We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Popok reports an AI firm used by the Pentagon was blacklisted after adding ethical limits to its Claude AI—rejecting mass surveillance of Americans and autonomous killer robots—and after an internal memo called Trump a dictator. The firm is suing to defend its First Amendment rights.

Trump *is* doing debt cancellation. It's just not your student or medical debts. In his second term alone, Trump has already canceled $1.5 billion of criminal debt — payments fraudsters owe the federal government and victims. They don't mind debt cancellation—for themselves.

Dude... you basically ordered a 9/11 against them, killed their children, and martyred their religious leader. You've probably united Iranians against the U.S. better than the Ayatollah could have ever hoped to do on his own. Your handlers clearly haven't told you how bad you f'd this up.

Obviously hypocritical but the idea that renewable energy should just be available to the richest elites and landlord class with no subsidies or gov't support to make it widely accessible to us all is not a rare worldview www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

While running for Senate, former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy criticized “goofy, subsidized green energy crap” and said after taking office last year that military “readiness doesn’t include green solar power generation projects.”

The Montana Republican installed rooftop solar and battery storage systems at his Bozeman home several years ago, according to property records, satellite imagery and two local renewable energy industry officials who were granted anonymity to preserve commercial relationships.

Even if so, fudging the numbers still acknowledges or reflects the importance of an issue or at least of public opinion about it. The Trump Administration usually doesn't put much effort into falsifying data; they just lie completely lazily and inconsistently so the Epstein files must be REALLY bad.

Here's the first-ever Linkedin message from this company, which seems to be a small company run by two millennials with some background in migrant shelters. Four months ago they suggest they won a contract to run a "mass care site" in Lexington, KY, but this is their first-ever federal contract.

I feel like it should be bigger news that Trump is now openly considering a military draft. Young men haven't been called up for a draft since 1972. Not during the Gulf War. Not during Iraq or Afghanistan. He received five draft deferments but is now open to drafting your kids.

My thing with Hegseth is that he wants you to think he was a scary, war-criming, door-kicker when he was actually a Minnesota National Guardsman assigned to the 101st Airborne Division as a replacement in Iraq, then quickly pulled from the line and shuffled off to a Civil Affairs unit mid-tour.

That Trump's federal agents are being allowed to commit crimes is absolutely vile: harassment, theft, property damage, trespassing, violation of Constitutional rights, breaking and entering and home invasion, kidnapping, false imprisonment, assault, torture, rape, murder, and that's not even all.

Body cameras require much more stringent legislation. Until such exists, requiring ICE to use body cams won't address its lawless violence. Also know that CBP was specifically directed to stop getting in front of and shooting at vehicles in 2014: www.npr.org/sections/the... Ross meant to kill Good.

Why are they really doing this? There are much more important things to allocate public funds to. People need to understand that budgets are ballooned with foolishness like this as the justification, and then the organizations make sure to spend every dollar on ~whatever~ to keep their budget high.

Definitely. It appears that most Democrat voters are more actually left than most Democrat politicians who are 'moderate' or 'centrist' (neither label is accurate since the current Democratic Party is right-of-center) and certainly quite corporatist. Schumer continually betrays true leftist causes.

Please see my quote, and may I suggest that you legal experts stop providing empty reassurance on the topic of what Trump 'can't' do? We appear to be ignoring all he's already done and continues to get away with in flagrant violation of the law of the land. Federal judges threaten but can't enforce?

Idiyote @idiota.bsky.social · 09/03/2026
'Can't' yet will if all this administration's violations of the Constitution are any indication... Is anyone stating who will actually enforce the law and how? Who will truly defend the Constitution? What further bright red line needs to be crossed before enough of The People finally say, "Enough!"?
