Phillips is a wing-nut of the first order. All the shops are heaving with goods in Gaza, she’s done the research on YouTube.
Absolute disgrace.

@Geri @MadeyeTheCarnaptious predictable. Anybody not supporting “Britain” will be an extremist, and support for independence will be dealt with in much the same way as support for Palestine is dealt with today - it will be classified as extremism.
Anybody going to demonstrations or public protests will be subject to imprisonment, and they will risk losing their job.

Trump's 2nd-term economic agenda would hurt workers & kids to help the rich. He wants to:

-Cut taxes more for the rich
-Defund the IRS so the rich can cheat
-End student loan forgiveness
-End overtime rules
-Slash school lunches
-Allow child labor
-Weaken unions

Be warned.

Hey, Mastodon! Indiana's attorney general has created an anti-teacher snitch portal for people to report school teachers for being too woke. It allows you to upload files and everything!

There appears to be no safeguard against entering any text you want in any of the boxes, and no location/residence checking.

Dare I ask you to do your thing?

A new arXiv preprint from James Zou suggests that quite a few academics are also using ChatGPT to write their peer reviews.

I don't have to explain what an utter shitshow this is going to be, do I?

I feel like not enough people know this.

One third of Navajo Nation do not have access to clean drinking water and rely on unregulated wells or have no running water at all.

In 2023 the #Biden administration argued against using federal resources to provide clean water to the nation in front of #SCOTUS. SCOTUS agreed. #indigenous #navajonation #uspol

The difference between the two people running for president right now could not be more stark. Forget about any policy squabbles for a second and just look at how the two candidates describe their vision of the future.

The current president consistently seeks to strike a positive, proud tone and outlook for the country, however distasteful his policies may be to 50% of the electorate. This is good and normal and very much what we have come to expect over the years from those who hold the highest office in the land, and who command the most powerful armed forces in the world.

Meanwhile, Trump has very plainly said that there will be dark days ahead for this country -- whether he wins or loses. He's not proud of this country and says so constantly, and his disdain for everything the American flag stands for is exceeded only by his incessant need to drape himself in them.

And somehow this is an appealing choice for a good chunk of the electorate? Dark days ahead, indeed.
