I wish more people understood the utter power, in any system with institutional inertia, of the magic words, "Fuck you, make me."

Canadian BDS activists just won a historic victory: Scotiabank, once the largest foreign shareholder in Israel’s biggest weapons manufacturer, has dropped all its shares in Elbit Systems. @desaima.bsky.social and Harrison Samphir report on the years-long pressure campaign that led to divestment.

registering as a republican so my political concerns will be addressed by democrats

Someone (Not Me) Has Fucked Up Here: vol. 4 of epic fantasy masterwork The Toynbiad

"a little trans bashing" is explicitly catering to the extremists, and it fails because anyone who could be swayed by bigotry is just gonna vote Republican anyway

clearly it's the left's fault that dems wanted to murder arabs so badly that they handed the country over to nazis rather than stop

american liberals dont want to win elections. they lose, call everyone who didnt vote for Dems stupid, call half the people who DID stupid, change nothing, run it back. it's important that such "stupid people" NOT vote for Dems, so that voting for Dems can continue to be an Educated, Elite position

it is off-putting, of course, but rather than frightening this kind of hate always strikes me as deeply pathetic. saying vile shit for the racists as they clap like seals, who gives a shit.

The workers saw how their united struggle forced the abandonment of hypocritical police lies…They understood who was their real foe when they, who were not violating law and order, had the troops and police sent against them, just as though they were the country’s enemies.

"We should consider the possibility" no they should consider the possibility of eating shit

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

calling people cowards for refusing to shop while under armed occupation when you think about it, the bravest thing you could possibly do is NOT inconvenience your betters in any way

Shitlibs are now whining about the left bullying Will as if the man hasn't gone out of his way to screencap multiple leftists - myself included - over the last few days to try and get us dogpiled. Will Stancil *is* the bully. He's just really, really fucking bad at it.

america really is the main character of the world, but in the twitter way

note: this is why people react to defending this and previous admins' deportations with "they were criminals!" with disgust. Being a criminal is not damning when that crime is "existing"

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is

Openly bragging about implementing Poilievre's agenda for him is not the PR tactic i'd go for, personally

Unreal headline, just so bloodlessly shamelessly representative of our current era - one of remarkably brutal discompassion - really living up the moment here, morally. A+

This came in the same budget that axed a luxury tax on yachts. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

For the folks in the back: OCR predates LLMs. HTR software predates LLMs. Digital Humanities predates LLMs. Grammar and spell checkers predate LLMs. YOU DO NOT NEED THE PLAGIARISM MACHINES.

Everything the Trump admin(inc. ICE) does revolves around a single question: What're you gonna do about it? We can ignore laws. We can kidnap & kill citizens. We can kidnap foreign leaders. Who's gonna stop us? What're you gonna do about it? This works right up until that question gets answered.

You see Chuck Schumer is actually playing 4d chess and not caving immediately like he has done every single time for his entire life. come on

"Carney has learned absolutely no lessons of the last three decades about how a more inclusive economy ends up being stronger and more resilient," writes @journodale.bsky.social

please, we must get a piece of this company that doesn’t have a hope in hell of making any money

because they were just so eager to speak out before

“they wear masks because they’re cowards, because they know that when we find out who they are and where they live they don’t get to play soldier anymore”

Today’s assault and murder makes me even more angry at all the “don’t take the bait let’s turn the temperature down” rhetoric from state leaders. We can’t just let them murder people like this

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

For being so anti-communist, you apparently want to be publicly owned real bad.

i know it's been said many times but he is such a capital L Loser

Evergreen.

what he wants is for everyone to shut up and sit down and be nice to the nazis like i'm not sure why people keep operating under the idea that trump must have some kind of justification to drop the hammer. he doesn't care! he'll do it anyway!

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States. It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.

If you have ever had to bring abusers to “justice”, you know there is no bottom for them. They will sacrifice all dignity before even admitting guilt. Call it like you see it and don’t stop yelling. I know this shit is ptsd hell, and sending you all consensual hugs and responsible coping skills.

NATO proxy war going extremely well, according to NATO come on

The sudden focus on "kitchen table issues" is so cynical it reminds me of Clinton's old "Sure we could reign in the banks, but would that end racism??" canard. Even after losing to Trump twice the DNC still gives the same idiot consultants free reign.

Look you guys need to stop talking about whether or not Venezuela is happening “to get the oil”. You just have to stop. He said it. He keeps saying it. It’s for the oil. Now whether or not that oil is viable or profitable is beside the point. He doesn’t care. He’s doing this for the oil.

"what are we a bunch of Russians" etc

The attack on Venezuela is simply standard US "intervention" with the mask stripped off to reveal the howling void of greed under it. This doesn't make it less bad or horrifying, but I keep seeing people act like this is unprecedented and like, have you met the USA before

www.politico.com/news/magazin... I never would have guessed

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

can't really think of a better example of how the US ruling class sees the rest of the world. Trump is saying the quiet part out loud but these ghouls are all like this

historically, yes absolutely this is how empires always end up

i am begging the people calling the cia kidnapping a foreign leader purely out of a petty grudge for not being couped a "distraction" to pull their heads out of their ass

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

"Democracy" aka "if it's not the leader the US wants we kill them"
