I wonder how many Iranian synagogues are being destroyed by US and Israeli freedom bombs.

I read what you wrote. "There is no difference between the word, communist and Elon Musk."

It's objectively false.

And then you brought up Putin, as though he's relevant.

Putin isn't a communist either.

Elon Musk is singlehandedly doing more to ruin capitalism's reputation than a thousand communist propagandists could hope to do in a hundred lifetimes.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.

No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

Yes, ICE is a Gestapo-like police force compromised largely of white supremacists who were unable to obtain jobs in traditional law enforcement. But so many of the anti-ICE people I talk to are like the worst wine moms . I have never felt more politically homeless.

ICE is murdering people and lying about it.

Don't let them get away with it.

Everyone paying attention: "It's about the oil!"

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

For those wondering, the offending post was "China is a capitalist country," which seems about as "reactionary" as saying "bears shit in the woods."

I don't think they've changed all that much; they were spying on pro-Palestine groups back in the 70s and 80s.

They're just a lot louder about who they've always been.

An Anti-Defamation League that actually believed in its stated mission would savage Trump for his comments about Rob Reiner and his wife, but they are too busy trying to find out whether an Oberlin student said something critical of Israel.

A wrong Grok post making up a white guy who stopped the Australian mass shooting. BBC
'Hero' who wrestled gun from Bondi shooter named as Ahmed al Ahmed

A "hero" bystander who was filmed wrestling a gun from one of the Bondi Beach attackers has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed.

Video verified by the BBC showed Mr Ahmed run at the gunman and seize his weapon, before turning the gun round on him, forcing his retreat.

Mr Ahmed, a fruit shop owner and father of two, remains in hospital, where he has undergone surgery for bullet wounds to his arm and hand, his family told 7News Australia.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.
