@Acyn Can someone in their response just say “yes Scott, the Supreme Court, you, and republicans are racist assholes that look at non white citizens as subservient”
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

But Republicans want you to think someone working 40 hours a week for poverty wages, relying on SNAP and Medicaid to survive, is the problem.

ANALYSIS: Colorado Republicans often call for more manual election processes and hand counting of ballots - and Colorado GOP events often make a mess of that process.
Their state assembly on Saturday had 90 more votes than credentialed voters. They decided to count them anyway.
5 minutes before Trump’s announcement:
* $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip.
* $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold.
More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close.
Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!
Kristi Noem spent $220 MILLION on a 60-second ad.
Pete Hegseth spent $93 BILLION in one month.
Trump just gave four Big Tech companies a $51 BILLION tax break.
And you’re worried about a single mom getting a few bucks from SNAP to feed her kids?
Wake up, people.
Not to sound like a “crusty old millennial,” but the pandemic caused so many people to abandon real human interaction. At the same time Twitter, TikTok, podcasts and other media were taken over by right wing man-o-sphere content, which fully broke our collective brains. It’s bad.
The world is witnessing the most mentally-ill, inept, immature, and utterly incompetent presidential administration in American history.
Trump’s circus of sociopaths appear to think wars and death are for their entertainment.
The vast overwhelming majority of Americans disagree.
GÜNCELLEME!
OLAY OPENAI ŞİRKETİNİN İÇİNDE DE BÜYÜYOR!
Google ve OpenAI çalışanları "BÖLÜNMEYECEĞİZ" başlıklı açık mektup yayınladı. Google'dan 588, OpenAI'dan 93 mevcut çalışan imzaladı.
Mektup çok net konuşuyor. Savaş Bakanlığı Anthropic'i tehdit ediyor. Savunma Üretim Yasasını kullanarak modeli zorla askere almakla, şirketi tedarik zinciri riski ilan etmekle korkutuyor. Sebebi ne biliyor musunuz, Anthropic modellerinin kitlesel gözetleme ve insan denetimi olmadan insanları öldüren otonom silah sistemlerinde kullanılmasını reddettiği için.
Pentagon'un stratejisi şu, şirketleri birbirine düşür. Birinin korkusuyla diğerini ez. Eğer biri boyun eğerse diğeri de mecbur kalır.
Sam Altman tam da bu tuzağa düştü. Ya da düşmedi, bilerek koştu.
Ama çalışanlar bambaşka bir şey söylüyor. Diyorlar ki biz dünyanın en büyük iki yapay zeka şirketinin çalışanlarıyız. Liderlerimizin farklılıklarını bir kenara bırakıp bu talepleri birlikte reddetmesini bekliyoruz. Modellerimizin kitlesel gözetleme ve insan denetimi olmaksızın insanları öldürme amacıyla kullanılmasına izin vermeyeceğiz.
Sam Altman'ın kendi çalışanları ona rağmen Anthropic'in yanında duruyor. Kendi evinden isyan yükseliyor.
Bu artık şirketler arası bir rekabet değil. Bu insanlığın geleceğiyle ilgili bir sınav. Ve cevap gün geçtikçe daha net ortaya çıkıyor.
Sessiz kalmayın. Paylaşın. Herkes görsün!
In calling it an “internal” communicable Pam Bondi is also stupidly admitting something…
It concedes that Jack Smith was duly and legally appointed.
Because an “illegal appointment” like Republican try to claim, would mean it couldn’t be ‘internal’ DoJ property.
This is the most neutral summary I’ve seen of the Minnesota murder by ICE. It has ALL angles, it syncs them together, and shows the lead up and aftermath… if you watch this all and still think those shots were justified - you just might be a psychopath.
Stillwater teen Jesse Butler walks free after multiple rape charges, zero jail time.
Jesse Butler will serve no jail time.
Not a day.
Not a weekend.
Nothing.
Just counseling, curfews, community service, and supervision until he turns 19.
This week’s final sentencing paperwork dropped, and that’s why the entire internet snapped at once.
Because the newly surfaced details show exactly what he did:
– Multiple rapes
– Strangulation
– Two victims
– Recorded evidence
– Prior protective-order violation
And after all that, he walked out of court adjusting his cuffs like he was late to brunch.
Prosecutors originally sought 78 years.
Then the judge reclassified him as a “youthful offender” a judge with documented ties to his family.
The question remains: why did power protect violence in this situation?
