Me: "Hey, maybe telling Jews that their Zionist family members in Israel - even those who hate the Israeli government - are Nazis, is not the way to convince wavering Jews that they can give up on Zionism and still be safe."
Half the people on here: "Oh, so you're saying you're a Zionist?"
The corruption of the US Supreme Court has arguably been the most serious single contributor to the US's transformation into autocracy
They were so antsy to commit mass murder that they tried to massacre every Jewish community they came across on the way. And then they did the same to more or less everyone they could in Palestine.
When they read “Crusades,” too many people think “cool knight” and not enough people think “antisemitic and islamophobic mass murder.”
This is called 'desensitisation'.
Send the National Guard to achieve nothing. Let Democrats exhaust themselves complaining. Say "Look at them complain about a crackdown on crime."
The next step will be sending in the National Guard to 'secure the elections'.
BREAKING: Kemp will NOT run for senate, making it easier for Ossoff. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/u...
Just got off the phone with Mrs Sicknick and just more slaps in the face with this settlement. She asked "why did my son die" (in response to all the whitewashing that is being done about January 6th) if it was a day of love, why is my son dead"
Total miscarriage of justice
At #INSAR2025, Alison Singer of @autismsciencefd.bsky.social publicly praised RFK Jr. for "shining a bright light" on high support autistics.
No. RFK Jr. is going to wreak destruction in the lives of autistic people and families. We either oppose him wholly, or we will all suffer the consequences.
What is *wrong* with all these people named Singer? Alison, Peter, Judy...
“We know how bad it can get, & we refuse to let it get that bad again. That’s why the disability rights movement exists — to say that we are only going to move forward. We refuse to turn back the clock.” Ari Ne’eman on the US administration’s attack on disabled people.

No, you frog-throatted, leather-faced, worm-brained moron.Young adults are forgoing parenthood because of high costs, and women dying due to lack of lifesaving healthcare.
The only people with any confidence in Donald Trump‘s handling of the economy are his hard-core base. When he starts falling into the 30s, which I expect soon, it will be more telling of the feeling that his supporters will not admit publicly.

"ICE can declare any Venezuelan an "Alien Enemy" without ANY concrete evidence."

So, that’s actually not allowed…The Constitution isn’t optional, sir. This isn’t a reality show — it’s reality. Two terms, that’s it.
My theory on why Trump is choosing THIS order to defy is 1) someone at White House made the decision [cough, Stephen Miller] w/o properly vetting it, and now DOJ has to dig in and 2) like suspected fuck-ups at USAID, if they back down it'll reveal just how incompetent they really are.
"California legislators have begun debating a bill (A.B. 412) that would require AI developers to track & disclose every registered copyrighted work used in AI training...it’s an impossible standard that could crush small AI startups & developers...."
Trash take.

Whether you're a small restaurant or not you have to ensure that you're not stealing your ingredients. So why is this any different?
What about the 1-2 person creative startups? Who is protecting their works in a society that devalues artists so much that "starving artist" is an expectation?
The idea that you shouldn't be expected to know what data you're using to train your systems and that doing so is "an impossible task" is so normalized that its hard to know that this was not always the case even in the field of AI.
Data theft and scraping became completely normalized, along with the exploitation of crowdworkers, with the advent of photo sharing and other platforms and others like amazon mechanical turk.
So now NOT exploiting people and stealing data is the anomaly.
Another thing that gives me hope today: we still have some truly excellent journalism, even if it’s not always from the legacy sources you’d expect!

Article II of the office that Stephen Miller’s boss took an oath to also have something "Judicial Review." You can’t accept all the other stuff and decide "nah, I don’t like that part."
if people being transported across long distances without their consent via private prisoner transport bothers you, look into what that industry has been doing the past two decades.
not a new phenomenon at all. it’s just evolving and maturing.

The leopards he let loose are fixing to eat his face, and ours all.

“I never thought the leopards would eat MY face,” says the man who gave the leopards absolute immunity from criminal prosecution.
And encourage people who do want to move from expensive blue state cities, to move to purple rather than red states. Michigan, for example, whose housing costs are about 50% of expensive coastal cities'.
