@libsoftiktok Combover of the year candidate.

Democrat with a “be kind” poster was just arrested for threatening to kiII Trump Can’t make this up

@0xnoLE @GavinNewsom We are not equal, we are not the same. All of this is normal.

@GavinNewsom None of this is normal. Trump wants to turn us all against eachother. Leaders like Mamdani, Senders, and Newsom can bring America to a new age, where we’re all equal. God Bless America 🇺🇸

Republicans are rigging this election to gerrymander the black community out of votes. This is a preview of what is to come. None of this is normal.

@TMSTRS_ @libsoftiktok I love your optimism and complete lack of economic literacy. It's going to be amazing to watch from afar.

@libsoftiktok That’s why he’s going to increase taxes on these mega wealthy elites & corporations

Zohran Mamdani announces NYC is in a “budget crisis” after spending his entire campaign promising free stuff

@BarackObama Keep on hustlin'

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

@adamcarolla Might be the most perfect metaphor I've ever seen.

Funny

@Mr_Planner_2u @LoveCodeTrade please provide the pro side of the argument.

Scott Wiener holds San Francisco's state senate seat. While his district has one of the worst open-air drug markets in America, he spends his time in Sacramento passing culture war bills about trans inmate housing and sex offender registry carve-outs. Wiener has state-senator levers for SF's actual crisis. Treatment mandates, detox funding, conservatorship reform, Prop 36 implementation, handing cartel soldiers to ICE. He pulls none of those levers. 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹 SB 57 (2022) would have legalized supervised injection sites in SF, LA, and Oakland. State-sanctioned rooms to use fentanyl in, with Narcan on standby. Newsom vetoed it. That's the entirety of his drug crisis portfolio in nine years. 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 Wiener is a loud defender of California's sanctuary state law (SB 54, the "California Values Act"), which blocks local police and sheriffs from handing non-citizen offenders to ICE on most charges, including street-level drug dealing. The Tenderloin fentanyl trade isn't run by freelancers. It's run by violent trafficking networks that also smuggle people, coerce dealers into debt bondage, and enforce turf with guns. SB 54 keeps them undeportable. Wiener calls that a "value." 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼 Authored: - SB 132 (signed 2020): Housing trans inmates by gender identity - SB 145 (signed 2020): Carved LGBTQ exceptions into sex offender registry rules - SB 357 (signed 2022): Repealed loitering-for-prostitution, which gutted street enforcement on Capp Street - SB 107 (signed 2022): Made CA a sanctuary for out-of-state minors seeking gender-affirming care, even when parents object Statewide attention. National media. Progressive donor love. All irrelevant to SF's actual crisis. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗜𝗻 𝗦𝗗-𝟭𝟭 - Tenderloin fentanyl corridors where SF averages nearly two fatal overdoses per day citywide - Capp Street turned into an open-air sex market - Market Street wrecked by Westfield abandoning its flagship mall - Vacant storefronts across Mission, SOMA, Castro 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁 Nine years in office. A pile of symbolic bills. One drug bill, to legalize injection sites. Active defense of the sanctuary law keeping the dealers in place. Nothing on treatment, detox, or enforcement. That's a career choice. Name one bill Wiener has authored that goes after the organized crime running SF streets. Replies open.

@Matt_Pinner No to all of them. And your framing is idiotic and divisive. This is among the most obvious troll posts in all of Xistory....so fuck straight off.

Who would you pick to play the next James Bond?

@elonmusk @Not_the_Bee I prefer meaning, and so do you, if you are honest with yourself.

Actually, AI/Robotics will mean everyone can have a penthouse if they want. The output of goods & services will be several orders of magnitude higher than today’s economy. Read the Iain Banks Culture books for the best imagining of how it will be. That said, what is the future you want? Amazing abundance seems the best to me.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@curraheevet @adamcarolla Uh oh...a Mensa with 1 picture in its folder....

Getting ready for the 12 inch slab. Single family dwelling

@lemonssink @KatieMiller @X @TheJusticeDept Your terms are acceptable.

@KatieMiller @X @TheJusticeDept Your first amendment means nothing in Europe. We make our own rules. If Elon doesn't like them, he can get the fuck out of here.

The Justice Department just told French law enforcement authorities it wouldn’t facilitate their efforts to investigate @X. @TheJusticeDept accused France of abusing its criminal justice system to target an American company and censor free speech — in clear violation of the First Amendment. “This investigation seeks to use the criminal legal system in France to regulate a public square for the free expression of ideas and opinions in a manner contrary to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

@libsoftiktok Incredible how easy it was to hack the brains of morons.

Tiktoker says he’s rooting for Iran to destroy the U.S. military How are we supposed to share a country with these freaks??

@TheMichaelEvery Live view of the naval mission:

After it reopened.

@MbarkCherguia yep!!!

Do drivers have the right to plow through protesters when roads are blocked and their cars are being attacked?

@Stutterfly19 @libsoftiktok Who do you think wins? Curious what the word on the street is.

@libsoftiktok She’s so insufferable, as a Californian, we cannot let this hag become governor

This might be the most brutal community note of all time

@sun_jun69301 @SpoxCHNinUS What if you are the rogue state, and the rest of the world is finally coming to terms with that?

@SpoxCHNinUS We must use the same means to deal with rogue states as they use to deal with us, so that they will not dare to act recklessly in the future. Allowing them to get away with it will only encourage them to take it a step further.

ICMYI: Chinese Premier #LiQiang has signed a decree of the State Council to publish a new set of rules on countering foreign states' unlawful #extraterritorialjurisdiction measures. ⚠️According to the rules, such extraterritorial jurisdiction measures refer to actions taken by a foreign country that violate international law and the basic norms governing international relations and that harm China's sovereignty, security and development interests, or the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and organizations. ❗️The rules stipulate that the Chinese government has the authority to take countermeasures in response to such actions and to exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction over relevant conduct if a sufficient nexus exists.

@ChinaBeigeBook Alternative viewpoint: get the robots to consume. Problem solved.

Good summary of recent developments in Chinese robotics. And, we unburied the lede.

@TheMichaelEvery Also....with what?

To whom?

BREAKING: Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris says that she is considering another run for president in 2028

@adamndsmith @martianwyrdlord Love muting stupid people

@martianwyrdlord The founder of Twitter vs the current director of Twitter

The founder of the Electronic Freedom Foundation vs the current executive director of the Electronic Freedom Foundation.

@HistorianUSA1 She's single?! this is a shocking development.

Denver nurse Allyssa K. posted this video celebrating the idea of President Trump dying on Easter, saying ‘nothing would give me more joy…the universe never ceases to amaze me’ with her usual “clotsandprayers” hashtag. As a healthcare professional, this is disturbing on multiple levels — wishing death on anyone, especially on a major Christian holiday. Can anyone who politically disagrees with her truly feel safe with her as their nurse? Nurses are supposed to preserve life, not cheer for death. Thoughts?
