I think it behooves us to be skeptical of stories about AI driving people to believe wrong things and commit ugly actions. Not that I like the AI slop that is filling up our social media, but when we look at the ways that AI is harming us, slop is pretty low on the list. 1/
“I would have testified, but it’s illegal to lie on the stand and that’s unfair” is certainly a good defense
Trump claims he "would have loved to have testified" but didn't because he would have been busted for perjury if he had said "one little thing wrong."
The Iraqi guy i follow on IG who does funny nature videos in broken English just posted a more compassionate and well written statement then like 90% of activists and journalists I’ve seen.
George H.W. Bush used policy to put acid rain behind us. And before that, Reagan led an international agreement to close the ozone hole. You can live in an alternate reality where we have no power. I prefer the real world, where we solve problems. washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost…
There is no climate emergency. They have been saying that for years. what happened to acid rain?
Every Republican right now is defending Trump and attacking the prosecutor without even yet knowing what the charges are. Weird. It’s like the facts & the law don’t matter to them.
The red line is when Republicans ended the national assault weapons ban.
Thread: As Democrats push for huge budget increases for cops, I'm thinking about my client Cindy Rodriguez. She was a 51-year-old mother of two living with a physical disability. Police arrested for shoplifting from a grocery store. What happened to her next is important.

There were 1,542 news stories about “rainbow fentanyl” in the two months before Halloween, most warning that dealers could slip this drug to trick-or-treating kids. There hasn’t been a single story today confirming this happened anywhere in the U.S. washingtonpost.com/media/2022/10/…
I have an ethics plan to clean up Washington and make it work for the people again. Eric Schmitt would just be another grifter in it for his own personal gain. I can’t be bought, and I'm not in this to climb the political ladder—I will be nobody’s senator but yours.
Sometimes it's hard to know why prices are going up. Between the oil shock, a tight employment market and the climate polycrisis, is it even possible to tell if companies are using the widespread *belief* in inflation to hike prices? Uh, yeah, we *absolutely* can. 1/
US healthcare is the worst of all worlds. Unlike other wealthy countries, the US leaves insurance to the private sector, where your health and your life come second to profits. Worse: the majority of "private" insurance companies earnings come from public subsidies. 1/
One common element of modern-day fascism is the co-opting of religious groups, as in the "Deutsche Christen" movement in 1930s Germany. Once the church labels enemies "demonic" or "Satanic," then their extermination becomes a moral act. Don't let any church leader baptize hate.
Pastor Mark Burns, at Eric Trump and Michael Flynn’s event in Idaho: “I’m coming here to declare war on every demonic, demon-possessed Democrat that comes from the gates of Hell!”
So if u have a grinch in yr life, remind them the world used to be a lot cheaper, colleges less predatory, most debt is smaller than you'd think but more crippling than you imagine, poor people spend money on good things, and also that stopping the trolly is *always* good.
There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”. This is known as the Shifting Baseline Syndrome. 🧵
Inflation is here, and there are a *lot* of explanations for it. People who worry about the monetary supply blame it on excessive money creation during the pandemic and uppity workers demanding higher wages: businessinsider.com/elon-musk-remo… 1/
Here’s what @tedcruz won’t admit, but clearly knows. Most mass shooters are neither felons nor fugitives. The #Uvalde shooter wasn’t. Neither were the El Paso or the Santa Fe High School shooters. Neither were the Buffalo or Sandy Hook shooters. It’s just distracting tough talk.
I’m going to keep fighting to target felons and fugitives who try to buy firearms. We need to stop bad guys from getting guns, not law-abiding citizens.
