.
Right, like this was EXACTLY what people said they wanted post-Trump. First term Trump was exhausting. People hated it. He botched Covid. He was completely incompetent.
People just wanted normalcy and competent government again. Biden came in and basically got us out of Covid and turned the economy around to where it was the envy of the world.
And despite doing what everyone claimed to want, voters (egged on by a bored/hostile media) found all sorts of relative minutia to hate about it.
"My McNuggets cost $1.50 more. My Doordash order for my family of 5 is now $120; thanks Joe Biden!" And on and on.
And then, the voters (who have the memory of goldfish and were again helped big time by a complicit media) forgot how much they hated Trump 1 and believed all his very obvious bullshit about 'lowering prices on day one' and such.
It's very convenient to blame Joe Biden for not 'vanquishing' Trump but it's also complete bullshit.
Forty-seven members of Congress skipped the vote on the KIDS Act, which establishes the infrastructure for mass surveillance of Americans online.
This bill needed a two-thirds majority to pass, so just 17 more no votes could have sunk it!
A couple members might have a legit excuse, but 47? No way. They bailed to avoid going on the record, even at the cost of furthering the surveillance state.
The moral calculus here is simple.
For decades there was bipartisan congressional agreement to fund lifesaving programs. 80% of Americans agree with providing food and medical supplies to the worlds poorest people.
Elon was neither elected nor confirmed. He illegally and gleefully destroyed USAID, which did not save any money - in many cases he just disrupted distribution of supplies already purchased - but he did kill many children.
The closest analogy would be burning down a food bank causing people to die of starvation. It was an illegal act that was wasteful and caused harm. You can’t defend it by saying “what obligation do we have to fund food banks?”
Reminder that this act would require EVERYONE to get checked for age verification
Government and Companies could not be happier to use kids as an excuse to spy on you
Sorry man, everything fucking sucks now and everybody feels it. The event sucks dick, and anybody could’ve guessed it would. They try to get dunks in and run everyone’s noses in the fact that they’re in power at every opportunity. Who gives a fuck
This is propaganda which suggests that the Trump admin was *required* to end TPS for Haiti, even though the crisis which led to the designations in 2021-2024 has not ended, Haiti is not safe to return to, and DHS civil servants recommended renewal. It was a choice!
Ranchers have sabotaged Colorado’s wolf reintroduction, like every other wolf reintroduction, baiting them with sheep that they neglected to death and shooting them when they came to the dead pile.
Then they cried to @COParksWildlife, who killed off the wolves for them.
every person that is anti-AC for climate change reasons should also give up their heater. heating contributes 4x the emissions that cooling does. if you are cold you should simply wear more clothing. this will save the earth and prove that you are Good and Moral.
Just a reminder that the Republican Ohio governor and the Republican mayor of Springfield are against deporting the Haitians. Even though this could kill their political careers, the people actually affected are against your "help" to "save" their communities.
After quietly dropping Persona following a breach, Discord partners with Incode to process your data during verification 🫥
Discord says Incode processes your biometric data on-device without storing it server-side. But that's exactly what they said about Persona until researchers found nearly 2,500 files sitting exposed on a government-connected server in February.
And this is the same platform that had 70,000 government ID photos exposed in a data breach just last October.
Their CTO says this is legally required in countries like the UK and that more vendor options are coming. That's fair. But a platform asking for your face and your ID, with that track record?
Would you still trust it?
Over 400 women have been arrested since they overturned Roe v Wade... yet not a SINGLE man has been arrested for raping children with Epstein.
It’s never been about protecting children... wake up.
