As a brown man living in America in 2019, I am free in this country because of the sacrifices and struggle of African Americans to realize their their freedoms and inalienable rights. This is a #fact. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Fixed it.

🚨BREAKING: Lawrence O'Donnell looked America in the eye tonight and said on live TV what many are thinking about Donald Trump's profane, perverse, filthy outburst on Easter Sunday to commit war crimes. "The 25th Amendment was written for yesterday at 8:03am."

A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak. This is not a talented trader. "We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row. That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research. That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes. Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses. There are only two explanations and both should terrify you. Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime. Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse. This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call. While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings. You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American

I’m beginning to understand how Trump went bankrupt so many times.

Best summary of America I have seen

What a sight!!! 😍

More evidence that we live in the upside down.

Claude Mythos. Ten trillion parameters: the first model in this weight class. Estimated training cost: ten billion dollars. On the hardest coding test in the industry (SWE bench) it scores 94%. It found a security flaw in a system that had been running for 27 years, one that every human engineer and every automated check had missed. It found another bug that had survived five million test runs over 16 years. (It did so overnight.) It is so capable in cybersecurity that Anthropic will not release it to the public, instead it is launching Project Glasswing along with 100m in compute credits to help secure software. Only twelve partners currently have access: Amazon, Cisco, Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, JPMorgan Chase, Crowdstrike, Palo Alto, AWS, The Linux Foundation, Broadcom. (I'm sure the Pentagon is on the line?) This is not a product launch: it is a controlled deployment of a system too powerful to distribute freely. Tell me this isn't (very expensive) AGI?

AI is NOT killing the software developer. AI is taking over tasks that software developers perform, but that does not translate into lost jobs. A new report shows why: AI is creating new and improved software products that raise demand. sites.bu.edu/tpri/files/202… 1/9

North Korea in Trumpistan

Iran Deal by Obama: •0 Americans killed •0 Iranians killed •0 bombs dropped •$0 spent on war GOP: THIS IS AN TOTAL FAILURE! WE LOST! Iran Ceasefire by Trump: •15 American soldiers killed, ~700 injured •1900 Iranian civilians killed, 26,000 injured •$45 BILLION in taxpayer money wasted •18 countries bombed or involved in war MAGA: THIS IS A TOTAL WIN! SO MUCH WINNING!

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

CNBC: "President Trump has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?" What stage of corporate media is this? (h/t @paleofuture)

"A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons." —Hillary

Iran Deal By Obama: •Strait of Hormuz open for free •Iran limits Uranium enrichment •Iran agrees to make no nuclear weapons •Iran allows Int'l inspectors to ensure compliance •Inspectors confirm Iran's full compliance Iran Ceasefire By Trump: •Strait of Hormuz closed, only open for $2M Per Ship •Iran makes no guarantee of limit on uranium enrichment •Iran makes no guarantee of no nuclear weapons •Iran makes no guarantee to allow Int'l inspectors MAGA: Trump Playing 5D Chess! Art Of The Deal!!

ICE detained a dialysis patient the morning of her treatment. She died 36 hours later in a detention infirmary. They logged it as "natural causes." When policy kills, call it what it is.

What a split screen- astronauts reminding us we are one planet, one human race and a US President threatening genocide against a people who he claimed he was protecting.

This is one of the greatest photos ever taken by a human…so far.

He needs to be removed from office. He is obviously unwell. The sooner both sides of the Congress get out of denial and accept the gravity of the situation the better for the country and the world.

@mehdirhasan Tucker is trying to make sense of nonsense. Unfortunately, we all are.

Ok this is actually pretty good - not just because he is pushing back against the rightwing mockery of Islam but, for the first time, Tucker is breaking with Trump, directly criticizing him. That’s bold, given his base.
