Necropolitics is the official policy of this administration in every way

RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

In the late stages of Twitter I learned what necropolitics is

Turns out the CIA is operating as normal even after we stopped giving people food and medicine.

I discovered by accident that they like different sizes and will sort themselves that way ❤️

This is so real

And just to be clear I want Ossoff to win. I just think he calculatedly turned down the progressivism when he moved from candidate Ossoff to Senator Ossoff and that I do not like at all

UBI is worth doing REGARDLESS of the degree of unemployment that AI may cause. Productivity growth stopped being widely shared via wages in the 1970s. For 50 years, the fruits of our collective labor have concentrated at the top. Only UBI can directly distribute those fruits equally to ALL.

Trump says ‘violent day’ of policing will end crime The remarks at a campaign rally Sunday did not amount to a policy proposal allowing police retaliation, the former president’s campaign said.

And just to be clear this is what Trump was saying when he was racking up police endorsements www.politico.com/news/2024/09...

Kamala Harris was a former prosecutor and Attorney General, she had a Sheriff featured as a convention speaker. Every major police union endorsed Donald Trump.

The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3

It’s in keeping with the basic idea of the original Colorado River Compact, which was to manage the basin’s water through some negotiation and compromise, rather than strictly following the letter of the law. But the legal foundation of prior appropriation hamstrings negotiations at every turn. Farmers account for the overwhelming majority of Colorado water use—almost a third goes to cattle feed alone—and thanks to how the system was initially designed, their prices are absurdly subsidized. One recent study found that while municipal districts pay an average of $512.01 per acre-foot, agricultural irrigation districts paid an average of $30.32 per acre-foot. Fully a quarter of all Colorado water diversions, all to farmers, cost nothing at all. Such a subsidy is difficult to unwind.
