The Kansas Supreme Court reaffirmed abortion protections in the state’s Constitution on Friday. It struck down Republican-backed laws that banned a common second-trimester abortion procedure and that created new licensing requirements for abortion clinics.

This story hits a little harder now that the jury documents for Epstein's case have been released (and Trump's name is ALLLLLL over those documents). Again, mainstream media is burying this story for Trump.

Poland saved itself from autocracy w/massive voter turnout: "leadership played a pivotal role... a veteran insider successfully challenged an authoritarian incumbent... baggage of Tusk’s career was offset by the benefits of his vast experience.. self-restraint & collaborative spirit were crucial."

Another pop-up card—this time in turquoise and lime green. Note the embossed, distressed wood texture, subtle coliur gradients in the leaves, and tiny gems. The patterned background is leftover wrapping paper.

“Bloodless if the left allows it to be” isn't a warning or a threat, it's a promise, not just to anyone who "gets in the way" but a promise that those who don't fit into their plan for a cowardly new world are expendable. This is a promise of terrorism. 🎁🔗⬇️

Human art is currently better quality than AI art, but is less profitable to produce and so is valued less by the market, because market value doesn't track quality. Even if AI art never gets beyond mediocrity, this and other AI problems will persist and will demand a basic income solution.

I used to live in Washington, DC. I admire the American "experiment". Despite their personal failings, the "Founding Fathers" put together an imperfect but transformative nation. Happy 4th of July to my American friends. Now, please don't fuck up your hard won democracy.

When folks argue that a Universal Basic Income would deter working, think about those million-dollar CEOs. If a modest $15k is enough to make one quit working, wouldn’t multi-million dollar packages make CEOs practically comatose? Yet, here they are, still CEOing. Weird isn't it?
