Forged Autonomy

Food stamp work requirements don’t create jobs, they create hunger. If the federal government wanted to help people find work, it would invest in public jobs programs and guarantee a living wage. Instead, it’s punishing people who are already struggling to survive. These rules took effect on March 1, meaning benefit reductions could begin as early as June 1. Find out whether you’re subject to these requirements — and how to stay compliant — by calling 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669).

My father grew up in the segregated South. He had to walk around to the BACK of a restaurant just to order a sandwich because he was black. THAT was Jim Crow. Not showing a photo ID to vote. You need an ID to: • Board a plane • Cash a check • Buy alcohol • Enter federal buildings But suddenly showing an ID to vote is “racist”? Give me a break. This is not civil rights. This is political theater. The Democrat Party survives by manufacturing grievance because they have nothing else to run on. Comparing voter ID laws to segregation is not just dishonest, it is insulting to the people who actually lived through Jim Crow. Asking Americans to prove they are who they say they are when they cast their vote is called common sense.

@NYCMayor When you don’t understand economics such as yourself this is the kind of comment I’d expect to see from you.

I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.

🚨 This afternoon, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney who supported Jack Smith’s politicized investigation of President Trump has been charged with stealing the confidential investigation documents. Carmen Lineberger allegedly emailed the confidential material to her own personal email, disguising them as dessert recipes to conceal them from record searches. Lineberger is charged with four felony counts in the indictment. This FBI will not hesitate to bring to account those who violated the trust of the American public in an investigation that should’ve never been brought to begin with.

@DonbasDIY @atrupar And Dems lost several times to that idiot. 😂

@atrupar It blows my mind that just 11 years ago, this idiot was basically a washed-up cringe laughing stock, that everyone avoided anytime he walked into a room, resorting to shaming himself on Howard Stern & WWE, while playing the role of "successful businessman" on a reality game show

@DarrigoMelanie Why do you post about things you don’t understand like this? Stay in your lane

Jeff Bezos paid $500M for his super-yacht and $75M for his super-yacht’s mini-yacht — both of which he’s allowed to write-off on his taxes. That alone would cover $180 in classroom supplies for every public school teacher in the U.S.

🚨 NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio just broke out into full SPANISH MODE, ripping the Communist Cuban regime and sending a message DIRECTLY to the people DOWN WITH COMMUNISM 🇺🇸🇨🇺 "The reason you are FORCED to survive without electricity is NOT an oil blockade by America...no electricity, fuel or food is because the people who control it have PLUNDERED billions of dollars, but NOTHING has been used to help the people!" "30 years ago, Raúl Castro founded a company called GAESA. This company is owned by the Armed Forces and operated by them, and has income three times higher than the current budget of his government!" "Today, while you are suffering, these entrepreneurs have $18 billion in assets and control 70% of Cuba's economy." "They obtain profits from hotels, constructions, banks, stores, and even the money that their relatives send them from the United States." "Everything, everything goes through their hands. From those remittances, they retain a percentage, but nothing comes to you from the profits of GAESA." "Instead of using the money to buy oil, like all other countries in the world, they depended on Hugo Chavez and Maduro's free oil to keep the money. But now that they no longer receive free oil, they buy fuel for their generators and their vehicles, while the people are asked to sacrifice themselves." "If owning your own business and having the right to vote is possible around Cuba, why is it not possible for you inside Cuba? In the United States, we are ready to open a new chapter in the relationship between our people and our countries!" "And right now, the only thing that gets in the way of a better future is those who control their country."

@FUDHelpdesk @Geiger_Capital @sarthakgh Learing Center Commentary 😂

@Geiger_Capital @sarthakgh Comparing schools with Amazon was his first mistake. Schools don't deliver packages or charge a delivery fee.

Jeff Bezos on NYC spending: "If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it."

Kevin O'Leary says most people waste $15,000 a year on stupid stuff like $5 coffees "Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents" "You go to work and you spend $15 bucks on a sandwich, what are you an idiot. It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you" "Bring your own water, your own drink or your own coffee mug. You start to add that up every day it's a ton of money" "Most people starting on their job making their first $60,000 piss away about $15,000 a year"

This is 1984, Minority Report, Person of Interest and Black Mirror all rolled into one and cranked to the power of 1000. This isn’t sci-fi. It’s already happening. In China. Take a look at the “Dynamic Control Platform for Overseas Personnel” run by China’s Ministry of Public Security. It’s a live demo system fed with actual data on foreigners and plenty of Chinese nationals too. Real-time face recognition cameras track you walking from one block to the next. Your train seat, carriage, hotel registration, visa details, cellphone number, medical records, job info, daily routines, even how much gas you buy - all hoovered up and profiled by the system. It builds relationship models based on how often you appear together with someone on CCTV footage. It flags key personnel, foreign journalists, students, and anyone from Five Eyes countries for special suspicion. It has risk scores, fugitive lists, and statistical breakdowns by nationality. Data is pulled not just from police cameras but from private sources as well. Even ski lift access systems are not exempt - one journalist gets spotted skiing and the system lights up. Please understand that the false bogeyman of anti-Palantir sentiment in the West is pure projection. You will hear influencers and comedians (eg. Tim Dillon) clutch their pearls over @PalantirTech — a Western company building data tools that democracies can and do oversee, audit, and limit through courts, elections, and public scrutiny. Meanwhile they will ignore this. This data platform is actually official CCP infrastructure. There is no moral equivalence here.

One of the wild things about Miami Vice (1984–1989) is the parade of future stars who popped up before they were famous. Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts, Liam Neeson, Benicio del Toro, Michael Madsen, Chris Rock & many others.

@Ltrs_Frm_Across @AuronMacintyre Has any Florida governor been able to? I don’t remember one.

@AuronMacintyre This is the most evident failure of DeSantis himself. Over the eight years he has failed to create any political machinery in Florida to support his agenda long-term. He has been successful in tactical victories but a lot of his wins have no roots and will be easily unpicked

DeSantis is one of the most dynamic GOP governors in history but Republicans are still Republicans There should have been a handpicked successor in his exact mold, instead we got “just run the black guy propped up by every special interest imaginable”

@AuronMacintyre Using one poll to tell us how you really feel.

@Overlap_Tech They are already pretty ideological. What is this guy smoking?

US President Ronald Reagan was shown "WarGames" (1983) at Camp David the weekend it was released. He loved the movie but it also freaked him out. A few days later, at a White House meeting that included the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Reagan asked, “Could something like this really happen? Could someone break into our most sensitive computers?” The answer came back a week later: “Mr. President, the problem is much worse than you think.” That led not only to a significant revamp of how computer security was handled at the Defense Department, but also passage of an anti-hacking law that would eventually evolve into US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 1986. Clips of "WarGames" (1983) were shown during the congressional hearings where lawmakers debated the need for hacking legislation. ("How Sci-Fi Like ‘WarGames’ Led to Real Policy During the Reagan Administration", Kevin Bankston, New America, 2018) P.S: On this day, 43 years ago, John Badham's "WarGames" (1983) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

Former FBI Director James Comey says he wants to know if he could apply to the Justice Department's $1.7 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund." "If it's for people who have been targeted for reasons other than the normal standards of the Department of Justice, I'm ready to get in line," he tells @GeoffRBennett.

Tech folks forecasting the end of white-collar jobs while at the same time clinging to foreign visa programs that utilize cheap labor. Not hard to see why people view Big Tech unfavorably.

@RubenGallego Is this dude one of those tons of FBI informants acting like “protesters”??

This guy is going to get potential millions of dollars of your tax dollars from Trump’s Insurgent Reparation Fund. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
