Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.

US military carries out 1st land operation against cartels in Ecuador: SOUTHCOM The United States and Ecuador conducted joint military operations against "designated terrorist organizations in Ecuador," U.S. Southern Command announced Tuesday.

We said No War and the US government said "best we can do is every war all at the very same time oops we're almost out of bombs but that's probably fine when doing every war, all at the very same time idk we're drunk"

Imagine that being the response in the countless Benghazi hearings

Berlin is Berlining! #Berlin

Blocking bots is honorable work.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

What actions did the administration take to ensure the Iranian people will have any actions to take or structures in place for their success once the dust settles?

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

American historian Hickle on how the US and Israel threaten humanity

American historian @jasonhickel.bsky.social on how the US and Israel threaten humanity

An Omani mediator said last night a peace deal between the US and Iran was within reach.

This morning, the US and Israel bombed Iran.

No imminent threat. No legal basis. Another illegal war dressed up as “security” and “democracy”.

good day to slap the shit out of anyone who contended Trump was a dove who’d keep us out of pointless wars in the Middle East

Iran is an evil regime and deserves to fall. But that's not a good argument for launching a war of regime change without Congress and against the will of the American people.

Prediction markets are a cancer

If voting mattered, the rich would get bots and trolls to try to convince you it didn't matter, to influence elections through advertising and propaganda, and to try to stop people who vote in a way they don't like from voting at all, like passing ID laws and closing DMVs in black neighborhoods.

A thing I strongly believe, but that was only obvious in retrospect, was that drive-time talk radio was the most valuable propaganda platform in history and a big reason we got into this mess we're in now was because conservatives dominated it in the 1990s and 2000s

I would like to reassert: if it is a crime to lie to the government, it should be a crime for the government to lie to the people.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

I figure on the day he dies, no matter where I am it will suddenly be like new years eve and fourth of july combined.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

He isn’t our president. He is our occupier. The only way to defend against a malignant narcissist is 100% cut off. Starve their fragile ego from the attention they can’t live w/o. Let him be humiliated. We don’t have to subject ourselves to him, thru reps or views.

They don’t want regular Americans to gather. There lies danger for would be authoritarians.

the point of a billionaire tax is not to raise money on an ongoing basis. it is to make being a billionaire illegal

Cities need Artists. Humans need Art. Fund the arts, support your local Artists, and benefit from a better and richer quality of life.

I need all musical theatre and performing arts world to learn this lesson.

They’re not just being taught, they’re indoctrinated. There’s no fixing it.

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees.

This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

Good news: there's no durable majority for fascism

Bad news: we are locked in a life or death struggle against fascism and our victory depends on people with less understanding of how the world functions than my 14-month old

If anything, the ppl that should actually lose sleep over "what if a technology wipes out a bulk of the economy as we know it" arent the ppl that might be on the receiving end of that, but the ppl doing the tech creation. Mass social disruption never ends well for the ppl doing the disrupting.
