Cyberattacks on infrastructure should be considered terrorism and punished accordingly. Anyone convicted of cyberterrorism shouldn't be able to legally use an Internet-connected computer for the rest of their lives. It should be like people convicted of gun crimes lose their right to use guns...

As Trump calls for thousands of factory workers in Kansas and Indiana to lose their jobs on Labor Day, the WH puts out a video that doesn’t show a single American worker.

Every Mother's and Father's Day kids around the country ask their parents why there isn't a Kid's Day, and the answer is always the same: "Every other day of the year is Kid's Day." It's the same with Labor Day and Capital Day. We need Labor Day because every other day of the year is theirs!

How about this: Flock cameras get to stay up, but the ACLU and the SPLC control the data, and no law enforcement agency gets access without a warrant. If it's really about solving crime, then this should be no problem, right? Oh, and they also get placed outside every gun shop and show...

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

I'm sure no-one in the @nytimes.com or any other major news outlet will call this statement genocidal. That will say more about them than 1.000 editions. This is genocidal rhetoric by a man with the power to turn it into reality. A failure to call Trump out is complicity Complicity in genocide.

Trump says transgender people will "end" if GOP keep Congress in midterms.

My wife and I saw "Coyote vs. Acme" last night. Great movie! Before the feature, AMC saw fit to show trailers ONLY for movies targeting young children, including one for Bluey...at a 9pm show. The movie itself is clearly aimed at adults, and it was late Sunday! Come on! I was hoping for Dune 3.

Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
