yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

1923: Hitler’s failed coup. No real consequences. No fundamental changes. 1933: Hitler takes power. Make no mistake, “Project 2025” is Trump’s art of “Mein Kampf”.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

Liz Cheney, who's unpopular with both her own party and Dems, is probably the second worst idea I've heard. Hillary Clinton being the worst, of course.

You know part of the problem is even if the entire Supreme Court dropped dead tomorrow Bidens appointees would at best be 5-4 conservatives.

Biden is the second Dem president in a row to take office with a clear mandate to destroy the Republican party for it's very obvious crimes and abuses, only to insist that a Return To Normalcy was far more important than justice, democracy, or the will of the people. All they care about is brunch.

It’s unfortunate they put in the constitution that you can only nominate someone for president if they’re either over 80, a convicted felon who paid off a porn star, or have brain worms and a taste for barbecued dog, but that’s the system we’ve got. At least once we elect them they get full impunity

It's more like the Democrats want to play by the rules of the game, but this is not the game. The game is over. This is the beat down in the parking lot after the game and the ref has joined in.

Ppl are retweeting this and I just want to add that faxing is THE most annoying thing to do to your representatives. There are websites where you can fax for a small fee and those machines are LOUD and then at the very least they have to deal with all the print outs.

People keep referencing guillotines & gallows, but the American response to this situation has tended to range from "mob justice" to "mail bombs" For these reasons, past generations of US elites have sought to preserve at least the *illusion* of a fair system of laws. But the mask is fully off now.

I had an argument with someone who objected to the settler colonial label and asked if Indian or Eastern European immigrants to the UK were settlers. My argument was that the UK doesn’t give immigrants more rights than natural born Britons.
