"Future U.S. leaders will operate from a weaker position & will face an uphill battle to restore Washington’s reputation as a self-interested but fair-minded partner. Predatory hegemony is a losing strategy, & the sooner the Trump administration abandons it, the better."
Very interesting wide view!
Finally, we're getting a sequel to Team America - World Police
This lady is more intelligent than Trump’s entire administration.
I hope she runs for president one day….
Dude nails the moral bankruptcy of MAGA. 😂🤣👇

Donald the Dove, Hillary the Hawk By Maureen Dowd April 30, 2016
happy 10-year anniversary to this razor-sharp political prognostication
In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

The new "Don't be evil." For now
Can’t wait for the brand-new HHS marketing campaign: “Americans Are Feeling Offal!” ✨
They should set up feelingoffal-dot-gov, with a repository of liver, kidney, and tongue recipes, and be legends.
Seriously though, that’s some truly offal messaging.
Starting to wonder if some of these questions are just trolling Tom to see what meme he responds with.
I am. We had a diplomatic pathway with Iran that was thrown into the trash can for no good reason. We could have wedged them from others like Russia, China, and North Korea by carefully tending to that pathway. But no.... we push them all together so that conservatives can bang their chest.

Chat, is it bad when one tech dude having a modicum of a conscience is the only thing hindering the plans of the worst people in the world to use hallucinatory robots to automate crimes against humanity?
/2 “WE will use our stable of pseudo-academic ideological stooges to craft a justification to take away the right. It doesn’t matter if their justification is preposterous because WE are in control and ludicrousness of the argument is part of the display of our power.”
The birthright citizenship IS an easy case. That’s the point. That’s the flex. “No matter what rights you think you have, no matter how universally acknowledged you think they are, no matter how central to American values those rights are, WE decide whether or not you have those rights”……

There are some four million different kinds of animals and plants in the world. Four million different solutions to the problems of staying alive. This is the story of how a few of them came to have their faces eaten by leopards.
Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office.
This is looting.
I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across.
If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.
If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.
"the loss of critical thinking and learning skills is less of a personal failure and more of a policy one, calling the generation of Americans educated with gadgets victims of a failed pedagogical experiment."

SAM ALTMAN: What no one understands is that no one at the beach can stop you from scooping up as many shells as you want. An endless well of seashells for the taking. INTERVIEWER: Mhm. ALTMAN: Look I have a bunch in my pocket right here. INTERVIEWER: Wow that's incredible. And they're all already crushed up too.
ALTMAN: Yes well I crushed them. They didn't start crushed. I took them home and then I crushed them. INTERVIEWER: Mhm. Mhm. ALTMAN: You can eat them. I eat them everyday. That's why I crush them. Here have a taste. INTERVIEWER: Wow these are great. It feels like eating teeth. ALTMAN: Right? Human teeth. Isn't it incredible? I died in 2023.

My statement:
“Today, the U.S. Supreme Court stood up for the rule of law and Americans everywhere. Its message was simple: Presidents are powerful, but our Constitution is more powerful still. In America, only Congress can impose taxes on the American people.
Stephen Colbert: “I don't usually say this to a guest, but if people are watching this right now, it's cause they found us online on YouTube”
James Talarico: “This is the party that ran against cancel culture — and now they're trying to control what we watch, what we say, what we read”

I'm so encouraged to see how many people are as disgusted by this as I am.
Sometimes you just need to be reminded that you're not alone.
Keep fighting, good people!
