We’ve got the inside story of how Trump’s displeasure with seeing homeless people in D.C. became the first domino in a series of actions that culminated in the administration’s stunning decision to weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans to live in their homes and communities.

How Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rights

After issuing a memo making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the Justice Department began abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in the community.

Hebrew punctuation precedes Zionism as a political movement by about a 800 years. It was not in any way integral to "spoken Hebrew" and the unity between Jews across the world was never "artificial". It's just wrong on so many levels.

The fact that this idiocy got past an editor in a book on godamn punctuation shows how deep the ignorance of Judaism and Jewish history is in the wider culture and how that ignorance is being weaponized so as to create a better scapegoat for Western uses

There simply is no such thing as a candidate the too-cool-for-democrats crowd won’t scream is morally unacceptable. It’s pointless to do what they say they want; they’ll never acknowledge it. The only thing to do is ignore them and press on.

That candidate does not exist. We could nominate AOC, and the same people who spent the Biden administration screaming that he was trying to murder us all and then 2024 calling Harris a genocidal transphobe will say the same sorts of things about her.

“But Dana, it was because of Gaza” Before 10/7 they were saying you should withhold votes for democrats because Biden wasn’t forgiving student debt fast enough. Before that they said his policy of four free covid tests per household was eugenics. There is nothing you can say or do.

Dimly recalling my APD knowledge: third parties act as pressure groups, historically (e.g., Populist Party) But also, since the halcyon days of the Populist Party, we have since enacted the primary system, so again, unclear what a third party accomplishes that primary elections don't already

In the vein of AI making everything better 🙄 today google discontinued their google assistant that we used to verbally add things to a grocery list. Instead you now have to use Gemini which cannot complete the same task. Anyone have a good android list app that allows you to add things by speaking?

I hear your frustration. Google transitioned from Google Assistant to Gemini to provide a more capable, conversational Al partner that can handle complex tasks, reasoning, and context across Google apps.

However, Gemini is still evolving, and certain simple assistant features (like specific smart home integrations or list management quirks) are still being refined.

This will be one of the most important immigration cases in a generation. The Trump admin claims that a 1996 law mandates the detention of millions of people without any right to a bond hearing; every person who entered illegally, no matter how long in the past. If they win, it's a nightmare.

Tommy: There's nothing wrong with doing 1 or 2 events with her to see if you can pull back some moderate Republicans

Emma: I disagree. It's underdiscussed how the name Cheney associated Kamala Harris with an already existing weakness—the warmongering

I'm so sick of so many of you. The fact that you have to do or excuse bad things and bad behavior and bad people to support someone you want to support is very problematic and disappointing. You shouldn't act so counterproductive. You're just showing you're not built for what comes next. Winning.

Trump started a war that Biden intentionally did not start, and in fact told Bibi to fuck off about. And this fact has broken the brains of the weakest minded on this app. Because it definitively proves Biden was the better choice than Trump, and they fucked up and caused way, way more harm.
