The collective ignorance of MAGA, a cult that mindlessly repeats whatever they've been told by liars—and knows no actual history.

AI isn't reliable enough to get even a hamburger order right, but reckless Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pushing to expand artificial intelligence across the U.S. military, including AI-enabled targeting. "Would you like fries with that obliterated girls' school?"

If you guys have MAGA friends or relatives, tell them if they give you $3,000 now, you’ll give them the $5,000 check when you get it. Since they are such suckers, you might make a small fortune. 🤣🔄

Really excited to get random Facebook forwards about how AOC and Mamdani “were laughing” during the 9/11 commemoration (which didn’t happen) while everyone selectively doesn’t care that Trump fell asleep and actively didn’t care because he wasn’t the center of attention.

Life at the Republican convention: Someone waves a Palestinian flag and immediately kicked out. Someone loudly calls for the assassination of multiple Democratic politicians and the crowd roars its approval as the speaker smiles in approval.

The post-9/11 lionization of Giuliani rings hollow for many of us who lived and worked in lower Manhattan that day. He and his staff (along with Bush's EPA) frequently reassured us that the air quality was fine. It wasn't, as was apparent to anyone who was there on 9/11 and the weeks thereafter. 1/
