US Media Rushes to Manufacture Legal Legitimacy for Trump’s Venezuela Oil Tanker Piracy Venezuela oil exports are not “black market” and US sanctions are not “international sanctions.” Why does our media keep saying otherwise?

"US media simply accepts, without pushback or critical thinking of any kind, the US State Department’s premise that the US is the leader of the whole world and gets to unilaterally dictate what is and isn’t 'international law.'" www.columnblog.com/p/us-media-r...

Fundamentally a society can't last long if bad people are not afraid to do bad things. They should be afraid of doing bad things 👍

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves

Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars

Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

Literally anything to justify white people being racist in public 🙄

So apparently, in order to be pro workers rights, that means I have to tolerate being called a n..... by staff in stores while I'm shopping.

Fucking brilliant

They're literally telling you what their goals are in 4k and people STILL don't believe them

"Now, are there going to be instances of the correction overshooting? Absolutely,” said Padfield, the executive director of the Free Enterprise Project at the National Center for Public Policy Research"

And she has a mixed race child, apparently?

I want to know if the baby is okay, because what kind of home life does he have with a woman who screams anti black slurs anytime she gets upset??

Shocking that the child of a billionaire grifter with abusive and misogynistic tendencies is a fan of a millionaire grifter with abusive and misogynistic tendencies.

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Keep it going

Every time a rich person panicmongers about social welfare programs they describe the system as it currently exists for everyone in the country who is not them.

Few things are more exasperating than rich Americans claiming that something that works in most other countries on the planet cannot possibly be made to work.

= The WHITE HOUSE In one of the most profound and consequential acts of history, Mary heroically accepted God's will with trust and humility: "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." Mary's decision forever altered the course of humanity. Nine months later, God became man when Mary gave birth to a son, Jesus, who would go on to offer his life on the Cross for the redemption of sins and the salvation of the world.

ok it’s legitimately funny that they can’t even throw red meat to Catholics without falling into heresy

And strangely, internet censorship schemes give a free exemption to "YouTube Kids" where such slop will be uploaded.

Ohhh hmmm

You might be on to something there

Seems relevant and timely

I'm going back to bed

🇨🇦 If you are a Canadian who still wants to travel to the US, you may want to put that thought aside.
The US Thought Police want your social/personal history for the last five years.
If you have said anything against Felon 47 you might be banned or jailed.

This is the gop.

This is what republicans think makes america great

Deporting veterans. Kidnapping children. Shooting civilians. Anyone who isn't white deserves to be terrorized according to the gop.

Holy hell

It’s the Civil Rights act. They want to bring back segregation. Journalism will do almost nothing. There will be a few panels of mostly white people discussing how it affects them and how no one could have imagined this

Despite them purposely refusing to report diversity numbers to a Black woman

I know a lot of people insist pennywise made clowns scary to the public, but for me (and other Chicagoans of a certain age) clowns were already scary and pennywise was just confirmation bias that clowns are scary in Maine, too.

John Wayne gacy, prolific serial who targeted young men & boys in his stupid ass clown outfit

Now, admittedly I may have a bias because im from Chicago but this guy was one of my earliest understandings of clowns

You can't be alone with them, they do bad things to you and your body and you never really know who they are bc they have on makeup and they're always fucking smiling

Clowns are the exact fucking type of social peer pressure that pennywise thrives on. The same people who tell you it's just a clown or it's just a harmless joke so get over it are the exact same type of people who ignore when dozens of kids go missing every 20 years

It is a clown because clowns are terrifying uncanny valley ass shit

The'yre always smiling and doing jokes

Why are they always smiling?

Do you know how unnerving it is to be a child stuck next to a grown ass man who won't stop smiling and if you cry *you're* the problem?

What a terrible time to be a good person

Thats the beauty of 5 corporations running basically everything

Theyll never need to apologize because they kmow we have nowhere else to go

Theres a whole sub reddit about this.

Its mostly white men needing the push to just shave their heads because their hairlines are receding

99% of them look better after the shave.
