He calls 31% approval polling fake. Iran strikes in February, the pump climbing, 37% of his own party against his economy.

Who pays the fake gas bill, motherfucker?

What we’re up against in the U.S. during this election.

Yesterday:

1. Meta closed the No Kings accounts on the day of the protest. Restored them later, saying “our bad.” But did not restore admin privileges.

2. We learned that millions of people had no idea about the protests because Meta suppressed posts about it.

3. Bluesky closed the @DemocracyMattersALot@mstdn.social account for “unusual activity.” (No idea if it has been restored.)

And for months we’ve been watching the fascists do everything in their power to restrict voting rights.

The billionaires know they’re the minority. Not economically (which is obvious) but ethically. Otherwise they wouldn’t be working so hard to stop democracy.

I wanna believe most Americans are good people. We’re fighting for what’s right. But our enemy has massive resources and control. That what we need to quell.

Keep fighting. Stay vigilant. And for fuck’s sake, vote!

It's very easy to get depressed by the state of politics right now, but then you see interactions like this one, and it rekindles your faith. A new generation of politicians will come forward and they will be different.

Zelenskyy with the receipts:

Quote from Zelenskyy: "To understand whether these are really technical problems at SpaceX, or whether it is some kind of operation or agreement to restrict us, to disconnect us, to prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people... we sent a couple of cars with Starlink to the territory of European Union countries, and they drove at speeds of over 180 km/h where permitted. Starlink works. We have the corresponding records and the corresponding evidence."

This WSJ investigation exposes yet more Tether-related corruption at the White House, revealing that they paid Bo Hines' consulting firm millions as he was ensuring the Genius Act stablecoin law would benefit them.

I needed a diagram.

Dutch bank ABN Amro (one of the big 3) is at risk of being hit by US sanctions, because of services it provides to the ICC.

Worst case scenario ABN AMRO would be excluded from the international banking system, which would be the "corporate death penalty" and has already caused another bank, the Amsterdam Trade Bank, to go under.

Interview: AI is not the threat. It's the people building it "that are the existential risks to humanity."

"If a bridge collapses, we don’t ever ask, “Was the bridge uncontrollable? Was the bridge unethical?” And really, AI is no different than that."

When we describe these systems as if they have their own agency, we’re helping the companies market themselves. "We’re also helping them sidestep accountability."

The Clarity Act cloture vote has failed by a 49–50 margin; well short of the 60 votes needed. No Democrats crossed over to vote for the bill, and three Republicans voted against.

Senator Collins’ (R-ME) NO vote on Clarity was the most surprising today. She was defending the bill to constituents as recently as last week. My guess is she did not believe the bill had a chance to pass, and was more worried about defending a yes vote as her re-election prospects look slimmer.

Newsletter: The supposedly “unprecedented” ethics restrictions in the industry-written Clarity Act exempt Trump’s crypto businesses and leave enforcement to his loyalists. Senators must vote no on cloture tomorrow.

The day may come when all that we have created, appreciated, and loved is gone, burnt to ash that will blow over the hard stone and sift into the barren sand. But I believe that we can—and must—choose to rise against the cruel and heartless few who value nothing beyond the pathology of their own accumulation and their baseless aggrandizement.
