As John McCain might have said, We're all Minnesotans now." We are in for the fight of our lives and proud of ANYONE

protesting, helping in whatever way possible. Most of all the strong people of Minnesota. And LA, DC, Chicago, Memphis, SF, Seattle Maine. Apologies if I left anyone out.

Raw Story link. Disgusting and horrific is where we are.

Changed the media narrative for forseeable future. Or at least a week. No Epstein news, nobody losing health care,

no affordability crisis, no Jack Smith report, etc.
Attacking a sovereign nation and abducting it's leader (and spouse, and son) is illegal and despicable, not to mention the takeover for OIL. And the green light is out there for China and Russia to do likewise IMHO. Sort of upping the ante for the dicktator club.
25th Amendment time, yet? While we're still alive.

I am sorry to bother, but as a card-carrying Luddite, I need to know (since it just popped up yesterday)

how to get rid of "Google AI mode" which apparently (to me) has no way to delete it.
AI is...... gettinng scary. Google controls 90% is what I heard yesterday on MSNBC or C-Span? I can't keep up with the firehose of fresh hell every day.
I know some DU'er knows the answer to my silly ass question and I appreciate any info/ reccs you have
Thanks.

Paramount merger affecting CBS News

just heard on MSNBC that the new parent of CBS has to place a "monitor" on CBS news content. Nothing of DEI and no criticism of this Admin.
We are well into a fascist takeover. After Columbia's cave to get 50% of their money restored (after settlement expenses), and the ICE cash infusion with the Piece of Shit Bill, I believe more than ever, that we are under attack by domestic enemies of the Republic. At least five states are desperately gerrymandering as we type.
Rolling over is not an option. For a business, a college, for Congress, or SCOTUS for that matter. They took an oath too. That seems to be forgotten.
The bully(ies) will want more of everyone's lunch money.

I'm in mourning today after watching the big, ugly bill get passed and aware of the cruel ramifications.

So many will be negatively impacted by the sheer cruelty of cutting health care, SNAP, CHIP, etc. just so megadonors and ultra-wealthy can enjoy their tax cut (now permanent). Immigrants, veterans, Medicaid and Medicare recipients, rural health care clinics (patients and employees) will all be hurt by this.
This was a travesty and it's 900 plus pages have "with malice aforethought" undermined those who need it most. Once again, the cruelty is the point.
And Drumpf holds a rally and says: "They hate Trump. That's ok, I hate them too." Now that's presidential Mr. Divider in Chief.

Hakeem did his best, and for that I am grateful.
Take care, DU'ers. Hope you're doing better than me.
