What’s happening in Sudan is pure horror beyond what any human mind can comprehend. It’s all documented, and the perpetrators are known!

Centrist Dems CAVE For a MAGA "Inshallah" That Will Never Happen

Who needs corrupt, cruel MAGA politicians when we have weak, centrist Democrats willing to cave for lobbyists and throw their own party and base under the bus?

I have no choice but to believe you if you tell me you can't tell the difference between the totenkopf and the Jolly Roger but if that's the case you should absolutely not be allowed to drive a car

Column | ChatGPT just came out with its own web browser. Use it with caution. OpenAI’s Atlas promises AI-powered convenience. The price? Letting ChatGPT track and store β€œmemories” of what you do online.

ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read β€” it remembers it.

@eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged β€œmemories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome.

I'm sorry but it's just plain hilarious that we're still expected to hate Hamas after spending two years being shown exactly what it is that Hamas has been fighting.

We all know that you voted to keep providing military aid to an ethnosupremacist apartheid state so that it could keep ethnically cleansing and genociding the native people. Stop trying to gaslight us. We see you.

The thing about all these fucking statements now from world leaders calling for the food to be let in to Gaza: you have the ability to impose sanctions on Israel and every second you spend talking instead of imposing them is a collaborationist lie.

Palestinians have been crying out to the world for 8 decades about exactly what we are seeing today.

- Ever since the first home was stolen.
- The first farm was burned.
- The first child was shot.

The goal was to ethnic cleanse the Palestinians from the start of the occupation project.

No, Mamdani won't enact a single anti-Jewish measure. I don't even know what those would be. But that's not the point. The point is that 400K of my neighbors don't care that he makes Jews feel unsafe. That's the real tragedy here.

this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

As a Jewish American, I want to make clear that I am disgusted by the Islamophobic attacks and false accusations of antisemitism against Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party nominee for mayor of New York.

This is absolutely fascism and it's great that you're paying attention to and being angered by what's been happening in our country for decades under both Republican and Democratic administrations.

That's a point of view that we've allowed ourselves to be convinced is an inescapable and immutable fact. I disagree. 3rd parties only have "no chance" until enough of us decide that we'll vote for them.
It's one of the last nonviolent solutions we have.

Yep. Like I said, been saying it for years. That's the reason why we have the 2nd Amendment. But liberals are convinced that our institutions and norms will protect us from the violence of the state. It's a dangerous delusion.

Fascism has been here, it's just finally worked it's way into impacting less marginalized demographics.

It's been sad to watch. I went all-in for him for 2016, & he had my support for 2020 until dropping out. I ended up voting for the Greens in both of those races. Sander's really tapped into an energy & voter base that's been ignored by the Dems. It's a shame that they continue to ignore us.

The previous admin was also exclusively composed of chodes. Chode domination of the Executiveβ€”and every other branchβ€”of the government has been a big problem for decades.
But it's nice that more people are paying attention.
