The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) helped organize this opposition to redeveloping a mall abandoned since 2002 into a $5 billion data center in Maryland. PSL has organizational and personnel ties to nonprofits funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based Maoist billionaire whose connections to Chinese Communist Party interests have drawn congressional scrutiny for years. That’s a funding network worth examining as America competes with China for AI dominance.

Perhaps the most pernicious achievement of the modern left is convincing an entire generation that the appearance of compassion is morally equivalent to doing good. They have elevated intentions above outcomes, dependency above dignity, and the performance of virtue above its actual practice. The tragedy is not merely that these ideas fail. It is that the suffering they perpetuate becomes further evidence of the need for their continuation.

I use C/C++ for all my projects. Debt Badge, Clucks Capacitor, homemade power-wall, sculpting software for my haptic interface. I suppose with AI assisting, the clunkiness of developing in C disappears and the efficiency shines. How soon until the language doesn’t matter?

This infantilization epitomizes what @RebeccaForNJ07 thinks of her voters. She’s an accomplished veteran and businesswoman, but she dresses herself like a schoolgirl and uses elementary school vocabulary to talk about identity, not governing. She doesn’t think they want competence and authority. What matters is affirmation and emotional reassurance. Welcome to the adult baby era of congress.

One of the most pernicious lies of communist social security rhetoric is that they’ll fix it with a rich-to-poor transfer. They’re proposing a HENRY-to-WRINK transfer.

As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Security’s solvency for generations. How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

The first novel I ever loved was A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, but I recently learned a lot of men despised it, and see it as something they were forced to endure to entice stupid overly emotional girls! /s Holy entitlement Batman.
The first novel I ever loved was the survival classic Hatchet, but recently I’ve learned that a *lot* of women despise this book, and see it is as something they were forced to read in school to entice the idiot illiterate boys in their English class. I dove into that tension!

For every step forward that I have taken to lower costs here in New Jersey, we have seen the Trump Administration taking 10 steps back. Now, Democrats truly have the ability to fight for the people we serve.

As a former IHOP overnight assistant manager, I cannot in good conscience allow the company’s decision to restrict free Veterans Day pancakes to DINE-IN ONLY. I am putting IHOP franchisees nationwide ON NOTICE that I will use EVERY LEGAL AND REGULATORY TOOL available to me to prevent this. My years of service COMPEL me to act. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Today, I sent a letter putting New Jersey’s port and terminal operators on notice: importing Russian diesel violates federal law and could carry serious civil and criminal consequences. New Jersey will not stand by while Donald Trump supports Vladimir Putin at the expense of Americans. Instead of lowering costs, these imports help finance Putin’s war against Ukraine and a campaign of violence and terror that endangers our servicemembers abroad. As a Navy veteran, I cannot let that stand unchallenged. Our ports must not be complicit.

People in an orderly line going to vote at a conveniently open early polling location is what voter suppression looks like? No, this is what voter suppression looks like. Before the Voting Rights Act, only 6.7% of voting-age Black residents were registered. In 2024, 83.1% of Black Mississippians were registered to vote, MORE than the 78.8% of white Mississippians. This is dishonest to the core, and offensive to the legacy of real victims of civil rights abuses.
This is what voter suppression looks like.

NYT is the weirdest mix of post-structuralist slop and bourgeois self-pity, dressed up as investigative journalism.

I can’t accept this is AI, even if it is. It too perfectly encapsulates like 1940s technicolor weirdness. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/AgentChud/status/21067…
