"We had to use up all your drinking water, to create our AI Chatbots that talk teenagers into committing suicide."
Supreme Court begins the verdict and sentencing phase of Jair Bolsonaro's coup trial Tuesday, with the former president facing a possible 40-year sentence.
“I keep seeing these memes where Indians are bragging about taking our tech jobs,” said Ely, 36. “So I said, ‘Oh yeah? Well I’m going to work with these guys that are going to arrest you, slam your face on the pavement and send you home.’” wapo.st/3VrzEJg
I don’t think it was hacked in Wisconsin too many audits in place. But note not all states audit the same way so it could be pulled off in places like Arizona or Nevada. And there are other ways to rig elections besides hacking. Why did Musk pay $100 for voter signatures and info? To train AI?

Tesla's long-awaited entry into India underwhelms, with just over 600 orders falling well short of the company's target.
The mayor of Baltimore drastically slashed crime despite close proximity to Virginia with its lax gun laws and it was a blip in the news cycle and then a return to the only way to stop crime is law and order. We are a cruel, punitive country with a national press that loves facism.
Regarding reading comprehension: we never hear from Gen Z folks who are the first full generation to be educated under no child left behind what they think we should do about people coming out of HS with weak reading comprehension How does Gen Z see the problem? What solutions do they want?
Putin is escalating
Maybe musk was checking to see if he could win with money alone or do they have to do the hacking
Amen to everything Dan said. Especially how great — and funny — he was on Reservation Dogs. Related: all of Reservation Dogs — one of the very best shows of the last decade — is currently streaming on Hulu.

Every Labor Day I remember that the holiday was moved from May 1 to September not only for the Haymarket attacks but to break up the possibility between the US and the international labor movement (which celebrates in May). And it worked!
👇👇
This #LaborDay, let’s remember that immigrants make up 20% of the workforce. If 20% of the workforce were deported, the country's GDP would decrease by 12% (-3 trillion). Hurting immigrants doesn't only hurt them. It hurts America. Is weakening America worth owning the libs?
NYC will be ready
Maybe bc Trump is no longer useful and if Epstein compromise gets released there’s nothing to hold over him
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
Remember that we can always find power, solidarity, and hope in the labor movement. [Artwork by Ricardo Levins Morales]

One of the reasons Mamdani won the primary and is leading the pack is that he is that he genuinely enjoys the diversity of New York. And because of that he understands their needs and desires and articulates a politics that reflects that understanding.
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
Palantir (Peter Thiel) just rec'd a 10 billion dollar contract with the US Army to meet "GROWING WARFARE DEMANDS". All BULLSHIT! We should be in the streets against Tech Bro takeover. Defense fund is approx. 1 trillion dollars per year because of this BS. Easiest way to steal from our government!
They were released for lack of cause. People should just keep the police busy arresting them.
On this Labor Day… “Immigrants make up almost 20% of the U.S. workforce and that data shows 45% of workers in farming, fishing and forestry are immigrants… About 30% of all construction workers are immigrants…” These workers didn’t disappear. They were violently abducted. apnews.com/article/labo...
This is the provision Ensign cited as the basis for the government's authority to summarily remove unaccompanied migrant children. I’d love to hear from immigration lawyers, but having briefly looked at it… it’s so frivolous it’d be laughable if it weren’t so cruel. (Am I wrong??)
Had D POTUS rung up $37T debat, started a trade war, knocked job growth down from the 200,000s to 10,000's , tried to fire fed gov, fired experts who had the temerity to contradict him and his cultists with facts, and sounded loony (birds and windmills!) we'd be in impeachment or 25thA territory

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

Kyiv Independent- A Ukrainian politician who previously served as the parliament speaker and played a prominent role in the EuroMaidan Revolution has been shot dead in Lviv.

Thiel and "The new head of CDC not a doctor or scientist. O'Neill ran Clarium Capital into the ground - it lost 90% of its value - but Peter kept him on. He has no science training at all; he's a humanities major who caught Peter Thiel's eye and spent two decades fluffing his mad-king dreams. "
Zohran Mamdani is the happiest politician in America, his whole campaign is about how New York is awesome and can be even awesomer. Meanwhile, there has never been a politician in history who talked as much about what a shithole he thinks America is as Donald Trump does.
If something has happened I hope they’re letting RFK make all of the important medical decisions.

Looks good until the economy tanks bc of lack of workers. Don’t see the government moving to fix the immigration system so more can enter legally
Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him. He's a tyrant with his back against the wall, so he and his cronies are rigging elections in Texas. Understand what's going on here.
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
Turns out setting up an immigration detention tent camp without legal authority in a protected swamp nature preserve with a dark sky designation, that had almost zero infrastructure, in the scorching hot Florida summer, during hurricane season, did not turn out well.
"President Trump’s decision to issue a Labor Day proclamation shortly after stripping union rights from thousands of civil servants, a third of whom are veterans, should show American workers what he really thinks about them." What AFGE President Everett Kelley said.

What happened before, during, and after a hurricane, flood, and lies and racist violence hit Katrina should be remembered accurately, even though it was narrated with wild, destructive inaccuracy at the time, by government officials and mainstream media. Wrote about it here, five years after:
Trump Tower was a money laundering paradise for the Russian mob (clip from documentary 'Active Measures')
This is part of the plan to allow more random violence to happen so they can justify a military takeover

"Public health operates on this broader scale where it’s so embedded into our everyday lives that we just don’t pay attention to it until it starts to go wrong." Tons of wisdom from @donmoyn.bsky.social in this discussion, you'll learn a lot:

I sounded the alarm about UnitedHealth's attempt to purchase this home health giant years ago. This is another half-baked merger settlement by the Trump DOJ—this time at the expense of the most vulnerable. The public deserves to know if this deal is based on political favors.

I'm not sure 65-69% of Americans would agree the sun is hot and night is dark, but they apparently agree on this: Americans who say Trump is "very" or "somewhat dishonest" = 69% Americans who say Trump is "very" or "somewhat corrupt" = 65% www.umass.edu/news/article...
