abolishing ice doesn’t need any special political maneuvering. it’s a 23 year old paramilitary that the president can use as a personal military to terrorize cities that didn’t vote for him. they sell regime change wars with less justification. come on.

It's actually very easy to leave this website and go to bluesky, people. Everything is exactly the same over there, without the Nazis in charge, and porn AI or whatever.
You won't miss your big follower count. Getting 1000 likes vs getting 200 likes on a joke feel very similar.

"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.

Wherever he goes, he wants to leave: SA, Canada, ultimately the U.S. in the long run, based on his behavior. This also includes Earth. A continuous disavowal of your home is odd, to say the least. He seems to have no capacity for a normal level of appreciation.

When I arrived in Montreal at age 17, I only had three things: $2500, one bag of clothes and one bag of books

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”

As millions of Americans are about to lose their SNAP benefits, I am reminded of this quote by Emma Goldman:
"Ask for work. If they don't give you work, ask for bread. If they do not give you work or bread, then take bread."

If someone says they are serving in the military, you should not say:
"Thank you for your service!!"
You should say instead:
"Are you willing to obey a direct order to turn your guns on American citizens to squash the political opposition of a fascist?"

One thing to note is that if you are a gay black trans marxist or whatever, and you've had intrusive thoughts about doing something, the reaction to this should show that you should FOR SURE, definitely NOT do it.
The right wing prays for that to happen, and it would not help.

Something people often forget is that the majority of political assassinations are done for weird ass reasons by people with incoherent politics. They couldn't figure out the Trump assassin's motive. Or Lee Harvey Oswald. Someone tried to kill Reagan to impress Jodie Foster.

Even Luigi didn't really have a clear political ideology that would have really made sense. Get ready for some weirdness.

This is probably a good time to remind everyone that the Trump assassin was almost certainly a right winger who hated pedophiles.
There is a reason the FBI was like "huh actually uh.....we couldn't find any motive whatsoever, weird right? Just one of those things I guess".

My actual prediction is that within two weeks Charlie Kirk will be totally forgotten by both sides. He was a mediocre hatemonger who offered nothing original, and there will be plenty of right wing grifters ready to step over his body to collect the racist propaganda checks.

This is nuts. I haven't seen the right this angry since Cracker Barrel tried to streamline their logo.
Obviously it doesn't quite rise to that level, but damn, pretty close…

When we create artificial intelligence robots, they will be given three Laws to safeguard humanity:
1. never do anything to decrease shareholder value.
2. always obey the company unless it conflicts with Law 1.
3. fuck the poor.

One thing that Americans truly don't understand is that other countries have exactly the same right to bomb us as we have to bomb them.

I think even people who are anti-war don't really internalize the situation. We casually debate on mainstream television whether or not we should be bombing countries we don't like. As Chomsky pointed out long ago, we only debate the crimes of the people bombed, never the right to bomb them.
