My baby-mama says about a thousand came out to support Ann Arbor’s teachers. Our dedicated educators have been working without a contract through the end of the school year. That’s BS! Proud of my neighbors demanding we pay our teachers more now, and what they deserve ASAP.

In the bright light of what has happened since, it's worth revisiting Scott Pelley's introduction of Santiago Campos before the Mike Wallace scholarship winner called out CBS News.

"Propaganda tends to go hand in hand with a concentration camp society because propaganda always sets itself against something and uses it to fearmonger."

Tech companies sell a myth of AI as a creative mind, a romantic companion. Things it can't be. Why? It’s propaganda. Because a useful, limited tool isn’t profitable enough for billionaires. In this Next Comes What, Andrea Pitzer explains why we don’t have to accept it.

"A flimflam con man selling the world on hate and fear in order to make the next buck and outrun any consequences for criminal behavior,  Donald Trump is a physical manifestation of Edward Bernays' work."

This is one of the Republican Party's top donors, and the case he makes for AI is that it turns coders into vampires who work all night, and they love it!

We must not forget. The killing of up to 14 million humans by illegally erasing USAID is happening now. Congress could stop it. The courts could stop it. We must stop it.

Would Bernays work for Trump? Probably ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But here's a free one on building a coalition to win the war in Iran.

Is Leo an @anatosaurus.bsky.social fan? Well, why wouldn't he be?

Did you hear Leo has declared the arrival of Woke II?

I was looking for a video on why Trump hates Cornyn, and Paxton put it together for an attack ad. It's the most banal shit possible with a horror soundtrack. It's all just decent wishful thinking. John Cornyn was destroyed for seven or eight of the only decent things ever said.

I'm doing a live event today at noon ET to launch my big election year project: The Trillionaire Kill Chain You can watch it later if you miss it: www.patreon.com/lolgopstudios Here's what I'm going to talk about.

"It Is Eugenics": Paul Lombardo on the Trump Administration’s Echoes of the Past.

I'd still like to have a national conversation about Earl Warren. Did you know his role in Japanese American imprisonment? Has me thinking about how much of America's short dalliance with civil rights had to do with guilt over World War II. www.patreon.com/posts/157703...

The Homan v. Miller divide, which isn't much of a divide, is important to discuss to move beyond the cruelty that led to Trump. Homan wants to supercharge the quiet evils of ICE and CBP. Miller wants them in your face, government's obsession. Homan's back in charge now. pod.link/1779885475/e...

"This twenty-first-century version of public health is grifting all the way down." Only in America! Watch: MAGA's American Eugenics youtu.be/y6jjSW-1J6A

"There must remain no neutral ground to serve as a refuge for lawbreakers, and especially for lawbreakers of great wealth"

3 reasons to embrace nonviolence as a political strategy

Boycott REI during the Annual Sale, May 15-25. And let @evansutton.bsky.social tell you why!

One thing that makes me really sad is that there wasn’t a massive non-cooperation movement that rose up instantly for Colbert, the way it did for Kimmel. I know the circumstances were different and I am not begrudging Jimmy anything. Loved him since I was 16. I’m just saying Colbert deserved it too.

Sped up is better

For use with your normies

This is what they think they got on AOC. Century-level high on your own supply right now. Those court decisions got them juiced.

I didn't know that Earl Warren used sending Japanese Americans to concentration camps to help with the governorship. And it has me thinking that people can change, but only if the incentives do.

"Our society is sick. It is diseased."

One Day Trump Will Be Gone Andrea is focused on book writing this month so we're re-upping a couple old shows. This one takes a look at how dictators tend to hide their own mortality to keep us from dreaming of a better future. But it's coming! pod.link/1779885475/e...

I hate to admit it, but Benny Johnson is doing camp at levels heretofore unseen in American politics. J. Edgar wouldn't even do this in private.

Trumpism runs on the nuclear fusion of guilt into accusation. Blanche shut the Epstein files. The Russia files never close. This is by design and by necessity — not to find truth but to produce equivalence, to make accountability itself seem like persecution.

There has never been a greater sucker than Donald Trump and he doesn't care how many people have to die so he doesn't have to admit that.

This is almost too obvious to be said, but it must be noted. This is why Trump is incompatible with anything to do with a democracy. The inability to accept a loss gave us a coup, gave us this disastrous regime, gave us the horrific war, and may give us that war for the rest of our lives.
