@Oregonian Good. Make these parasites go out and buy food with money they earn like the rest of us have to.

@CollinRugg And this is why AI is so terrifying and should not be accessed by regular people. This technology needs to be strictly regulated and access be strictly limited.

NEW: Middle school teacher accused of using AI to generate CSAM of kids between the ages of infant & 12 years old before pleasuring himself to the images at work.
47-year-old Matthew Lund was a science teacher at Andersen Middle School in Omaha, Nebraska.
Prosecutors say they found 423 artificially generated images.
"[There are] 104 files consistent with CSAM … depicting ranging from infant to approximately 12 years old," prosecutors said.
"The defendant then admitted to generating the [CSAM] of prepubescent children and m*sturbating to them while at work, at which he is a middle school science teacher."
Lund is facing a maximum sentence of 50 years.
Horrific.

@dhe3g Kids need to be taught that there is no such thing as a free lunch in life. Someone is paying for it. Letting them go hungry a few days a year is a lesson we'll taught.
English
In the U.S, they won’t give your kids food for lunch if you haven’t paid your bill 🙃

@bumbadum14 Whenever I need something I go to Target in Eagle Rock. Nothing is behind glass. I never order from Amazon. I use Uber and Lyft alot and I get a White driver about 50% of the time.
English
Nothing fucking works anymore.
Every flight is delayed. Every Amazon order is delayed. Every uber driver is African. Every store has a glass over everything.
Everything fucking sucks and it’s all more expensive.
I can’t go to a store and just buy what I need anymore. No I have to order it on Amazon and then wait 4 days (delayed for a week) because retail doesn’t exist anymore.
Just fucking awful.

@SethAbramson No. The American taxpayer shouls not be funding programs for foreigners. That money needs to help American children

Would anyone else here be fine with Elon Musk being charged with 518,428 counts of Negligent Homicide?

@Ahhhhhstfuuuu @FilmThePoliceLA Yes. Everywhere you go in LA county there are encampments and crime that goes with them. Regular people are fed up.

The woman was demanding cops shoot homeless people.

@vyvansefangirl it is very hard to believe but afterwards the cop started showing them a video of himself on Worldstar arresting someone which I did film and feel I can share without catching an obstruction of justice charge

@SinaiLawFirm Move to Austin and you will pay a small fortune in property taxes with annual reassesscents. They don't have Prop 13 in Texas
English
People move out from CA to places like Austin and Nashville so they can afford the image on the left while our politicians (and pro-housing people) are busy figuring out how to build more of the right

@GuntherEagleman Wait until these people see their first property tax bill if they choose to buy a home in Texas Homewoner insurance rates are 3x more than California and electricity rates are also high. The major cities are surrounded by toll roads.

🚨 CALIFORNIA TO TEXAS EXODUS EXPLODES:
Another 77,000+ people fled California for Texas in 2024 alone.
Why? High taxes, rampant crime, zero support for law enforcement, and endless radical liberal policies destroying the Golden State.
Californians are literally voting with their U-Haul trucks, escaping Gavin Newsom’s failing socialist experiment for freedom and opportunity in Texas.
This isn’t a “trend.” It’s a full-blown mass migration away from blue hellholes.
Texas is winning. California is collapsing.

@96hoya Raise the fares. Stop asking taxpayers to fund these trains

When you're asked to pony up more cash because BART is losing money, ask yourself whether any cuts could be made instead.

Next Stop: Prom night. Break out the taffeta, tease up that hair, and dust off your dancing shoes. BART is hosting its first-ever prom at Rockridge Station Saturday, June 6, from 6pm to 10pm! All ages are welcome. Bring a date or don’t! Buy tickets👇 railgoods.com/bart-prom-tick…

@GoodVibePolitik All forms of online gambling need to be strictly banned. If you want to gamble legally, drive to a physical casino and place your bets. We now have physical casinos in 48 states.
English
Honestly great position. Online gambling and the concept of bringing the casino into every home in the U.S. has done untold harm to the finances of families nationwide and preyed on addiction as a means of making profit. Banning it is a policy any progressive should support.

Chris Rabb, PA-03 candidate, says he wants to ban prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket "It's a poverty tax. And I'm anti-poverty. The last thing we need is more iterations of gaming at the expense of folks who are already on the margins. And there's a lot of influence in those industries on campaigns. Did I mention that I don't take corporate PAC money?"

@CD5LosAngeles This thing wont get built until 2050. What a waste of taxpayer dollars.

I just voted yes to approve the new K-Line North Metro Line.
If you live in West Hollywood and work in Century City, there will be a train for you.
If you are a nurse in South Los Angeles commuting to Cedars-Sinai for work, or want to go to the Hollywood Bowl for a show, there will be a train for you.
If you want to go see the Kehinde Wiley sculpture coming to Destination Crenshaw and then go to the new David Geffin Galleries at LACMA, there will be a train for you.
And if you want to live near that train, there should also be housing that is actually affordable for you.
That is the kind of Los Angeles I believe in, and that is the Los Angeles we are building.

@lalovestrump I'm staying. My house will be paid off in 5 years and my property taxes are held in check by Prop.13 I deal with the $4 a gallon gas by driving a hybrid car that gets 55mpg and I buy things at the grocery store when they go on sale and I buy from Costco.

A lot on the left want me to move out of California / LA
One offered to help me back a U-Haul today
Maybe I should start a go fund me! 😂

@Photo_Mayor Because poor people are buying their food on the taxpayer dime. If it were up to me these people would get government surplus food and no money for groceries.

@colindhernandez I don't want single payer. I have excellent employer provided health insurance
English
As millions of Californians are on the verge to lose their healthcare, the time for single-payer healthcare is now!
We need a Democratic Party who will actually fight for needs of working people, not listen to their pharma and health insurance donors.

@reporterliz Fire them all. Homelessness is worse than ever.

It's rare to get to hear from homeless services workers, esp. amid the fraught politics of homelessness.
But as layoffs loom, they've released open letters sharing their side. The latest came before it was announced 284 of them will get layoff notices: docs.google.com/document/d/124…

@Kid_Ulysses @pambrown15 4th largest but the state does not have $400 billion to pay for single payer every year.

@EastLAytguy @pambrown15 California, as a state alone, is the 5th largest economy in the world.
So.
English
It's important to understand that this is what "voting blue no matter who" gets you.
Power to the People ☭🕊@ProudSocialist
NEW: Democrats hold a supermajority in California yet they just blocked a single-payer healthcare bill because like the national party the state parties are corrupt & controlled by corporate interests. Voting blue does not bring democracy. It solidifies the capitalist oligarchy.
