the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?"

Mark Kelly: "It seems to."

Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?"

Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."

In the working out of a great national program which seeks the primary good of the greater number, it is true that the toes of some people are being stepped on and are going to be stepped on. But these toes belong to the comparative few who seek to retain or to gain position or riches or both by some short cut which is harmful to the greater good.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be β€œno ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M β€” 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Lets explain how escalating/manufacturing a military confrontation with Venezuela gives the administration a legal β€œhook” to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, one of the oldest national-security laws still on the books. This statute allows a president to detain, restrict, or deport non-citizens

Benjamin Netanyahu officially submits a request for a pardon from Israeli President Isaac Herzog - without any admission of guilt.

Netanyahu is charged with one count of bribery and three counts of fraud & breach of trust, in three separate cases.

His trial began in 2020 and is far from finishing.

Netanyahu's plane takes a longer route to the US (and avoids Irish airspace) due to arrest fears Netanyahu travelled an extra 400 kilometres on Sunday to avoid Irish airspace.

You mean Ireland. During his 1st flight since ICC to USA, he flew over EU no problem but avoided irish Air space. At the time I was very disappointed that he felt fine flying over France & Italy. I know things have changed but it shows a neglectful complicity by EU

Netanyahu has requested a pardon from Israeli President Herzog. Netanyahu hasn’t been convicted yet and his trial is ongoing. We have to assume a pressure campaign on Herzog will follow and that Netanyahu will demand a pardon without admission of responsibility.

Does it say what pardon is for? I've a feeling it's for corruption NOT genocide. . . Cause the Israeli gov doesn't see that as a crime. . .

Pardon for . . .?

It doesn't say.

Probably his corruption case because we know he doesn't think he's committed any other crimes 😑

Rahmanulla Lakanwal is the National Guard shooting suspect.

Interesting that there were 36 searches for his exact name.

4 hours before the shooting.

I bet Stephen Miller knows why.

AMERICANS DO NOT WANT TO ETHNICALLY CLEANSE THE NONWHITE POPULATION. Only a tiny cabal of dedicated white supremacists led by Stephen Miller wants that.

But Americans are being lied to by their cowed, billionaire-controlled media about what their government wants.

When it opens with "I am Irish-American and planning to move to Ireland" you brace yourself for A Comment And A Half.

Then you add "the Quora factor" - you are not expecting sensible chat here.

... and somehow, he still manages to shock us.

screenshot of a tumblr post from user β€œwildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.
