@PeteButtigieg You realize that the senate just oked electoral rigging, right?

The Senate was the jury today, but we will be the jury tomorrow. The last word on Donald Trump and Trumpism will come through the American people—at ballot boxes across the country.

The country with the most powerful military in the history of the planet has, by congressional vote, transitioned from representative democracy to autocracy. I see no riots, no bombings, no assassinations. This has all taken place calmly, coolly, and without incident.

To @lisamurkowski No one with half a brain is buying your bullshit. Your tweets and interviews on this subject are a joke. Here's the best part. Your soulless slavery to Mitch McConnell is all on video. It's history. Forever. And you come off terrible Signed, Smart people

This isn’t getting better until a lot of people have died, is it? What a shitty ass world.

@UrbaniteAlaska As a descendent of people “evacuated” and “re-educated” by our government because some beuracrat thought we looked Japanese, some of whom are still alive, I’m aware of the bridge I just crossed. The first step to it not happening again is knowing when they’re coming for you.

@UrbaniteAlaska It’s not that he’s a great man, it’s that he’s a human with a soul, and the rest of them aren’t.

Protests right now outside the Capitol.

@mattyglesias Best shitpost.

@lisamurkowski Oh piss off you craven coward.

This afternoon, we closed a trying, difficult and painful chapter in American history as we concluded impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. The process has shown—and perhaps exacerbated—the deep division in our nation.

@Eleven_Films Brutal.

BREAKING: Remember America? We do. #ImpeachmentDay

It is hard to do the right thing - and even to keep sight of what the right thing is — when your system, group, and career incentives push you towards doing the wrong thing. Mitt Romney - and Justin Amash - deserve a lot of respect for doing the right thing when it was hard.

Having proven Trump guilty, I asked if there was just one Republican Senator who would say “enough” Who would stand up against this dangerously immoral president Who would display moral courage Who would do impartial justice as their oath required and convict And there is.

holy shit this ad

@NPR More spine than I was expecting. Dubious as they may be, it appears Romney has principles. That he is the only one also speaks volumes about Republicans.

NEW: Utah Sen. Mitt Romney has announced he will vote to convict President Trump. trib.al/PGx7NYG

@andreamatranga @jjoque Move fast and break things is great. The result of that in responsible development is called an Alpha version or a prototype.

@jjoque This. Also there's a new generation of managers that are taking the SV mantra of "move fast and break things" and applying it to aerospace, chemical engineering, biotech, etc. They should all be put on Ark Fleet Ship B.

@Noahpinion I feel like this is a perfect place to engage in massive automation. AI has the potential to be a game changer but there are headwinds in places where more of the population is working age (or likely to be soon). I’m talking Shirow level stuff here.

South Korea's population is decreasing! In fact, its fertility rate is far lower even than countries like Germany and Japan, so unless they take in a very large amount of immigrants, this fall will accelerate.
