Palantir CEO laughs about profiting from killing Palestinians using AI. He calls them 'Hamas' 'useful idiots' and 'mostly terrorists'. But there is only one terrorist here, and Palantir are war criminals.

NEW: A dark money group Is secretly funding high-profile Democratic influencers, offering influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content. a truly wild story from @taylorlorenz.bsky.social for @wired.com:

if you’re going to talk about constraints placed on the CIA by Congress you might want to note that the CIA has been found to be hiding operations from Congress and also spying on Congress

No more money for ANY democratic candidate until they fully and unconditionally support an arms embargo. At this point, we should be bombing Israel.
Debs (@laborsideart.bsky.social) reply parent
They still have jobs because getting Democrats in power is not job 1. Beating back the left so donors continue to control the party and the gravy train keeps rolling is job 1.

Everything the rich have ever wanted is being delivered, a further weakened labor movement, a gutted regulatory regime, a public sector being strangled in a puddle. The rest was hokum invented by academic scribblers searching for a logical rationale for the rich to be more dominant.

Being right wing is so hard bc you’re not allowed to acknowledge any actual phenomena that shape the world, so when you try to describe something you just end up sounding like if a person speaking in tongues worshipped the internet instead of god

We have to come to terms with the way women and especially women of color, no matter how closely connected to evil, are beyond public reproach. We need to judge people on their merits (in addition to neo-reconstruction, reparations, land redistribution, etc.) But no more tokenism.

No. We are not doing this anymore. It is 2025. Usha Vance stays with her husband because she agrees with him. There is no evidence that she loathes him at all. Yale-educated women can be fascist too.

Lay out your serious plan for stopping people from pissing all over public transit, playing their phones without regard for other passengers, and dropping their trash all over. If your plan is, "deal with it", nobody is on board.
Debs (@laborsideart.bsky.social) reply parent
Again, I don't want piss and litter and public nuisance. You do, because you have some incoherent politics.
Debs (@laborsideart.bsky.social) reply parent
No. I've just seen more functional societies. China for example. You're a degenerate anarchist. I don't want your piss-world.
Debs (@laborsideart.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. We don't agree.
Debs (@laborsideart.bsky.social) reply parent
Not at my beck and call, of course. I'm calling people who play their phone speakers in public antisocial. And that point's not really seriously contestable.

"Hey man put headphones on" works and doesn't inordinately provoke defiance and hostility, risking violence, only in your lovely but naive dreams.
Debs (@laborsideart.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm not afraid. I just don't want to live in a world like that. It's unpleasant. Anti social people will respond with defiance, shouting, or violence.

I don't want to live in your shitty world. We can do better.

I wish it were rare. Public awareness campaign is good. Free earbuds funded by citations for violation is one I was thinking. But I wouldn't want armed city cops handing them out.

Have you interacted with people rude enough to play their speaker in public?
Debs (@laborsideart.bsky.social) reply parent
So do we have no options to enforce common decency and respect on public transit?

I was into anarchy in middle school too, but now I think there should be mandatory respect for others in public places.

I was referring to headphone use on public transit and public spaces. Not necessarily on bikes. Cars shouldn't exist in dense areas.

Netanyahu continually says "Jews = Zionism; Zionism = Jews". So, any anti-Semite simply has to agree, then note some Zionist evil. Voila! Suddenly, they can argue that their hate is justified. This is how Zionists put Jews in danger.
