This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online
This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

I'm past trying to convince national Democrats of stuff, and posting on social media wouldn't do that anyway. But I really believe that there is an immense latent appetite in this country to BURY these fucking bullies, here and elsewhere, and that doing so is work many people want to be a part of.

Just so we're clear, they're sending innocent people to die in a hellish pit in El Salvador and defying SCOTUS orders to bring them back and have plenty of time to pitch and develop a Hunger Games for Migrants
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

Fucking THANK YOU.
Like, for real, I need a lot of you to dispense with the fantasies of objective, impartial tech. You are watching the intended purpose of this shit on display as we speak as Grok is hammered into compliance behind the scenes.
The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

One crucial thing to understand about the book & tour (about Biden's age) from Alex Thompson &
@jaketapper.bsky.social is that angry liberals yelling at them for wallowing in this bullshit while fascism takes over the country ... is *built in*. It's part of the business model. They want & expect it.

Michael Dukakis lost because he didn't talk about Jimmy Carter enough.
Bill Clinton won because he talked about Jimmy Carter all the time, making "Carter Sucks" one of his main campaign themes.
Actually no, that didn't happen. That's not how this stuff works.
"Voters only care about kitchen table issues" and "voters need public self-flagellation from Democratic elites in order to trust the party again because Joe Biden was old" are not reconcilable positions.
People occasionally say to me “I don’t find business stories funny”, and I can only assume those people have never heard of Warner Brothers:

There's a thread on Twitter that purports to show that AI can save money by producing visual effects better than Hollywood. And it's just identical shots that wouldn't exist without straight plagiarism of the source material.
It might be the dumbest thread I've ever seen.

Impossible to understate how much Trump II is an elite rebellion against the structures that gave them everything for basically no reason beyond entitlement and boredom, imho.
You took away their toys for four years by voting for functioning governance and they want to punish you for that.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.
"We just need to triangulate harder" is a maddening position to read when Republicans are consistently rewarded for doing things that would have been considered career-ending even 10 years ago.
The hubris of thinking you know what *really* appeals to voters. Like shut the fuck up please.
Anyway, one thing I've noticed about the electeds who have managed to hold difficult seats by running 5-6 points ahead of a Dem president is that they hold an eclectic mix of positions. They are never Moderate Candidate Mk4 from the politician factory with perfectly poll-tested opinions.

The most insane part of that whole discourse is that Dems *did* "moderate" in 2024. Kamala Harris ran on an immigration platform that was to the right of Ronald Reagan, and she still got destroyed on that issue. Clearly the problem is elsewhere!
This stuff is so stupid, because it's fighting the last war.

We have signed LHP Rich Hill to a minor league contract. He will report to Surprise and is expected to join Omaha (AAA) soon.
1. The person was under 16
2. Multiple reports suggest there was more than one victim, including girls "12 to 14"
3. When asked about it Rose said, to a reporter, "It was 55 years ago, babe"
4. Children under 16 legally cannot consent. There is no such thing as "consensual sex" here
5. Fuck off
