(screenshot of LinkedIn comment from Sreekanth Kumbha)

I can suggest an equation that has the potential to impact the future:

E = mc^2 + AI

This equation combines Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, which relates energy (E) to mass (m) and the speed of light (c), with the addition of AI (Artificial Intelligence). By including AI in the equation, it symbolizes the increasing role of artificial intelligence in shaping and transforming our future. This equation highlights the potential for AI to unlock new forms of energy, enhance scientific discoveries, and revolutionize various fields such as healthcare, transportation, and technology.

[WATCH] 9/11: The Philippine connection www.rappler.com/world/global... via @rapplerdotcom In 2005, we showed links between the plot discovered in the PH in the mid-90s, the arrest of the first pilot recruited by group later known as al-Qaeda & the 9/11 mastermind who lived in the Philippines then.

This good summary of Trump’s “whole-of-government” effort to subvert and control the 2026 and 2028 elections raises the question: Would Trump go to all this trouble for Vance, or Rubio, or anyone but…himself? Won’t Trump at least try to run in 2028?

It needs to be made more forcefully that every US citizen is a birthright citizen. They are saying that US law devalues citizenship and that they hate that law because it confers citizenship on those that they despise.

Okay, bear with me for a second. Because I've held this theory for a long time. And I kinda feels like this confirms it. The death of Harambe was the tipping point of no return for the unserious right-wing turn of America. 🧵
The official White House Twitter account posted a picture of Harambe the gorilla with a caption that reads:

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

it's not even about the ridiculous things they keep saying, and it would really be great if any journalist would ever remind them of this, because the list of things they say you need an ID to do are not rights guaranteed to you by the U.S. Constitution, while voting is.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you

With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

@JohnMitnick
I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.

I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.

Impeach and remove Trump—now.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. 

The thugs wrestled him to the ground.  They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times.  They murdered him.
