Holy shit! This is a whole ass shit show. This is an American woman living in the UAE. My country is being run by complete imbeciles right now. Not to mention how badly they’re lying to us with little amount of information they are putting out. I’m just ashamed. #TrumpsEpicFailure
A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible:
"They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
I'm getting a really strong sense of deja vu

The right just loves ruining the lives of children. Yours, mine, ours, everyones.

Thank you for this sacrifice! I was just trying to explain to my normie husband who Candace Owens is and why he needed to know. He looked at me like *I* was crazy...
This is a very helpful explainer, although I worry for the health of your soul having to sit through 70 hours of her vile bilge.
Here’s a thought: maybe we should *not* vote for candidates that embody toxic masculinity just because they put a D behind their name.
Maybe we do *not* need our own version of Trump.
Maybe the people who say we do are fucking stupid.
there really is something immensely clarifying about realizing that "death cult" is not an ironic or jokey term
Democrats need to be of one voice declaring they will impeach this corrupt piece of shit.

This is because the Pentagon and Trump don’t like Anthropic’s language preventing their tech from being used to surveil Americans or for autonomous weapons. Which means the Pentagon wants to use their tech to surveil Americans and build autonomous weapons apnews.com/article/anth...

When I was a kid I devoured Star Trek novelizations. Yours -- especially The Wounded Sky & My Enemy, My Ally -- were among my absolute favorites, which I read multiple times.
I credit my love of reading & my eventual writing career in part to those books & your work, in particular!
Thank you. ❤️
This is so fabulous. Thanks, @eoinglackin.bsky.social ! ❤️
The FBI Director took a four-day trip to Italy on the taxpayers’ dime—but the actual contents of the visit had little to do with serving the American public. Alongside “a handful of meet-and-greets," he enjoyed hours of down time that included private meals and “cultural activities.” trib.al/c8Bw3qF
But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House. Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022. The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.
This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

Trump got boring.
Perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to him.
Just old, boring tricks now. Nothing new.
