What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

In the story of Humpty Dumpty it is never said that he is an egg. However, it is never said that he is NOT an egg. This means that any character in ANY story could be an egg unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep that in mind when you read a Jack Reacher novel

Evan nails it here. Committing to being an independent journalist is a fundamentally hopeful position that we can build something new from billionaires’ scorched earth, having no idea if it will actually work.

I went through the mortifying ordeal of being known by video to show off finished copies of SEASONS OF GLASS AND IRON! Pre-order it wherever you get your books! Here are some places you can do that, though I’ll always recommend your local indie first. torpublishinggroup.com/seasons-of-g...

if a state (e.g. kansas) is denying people human rights, don't glibly tell them to leave the state, or the country. it is incredibly difficult to leave everything you knew behind because some piece of shit politicians decided you aren't human. everyone deserves equal rights, and you're annoying btw

Thanks, @markjacob.bsky.social. The basic question is this: If they're really winding down occupations like the one in Minneapolis, and if they're really moving to a more "targeted" approach, then why the need for vast new prison camps and a military arsenal rivaling those of small nations?

Keep demanding your electeds give them NOTHING in any budget deal. NO funding for ICE, and then start prosecuting everyone working for them. Abolish ICE.

Congressional Democrats should boycott the State of the Union and demand Trump release all of the evidence of allegations against him in the Epstein Files.

The DOJ’s cover-up of evidence Trump sexually abused minors should be an enormous scandal. Democrats can’t just act like normal.
