Don’t forget: billionaires are using their grip on social media and the news to convince us that peaceful protests don’t work, our vote doesn’t matter, and that both parties are the same. They’re spending billions on it.

New research indicates Walmart is working to compile massive amounts of data on individual shoppers and potentially charge them different prices, despite the company’s denial. This shady tactic is called surveillance pricing, and Walmart isn’t the only corporation planning to use it. Watch.

🚨 IOWA SENATE SHOCKER: Josh Turek is within striking distance of flipping a seat Democrats haven’t won since 2008. Trump carried Iowa by 13 points in 2024. But anger over the economy & the Iran war has transformed the race. A Turek win would help Dems take back the Senate. Let’s finish this. #Vote

Are AI executives begging for immunity from damage they created? Is the sudden concern about "humanity" a smokescreen for a technology with a 95% failure rate? Have AI executives been making knowingly false promises for years (i.e. fraud)? What do you think? www.thedataexperts.us/writing/ente...

If we lie about the results we get sued out of existence. The AI companies should subject themselves to a similar regime but that’s not going to happen with the people in charge. The republicans are useless and ideologically are opposed to regulation.

Remember when Trump said there was "very fine ppl on both sides" of a white supremacist rally, & everybody heard it loud & clear, but then he spent years gaslighting about it bc at another point he said "you had some very bad ppl in that group" as if that excused him praising violent racists? I do!

Tragically, we see incidents where people survive major storms but are killed by carbon monoxide from portable generators. Never run your generator indoors. Run generators outdoors at least 20ft away from your home.

If you are in the path of Hurricane Isaias and will use a portable generator to keep the power on, make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms. Portable generators can produce enough carbon monoxide to kill in minutes.

The desperation is palpable
Mohammed El-Sayed is a terrible Candidate for the Dumocrats. While his opponent, Mike Rogers, is an extremely good one, Mohammed goes back to the days of the Jihad. He is a RADICAL Extremist, Terrorist Sympathizer, and no different from his best friend, America Hating Hasan Piker. How’s France doing? Mohammed’s Values are not exactly those of Michiganders, or those of our Great United States of America! He is WRONG for Michigan, and WRONG for America. VOTE FOR MIKE ROGERS — HE HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT, AND WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Good. More naming and shaming may lead to less abuse. Some boys will only "be boys" if they can safely assume there will be no consequences. We need to as a society make it abundantly clear that rape is never acceptable and that rapists can expect to be shunned on a long term basis for it.
