Research shows that in the last 100 years, immigrants to the US
— go to jail less
— are employed more
— are married more
— live with children more
— are in better health

Than their US born counterparts. This holds true for every immigrant race as well.

The ABC News payout to Trump is so dangerous, bowing to the authoritarian even though they'd win the case. Just worried about losing access.

And no other corporate media are doing stories on the outcry about it. They'll just all fold. There are many other lawsuits from Trump & Co.

Israel is invading Syria.

While committing genocide in Gaza, settler terror in the West Bank & bombing raids on Lebanon, Israeli tanks roll into Damascus.

This is a system of oppression that knows no borders — yet the UK government parrots lines about “Israeli self-defence”.

They rush to get their stuff before others and find relatives etc

Maybe it was found earlier than revealed

Romanian court cancels presidential election amid Russian influence fears Constitutional court throws Romanian politics into turmoil, 2 days before runoff vote was due to take place.

🚨 BREAKING: Romania’s top constitutional court has annulled the country’s presidential election, after security services warned the vote had been distorted by a mass Russian influence campaign to favor a far-right candidate.

Romanian court annuls first round of presidential election Ruling follows revelation of declassified intelligence alleging Russia ran online campaign to promote far-right outsider

Why is Romania able to cancel a democratic vote that was affected by Russian interference when UK politicians were unwilling to do so with the Brexit vote?

Maybe the UK should not have told Romanian's to "go home" and instead be learning from them?

Brazil, South Korea and now Romania all showing the world exactly how you handle right wing shite bags.

Trump v. Clinton: The media double standard on the influence of foreign cash On Monday, Popular Information reported that Justin Sun, a Chinese national currently being prosecuted for fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission, sent President-elect Donald Trump $18 millio...

Remember the NYT's obsessive coverage of the Clinton Foundation? There was never an iota of wrongdoing exposed, but the coverage made it *look* like there was. Meanwhile, foreign donors are sending millions directly to Trump, *after his election*, & NYT doesn't care.

Kash Patel has pledged to go after Trump’s political opponents, he’s spread conspiracy theories, he backed the effort to try to overthrow the 2020 election, he supports the Jan 6 rioters, he’s a QAnon believer, and he wants to destroy the FBI. It’s all in the public record. He’s dangerous & unfit.

Before you say so: Trump’s hush money prosecution can be in this category. The other ones cannot. In fact, the Georgia and Jan 6 cases were absolutely necessary to defend democracy: you have to punish heavily someone who tries to overturn electoral defeat. The problem there was excessive leniency.

I keep coming back to @adamprz.bsky.social: democracy is a system where parties lose elections. Anything that creates a tilted playing field that makes it hard for the opposition to win: that’s backsliding. Hunter Biden’s pardon is gross, but it’s not that.

That said, you can’t fault Biden entirely: Hunter’s prosecution and conviction were highly political, and the idea that Trump needs any precedent for anything is ridiculous.

⚡️⚡️⚡ “Syrian state TV reports that Assad regime has fallen in Aleppo.

Assad did not return to Syria & is still in Moscow.”

👏 Wonderful news! Let’s hope that this is Assad’s end.

👉 This is a strong blow to Russia.

Awesome book!

You cant hide from the fact that bottomline maga is the stupid people

People are dumb but that is a reality we have to live with and not get any delusions. Will be a long hard uphill unfortunately

First, the owner of the LA Times spiked the editorial board’s endorsement of Harris.

Now he has gone full MAGA

Sad that sam harris or tim miller still not here

Yes it is there. Unfortunately not carried over

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Bluesky Is Turning Into a Strong X Alternative Bluesky has a hint of the old Twitter magic, but the feeling of freedom it offers might be even better.

“.. After an hour or so of scrolling through Bluesky the other night, I felt something I haven’t felt on social media in a long time: free.

“.. Free from Elon Musk, and his tedious quest to turn X into a right-wing echo chamber ..”
