Having lived in a colonial nation for four or seven generations does not, in fact, make you indigenous.

Weird how seemingly everyone in and around power has some kind of investing connection to Epstein, I'm sure it's just a coincidence

The "agentic" in "agentic AI" refers to the agency the "AI" providers want to take from you.

Is it good when mega-El Nino and fertilizer supply shock?

Marcus Arelius would just stab these dweebs

What a good looking pair

Palantir used to have affinity groups and DEI as late as 2022, and I had the logos saved on my phone because they pissed me off so much and of course they buried those pages. But I never forgot.

If you see this, post something orange from your gallery.

so convenient for empire that Jesus and the ancient Hebrews were supposedly “Western”

“At least nine immigrants have died of presumed suicides since President Donald Trump assumed office in January 2025. Since then, at least 49 people have died overall in ICE custody, according to a Miami Herald analysis of press releases, death reports, autopsies, and government documents.”

white Americans have a tendency of attempting to indigenize themselves

Meenu Batra is the only Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu court interpreter in Texas. She had spent most of her life in Texas, working and raising her kids. ICE detained her despite having humanitarian protection.

I don’t care for the use of ‘vultures’ in political rhetoric, because vultures are ecologically awesome

nonzero chance the FBI is plugging LLMs into wiretap data under the legal theory AI alone can’t implicate 4th amendment concerns (semi-known 702 issue). or the NSA has now hard coded wiretaps across all newly built US data centers due to expanded ECSP scope. or probably both.

the Trump regime basically doing war crimes by aerial bombardment as a market manipulation strategy

Woke 2: Rise of the Machines

Bluesky has announced a sudden, bizarre pivot into the sustainable footwear market, sending their share price rocketing up by over 700%

How is “viewpoint diversity” not just affirmative action for people with bad ideas

Respect to the stegosaurus heads, but this checks out.

We need this energy. Nothing less than completing Reconstruction.

The press treating JD Vance like he’s a whiz kid negotiator is insane. He’s the most unqualified VP in modern American history. Him negotiating with Iran at all is a complete joke. He’s basically a podcaster who got to play pretend as an astroturfed senator for 2 years, a job he barely showed up to.

Something about fascism being the aestheticization of politics

BEIRUT (AP) - Israeli strikes hit several dense commercial and residential areas in central Beirut Wednesday afternoon without warning, hours after a ceasefire was announced in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. @apnews.com

Potential spam musubi

it's the Caracas Delusion all over again the incredible operational skill of the US military when given an achievable goal (rescuing pilots, kidnapping a possibly coup'd head of state) leads the US government to assign them unachievable goals @gbrew24.bsky.social x.com/i/status/204...

I’m for working class solidarity but honestly the false consciousness seems insurmountable because it’s constantly cultivated by capital, like a golf course in the desert

it’s not surprising exactly but it is still shocking just how fast we’ve moved from “woke was excessive” framing to open and explicit white male supremacy

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

may this be the beginning of something

Trump: “On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed him with praise honouring him as king. They call me king now. Can you believe it?”

Trump: “I think Christians like Israel more than Jewish people like Israel.”

Look at this. This wallet has just put an $800,000 bet on boots on the ground in Iran. They previously were right about the time US struck Iran first. Unusual.

And in horrifying news, Idaho's governor has signed the felony bathroom ban, with 5 year penalties for second offense bathroom usage, into law. This is the most significant criminalization of trans people to date. On trans day of visibility no less. It will require a new "Do not travel" warning.

It’s a bit relaxing to accept that we are absolutely cooked as a social and political system

Good God. Jan 6 rioter pardoned by Trump sentenced to four years for possessing more than 100,000 child sexual abuse images and videos discovered in connection with his Capitol riot case. The details are horrific, and he claimed this was covered by the pardon. 1/2 www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

One of the lessons from Vietnam is that when they start bombarding you with numbers like these -- ordinance used, targets struck, so many killed and wounded -- there's more we're not being told.

the market is a tweaker

Israel abolished the death penalty for ordinary crimes in 1954. Today they voted to bring it back — exclusively for Palestinians.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

if you thought China was going to be the big economic loser from our Iran War -- since CHina purchases so much Iranian oil -- think again. Goldman Sachs thinks China will take half the hit to GDP growth we will, thanks in part to the country's massive investments in renewables + big oil reserves

seeing a significant uptick in reactionary content featuring young women on the slop feed called IG reels

I am so goddamn tired of white people pretending not to understand the state sponsored system of repression in which we continue to live. My loves, 2020 *just* happened & we all, with our eyes, saw cops kick the shit out of everyone w/o consequence. Please. It’s preposterous behavior.

"did you know the USPS is losing money" no I didn't know and I still don't care do you know how much money your president has lost you since January

gushing neck shot (based on a true story)

I guess I sort of accept that we’ve been losing, we are losing, we will lose, and yet we struggle and we critique.

I maintain that No Kings is a release valve funded by billionaires that has zero substantive demands and I find it insane how even some scholars of authoritarianism are not willing to point this out.

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...
