Generalissimo indeed: the old man attacks a woman, typical sexist bully who believes this is a show of strength. Psychological midget who requires that women reflect him back at 10 times his size.

Women Who Have Abortions Would Face Decades in Prison Under South Carolina Plan Women who get abortions could spend decades in prison and IUDs would be outlawed under proposed legislation in South Carolina.

Women who get an abortion and anyone who helps them could face up to 30 years in prison under the bill.

It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.

Jesus, please smite them.

At a Justice Department conference in February, then-acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove told the department's top drug prosecutors that the Trump administration wasn't interested in interdicting suspected drug vessels at sea anymore. Instead, he said, the U.S. should "just sink the boats," according to three people present for the speech.

OMFG-ex DOJ official (& now federal judge) Emil Bove was involved in the administration's plots to murder individuals via lethal strikes

"At a DOJ conference ... Bove told drug prosecutors the ... administration wasn't interested in interdicting ... Instead... the U.S. should "just sink the boats."

One girl said “it doesn’t matter if you ban a book because everyone can find that information online” and then I blew their minds by talking about how your search history can be monitored and sold to the government without your permission, but your library borrowing history requires a warrant.

Brutality without limits

EGONOMICS

When states like Colorado passed policies requiring employers to disclose salary information in job postings, what happened?

It increased competition, and raised wages, without harming employment or changing skill requirements.

Improved functioning of markets, helped workers.

Eff it. I’d eat it.

Union-busting is an industry composed of law firms in particular. They should be better known for their activities.

Please read the whole thread. Another important example of how language and concepts distort reality. Explains why MAGA is destroying higher ed.: to maintain the power of defining the world by removing those who teach us how to use evidence and language so we can think for ourselves.

Concepts are an important method of resistance. I prefer machine intelligence to AI, it is a more correct modifier of that nebulous word ‘intelligence’

Tech Capitalists Don’t Care About Humans. Literally. It’s not just a figure of speech to say tech titans are indifferent to humanity. From Peter Thiel to Elon Musk, many are adherents of a worldview that envisions humans being replaced by digital post-h...

“Watching tech moguls throw caution to the wind in the AI arms race or equivocate on whether humanity ought to continue, it’s natural to wonder whether they care about human lives.

The earnest, in-depth answer to this question is just as bleak as the glib one.”

The new standard is that evidence is optional, & conveniently it was also deleted, so seems true to me!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

So the question then is what do Thiel & SoftBank know about Nvidia stocks?

Jeffrey Epstein Was a Warlord. We Have to Talk About It. Mainstream media is ignoring the fact that the late sex trafficker was a power broker who shaped global policy.

The Jeffrey Esptein scandal the main stream press is ignoring; he was a major player in American foreign policy with deep ties to Israel and other satrapies: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Universities spend gazillions on EdTech software that doesn’t serve faculty or student interests and often doesn’t work well. But what if we got off that path and leveraged internal resources to produce non-profit systems? Here’s a proposal to leverage the CUNY systems platforms.

as a scholar of gender and sexuality, i continue to be horrified by the unending Pedo Era rightly linked here to the war machine. Third World feminists have always insisted that unbridled power is built on expanding militarism and sexual violence

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

The curious can exercise their curiosity

Bonjour ‘Jeanne’, I agree wholeheartedly and read those other newspapers. And when one notices that the whole world is also tracking what happens in US one might realize the scale & meaning of what happens in US.

Corporations and billionaires rule the White House and Congress. Republicans in particular, whether Bush or Trump Republicans are servants of concentrated private wealth.
