"Most White Americans' immigrant ancestors achieved their 'better life' through systematic, legalized slavery and genocide."

Is that so hard?

I think a huge part of America's problem is those descendants' refusal to incorporate reality into these patriotic bromides

Dem leaders really act like we don't know what real minority opposition looks like when they spent their whole time in the majority complaining that a minority GOP blocked the Dem agenda at every turn

The website is excellent, and there’s a film too.

β€˜I’m afraid to go home’: Canadian IDF soldiers fear fallout from war crimes probe Canada’s probe into the Israel-Hamas conflict doesn’t explicitly target Israelis, but its unclear scope has alarmed Jews amid rising international lawfare against soldiers

Didn't anyone tell the soldiers in the IDF that if they are complicit in war crimes they can be charged?
There is a lot of video evidence out there.
All those selfies are going to come back to bite.
Canadians who are complicit must be held accountable.

I looked more into this episode, and the majority of these participants are influencers. They are openly & brazenly racist, antisemitic etc.

They are using this to gain a mainstream audience by being boosted by both Jubilee and Zeteo. This is how the left often helps mainstream the far right.

ICE attempted to enter the home of a woman with her children in Huntington Beach. However, the entire community, police department, and city council intervened and forced them to leave.

it’s becoming increasingly obvious that there are many underlying mental health predispositions that make ChatGPT unsafe to use, and that more usage is more damagingβ€”which means the company’s business model depends on people using the product in a way that risks triggering mental health crises.

Ken Paxton is a massive piece of shit who worked with anti-abortion activists to find abusive men willing to sue over their ex’s abortions.

I guess that’s my way of saying: if Ken Paxton got you pregnant, hit me up at tips@abortioneveryday.com

I think a lot of people don't realize that court clerks can't refuse to process illegal lawsuits.

So if a landlord files an eviction against an undocumented tenant, or a disabled tenant, or a tenant with cancer, the tenant still has to get a lawyer and contest it, or they'll lose automatically.
