WHOA

Haley Stevens is actually going full wrecker over to the GOP, being the favorite child of AIPAC (GOP megadonors) apparently DOES have more meaning than being a Democrat. perhaps we shouldn't be letting GOP megadonors try to buy Democratic primaries and then attack winners they don't like

Dear Americans, you might not know this, but a list like that would not make much sense in most other democracies. The fact that there are charts for billionaires based how many millions they spent on buying future political favours is at the heart of your problems. A perversion.

I don't want to get too psychoanalytical, but there's something about a candidate whose main thing is being a mouthpiece for megadonors marrying a domineering megadonor and blowing up her career because he asked her to, that's OTOH sad and OTOH means it's for the best that she's out of politics

McMorrow’s (Jewish) husband asked Stevens to sign an OpEd in September criticizing Mike Rogers for refusing to denounce antisemitic members of his campaign/volunteers & antisemitic megadonors to his campaign. She refused to do so. But she claims she’s endorsing Rogers to “protect” Jews from El-Sayed

Here's more from Ray Wert:

"Literally the bare minimum - attack MAGA Mike Rogers, the guy who would have been running against you had you won the primary. And that was over a month ago. This is nothing new. This is just who Haley is."
I approached Haley in the middle of September about putting her name to an Op-Ed attacking Mike Rogers for his unwillingness to denounce the antisemitic members of his own team, the $10 million in support he's received from Christian nationalist Tim Dunn, and his steadfast opposition to a woman's right to choose. The goal of the Op-Ed was to remind members of the Jewish community that Mike Rogers doesn't align with our values. The proposed Op-Ed never mentioned Abdul. The only thing it asked for was to not vote for Mike Rogers. Initially she was very interested in it. Then she wasn't. Then she was again. Then she wasn't. She never signed it. Literally the bare minimum - attack MAGA Mike Rogers, the guy who would have been running against you had you won the primary. And that was over a month ago. This is nothing new. This is just who Haley is. By the way, here's the Op-Ed that she wouldn't let me publish. FROM THE DESK OF Haley Stevens I'm a Democrat. I always have been. After I was heckled with horrifically antisemitic language at my own party's convention in April, I called it out, because I believe that when antisemitism rears its disgusting head, you say something. Even when - especially when - the people doing it are supposed to be on your side. — Which is exactly why I can't stay quiet about Mike Rogers. I can't hold one standard for Democrats and a softer one for Republicans and still claim to have a standard at all. Let's start with the money. The largest donor to one of the first super PACs backing Mike Rogers' campaign is a Texas oil billionaire named Tim Dunn, who put in $5 million. Dunn is a well-documented financier of Christian nationalist politics. And in 2010 he told Joe Straus, then the Republican Speaker of the Texas House, that Straus was not qualified for the job because he is Jewish. Dunn's position, in Straus's telling, was that only Christians should hold leadership positions in that chamber. Sit with that for a moment. A Jewish Republican, elected by his own colleagues, told to his face that being Jewish disqualified him. That's who wrote the biggest check in this race. Mike Rogers has never publicly said a word about it. Now let's look at the people working to elect him. On February 25, someone on X asked what should be done about Jews. A college student named Cameron Dundas replied: "Send them to North Korea?" Weeks later, Mike Rogers named him as his campus lead at a Michigan university. He isn't the only one. Alexander Richmond, the Rogers for Senate campus lead at the University of Michigan, defended participants in the leaked Young Republicans group chat. You may remember that chat. "I love Hitler." Black Americans called "monkeys." Musings about sending political opponents to the gas chambers. Rape described as "epic." ་་ So what did Mike Rogers' campaign say when asked about all of it? "There are a lot of people across the state, with …

Anthropic thinks they should be able to kill 50 people at a time.

www.forever-wars.com/no-bailouts-... @attackerman.bsky.social
IN THE OPINION of the artificial intelligence giant Anthropic, an AI model should be permitted to kill or seriously injure up to 50 people at a stretch. A larger death toll than that, according to Anthropic’s scrupulous moral accounting, should prompt government regulators to block the release of a model. Similarly, Anthropic contends that frontier AI should get to risk causing as much as $1 billion of damage before regulators intervene. All that is contained in the draft of a bill Anthropic is pushing to shape the long-awaited contours of an AI regulatory framework. “These are sensible policies we believe Congress should act on,” a company spokesperson told Politico. Remember this the next time Anthropic positions itself as the humane AI company.

Voters did their part to save US democracy, now it is over to the Dems. Saving democracy requires holding those who would try to end it through force or corruption accountable.
