Except he didn't fund it, I did, paying a much higher tax rate than the white supremacist. Those thrusters are SpaceX tech for which we—not him—have paid ~$31 billion. I paid for those cold gas thrusters and the software running them, and what I get in exchange is a short video and white supremacy.

The foreigners are literally subsidizing the education and research of Americans, ya dipshit

Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

Surprise, surprise! Hate-based populist movements eventually gas themselves out when they realize hate & destruction doesn’t improve anything…and they get bored.

@nytimes.com David Sanger conflates Trump admin & its corrupt GOP counterparts with “Washington” as he rightly calls for bipartisan action on AI. DC IS slow to react, but that ain’t this. “As Fears of A.I. Catastrophe Magnify, Washington Stirs, but Mostly Slumbers” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/u...

nytimes.comAs Fears of A.I. Catastrophe Magnify, Washington Stirs, but Mostly Slumbers (Gift Article)President Trump has been at the forefront of the “what-me-worry?” crowd, refusing to engage on how to balance the risks and rewards of A.I.

I’m continually befuddled by the MSM’s unwillingness to just report the damn facts of such stories without framing them as a critique of both sides. The GOP controls all aspects of government and are slavishly captured by their dear leader’s whims. How can any Fed Gov failure not be on them?

More war crimes: In its fourth strike on water infrastructure, the US has destroyed two water tanks in Sirik, Iran, completely cutting off water distribution in all villages of the Bemani district and the city of Kohstak, the Hormozgan Water and Sanitation Authority says.

It's not that I think they have a super-secret plan to overturn the elections and seize power, but you're watching an entire political party, from top to bottom, meme itself into convincing itself that its opponents are inherently illegitimate, and that road doesn't go anywhere good.

Business Ukraine magazine @businessukraine.bsky.social

In the fifth year of Russia's genocidal invasion, with hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians killed, millions displaced, dozens of cities in ruins, and 20% of the country under brutal occupation, Russia is now apparently "retaliating" for Ukrainian attacks, according to the New York Times

The new racist double standard set up by Alito in the TPS ruling: if there’s any other motive in addition to the racism, the racism doesn’t count, but if the state wants to *prevent* discrimination against black people, that is racist and unconstitutional www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

"'Orwellian' has been so overused that it now has lost all of its meaning, and when there are moments like this where it's so applicable... we have to be discerning enough here to say, 'come on, this is bullshit.'" Isaac Saul on a "ceasefire" that doesn't include ceasing fire.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

They probably only let him out to avoid having him die in ICE custody. Really a 360-degree assault — decimate cancer research, send health insurance premiums skyrocketing, then detain thousands of people and deny them healthcare. Death cult.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

It’s important to note that Kent was a far-right extremist & avid conspiracy theorist. He said the FBI engineered 1/6. In his resignation letter he cited the conspiracy theory that Israel duped GW Bush into Iraq War & blamed it for conning Trump into Iran war. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
