No natural resources. No head start.
Just education, discipline, and 60 years.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: You can't earn a billion dollars.
Ilana Glazer: That's right.
AOC: You just can't earn that.
Glazer: That's exactly correct.
AOC: You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws.
Glazer: Yup.
AOC: You can pay people less than what they're worth.
Glazer: Yup.
AOC: But you can't earn that, right?
Glazer: That's right.
AOC: And so you have to create a myth that -- since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it.
@danielorman4@CivilRights@TheJusticeDept Empty sarcasm is a another manifestation of insecurity and severe anxiety and self doubt . Hope you get better soon . Medications and some cbt and counseling will definitely help . Good luck
🚨Justice Department Investigation Determines UCLA’s Medical School Discriminated Based on Race in Admissions
"UCLA’s admissions process has been focused on racial demographics at the expense of merit and excellence — allowing racial politics to distract the school from the vital work of training great doctors.” - @AAGDhillon.

Republican State Senator Travis Holdman — who lost by over 20 points — isn’t taking it very well.
“Revenge & retribution is not a Christian value.”
All you had to do was listen to your constituents.
Pentagon confirms US withdrawing 5k troops from Germany
Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell tells FOX: “The Secretary of War has ordered the withdrawal of approximately 5,000 troops from Germany. This decision follows a thorough review of the Department’s force posture in Europe and is in recognition of theater requirements and conditions on the ground. We expect the withdrawal to be completed over the next six to twelve months.”
A Tesla motorhome would totally change family road trips. FSD handles the drive, and everyone just relaxes like it’s a mobile home on wheels.
You’d just stop at Superchargers along the way, ideally near parks or campgrounds, maybe even built right into family-friendly travel spots.
It feels like the future of road tripping, especially with Tesla Semis already proving long distance electric travel works.
@stats_feed Dumbest take ever. Just go to er closet to your house and see how an actual er works. It is a shit show. People don’t show up with textbooks symptoms in a calm and orderly manner. Good luck with having an ai robot helping a drunk man with broken leg
Harvard just tested AI against ER doctors in real emergency triage.
AI nailed diagnoses 67% of the time.
Doctors: 50-55%.
Especially strong with minimal info - exactly when every second counts.
A “profound change” in medicine is here.
BREAKING: Over 560 Google, $GOOGL, employees have signed an open letter to the CEO urging him refuse to let the US government use its AI technology for classified military operations.
"We want to see AI benefit humanity, not being used in inhumane or extremely harmful ways," read the letter, which was sent today.
This comes just weeks after Anthropic was designated a "supply-chain risk" after the company refused to give the government unrestricted access to its AI models.
Google could become the next AI giant to face US government scrutiny.
@Polymarket Russia is a paper tiger… can’t even defeat Ukraine after 4 years. Can’t help iran because all their weapons to Iran has been so useless… just using Iran as leverage against Europe and USA. Keep talking…
@Sircajam@Dakota_Meyer@SecWar He actually served in combat with distinction… what have you done with your life besides calling your mom for lunch and dinner?
@Dakota_Meyer@SecWar One dramatic photo and they’re already treating him like he personally won World War III.
Secretary of War? More like Secretary of Photo Ops.
This is what it looks like to have a warfighter in a room full of politicians…. Never get them confused. Proud to call @SecWar a friend and even more proud to serve under him.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Dem Rep. Ted Lieu is facing calls to RESIGN or be REMOVED after his slanders on President Trump being a p*do or teen s*x abuser were ACTED ON by the WHCA attempted assassin
It’s the exact same talking point.
Lieu knew it’s lies! RESIGN

INVESTORS DUMP U.S. STOCKS AS GLOBAL ROTATION BUILDS
Investors are pulling money out of U.S. equities and shifting into international markets, with the trend accelerating into Q2, according to Bank of America.
Funds sold $15.4B in U.S. stocks in March while buying heavily in Europe and Japan. Over the past year, U.S. outflows have reached $284B, far exceeding inflows elsewhere.
Healthcare attracted strong buying, while tech—especially software and AI—saw major selling. Overall, active funds are now most overweight Europe and underweight the U.S.
@GuntherEagleman@NickJFreitas Spot on. The reasons are also simple . We live in a physical world where the laws of physics are undisputed. Masculinity means men who are capable of dealing with the physical world with success. Otherwise we all will be extinct.
🚨 @NickJFreitas NAILS IT!
“Look, masculinity in general — especially young men — has been absolutely trashed for the last 20 years. Through academia, Hollywood, corporate America… everywhere.
I want young men to hear this loud and clear: We need you to be masculine. We need you to be strong. We need you to be capable.
This whole idea that masculinity is ‘toxic’ is absurd.
We need men who can honor God, be good husbands and fathers, and be the kind of people their community and country can rely on.
Right now, especially with what we’re seeing in places like Virginia, we need men to step up and say: ‘I’m going to be personally responsible for protecting and providing for my family.’”
