Very little sympathy for this “I thought it was just going to be criminals” schtick. They made it crystal clear they wanted to do mass deportations for ethnic cleansing, which necessarily meant the vast majority would be non-criminals. If you chose to spin yourself another story that’s on you.

“Tonight the president did not shit his pants or make a number one on the podium. Truly presidential and it puts the Democrats in a tough spot” - CNN seconds after Trump ends

Not warehouses. Concentration camps.

And he has bragged about it. Obviously entirely acceptable in the circles. The Epstein class has got be taxes out of existence and Musk belongs in jail.

Moscow is now fighting Washington’s war in Europe. High time Brussels wakes up. But the conservatives are still happy to collaborate with Trump and Putin’s far-right stooges and Hungary is still a cheap manufacturing plant for Germany’s car industry.

It’s not that subtle tbh.

A new law in Israel blocks Palestinians who've graduated from universities in the occupied West Bank from teaching in Israeli schools

A reminder that in July 2024 the ICJ ruled that Israel is an apartheid state

genuinely so fucking funny kash patel was partying at the olympics almost simultaneously as trump was nearly assassinated by one of his own supporters again

A remarkably disheartening thing is you get the sense there are a handful of genuine historic fork in the road moments of what kind of country we want in our lifetime, and I still can’t shake how much during the height of Covid we had a decision of what lessons we’d all take from it and what…

Das ist für mich wirklich eines der großen Rätsel aktueller (aka die letzten 30 Jahre) Wirtschafts- und eigentlich auch Geopolitik sowie von Auto- & Energiekonzernstrategien in DE/EU: Wie kann man so lange ignorieren, was die der größte Markt der Welt als seine offizielle Politik veröffentlicht?

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Judeo-Christian heritage

…and they looked the part

German soccer club Werder Bremen will not fulfil their proposed US summer tour, citing recent ICE actions in Minneapolis as not fitting the values of the club. The club had provisionally been planning to spend a week between Minnesota and Detroit in May. www.nytimes.com/athletic/705...

AI is going to make it nearly impossible for anyone to afford a new PC, phone, or gaming console -- all in the name of a future that will never come to pass and a present that will just make a few dudes rich. This is unacceptable

It's not a new observation, but I'm always struck listening to Trump cry and whine about how he's the victim, bitch and moan about how mean and unfair everyone is to him, brag endlessly about how great he is and how unfair it all is, to remember that his cult thinks he's the Peak Alpha Male

Yet another crazy move by the most demented US admin ever. But Chile will be governed by a subservient fascist soon, so Washington won't have to worry too much about an administration that defends the country's interests.

That’s the self-sabotage stage of capitalist greed rage

Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.

Lots of them are panicking that AI uptake isn't fast enough and they might run out of momentum to do the sweep they are attempting to do on society.

This isn't about AI, it's about the window in which they have permission to remould society.

DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?

TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

Shocking. The company and its talent have proven themselves. They delivered the first banger for the #PS5 and were therefore crucial in the console's success.

He can't function for more than three hours a day. How's that not a story? (Rhetorical. Media moguls like him and want to help him destroy everything that's good and holy.)

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.

South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.

Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.

USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Trump genuinely has a head full of mashed potatoes and zero understanding of how literally anything (outside of sexual assault and real estate fraud) work yet it's curiously not a consistent throughline in establishment press narratives

NY Intelligencer headline: "AOC's stumble is a warning to the left"

The brunchlord establishment press hates progressives (especially female) exponentially more than fascism and it's simply not subtle

That, and whining. Republicans love to accuse media and activists they don’t like as “whiners.” Constantly. But all the right does is whine

The more I think about the DC press slagging AOC for a lack of FP depth while Donald Trump is President, twice, is making me angry enough to explode. The fuck is wrong with the journalists that they're like this

The argument that you have to get into (civil) dialogue with the far right is factually and morally wrong. Most are bad-faith actors. And even those that are not are rarely actually “confronted” with their “controversial” ideas and assumptions — which you can read in their publications anyway.
