Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts
The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

bullshit. I dare you to find a single person who was exploded by a direct RPG blast to the torso and has anything negative to say about the experience.
this is why you should *never* hit someone with an rpg. it’s dangerous, it’s shitty, and it’s wrong
So, given Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blindly and instantly defended the Obamas/apes post this morning, which has now been repudiated by the White House, attacked by top GOP Senators, blamed on a staffer, acknowledged by Trump, and since deleted, shouldn’t Leavitt quit?

The part that sticks with me is not even his racist post. It’s how fast so many people rush to protect him from responsibility. They told on themselves.
The benefit of the doubt appears instantly. The excuses appear instantly.
He never earns that grace. It just shows up on demand.
Federal immigration officers detained two people inside the Hennepin County Government Center after their court hearing on charges of criminal sexual conduct.
The chief public defender for the county said the detainments were unconstitutional.

Everyone should of course take Trump's "election fraud" BS seriously because of the trouble/harm it CAN cause; but it's unwise to doom about it as signs of a wide-planned scheme MORE than his infantile refusal to accept that he is actually capable of having lost at anything ever.

Really don't think it's a coincidence that the sweaty Bannon statements about ICE at polling places and Fulton county all happens at the exact same time when the "Uh we are going to lose the senate" pieces are dropping.

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.
The tension here is palpable.
And don't think I can ignore the dynamic that nearly all of the feds present (so far) are white... and every county employee and cop is black.
The entire episode feels invasive. Pins and needles, and that's just 12 minutes in.
Reviewing video from Fulton County elections raid.
Taken aback by the dismissive & sneering attitude from FBI agents toward the cop politely asking to see the warrant.
Looked him up: He's an immigrant w/ a doctorate in philosophy. His thesis? "Force by police officers toward African Americans."

At one point, the FBI supervisory agent tells Fulton Clerk of Courts Che Alexander that he won't be filling out any paperwork for her — and she won't know who FBI agents are who seized her records.
This FBI supervisor actually just walks up to the cop and says, "You don't understand search warrants."
Called my city councilman to bawl him out for the city using AI slop on their instagram. This sucks, I hate this, I am being chewed by the machine but it WILL choke on my fat ass.
worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead
"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

1. this is bullshit
2. it is a good thing that an outcry against extremely racist stuff led to a bullshit excuse rather than a defense on the merits
POLITICO reporting that the White House has now claimed the ape video was an accident and removed it.
welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

This happened only hours before his racist post. Not a coincidence. A Black man had the temerity to ask trump to not be a terrible person.
wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."
A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"
Texas AG Ken Paxton has announced legal action against the Houston area Screwston Antifascist Committee, alleging commission of terrorism and doxing. Their account has been quiet for some time, but this was one of their last posts — identifying a neo-Nazi.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams
To recap the White House's official position, the racist video was posted erroneously by a staffer and they took it down, but even if it was posted on purpose, the outrage would have been fake because the post was fine and inspired by the Lion King
