A friend shared this thought with me, and, to be honest, I find it a little depressing.

Too many of us wished we had done more in 2016. That's why our movement is doing everything we can to get out the vote — because we know it’s easier to stop Trump now than fight his dangerous policies later. No matter where you live, you can help us defeat Trump and MAGA extremists over the next 17 days.

Republicans have chosen the most notorious criminal in American history Donald Trump as their 2024 nominee. The chaos that the 78-year-old convicted felon and aspiring dictator is spawning with incessant lies and inciting violence.

Republicans have no qualms about lying on their candidate’s behalf. They’re more than willing to maintain fraud, lies, and destruction of American democracy. All right before our eyes.

Journalist Katie Couric interviews Attorney and law professor Neil Katyal about how the crime org republicans will try to steal the election again.

Three billionaires donated $220 million to Donald Trump between July and September.

Read that back.

Three people. $200 million. In just three months.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

If you're at a rally, and someone is flying a Nazi flag but isn't being kicked out for it, you're at a Nazi rally.

If you're at a Nazi rally and you don't leave, you're a Nazi.

GOP Disinformation is becoming more destructive

ME: No.

This is how the Republicans are:

While in the states, Ukrainian president Zelenskyy decided to visit an ammunition factory which supplies artillery shells for Ukraine, to thank the ordinary American men and women who work there — people like you and me, who do their best to support Ukraine.

And for that, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson now demands that the Ukrainian ambassador is fired, because showing that you are on the side of freedom is just “too partisan”.

Shame on this man.

No #Google, I do NOT want a free one-month trial of Gemini AI "advanced features". What I DO want is a way to turn off your mediocre AI crap in Search and every other aspect of my interaction with any of your products or services.

"The sound of Americans cheering Vladimir Putin at a Trump rally should disgust every right-thinking person, but it’s a sign of how corrupt the Republican Party has become that they boo Zelensky and cheer Putin at Trump’s behest."

It needs to be repeated. 1st Trump refused to condemn the bomb threats to teachers & students in schools. The next time he was asked about bomb threats to doctors, nurses & patients in Ohio hospitals, he again refused to condemn them.
Seth Meyers said this on A Closer Look, to point out just how horrible that is.

You really just don't need any more information about how they're going to operate. They haven't even won the election and they are targeting legal immigrants who were invited here for deportation because they are black, based on what they acknowledge to be lies.

No more debates are needed, no more articles, no more polls. If you don't see the MAGA movement as a Nazi rerun at this point there's no hope for you. Pick a side.

After 18 months investigating claims that LLMs can do X, or Y or Z, I think - going forward - I'm just going to skip straight to disbelief to save time.

Please do not add genAI images to punch up your writing. You might think that it adds a nice little bit of visual pizazz to your content-marketing piece, but what you're actually doing is *making it look like content marketing* rather than a useful resource. To the extent that content marketing is an effective tactic, it is because you build trust with the customer by providing them valuable information. A genAI turd plopped on top of your writing is a signal that it will be worthless slop.

Nothing has reminded me of the unending stress and chaos of a Trump presidency like him being in the news all the time again through this election cycle.

Even I had kind of forgotten how bad it was to wake up and see what awful thing was happening that day. This entire election has been like a Baskin-Robbins tasting spoon of 4 more years of this fucking shit and I'm already so exhausted of it.

I genuinely think I'm not the only one who feels this way and he's overpolling.

Enough of this.

If Republicans treated an attempt on Donald Trump's life at a golf course like they do mass murders in schools:

"We have to live with it. It's a fact of life."
"Golf courses need fewer exits."
"Was the shooter bullied?"
"We need to arm caddies."
"Golfers need bullet-proof golf bags."
"Cops patrolling every golf course!"
"Maybe more shooter drills on golf courses would help?"
"Were the 10 commandments displayed at the course?"
