This shit is dead as disco. Needs $174 billion in debt to get off the ground and had to pull its IPO because it makes no money and won’t make a dime off OpenAI until, at best, 2028, and that is making a lot of assumptions about OpenAI’s solvency

With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

That’s a great question!
So I grew up in Seal Beach during the mid 80’s to early 00’s, and during that time it was common knowledge that HB was the place the skinheads and surf Nazis hung out at.
However!
This was already deeply rooted in local history.

So, not familiar with Huntington Beach, other than I've heard of it. Was it always this way and now they're emboldened to hate, or is this new?

My negative opinion of democrats didn’t bring us here. Their constant capitulation to the right and the big money did. Slotkin has confirmed a ton of trumps nominees. This party is actively collaborating with trump and you want to blame a social media account. Get some perspective.
I am so sick of this. One senator from Michigan (where autoworkers care about this topic) introducing a bill does not mean that the entire goddamn party is doing nothing and is therefore worthless. Vibes like these and “they’re basically the same party” is what got us here. (Schumer still sucks tho)
This is the useless garbage that Dems are working on while the entire country gets dismantled and the constitution gets shredded

my question is why? why are right wingers eager to destroy deposit insurance? what do they imagine they are accomplishing?
“Project 2025 does not explicitly propose eliminating the FDIC; rather, the document suggests the corporation merge with other federal financial agencies. A 2017 report by The Heritage Foundation did suggest that, eventually, ‘government-provided deposit insurance should be phased out fully.’”

Glen is a pathological liar and right wing hack. It's sad what he has become, especially since accepting millions of $ in Thiel money
A lot of folks saying "lol Greenwald got fooled again" but this has happened too many times to believe that.
Glenn knew Trump wouldn't cut military spending. He lied about it because he cares more about promoting the GOP than he cares about cutting military spending.

The end goal is to deprive all targets of the Trump administration of meaningful legal representation. It's fascist to its core and it fundamentally undermines the rule of law.
