There's an argument being made by some leftists that "if they can do it to Trump they can do it to you." This only makes sense if you believe that rightists are somehow waiting on Dems to make the first move. Newsflash: they're not waiting for anything.

Yes, they can do it to you. Yes, they *will* do it to you.

There won't be any of Garland's punctilio or circumspection. They don't care whether the i's are dotted or the t's crossed.

@StillIRise1963 never gets old

Was able to capture a new gate code in my community using my Flipper Zero with its new external sub-mhz antenna. There are about 20 gates in my community and I have about 5 now.

Good morning selfie! For the first time in a good long while I went to bed and woke up at a normal hour.

This absolutely mean I won't be sleeping for the next 30 hours because my brain is a nightmare, but in the meantime look at how well rested I look!

Folks, when they roll back voting rights, try to ban books, invade privacy, attack bodily autonomy, and crow about critical race theory, it's because they've run out of ideas to hold onto power.

We need to not get taken in by Trump. Who cares if *he* says he’s going to be arrested on such-and-such a day. The person who will determine when the grand jury will vote to indict is Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney.

Trump is making noise to further grift his supporters out of millions. Ignore him!

She's just like me fr

Most folks I know who are worried about AI aren’t worried about these programs becoming self aware and oppressing us. That’s not a thing. We’re worried about all the ways these systems will ramp up existing inequalities and further obliterate our shared reality as human beings. That’s already happening.

A Utah parent just became the hero america needs

Using draconian Christian conservative laws that republicans use to ban books

…in order to ban the Bible

“You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic”

We need a bat-signal for heroes like this…

This is so dumb. Now you’ll know for sure who’s a fool and who is not.

About the killing of Irvo Otieno as he was undergoing a mental health crisis in a Virginia hospital, Ben Crump states:

"I got so many calls from all across America, across the world, saying, 'Why?' This is so unnecessary. He’s handcuffed and shackled. If they just leave him in the room and wait for him to get proper medical attention, then who’s at harm?"
