Data center overload may be *intended* to break the grid. A subsequent emergency order could permit unregulated private ownership. This would allow direct control of electrical distribution by tech billionaires. They'll decide who gets power, and how much. businessinsider.com/nerc-issues-al…

Who should the Wizards draft at No. 1:
AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson?

@barrykane760 I know! Who can forget the TV ad where Trump stood in front of an American flag and said, “Vote for me, because Joe Biden and the democrats let me and my minions get away with everything we pulled in my first term, plus January 6!”
English
Opposite: Progressive leftists helped to elect Trump. Leftists give Trump all his negative messaging to crush Democrats with.

@SarahLongwell25 @AccountableGOP Exactly. And a huge part of the intraparty battle is that progressives want to fight Trump and the centrists are hell bent on enabling him.

@briantylercohen Reminder: The Blue Division is owned by the same masters as the Red Division. They’re working in concert toward the same ends.

Why haven't we heard from a SINGLE Democratic state about steps they're taking to counteract the post-VRA GOP power grabs in Louisiana and Alabama and South Carolina and Tennessee and Texas and North Carolina and Missouri and Florida? Is every Democrat asleep at the wheel? Do you think this is going to fix itself? Why is it so fucking difficult for Democrats to fight back? If you're in power in NJ, NY, MD, CO, IL, WA, OR, wake the fuck up and announce steps to redraw the maps so that Democrats are not drawn out of power forever.

@threezustrist They’ve been one of the worst franchises in professional sports for nearly 50 years. I’ve been watching the whole time. It’s more than fair to put the burden of proof on them. They’re bad and stupid until they prove otherwise.

Virginia Scope: Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D) rules out proposal forcing the retirement of Virginia Supreme Court justices in order to get a different ruling in the redistricting case. Surovell said the idea would be “too extreme.”

There is a specific absurdity in watching a country that cannot provide basic healthcare to its citizens spend more on its military than the next six countries combined.
And having those citizens describe this as "strength."
Strength.
The inability to keep your own people alive unless they are profitable is not strength.
The willingness to spend unlimited money projecting violence abroad while people ration insulin at home is not strength.
It is the behavior of an entity that has confused the performance of power with the exercise of it.
That has built its identity so completely around the capacity for violence that it has forgotten what the violence is supposed to be for.
The empire does not make its citizens safe.
It makes them afraid, of each other, of outsiders, of the future, because fear is what justifies the expense.
A population that felt genuinely secure would ask questions about where the money goes.
A population kept in a state of continuous, low-grade, expertly managed anxiety keeps writing the check.

Hey. White liberals, progressives and leftists.
Instead demanding Black athletes boycott the SEC.
YOU need to boycott them as well.
No merch.
No tickets.
Don’t send YOUR kids there.
Don’t lay this all on us.

My time as a parent is objectively important than your dog’s birthday

People without kids shouldn't be allowed to take Vacation Days during the summer months, that time belongs to families. Your dog's birthday is not a valid reason to deny me a week at Disney World with my actual human children.

I just went to a self-serve frozen yogurt shop. I picked the cup, pulled the lever, and added my own toppings. At checkout, the iPad was flipped toward me with options for 20%, 25%, and 30% tips. The employee who was literally leaning against the wall on her phone sighed and rolled her eyes when I hit "No Tip."
When did we start tipping people for the privilege of doing their job for them? Am I the villain here?
English
@kilday_morgan Self own right there. That’s the Democratic Party mantra in a nutshell: Why Even Try?
Why would anyone vote for democrats, knowing they’ll just throw up their hands and get steamrolled by republicans doing whatever the hell they want?
We need an opposition party.
English
CODIFY what? The Voting Rights Act was LAW. They overturned it. WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU WANT DEMOCRATS TO DO THAT THE SUPREME COURT WOULDN'T UNDO?
It was YOUR job to vote for Democrats so that partisan judges wouldn't get lifetime terms on the Supreme Court and enact project 2025.

@SarahLongwell25 @AccountableGOP Exactly. And a huge part of the intraparty battle is that progressives want to fight Trump and the centrists are hell bent on enabling him.
English
The factional fight between progressives and centrists *on here* is mostly divorced from how Dem voters actually think about candidates at the moment. Broadly when I listen to Dem voters they want candidates who are going to fight Trump and R’s hard and win their elections.
English
@SarahLongwell25 Hey, how is it that Trump was free to run in ‘24?
English
Seriously, Donald Trump is currently destroying the country and you want to talk about Dick Cheney? He’s dead! Liz Cheney gave up everything to help Kamala because she was asked and wanted to help. Can we focus on what matters? Like, congrats on driving down Dick Cheney’s approval numbers.
English
You can keep saying Kamala lost due to a single day of campaigning with Liz Cheney, but it will never be true. She lost because Dems renominated an unpopular 82 yo while inflation was high and realized what a disaster it was too late and plan B was mid.
David Sirota@davidsirota
The Resistance Dems/Never Trump corporate faction of the Dem Party that remains hostile to Graham Platner is also the party faction that cheered Dems proudly embracing Dick & Liz Cheney, the duo who lied America into war & created authoritarian powers Trump is now wielding 🤔
English
@SarahLongwell25 @AccountableGOP It was Cheney, everything else you mentioned, and an avalanche of other unmentioned obstinate stupidity, corruption and downright evil that did them in. That party needs to be burned to ash and buried a mile deep somewhere, along with their Red Division partners.

I've been a Wizards / Bullets fan since ______.
Fill in the blank.
English
@RioSlade It is dumb, considering that what we pay them is pretty much their lunch money. Their real salaries come from their oligarchic masters and from chicanery like insider trading.
English
You pay the salaries of elected officials.
Liberals are arguing that you must also convince those elected officials to take action to end your suffering.
That you must persuade them that YOU matter.
I think that's dumber than hog shit.
English
@decimus59 @GregFinberg I was around then, too. After almost 50 years of abject failure and dumbassery, I can’t help but worry that they’ll trade the pick along with Key and Tre for somebody like Sabonis. 😆
English
@GregFinberg As a guy that was around in 1978 for the last Championship I finally have hope for another!!
English
I cannot overstate how monumental this result is for the Wizards.
After years of tanking and rebuilding, Washington finally gets rewarded with the top pick in an incredible draft class.
Washington is now on the clock, with a chance to draft its long-awaited franchise superstar.
English
@Wilson__Valdez The 2026-2028 Democratic Party campaign theme, ladies and gentlemen: “Let’s Just Give Up.” 👏
English
This is one of my biggest beefs with 'the left' is just that they never make any attempt to adapt their beliefs to reality. Single Payer is just not a feasible/good policy with the Republican party being as insane and extreme as they are right now.
We should obviously push for universal healthcare, but if you are at all intellectually honest, single payer is just completely wrong for our country.
The okayest poster there is@ok_post_guy
A single payer system managed by RFK Jr would have already banned vaccines and probably antidepressants as well. Nationally. Why on earth would you rush headfirst into advocating for a system with that very real possibility?
English
@uspolitics1111 Dems know it’s a war. They’re the Blue Division fighting alongside the Red Division, waging war on the American citizenry. It’s the citizenry that doesn’t quite yet realize what this is. It’s not left vs. right or red vs. blue. It’s top vs. bottom, and we’re getting crushed.
English
Democrats may just disregard the decision, just as their Republican counterparts do in each state.
But no, Democrats won't admit that this is a war. You must engage in combat as if it were a war. Democrats simply want to give up too soon.
