As many expected, the truth is finally coming out, they were just fishermen. The family of the Colombian man killed in the Sept. 15 U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea has now filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging

Let me get this straight: we trained this guy to be an elite killer, abandoned his country to the Taliban, isolated him, arbitrarily banned him from working and so left his family unsupported.

I don’t know if there’s any more efficient way of producing a mental health crisis outside of torture.

I’ve lived in the US my entire life.

We don’t DEAL with traitors, here.

We pretend they didn’t mean it.

1725: Why the fuck did I lose my left hand for the same wages I earned while being 10x more productive than last year? Who the fuck is benefiting here?

Hiding behind the fear of boys hurting girls is the fear that boys might become the kind of people who don't *want* to hurt girls

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

Yesterday, my great-grandpa passed away. He was 93 years old. Three years ago, I wrote an article about how his home garden in Auburn Gresham has fed my family over the years. With this piece, I hoped to cement my family's history in Chicago so that he and my great-granny live on forever. πŸ’•

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

The question voters should always ask:

Is someone ultimately working in service to others, or in service to themselves?

i think it's funny how MAGA could have probably run the economy hands off while inflation came down and growth came up and won Gen Z voters but instead are likely going to be associated with moving voters back to the social democratic/democratic socialist Left

Kyle Rittenhouse killed a man.

The liberal is obsessed with identifying rational psychological motives for absolute hatred that are not the hatred as such. they refuse to believe society is structured by hate. All hatred is a cynical performance for other cynics. No one *really* hates transsexuals.

Of course they do. Republicans who hate color revolutions understand them much better than leftists who share their opinion do, because Republicans understand that color revolutions imperil reactionary authoritarian regimes *like the one they are running*

The secret to early retirement; dine out rarely, fly economy and be a Google employee making $390,000/year married to a fellow Google employee 17 years older than you who likely makes twice as much as you.

Passage from a professor’s response:

Everyone has different ways in which they see the world, but in an academic course such as this you are being asked to support your ideas with empirical evidence and higher-level reasoning.
