Cornell, you disgust me. You had a choice: harsh actions against frats or damage control. You chose to protect your school's reputation instead. Disgusting. 🤬 #Cornell

Banning major outlets from White House coverage isn't about "fake news" it's about avoiding scrutiny. The First Amendment exists because the press isn't supposed to be comfortable for those in power. Transparency isn't optional when you govern in the public trust. #PressFreedom #TrumpIsAJoke

NFL opening week? Chef's kiss 🤌 Arizona pulling off the upset over the Chargers wasn't even on my bingo card. Did anyone see that coming? #NFLWeek1

Trump's offer of $5,000 to every adult if the GOP wins the mid-term elections is clearly nothing more than a blatant attempt at national bribery and a definite no-no. Furthermore, if such a proposal were to be implemented, the nation would face bankruptcy. Why hasn't the FBI arrested him yet?

Every norm shredded. Every oversight blocked. Every check ignored. Not because Trump is unstoppable because Congress let him. Change Congress changes everything. Midterm election is approaching quickly so go vote to stop his chaotic king-like government. #Trump #Midterms

Google's new SL2T on Pixel 11 series is a genuine accessibility breakthrough. But here's the real question: is one standout feature enough to pull Deaf users out of Apple's walled garden? FaceTime. iMessage. The seamless integration. That's tough to leave. deepmind.google/blog/putting...

Surprise fees are the absolute worst. We're all fine paying for labor, even house calls but tacking on hidden charges you never mentioned? That's not a fee, that's a scam. Outrageous.

Kennedy Center board votes to put Trump's name back on the building, directly defying a federal judge's ruling. This isn't just arrogance; it's contempt for the rule of law. Only Congress can change the name. The board answered with a middle finger. Congress, your turn. #KennedyCenter

Sometimes the things life throws at us can feel overwhelming and utterly exhausting. But the good thing is, we all have a button in our brains that says "fuck the world" and when we press it, we retreat into our own space, a space that offers comfort and peace. Self meditation is the best tool. ❤️

Got into W Social (Europe's alternative to X/FB/Bluesky). First reaction: "Is this... Bluesky with different colors?" 👀 Because yeah, same UI with different palette. And yes, it's full of European news, sports, etc. And lastly, for full access, you would have to verify your ID. #WSocial #Europe

Good morning! The cross-country road trip was an adventure in every sense; stunning landscapes, unexpected detours, and one unfortunate incident that nearly put an end to the journey. It wasn’t smooth sailing, but in the end, my dogs and I crossed the finish line. Ready for the next chapter.

They say it's 'strategy.' I say it's 'rigging.' Ordering a party-wide effort to gerrymander maps isn't about governing; it's about stealing the mandate before the votes are counted. If that doesn't scream 'theft,' then what word are we saving for the actual crime? 🗣️🔥 Fuck you Trump and MAGA! 🤬

🚨 ALERT 🚨 Someone is trying to bring Spirit Airlines back... as a People-Owned airline. ❌ No faceless corporations. ✅ Just the people. The impossible is being attempted right now. Don't let this story die in the feed. Share it! 🔥 #SpiritAirlines

Spirit 2.0 — The Airline Owned by the People, for the People
Spirit Airlines collapsed. Before private equity locks it up, the people can own it. Join the Spirit 2.0 founding coalition. One member, one vote. Profits shared by all.

Spirit Airlines is gone. Another budget option wiped out. Why? Low prices failed when fuel costs skyrocketed multiple times and competitors undercut them with better service (funded by temporary losses they can actually afford). Slogans don't fly. Value does. Capitalism sucks. #SpiritAirlines

Gmorning! ☀️ • Govt can now use Google's AI for "any lawful purpose" (incl. classified work). • Deal pending finalization • Google has NO veto power over usage A massive shift in private tech/govt relations. Stay alert. 🚨 #AI #TechPolicy #Google

Google and Pentagon reportedly agree on deal for ‘any lawful’ use of AI
The classified deal apparently doesn’t allow Google to veto how the government will use its AI models.

We all have strong feelings about Trump but political violence of any kind is unacceptable. Yes, millions of us (myself included) deeply oppose him. But we're more powerful when we unite, vote strategically, and elect leaders who can hold him accountable. Your vote matters. Violence doesn't.

Tim Cook stepping down as Apple CEO? Good! There's no denying his recent moves have felt questionable to many, both in the boardroom and on the political stage. One thing I absolutely applaud: turning Apple into one of the most valuable companies on the planet. That was no easy feat. #TimCook

"Nudify" AI apps are still slipping through Apple & Google's app stores 🚨 They promise to remove them, but enforcement is inconsistent. What can these companies actually do? Hint: It's not just about policing their stores. It's about regulation. #AI #Deepfake #TechEthics #Apple #Google

As a Christian, I believe God didn't send Trump to lead this nation. He sent a test. A test for all of us to recognize the danger he poses to the world and how far his actions stand from Jesus's teachings. Those who voted for him three times have failed that test. Happy Easter, y'all! ✝️

Nothing says "protect election integrity" like an exec order to control mail-in voting... from a guy who voted by mail in Florida. 🤡 He’s clearly panicking about losing that "unlimited" grip on power. Blue tsunami is coming. #Midterms #VoteBlue
