This should be front news right now. We were infiltrated by communists

I’m super angry that the @SenateGOP and @HouseGOP don’t seem to feel any urgency to do anything.
Except take more vacation days.
This country is sinking and they will work about 3 weeks more THIS YEAR.
That’s it.

A cut from the Democracy Files. Long but worth it. Hear them explain what they mean by "our democracy" in their own words.
They don't mean democracy. Democracy means listening to the people. I used to call myself a technopeasant. I was a technocrat in Silicon Valley, and I learned better. User interface folks need to listen to users (blush), and even love them a bit.
Technocrats annoy me now. I want to take my pitchfork and storm the castle.
Their glossary makes the word mean rule by people with the right credentials. The appointed sense-makers do the speaking. Elections and regular people need not apply. They decide who gets the credential.
Here they are, saying it.
We've tried rule by experts. It sucks. Experts are still humans, and humans get things wrong.
(Grumpy Note: This one is long, 50 minutes. At 5am I cut it to solo shots of the leaders because you have to forgive the gullible. The first cut was almost 3 hours, and it also put 56 other people on screen.)

Marsha Blackburn just said the SAVE Act hit the Senate floor SEVEN times. No Democrats voted for it. Not one.
Republicans had the majority. They still kept the filibuster. The bill died.
That's not "the system." That's a choice.

To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.
Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.

SIXTY. FUCKING. YEARS.
Sixty years of busting my ass.
Working.
Paying taxes.
Playing by the rules.
And for WHAT?
So a bunch of anti-American, power-hungry politicians could PISS IT ALL AWAY?
They don't work for us.
They work for whoever WRITES THE CHECKS.
Every. Single. Time.
And nobody EVER pays a price.
I'm sick of it. I'm DONE being quiet.
We are LOSING America, folks.
So primary them.
Vote them out.
Show up at every meeting and every ballot box until they FEAR us.
Or we will never get Her back.
Who's with me?

Dear @AbdulElSayed ,
You may declare that, but it doesn’t make it true.
We will not surrender our state or country to you or any other nation or terrorist like you.
This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and you are going to FAFO.
Sincerely, AMERICAN PATRIOTS

Wrong question.
"Will Islam take over America by 2050?" Grok pulls up the Pew numbers, everyone nods, debate closed. But nobody serious is worried about a sharia takeover. The real question is simpler and far more uncomfortable: does it actually work to put two cultures with very different ways of life in the same place, at scale, and hope it sorts itself out?
Good timing, I'm French. We've been running that experiment for 40 years. Here's how it went.
Starting in the 80s, the French left turned immigration from a practical question into a moral one. SOS Racisme, "Touche pas à mon pote", concerts, badges. The message was clear: if you ask whether integration is actually working, you're a racist. End of conversation. The right was too scared to push back, so it went along. Meanwhile entire neighborhoods were built, filled, and left to themselves. In 2011 a think tank close to the Socialist Party openly advised the left to stop chasing the working class and build its majority on minorities and graduates instead. Immigration stopped being a policy. It became an electoral strategy.
Where we are now: the 2005 riots. 2015, Charlie Hebdo and the Bataclan. Samuel Paty, a history teacher beheaded in 2020 for showing a cartoon in a class on free speech. Dominique Bernard, a teacher stabbed to death in his own school in 2023. Teachers who self-censor. Neighborhoods where police go in with caution. Whole parts of the country where the Republic exists mostly on paper.
And this isn't a far-right talking point. Gérard Collomb, longtime Socialist mayor of Lyon and Macron's Interior Minister, a man who read the police notes every single morning, said this the day he left office in 2018: "Today we live side by side. I fear that tomorrow we will live face to face."
That's the real subject. Not a takeover. A slow erosion. Trust between neighbors. Schools that can teach everything. Police that can enter every street. People willing to pay taxes for strangers because they feel those strangers are part of the same "us". That's what makes a country work, and it's exactly what dissolves, one neighborhood at a time, when you stack communities next to each other with no shared norms and forbid anyone from saying so.
Second case: the UK.
Rotherham. At least 1,400 children sexually exploited between 1997 and 2013 according to the official Jay report, overwhelmingly by gangs of men of Pakistani heritage. Then Rochdale, Oldham, Telford, Bradford. And the worst part isn't even the crimes. It's that police, social workers and councils knew, and looked away, partly because they were terrified of being called racist. Girls of 12 and 13 were treated as if they were making "lifestyle choices". It took until 2025 for a national audit to say it plainly, and until 2026 for a full national inquiry to open. Decades late. Hundreds of recommendations ignored.
Same mechanism as France. A taboo that protects an ideology, and real people who pay the price.
So here's my question to everyone still defending this model: why? Why absolutely insist on forcing this project when every time it's been run at scale, it produced chaos? Chaos for the natives who watch their country change under their feet and get called bigots for noticing. And chaos for immigrants and their kids, stuck in ghettos, pulled between two worlds, the majority who just want a normal life lumped in with the worst. Nobody wins. Except the people who get to feel morally superior from neighborhoods where none of this ever happens.
America still has time to have this conversation honestly. Europe waited 40 years. Don't.
@grok what’s the chances of Islam taking over America and implementing sharia law by say 2050?

