I'm shocked every election that leftists don't run as Republicans. Most of what excites the GOP base is "populism", so give them populism. Plus all the systems are rigged in their favor (due to years of hard work). Let the Democratic party dissolve.

At the end of the day, THIS below is exactly why Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case matters; because it shows what this admin does when forced to acknowledge a mistake.

@DouthatNYT The full weight of the Trump/WH legal/propaganda machine has been bearing down on this one day laborer and his family for months, all b/c Trump/Miller decided defying the law would thrill MAGA. No one should accept how the US gov't has treated this man. An absolute disgrace. 8/8

Can you even fight the spectacle from within the spectacle by giving a better spectacle? Seems like the answer is, no. Entering the spectacle, we become it. But if the spectacle itself is the problem, then we have to end the spectacle

In an interview with @Reuters, Erik Prince "says he plans to keep his forces in Haiti for 10 years under an arrangement that will eventually give his firm a role in the country's tax-collection system."

If all you have to do is make some tweaks to AI to turn it from “woke” to a Nazi… what does that tell us about the reliability of it as a source?? Combine that with the fact that it is environmentally unsustainable & the question becomes why is AI being forced onto us??

That the IDF is still taking heavy losses when a ceasefire to get all the hostages has been on the table for more than a year reminds me of a version of John Kerry’s famous line, “How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a genocide?”
Suppressed News.@SuppressedNws

⚡️BREAKING: At least 20 Israeli soldiers between dead and wounded as a result of an Ambush by the resistance in Beit Hanoun, North Gaza. The soldiers entered areas booby-trapped with explosive devices and then an Israeli vehicle loaded with explosives was struck by an ATG. Footage of evacuation helicopters:

Say what you will, the slogan “defund the police” was an attempt to realign consciousness about whether money should be invested in the safety net or more guys with guns. Many liberals, including the previous president, opted for the latter and ICE getting billions is the result.

i think it is worth remembering what we will get when we defeat tech fascism and why we are fighting. do you know how much it has been costing all of us to keep them flush? thats all OUR money they have. the extraction will end immediately, and we take over all of their accounts, giving us a hugeeeee economic arsenal to deploy at reconstruction, reparations, health care, education, housing and infrastructure development. we will turn their mansions and offices into goth clubs, strip clubs, hookah bars, concert venues, poetry lounges, libraries, after some renovation. all paypal mafia mansions have to go, however. we get the bay back and it is restored as a queer capital of the world and home of the black panthers. we will lead the drone swarms into combat with capitalist conspirators around the world, we will have the absolute best and newest weapons systems. transportation issues, solved. we will found a new court system on prosecution of the enemy. the multi-year tribunals will be very healing for everyone, we will get all this shit out in the open. we get the fucking internet back and we will clean it right up of fascists and the internet will be great again and twitter will be free. that alone -- getting twitter back -- has incalculable value. this thing is worth wayyyyy more than $44 billion. way more. its easy to forget these days but the internet could be SO fucking awesome. and we will have thousands of brand new datacenters for that exact purpose. right now we are facing the apocalypse that is true. BUT if we win? it could be the win that lasts forever. i will take my chances.

A defining feature of American culture today is a desire to inflict pain on others. The GOP tax bill is a huge example, but it's everywhere. You see it in mundane transactions with huge companies, you see it online where every reply is an attempt to hurt someone. It's sadistic.

“ICE was never going to meet Stephen Miller’s arbitrary quota of 3,000 bodies a day by arresting criminals, since immigrants are far less likely to commit crimes than US citizens. And so [they pretend] that every day laborer they scoop up outside Home Depot is an MS-13 kingpin.”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

New in PN: Abrego Garcia is a fake gangster. Trump and Bukele are not. "Bukele not only associates with gangsters, but owes them his position. And if he's fawning over Trump, that’s evidence the man in the WH is a gangster too. Perhaps even the kingpin." publicnotice.co/p/abrego-garci…

In China, *the government controls capital* and allocates it to benefit the people. In the US, *capital controls the government* and uses it to exploit/control the people. In other words, China is actively empowering its population while the US is harvesting its population.
Ken Moriyasu@kenmoriyasu

If the U.S. wants to manufacture like China, it has to plan and implement industrial policies like China. Can it do so? Probably not. Democracy is good at preventing bad policy (like the Great Leap Forward), but it is terrible at maintaining good policy (like investing in raw materials). Very interesting piece by @damienics and @wstv_lizzi An Industrial Policy With American Characteristics foreignaffairs.com/united-states/… via @ForeignAffairs

Senate Republicans dropped a nearly 1,000-page “Big Beautiful Bill” in the DEAD OF THE NIGHT. And they want to vote on it TODAY. Trump is jamming through a bill that rips away health care, closes hospitals, raises grocery and utility bills to give tax breaks to billionaires.
