I always got the feeling that Lester Holt is a Republican. If he is, I have no sympathy for him.😐 If he isn't, then touché, welcome to Krasnov Trump's America. I don't watch NBC anymore.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

civileats.comJD Vance Funded AcreTrader. Here’s Why That Matters.The real estate platform streamlines investing in US farmland. Now farms are fast becoming a portfolio staple for investors worldwide.

I suspect we’re going to be hearing more stories about failing farmers having their land bought for cheep—it’s not a coincidence. Is this why USAID was cut—to make way for billionaires?! Watch til the end and keep an eye on national parklands too. 🧵

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.” THIS HAS TO STOP.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

I think DeepSeek is lying about a lot of stuff including the $6M & it's capabilities. The AI doesn't even answer basic questions & won't criticize the CCP's regime.

Mark Cuban@mcuban.bsky.social

It depends on how much they are lying about everything. Deepseek is good. It's open source. But they aren't transparent about the economics. At least from what I have read so far. Would love everyone in the industry to please opine !

People are so gullible. Markets are reacting and DeepSeek hasn't yet provided any transparent public evidence that they used $6M to create everything they say they have.🙄 Something feels seriously off with that kind of monetary disparity.

Wolfgang Blau@wblau.bsky.social

Something I find noteworthy about the current coverage of China’s DeepSeek AI: How few, if any, news organisations make the connection between ‘fewer chips needed’ and lower greenhouse gas emissions. DeepSeek could upend the fossil fuel industry‘s recent narrative by which AI justified new drilling.

Could Trump be a sleeper agent of Russia? You know, born and bred to infiltrate and destroy? His first and third wives are Russian so there's that!🥺

Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social

Once you understand that Trump’s underlying goal of virtually ALL of his actions is to WEAKEN the United States, everything he does will make sense.

Hope this is true. You can never believe anything that comes out of Trump's white house. Nazi Elon Musk.

CALL TO ACTIVISM@calltoactivism.bsky.social

BREAKING NEWS: White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has LIMITED Elon Musk’s access to Trump, relocating his office outside West Wing and requiring DOGE reports go to her first. Womp womp.

Saw Nosferatu again. The third time is a charm, even better. One of the best made movies of 2024 hands down!! Pity it entered the Oscar race so late as I believe that Depp and Hoult would've gotten acting nominations.

Well deserved Oscar nominations foe Nosferatu. Well done Robert Eggers.

DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net

‘NOSFERATU’ has been nominated for 4 #Oscars  • Best Make-Up & Hair • Best Costume Design • Best Cinematography • Best Production Design See the full nominees list: bit.ly/OscarsNoms25

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Y'all still dont get that Trump doesn't give a shit about the law!🥴 He doesnt the ACLU Lawsuit or any other & the Extreme Court will back him.

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com

NEW: The ACLU, Lawyers for Civil Rights and 22 Democratic-led states filed four lawsuits challenging President Trump's executive order revoking birthright citizenship for babies born in the United States whose parents are not citizens. The suits claim Trump's action violates the 14th Amendment.

WELKER: Can you commit that California disaster relief won't have strings attached? MIKE JOHNSON: No, I won't commit to that ... when state and local officials make foolish policy decisions that make the disaster exponentially worse, we need to factor that in.

With the TikTok Ban, if users' first instinct is to flock to an alternative Chinese platform called RedNote, instead of flocking to an American alternative, then the US govt. is right to ban TikTok. China won!🤯

Elon Musk should be deported back to his home in South Africa. What a waste of the privileges of being a billionaire!! What an effing tool he is!

Nah@ Not even Rachel Maddow can bring me back to @msnbc.com They need collapse 💯.

MS NOW@ms.now

As President-elect Donald Trump takes office, the first one-hundred days are crucial. Beginning next Monday, join Rachel Maddow as she hosts five nights a week for the first one-hundred days of the presidency. Watch The Rachel Maddow Show, weeknights at 9pm Eastern, on MSNBC.

Happy that I was never a fan of Carrie Underwood. When the going gets tough, people will always reveal themselves.😐 What a waste of space this woman is!🥺😪

I don't care about what that MAGAT Steve Bannon is screeching about now, but these make me really sad today: 1. The LA Fires, California Fires: -Did arsonists & saboteurs start these fires which then got out of control?🥺 2. Silicon Valley- why are ~80% of engineers non-Americans on H1-B visas?😳

My gut isctelling me that arson played a big role in the LA Fires. It's too targeted. 6 -10 different fires popping up at the same time, driven by strong winds. Wldnt be shocked if right wing nuts who think Hollywood is Sodom started these fires. Just saying....

Merrick Garland was Biden's single worst appointment

Brad Heath@bradheath.bsky.social

DOJ says the Attorney General has decided not to release the volume of Special Counsel Jack Smith's report that deals with Trump's possession of classified documents as long as the case against his co-defendants is pending. That makes it very unlikely the report will become public.

Merrick Garland is compromised. I have been saying this since day one! Garland is the only person on the case that Trump hasn't directly attacked. Trump calls him a "good" man in fact. Merrick Garland is garbage & should be investigated. This is more than being a coward.This is corruption. 😐
