"Fair use"? There is nothing fair about stealing people's work so that your product can function. I hope this does bankrupt #AI - all it does is steal human labor.
Just a heads up to anyone using Firefox:
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Trump was SO clueless. 😏
Don't start what you can't finish.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
other98 Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who does not deserve funeral honors from the Air Force. This move dishonors all of our deceased veterans.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
Seriously, this is how we ended up with Trump.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
A federal judge ordered the shutdown for violating NEPA and harming the Everglades. The Miccosukee Tribe’s stand is ancestral, echoing centuries of guardianship. Many detained were Mexican, Central & South American—peoples native to this continent, united in struggle for dignity and land. #Pinks

Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
That part! I wish more people would call this out! Confederates have taken over the U.S. government.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Oh, yeah! They're no strangers to fighting a corrupt government and a conspiracy to throw the majority of humanity under the bus.
I can't take people seriously that attack Dems for not doing enough when the something they've chosen to do is weaken the party instead of the opponents.
Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny Happy Weekend Everyone!
The jack-in-the-lantern dictator is desperate for a reaction from Kamala after removing her secret service, but my queen is unbothered. She’s used to dealing with men like him and continues living her best author life, thriving while he craves attention. #Pinks
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
“This is our moment to reassert what it means to be American by speaking out and pushing back. The victory of the weak, malignant and unprincipled man is not inevitable.” www.americaamerica.news/p/its-villai...
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
Oh, you meant about seasons 10 and 11! Yeah, no. I thought you meant about fan vids in general. I will say that one nice thing about the vids is the surgical precision used to isolate the relationship moments from the rest of the crap.
LOL! But David and Gillian do. 😉
So, over the last few months, I've needed some downtime distractions from watching American democracy burn to the ground. Hence, this #XFiles "Best of the Best Fanvids" playlist I made on YouTube😏. youtube.com/playlist?lis...
I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus crashed losing its entire load. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, mixed up, surprised, awed, dumbfounded, & nonplussed…
Gavin Newsom Slams GOP's Inaction On Guns In Wake Of Catholic School Shooting "We cannot even make it through the first week of school without mass shootings," the California governor posted online Wednesday. #MOG8 www.huffpost.com/entry/gavin-...
Heroes.
Exactly.
The Battle of DC is underway, brave US troops march on the nation’s Capitol, meeting the enemy head on in a desperate struggle against littering. With steel in their hearts and plastic bags in their hands, the troops brave behind enemy lines.
Y’all worried about Gavin Newsom running for president—if we don’t win the midterms there won’t be any presidential run to argue about. People need to start understanding we don’t have a fictional federal government. We’re running on residue from the past, only protected by city & state. #Pinks

Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
Shuler: Thirteen billionaires in one picture—four of whom now run agencies of our federal government. If you’ve ever met someone who says the word “oligarchy” is too confusing or too complicated, well, you can explain it with that one photo.
Today FEMA workers bravely join #NIH, #NASA, #EPA, #NSF, and #CDC workers in sounding the alarm on the dangerous actions undermining their ability to carry out their mission for the public. 🧪 Join me in signing the letter of the support!
Of course, they minimize. They work for the people who want AI to be completely accepted for creative work. They don't seem to realize that their own work as reporters will also be replaced with AI's plagiarized slop. They will also be out of jobs.
OPINION: 'The bottom has fallen out': Trump's approval rating falls on issues that got him elected @nicollewallace.bsky.social and panel discuss Donald Trump's falling approval ratings on all of the issues he campaigned on - and the pushback Republicans continue to get in townhalls.
@nicollewallace.bsky.social talks with @milestaylor.bsky.social 👇🏽 “He’s going to start making those decisions about who gets FEMA aid personally— he’s not going to let a nonpartisan organization decide.” “That’s the level of this revenge tour. It’s gone into every community in this country.”
The name "Confederate Section" appears on official maps of Arlington National Cemetery going back to the 1910s.
The name "Reconciliation Memorial" is an invention of the last few years. Calling Section 16 the "Reconciliation Section" would be too dumb for words. And just referring to "Section 16" invites the question - wait, what section is that? So, "near Moses Ezekiel's gravesite" it is.

Something that is very interesting to see among my leftist peers is this conviction that there must be *one* nation/system/etc that is the root of all evil around the globe, be in America or Israel or colonialism or capitalism.

HAPPENING NOW: At 2:00 p.m. ET, Judge Paula Xinis is set to hold a telephone conference regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia's newly-filed lawsuit challenging his removal to Uganda. Abrego was detained by ICE earlier today. I plan to live-post the hearing for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along ⬇️🧵

Wes Moore confirms that he's considering retaliating against Republican gerrymandering by redrawing the maps in Maryland to eliminate the state's one Republican seat
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
I don't think I've ever agreed with anyone 100%. So if my choice is between someone I agree with 80%, or 0%, I'm not locked up on this decision. And I'm not going to devote my energy to tearing down a frontrunner who I agree with 80%, in hopes that some dark horse who's with me 85% will win.
Exactly.
Good luck. Sadly, the integrity of America's universities is in the same state as America's democracy - destroyed by America's 1%.

Purity testing by the far left is how Trump got into office. If there's one lesson to be learned from the GOP, it's how they keep their eye on winning offices and gaining power. They've played the long game since Barry Goldwater, and it's paid off. joy-dangelo.medium.com/how-cpac-cre...
Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.
Usually, it's like "wow, what an accomplishment to get into ABT Studio Co. There's even a chance of, eventually getting hired by ABT!" ...but having followed competitive dance for a minute, it's more like THEY'RE lucky to have Kayla Mak. What a talent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHP9...

Did Ghislaine Maxwell earn her Trump pardon with her scripted lies? Will Trump defy a federal judge on Abrego Garcia? Why won’t Habba just go away already? Watch Legal AF at 8pm ET/5pm PT!
Yep. Also, she doesn't understand that in a democracy politicians are beholden to those who voted for them, not those who might vote for them. Their 1st priority is keeping those people who showed up the last time. The way for a group to get power is to vote. Then your group has a seat at the table.
Ma’am…you don’t even go here. Fix your own shit and pull your head out of your ass. Nobody has time for your bs right now. Your demographic is literally a menace to the world. It doesn’t matter what country it is…y’all are a menace.
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum with Trump and police in DC: “You have always during your entire life supported law enforcement.” Capitol Police would like a word.

ICE is targeting delivery drivers in DC, and MPD is helping them. 📌 ICE is not police 📌 DC law requires uniformed officers to show their badge and nameplate while on duty And Uber needs to do better by its drivers!
Nancy Mace: "In my time in Congress, I actually helped secure the largest infrastructure grant in state history, in South Carolina history. So I've worked very hard on the policies that matter to voters here." (Mace is taking credit for legislation she voted against!)
Yep. Being that the Conservative movement that birthed MAGA stems directly from the Confederacy, that tracks.
Yep. That tracks. The anti-woke are MAGzs
Slavery was evil. Slavery IS EVIL. That's not "woke." That's just right and wrong. That we are having this convo at all shows you how evil fascism is.
