Does it ever occur to these Miss Millies that the adults had a discussion and decided that given how racist Texas voters are, and T's team made it known that "he was more electable", her not openly campaigning for him was a strategic choice? As always, defaults to ordering Black women to work.

This kind of racist entitlement happens all over the country. White people want to re-colonize the spaces that exist because their parents and grandparents fled due to integration, and discriminatory "containment" policies created those spaces. They think "we're baaaaack" and in charge.

NYPD keeps insisting it’s not working with ICE in the narrowest scope of not literally participating in kidnappings but then goes silent when people present evidence of ICE using their precincts/parking lots, of NYPD doing crowd control. Big difference in technical and de facto assistance.

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.

In case you don’t want to read it: young woman reported a rape at knifepoint, police did what the always do & disbelieved her—esp. since she was a former foster kid & one of her truly vile foster mothers anonymously called police to say she was “a liar”—then that man went on to rape many more women.

📌Greg Abbott received a $7.4 million dollar judgement in 1985 when a tree fell on him putting him in a wheelchair. When he later ran for office, he was instrumental in passing tort reform laws capping insurance payouts for victims of accidents like his at $750,000. Enough of these horrible people.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good." 

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues  "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
