Senior Democrats would much rather have a Republican who serves the rich than a socialist who serves the people.

He is already responsible for dozens of children dying of measles in Samoa, although he won't admit responsibility.

It doesn’t matter what color someone is, who they fuck, or what God they follow. It doesn’t matter if they’re disabled physically or mentally. Everyone deserves exactly what they need to be on a level playing field with everyone else. Everyone deserves safety, security, and everything they need to survive. Right now, PEOPLE are struggling. Yes, because others choose to degrade them for whatever reason, and we should focus on that, not what they’re being degraded for.

I think if you're being persecuted daily for being trans, for example, it's going to be important to you to call out those who attack trans people, and to stick together with other trans people to fight for your rights. Your identity as a trans person is important because it's their pretext for oppressing you and it's your solidarity as a community in fighting that oppression you experience together. Sure, in a sense it's quite right to say "hey, in the end we're all just people and we should get past all this identity stuff." But in reality the only people for whom that move is available in a political context are those with the luxury of not being oppressed for who they are.

The White House has framed the upset victory by Mamdani, who could become New York City's first Muslim and Indian American mayor, as evidence of uncontrolled migration...

And by "uncontrolled migration" they mean "brown people getting uppity and not knowing their place."

Ideally it wouldn't matter. But when people are treated badly because they are not white or not cisgender or not straight, identity becomes a necessary and important tool for unity and resistance. Identity is a political thing.

If it gets wrong enough, people will stop using it. So it would be in the interests of AI companies to pay for good sources of data.

Or at least you'd hope that. In actual fact they'll be thinking: let's keep stealing because most people don't know or care whether what the AI says is true. Besides, they can make money by turning it into a tool for disseminating the views of those who can pay the most.

A Russian who has opposed Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Trump's probably on the phone to Putin promising her delivery right now. It's one less academic in the USA too - from MAGA's perspective everybody wins!

Their recruiters admire your ambition and will be in touch.

Doesn't seem to protect him from getting a black eye.

Their priority is preserving their own privileges and comforts, and if that means tolerating a bit of fascism, so be it.

Of course it is. It didn't go down too well in Ukraine.

These useless techbros have all decided that they are the best humanity has ever produced and their genes should be the only ones to survive while everyone else dies off. Meanwhile it's glaringly obvious to all the rest of humanity that philosophically ignorant fascist eugenicist techbro narcissists are among the worst humanity has produced.

He sounds perfect for MAGA. "None of you deserve this respect, but I am special."

It would be nigh on discourteous not to!

I think the intel was wrong

The intel said that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons. The strikes happened because Trump decided to ignore the intel in favor of the random imaginings in his head, and no doubt Netanyahu encouraged him.

Yeah it's the media's unfailing ability to find the most ambiguous wording possible for every headline.

"... they don't know what the fuck they're doing."

He always was a master of projection.

It has been working for them for decades. Why stop now?

I'm good with the media constantly reminding people how old he is. He was always dim, and he's getting dimmer.
