To the ones who came before us. The ones who fought for us and those who will continue to fight for equal pay for equal work, bodily autonomy, and freedom for all people regardless of gender. Thank you, Gloria Steinem, for all you did. Rest in power.
In case you missed it! Fun convo!

What part of “mass deportations now” was unclear in the signs at the RNC in 2024?
"Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far."

"The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today."

Trump’s board chose to close the Kennedy Center.

What do you expect putting someone in charge of a theatre who can’t even profit off of a casino. I mean.. he banned the gays… from the THEATRE! What’d he think was gonna happen?!

The AI machine that created this ad didn't understand the meaning of the song. After all, it is not a person.
Meta uses David Bowie's Five Years song in this AI ad

"News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying

And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people

Five years, that's all we've got"

— 'Five Years', David Bowie

I was against it while I was for it. JD Vance
JD Vance keeps feeding stories to the NY Times about how he's the only one in the Trump admin who knows the Iran war is a disaster.

It isn't going to work. The war will be an anchor tied to him when he runs for president in 2028.

JD Vance will never escape the albatross of the Iran War
No matter how many stories he feeds the Times about all his doubts.

…the moderate solution is required…
EXCLUSIVE: When elected officials and advocates in Danbury, Connecticut, said ICE arrested a parent at a school bus stop Aug. 26, federal officials denied their accounts.

I got video that appears to show such an arrest.

Meanwhile cash will start flowing into AI "security" start ups.
Hassett downplays need for AI regulation: "You're gonna be much safer -- and you put up the share prices of security firms -- you're gonna be much safer having private sector companies doing the lion's share of the work to make these things safe than some bureaucrat in Washington."

There are over 4,000 mentions of SPLC informants in the FBI investigative records, and FBI has not yet searched Delta, its records on informants.

In other words, FBI relied on them, a lot, and is trying to withhold that information from SPLC.
