🔥JACK SMITH: "Trump engaged in serious crimes against 🇺🇸- a criminal scheme to prevent a lawful transfer of power... the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we've experienced. I won't be silenced by threats of prosecution. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well."

One of the most ridiculous things about the hateful anti-Muslim backlash to the mayor showing up at the 9/11 memorial is these same people would be attacking Zohran if he *didn't* make plans to show up.

The Democratic Party is broke because regular donors who feel the sting of fascism have given up on them as representatives. The PACs are flooded with dark money supplementing the deficit so they won’t fight data centers or AI and will ward off the Left. That’s what’s happening.

Plenty of smart people don't go to college, but I think there's a real case to be made that actual formal education is important for high-level government officials. "Smart" on its own isn't enough.

So a masculinist understanding of notetaking would think a transcription app is the same as taking notes. That’s why they think an AI transcript is a time-saver. They think the notes are the thinking because when a human takes the notes, it is.

Then they have all the transcripts (and the ai token bill) but no sensemaking. so they make another app — a layer that will make sense of all the useless transcripts. But of course sensemaking isnt just pattern spotting. It’s interpretation. AI cannot do either because AI cannot be curious

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”
We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism.

Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.

More Americans have been killed in the Iran war Trump started than in the Afghan withdrawal Biden was handed and completed. The implications for America’s geopolitical situation is much worse with attacking Iran than leaving Afghanistan. But going by tone of coverage, one would think the opposite.

The reason to not defund all the pillars of a functioning society to save money is that society collapses and no money is saved. The reason to not spend all the money on police and tax breaks for wealthy pricks is then the wealthy pricks have everything in a police state designed to protect them.

The supremacist spirit rests upon foundational lies: 1) We bear no relationship to one another. 2) Life must be earned. 3) Failing to earn life is a crime that slavery redeems. These are the foundational principles of the U.S., if you peek beneath the documents to see what the machine does.

Considering the GOP wants to deport people who have lived in the US their entire lives I think this is absolutely consistent with how we discuss one’s belonging to a state/country/community. And I’m sure it was in response to a Q about how California transplants aren’t real Texans.
