Why isn’t Trump in federal custody TODAY for inciting violence? #FireMerrickGarland

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is seeking an independent investigation into the Federal Reserve as well as the U.S. banking regulatory system while calling out Fed Chairman Jerome Powell for failing in his duties. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/warren-powell-fed-failed-banks-1234699915/

I wish more people understood that "I want the computer to generate a natural language text that sounds like a plausible answer to a question about x" and "I want the computer to answer a question about x" are two very different problems.

They say this, to scare you. They threaten to rise up, to cow you into submission, precisely because they are not strong enough yet to force you to obey, or kill you. I cannot stress this enough; if dipshit Trump-humping American fascists COULD go door to door and fucking merc the lot of you - they'd be doing it. They can't. So don't waste fucking moment being afraid of THAT outcome. Very real, very bad shit is happening. Boogaloo fantasies are just that; fascist fantasies and bullshit.

Too many people are being duped into mistaking fascism for patriotism

Barney Fife in drag in 1962. I just hope it didn’t hurt any children.

Mastodon has supposedly gone over 10 million accounts. Arbitrary landmark, but still significant, I think. https://mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount/110051957865629817

Dear News Media -

FFS, stop carrying The GOP's water every chance you get!

Donald Trump isn't being prosecuted for political reasons. He's being prosecuted because he has behaved like a criminal from even BEFORE he was nominated. You yourselves have reported this criminal behavior consistently! Don't you ever read your own copy?

"Journalists" like MSNBC's Alex Witt make it so much harder for the truth to get out because they consistently frame stories from Trump's/the GOP's POV as if that POV was legit.

That legitimacy vanished eons ago - and YOU reported it!

Please stop giving credence to criminal behavior by casting it as political. There's a difference between acting politically and acting criminally for political purposes.

You need to learn the difference. Start by putting your cynicism aside. Both sides do not do this.

Yup, another indictment for inciting sedition. This orange dotard either really has no respect for the rule of law or is utterly dumb ... or both!

Since the beginning of 🇷🇺 full-scale war in #Ukraine, 68 employees of the State Emergency Service have been killed and 201 have been injured.

Five Ukrainian rescuers are in russian captivity.

The same people who cry “politicization” over charges around a porn star hush money cover-up designed to swing a national election brought perjury and obstruction articles against another president for lying about a blowjob.

Spare me the sanctimony and hypocrisy.

86% of fentanyl convictions at the US/Mexico border are of US CITIZENS, not immigrants.

Like this guy. One of the Charlottesville tiki torch Nazis. Caught smuggling 33 pounds of fentanyl at the border.

THIS is who's smuggling fentanyl.

Lol a fascist mob of Trump fanatics were straight up gonna merk this dude on j6 and he's still out here lickin boots. Exceptional cowardice

"Mike Pence doubled down on his assertion that the prosecution of Donald Trump is politically motivated, blaming the “radical left” for the former president’s potential impending arrest."

A California quail with her chick. She looks like a tea cosy keeping it warm. 🤎 🤍 🖤

This is an extremely vertical photograph, which needs to be clicked in order to see both the quail's tuft and the chick.

Trump called for mob violence -- not mere "protests" as so many of our willfully blind Big Journalism orgs are reporting -- when he's indicted. Don't think otherwise, and don't be fooled by his apologists and all the other people who refuse to see what's right in front of our faces.
