Thanks for admitting that you think other people being Nazis means you can't be one, as well.
Bezos is a mentally ill trumpkin. But a rich one.
It’s textbook ethnic cleansing and shame on the Post for failing to state that in this reporting.
Trump plan to redevelop Gaza into a series of luxury resorts is slated to contain up to six “AI powered smart cities”, according to the “prospectus” reviewed by the Post. The plan assumes the “voluntary” departure of all now living in Gaza. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Not that the current WH is famous for sanity but it's wild that this lunatic raving is being printed up and talked about seriously. They're playing the trump gaza video for each other and nodding with furrowed brows, taking notes
Or VCs pretending to be tech people, whatever this is. A digital token you can redeem in what, 20 years, for an ai powered apartment. Wtf are you talking about
Tech people are insane
WTF. Like dystopian sci fi come to life.
I guess I'd be remiss if I didn't promote my own research here--which is about the 60+ year, far right insurgency inside the GOP that finally realized its goal with the nomination of an illiberal, conspiracy-obsessed, anti-leftist populist named Donald Trump. rightlandia.ghost.io/walter-huss-...
And here's that "voice of the volk" posing with one of the most important organizers of the far right movement inside the GOP, Morton Blackwell, who's been at it since 1979. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton_...
Here's that "voice of the volk" Wm. Ames Curwright, the organizer of the Gathering of the Eagles events, posing for a pic at CPAC 2014 with Joseph Farrah, the editor of WND. He's the person who in 2011 convinced an NYC billionaire to double down on birtherism as his ticket to political prominence.
Anyway...Dems need to break out of the impulse to see 200 white people protesting against Covid restrictions as "the voice of the people which we must heed" while seeing 10X as many people protesting racist police violence as "a niche special interest group that's out of step with real Americans."
Just like Labour...
It's so cleaely not a fight between two kids. It was a mob attack on a kid because he's Black.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
NEW: Huge anti-Trump protests happening across the US for Labor Day. This is the current scene in San Diego. A seemingly endless line of thousands of people on the streets! @50501movement.bsky.social #workersoverbillionaires #NoKings (🎥 10-97 News)
Workers defying back-to-work orders shows growing mistrust of a system stacked against them. Govt bias fuels militancy and pushes unions beyond legal labour action. My comments in @thestar.com #canlab #aircanadastrike #aircanadaflightattendants @cupescfp.bsky.social www.thestar.com/business/air...
So while @cupescfp.bsky.social Air Canada Flight Attendants are set to vote on the proposed deal, Air Canada has delayed their pay due to “human error,” which looks a lot like flexing more power over a workforce that can afford it the least and they have been told not to talk about it? #NDP #union
Still, the government you're part of tried to break the Air Canada strike in a very obvious way. Actions speak louder than words.
So after your government trampled on their Charter right to strike, you are going to help them, right? bsky.app/profile/lale...

"Emergency youth authorization" sounds like legalese for why it's okay to bring a lost child into a bar in winter to wait for their caregiver.
Countries that will stop sending packages to the United States because of Trump’s lack of clarity on new US customs rules regarding duties on low-value packages (under $800), effective August 29, 2025.
Refusing to act, then falsely accusing those who want to see something tangible done to protect kids of attacking prayer on top of it, is doubly shameless.
This should be a non-stop media campaign for the next three years. Stop running solely against Trump; he won't be on the ballot. Explain over and over again why unless you're a billionaire, Democrats are *always* better for your personal financial situation. The evidence is abundant. 🧵1/x
Arresting firefighters putting their lives on the line to protect our communities doesn't make us safer. This evil stunt is putting families in harm's way just so Donald Trump can score a Fox News hit.
One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.
All this time, I thought it was emergency *use* authorization. Apparently it's emergency *YOUTH* authorization. The fact that Karoline Leavitt said it twice confirms she really thinks it's "youth."
Ms. Malaprops strikes again.

You're the one claiming that you have an expertise on Judaism via osmosis, sweetie. Not how the Torah says such a status is obtained.

My "ignorance" is apparently sufficient to ask you germane questions you continue to fail to answer. But keep panic-posting insults and claims to secret knowledge. Definitely what someone with a thought-out defensible position would do.

Both fully supported the Zionist white-supremacist colonial genocide and attacked trans rights. If you're going to be this vague in your support of your nebulous argument, why fucking bother? Are you always this lazy in your thinking?

Kent State resulted from a reckless decision to put unprepared, ill trained national guard troops in the wrong place/wrong time. Trump's not being reckless. Trump longs for blood and is doing everything he can to turn our cities into theaters of violence, as @jilldlawrence.bsky.social explains.

Because spreading white-supremacist medical disinfo demonstrably injures people, while the only harmful white-supremacism here is your "white moderate" pearl-clutching defense of the assault on the 1A,you fucking empty-headed ghoul.

The 1A is under active assault, and you think your white-supremacist privileged comfort is the most important factor here? Cowardly @demconvention.bsky.social corporatists like yourself are the reason the Dems have half the approval rating of even King "Epstein" Trump's garbage 38%.
to be quite clear, if the US sending people to an El Salvador concentration camp isn't enough rationale to protest with action, I think it is genuinely useful for people to force the admin to defend their illiberal governance
I think one of the reasons Israel is as unpopular as ever is the average defender of Israel, whether it be a reporter on the BBC or an op ed columnist for the NYT, is astronomically stupid

Ashley says cancer doesn’t kill people and we shouldn’t surgically remove it. Coffee enemas, instead, are curative, she says. Telling people with cancer they shouldn’t have surgery, which may be their best chance at a cure, is diabolical. Here’s how we know whether surgery will help someone. 1/2

ICYMI: Tesla may have been founded on green principles, and it may have received billions in company-saving climate subsidies. But following Elon Musk's recent heel turn, Teslas' onboard Grok AI is now outfitted with a "personality" setting that makes it spew climate conspiracies.

The media when Trump was telling everyone what he was going to do: He's being bombastic. He'd never do that. The media when Trump is doing what he said he'd do: You know, he has a point about immigration/crime/trans people/DEI/anti-genocide protesters.