Just got an email from Oregon Secretary of State that there was a problem with my mid-term ballot. To call them to find out what the problem was so I can fix it so my vote counts.
They already declared the winners.
In Oregon - if you don't vote blue, they just don't count your vote.

🚨 See those annoying blue lines?
Those are college students, graduate students, and young Americans 18-25. The new generation of voters.
Support for Marxism and communism is now at 42% among that age group, That number is unprecedented in our nation.
It's spiked in the last 16 months. That 42% came out of the woodwork during the midterms, which helped to drag these monsters across the finish line in red states.
Support for the assassination of ANYONE who disagrees with them politically is now at 45%.
That number has risen 17 points in the last year.
Let me say that again: Since Charlie Kirk was murdered, the support among millions of young Americans in favor of more assassinations with people you politically disagree with has gone up 17 points... IN ONE YEAR.
Countless professors on federally funded campuses call for more bloodshed. There are days when I cannot keep track of all the professors inciting violence.
I am deadly serious when I ask this question: How does Linda McMahon still have a job?
This isn’t personal. It’s business. It’s survival.
If these numbers happened under Joe Biden, or God forbid a Harris presidency, MAGA would be screaming.
Colleges are no longer just a business where reducing paperwork or ensuring college coaches and athletes earn more money should be the priorities.
$79 billion was handed to the Department of Education 10 months ago. And these are the results?
I'll be blunt: This administration has a MASSIVE generational blind spot. I don’t want to use the term “boomer,” but the generational disconnect is becoming more glaring by the day.
The more frightening thought is that I honestly believe President Trump has no clue what’s going on at these universities because the so-called “gatekeepers” aren’t telling him.
If he looked at my timeline for one week, he'd never stop throwing up.
It’s long past time to put people with national security and counterterrorism experience in charge of the Department of Education.
At the very least, dedicate an entire floor to experienced teams who can easily target extremist networks and foreign influence operations on federally funded campuses.

Speaking as a computer scientist...
Note also that the numbers you referenced aren't all just 64-35, they're all 64.6 + or - 0.2, and 35.4 + or - 0.2. That's even more unlikely.
This is what happens when you don't pay attention in math class. Likely some corrupt programmer put in a random factor that he thought would alter the numbers, without making it look like it altered the numbers. Like (brain-dead example) "If this ballot was for the opponent, and the random number generator is greater than 0.6, then change it.". But he didn't bother to do the math, or he would have realized that if you use whatever that random element is, over enough cases, then the result converges on 64.6 and 35.4.
At least if I was going to vet the program that did this, then that's what I'd most expect to find. This is a typical undergrad mistake. Just because your algorithm has a randomizing element, that doesn't mean that the result isn't going to converge, over a large enough number of trials.
Also note that this kind of manipulation almost always leaves a footprint in the data. Statisticians who specialize in analyzing voting results know what properties honest results should have. Unless the corrupt programmer really knew what he was doing, they'll spot the strange results, and the nature of the strangeness will give them a strong clue as to what the programmer did.
HOLY CR*P 🚨 How is this even possible??
All of California’s major candidate election results are the EXACT SAME percentages for Democrats and Republicans
Governor 64% (D) vs 35% (R)
Lieutenant Governor 64% (D) vs 35% (R)
Secretary of State 64% (D) vs 35% (R)
Controller 64% (D) vs 35% (R)
Treasurer 64% (D) vs 35% (R)
Attorney General 64% (D) vs 35% (R)
Supreme Court Justice: Joshua Groban 72% (D) vs 28% (R)
Supreme Court Justice: Kelli M. Evans 72% (D) vs 28% (R)
These don’t look like real election results, they look like a computer algorithm
Our elections are fake
