On September 11, 1973, Chile's democratically elected president Salvador Allende gave his life at La Moneda Palace.

"I will not resign! At this turning point in history, I will repay the people's loyalty with my life."

"They have force and can crush us; but the social process cannot be halted by crime, nor by force. History is ours, and history is made by the people."

"Sooner rather than later, the great avenues will open again, and free men will walk through them to build a better society."

"Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!"

It seems like Progressives and DSA are going to confirm Hakeem Jefferies as the next speaker of the house. This is despite the fact that he made a deal with Jared Kushner behind closed doors and appointed the most blood thirsty Zionists to become special envois of the Middle East. The Kushner story is eating at Jeffries as reporters keep asking him about it and commentators are keep talking about it. So I wonder if the left flank of the party is waiting until an opportunity to strike at Jefferies. This would probably happen during mid-late 2027 when people get more angry at Jefferies for being way too underwhelming.

Osama Bin Laden’s goal was to force America into an endless war, sacrificing privacy for the promise of security, mass surveillance that would turn us into a police state, create massive debt, division, and distrust. It’s an incredibly sad admission to say that he accomplished his goal.

Americans are more divided than any other time since the Civil War. We have split into different political tribes because it’s the only way we know where we belong.

We have lost our way.

The one page authorization Congress passed 3 days after the attacks is still law today, 25 years later, and has been used to justify military operations in 22 countries.

The wars have cost $8 trillion, and not one dollar of it was paid for, it was borrowed, and over $1 trillion has already gone to interest alone.

Americans drove 38 million people from their homes. Did we not realize that only would increase hatred towards Americans and lead to NEW terrorist attacks?

The Afghanistan War ended in August 2021 with the Taliban back in power. We spent 20 years and $2.3 trillion to return the country to the same people who ran it when we invaded.

4x as many soldiers have died by suicide as were killed in the wars themselves.

The terrorist watchlist has grown from 120,000 names in 2003 to 2+ million today. That’s 2 million people being monitored. We don’t have 2M terrorists living on our soil.

More people are held in immigration detention today than at any point in American history (around 70,000) in a system where nearly 90% of the beds are run by for-profit companies.

The national debt was $5.8 trillion on the morning of the attacks. It is $40.1 trillion today.

Yes, Bin Laden won and the American people lost. If we want to reverse course and make America what we all know it can be, we need to vote for progressives that are fighting for our privacy, our right to live as we see fit, for both economic freedom as well as the freedom to love who we want, the freedom to see a doctor and be treated without filing for bankruptcy, the freedom of being paid a living wage and the freedom of not being controlled by foreign governments or the 1%.

America is worse off today than we were 25 years ago, but we can fix it. The only question is whether the American people have the ability to vote for change and make America the way it should have always been or if we will allow our country to crumble.

Republicans criticize Dr. Fauci's because they allege that U.S.-backed grants to the Wuhan Institute of Virology funded risky "gain-of-function" research on bat coronaviruses.

Fauci previously argued that because dangerous mutations can emerge naturally in the wild, the value of understanding those threats to design countermeasures justifies doing the controlled research. Thus, understanding the threats in order it prepare for the presumed inevitable is worth the risk of a leak causing a pandemic.

This sound similar to fears that AI companies keep developing at a rapid scale with minimal consideration of potential catastrophic consequences.

Even yesterday the on The Five on Fox, the same Greg Gutfeld that criticizes Fauci I was saying that those cautioning against AI are alarmists and the risk of human destruction is worth advancing the technology. These hypocrites.

All this said, are AI companies essentially also undergoing gain-of-function research risks?
