"If we were to find ourselves out hiking on a forest trail and spied someone approaching at a distance, he wanted to know, would we think to ourselves, “Here comes a pedestrian”?

Of course we wouldn’t. That approaching figure would simply be a person. "

Is this important?

If your favorite politician works for the genocidal apartheid state, dump them. This racist, genocidal empire is in free fall.

And this is why the Democratic Party loyalists want the Left to "shut up".

To me this translates to, He just felt like doing it because he's feeling his oats as president. Not exactly comforting.

Security lines hit three hours at some US airports as TSA absences rise Houston Hobby Airport at ‌one point on Sunday reported lines averaging 3.5 hours.

Ironically, this is the kind of thing that needs to happen, but not as a result of DHS funding lapses. Everybody needs to do what they can to shut down the fucking country and make everything impossible for the people in charge. Inconvenience every normie. Make all of this their problem, too.

The entire world is held hostage and in jeopardy because of a dysfunctional US senate. A dozen of them could wake up tomorrow and engineer his removal and end this global nightmare.

As others have pointed out, this seems like a pretty natural result of letting a cancer like the Jim Crow south metastasize unchecked.

Maybe I’ve just been staring into the abyss too long, I dunno.

The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

This is the man Senators who present themselves as serious human beings are going to rubber stamp into the office of Director of Homeland Security. Show some self-respect and some love of country and vote no.

reframing a vote for war funds as a vote against the troops is not a “hard question”, it’s an intentional, bad faith misrepresentation of the situation that derives entirely from Tapper’s biases, not from hard hitting journalism

I do hope this helps

Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.
