it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

Can Trump Really End Birthright Citizenship?
The conservative legal movement is on a mission to upend the 14th Amendment.
We talk about what could happen if Trump manages to wipe out birthright citizenship and how, even though people have declared ain’t no way no how he can’t upend more than a century of precedent, his cronies on the Supreme Court may help him do just that. rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/12/12/c...

Just heard Pete Davidson and another man on a podcast say they disliked some past partners so much, they refused to let them go bc they didn’t want them to find someone who actually liked them and would treat them right. Also, they weren’t done extracting value from them. So, yeah

Il y a 39 ans, Malik Oussekine et Abdel Benyahia étaient tués parce que maghrébins par la police.

Treize Allemands de l'Est furent abattus entre 1980 et 1989 en tentant de franchir le Mur de Berlin. Chacun d'eux fit la Une des journaux.
Quarante-quatre Palestiniens ont été tués ces deux dernières années en tentant de sauter le Mur de Cisjordanie, et ça n'a même jamais fait une brève.

Je refais un post un peu moins "à l'arrache".
Partagez la cagnotte de la famille de Hani s'il vous plaît. La situation est plus que critique (cf post cité).
Par ailleurs, il y a une personne gravement malade parmi eux qui ne peut pas se soigner
Merci pour votre aide!

Morning, bitches!
Remember, the most sane response to the horrific illusion that they have the gall to call a "career" in the modern world is to completely disengage from it and do the things that make you happy.
Do what you love and don't hurt people.
That's it. That's happiness.

C'était mes premières manifs. Souvenir de la panique ressentie devant les voltigeurs, cette brigade de flics à moto, deux par bécane, l'un qui tient le guidon et l'autre la matraque. Ce sont eux qui ont tué Malik Oussekine, eux aussi qui ont servi de modèle aux brutasses de la BRAV-M créée en 2019.

Wow, that’s a pretty big point of disagreement, NPR. Maybe someone could investigate which point of view is correct and report on the truth of the matter. Do you know anyone who does that sort of thing?

France has never been the free cultural space he claims. It has tracked anti-colonial thinkers, banned Arab rappers, expelled foreign artists and detained activists over slogans. Political expression is always filtered through state interests and fear of harming diplomatic ties.

This is a quote from the article summing up both studies in Technology Review: "A multi-university team of researchers has found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging both Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. The chatbots swayed opinions by citing facts and evidence, but they were not always accurate—in fact, the researchers found, the most persuasive models said the most untrue things."
Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...
