It feels really strange to root for a billionaire, but here we are.
@akilahhughes.com - do you know why it seems like the videos arenβt on publicly available on YouTube?
Any idea why the How Is This Better videos appear to be βprivateβ on YouTube?
lol.

A new flavor of conservative content is targeting women onlineβand itβs going viral. @akilahhughes.com explores the rise of the "tradwife" aesthetic on the latest episode of COURIER's new podcast, How Is This Better:
"Jonathan Caravello...was reportedly βpiled on by multiple agents all at onceβ as βhe tried to help a man in a wheelchairβ who was having difficulty moving after...[ICE] agents threw canisters of tear gas"

I'm genuinely begging folks to read both @timnitgebru.bsky.social and Torres' "TESCREAL Bundle" and @adambecker.bsky.social's _More Everything Forever_ and connect these billionaires' eugenicist dreams to the GenAI products they're pushing onto every educational institution, K-college.
The myth of the debtor as an individual who made a bad choice obscures the reason that we are in debt. Medical debt doesnβt exist in countries with nationalized health care systems, and student debt is unheard of in parts of the world where public college is free.
Trump understands that federal student loan debt is a tool of social control β a way to structure society based on who gets relief and who doesn't.
Sadly, he's using it to keep people indebted when he could use it to liberate people. This is classism.

A story about a soulless automaton devoid of any foundational ethical code and also about artificial intelligence

The debt, deportation, and death bill has passed. Congress further decimates care work to fund violence work.
Vital services eviscerated and ICE becomes the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency ever known. It hasnβt been sold this way, but itβs a massive public jobs program for fascists.
THREE Ohioans voted for the Senate budget bill drastically cutting Medicaid even though βMore than a quarter of Ohio's population receives health coverage through Medicaid.β
Trump is not only a total bonehead, heβs also ridiculously cruel.
The Senate Republicans just passed one of the most morally odious, stupid pieces of legislation in history. Itβs hard to overstate how much people hate this bill.
Could it cost the GOP their Senate majority?

Tax cuts for the extremely wealthy at the expense of the health of the poor and working class.
The GOP continues to bend the knee to Trump and raise the middle finger to the rest of us. Shameful.
Just to be clear about the big bill Republicans are passing: it will remove the authority for a President to eliminate federal student debt through executive order. That, sadly, confirms what we already knew β that the authority existed and was clear. This bill is very, very dangerous.
A party that actually wanted to mobilize young and disillusioned voters would be studying Zohran Mamdaniβs campaign like the Bible
βThe real story is that manipulative neocons exploited Trumpβs jealous hatred of Barack Obama to convince him to rip up the (Iran nuke deal), precisely so weβd arrive at the crossroads weβve reached today. Heβs giving them what they used him for, because heβs exactly the mark they thought he was.β
Moratorium on state AI regulation clears Senate hurdle
Rachel Maddow: βIf Trump wasnβt getting the intelligence that Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapon from the intelligence communityβ¦ who is he getting it from? Israel?β
The right question.
And pretty obviously the right answer.
This is why right now is dumber than thr Iraq runup. There was a year of endless propaganda on top of the war mindset of post-9/11 and Bush at +60% approval. Right now its a historically unpopular president following an unpopular ally into a war nobody wants and he's making zero attempt to sell it
it was absolutely this stupid, and the political press was all the exact same people.
