Did they use AI for that US map. You would think locating Seattle correctly would be the most important part of that map

Between this and that Kamala Harris clip with Jon Stewart, it’s a good era for watching the light leave interviewers’ eyes as Democratic Party figureheads spout the most unhelpful passionless gibberish during a time of crisis

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more

that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

Pretty sure he doesn't physically change but his voice gets deeper and he becomes good at yugioh

got plenty of time

The US on December 7, 1941

A van sits on a lonely mountain peak about four thousand feet above the floor of the desert, at sunset.

This is what it looks like from top of that tallest mountain peak in the distance (six months later).

MR. LEADSLINGER @Lead _Flinger X.com When I go to the store and see them advertising big tubs of chocolate chip cookies as EBT eligible it makes me not care about it getting shut down.

while genocidal freaks like this complain about poor people eating cookies, you might need a little reminder of who the number 1 recipients of government welfare are: THE WEALTHY, through billions of dollars in government subsidies, bailouts, loans, and tax breaks. all at the public’s expense.

Yale lab reports mass killings in Sudan, calls for student activism The Humanitarian Research Lab was told this week that over 10,000 people in Sudan were killed within three days.

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

Allow me to summarize:
1. 5 IDF soldiers caught sexually molesting a Palestinian prisoner.
2. IDF files charges.
3. IDF AG faces enormous pressure from government to drop charges. Mob storms base where it happened.
4. IDF AG leaks video documenting the molestation.

Judge Skeptical Over Trump Administration Decision to Suspend Food Stamps

Just so we're clear: This administration's blatant, unapologetic choice to deny food to 42 million people—to have the money sitting there and say, "No, we'll let them go hungry"—is simply a more overt display of why homelessness and poverty keep worsening in this country.

Because it's *decided.*

Pls report your findings

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Jewish people constituted 0.75% of the German population in 1933.

the US & Israel’s bloodthirsty genocide is being used as a blueprint by fascists abroad to carry out their genocides. just as the Nazis looked at the US treatment of black slaves & indigenous as inspiration for their holocaust, US brutality continues to inspire & breed fascism across the globe.

I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it.

All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.

for the record, the government allowing people to go without SNAP benefits is social murder

Mills exposes the weakness of the Dems that hold power. Old and stuck in their ways

immediately after the hostages were handed over to Israel, Ben Gvir said this. of course the establishment media class didn’t cover it. of course world leaders did nothing. because they STILL don’t see Palestinians as ppl even when US/Israeli fascism threatens the world just as the Nazis did.

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

"Andy Ngo and other far right extremists have been targeting Avalos since at least as early as July and trying to paint her as violent and a 'member of Antifa.' On court record, Ngo has admitted that his social media posts can lead to violence."

It's projection from the right. All the way down.
