Common mistake, murder is a crime in most cases but it's fine as long as you're wearing the right flag

I wish the U.S. was a small country without airport that we could mute forever, instead of a nuclear power with 2000 military bases around the world that we can absolutely not afford to ignore because the dumber they get the more harm they will cause

"I for one think Disney should shut up about politics and stick to buying the entire world's entertainment industry"

If they had a vote today, would the backwards, poorly educated, plagued by deadly violence, barely industrialized aside from banking and movies, no healthcare except for rich people, apartheid dictator state USA ever get a seat in the United Nations?

"Inflation-weary shoppers." I worry there's a significant portion of liberal middle class people who actually don't comprehend the idea that you can not have enough money to buy food; who think "not having money" means needing to liquidate investments or taking loans at suboptimal rates.

The head of an independent United Nations commission that concludes Israel has committed genocide in Gaza argues that countries supplying weapons to Israel, like the United States, are also complicit.

"To the right [and Bluesky admin], Kirk’s death is an opportunity to discipline the country, to let people know that some people matter more than others. It’s about power, which is why they want people to be punished and fired for not at least pretending to be sad over Kirk’s death"

The way this should play out is people who have never heard of him ask what he's known for. And then they get to read/see a bunch of actual quotes from him. And then they think "and this is who the President has us lowering our flags for?" And perhaps these people realize some hard truths.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

Sure he called for stoning gay people and also killing foreigners who might think about stoning gay people, but he did it the "right way"

Paul Saunders rt if you agree

A new take on US imperialism: Go after healthy democracies that elect leaders you don't like and punish those you like.

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

What a perfect symbolic gesture. To have any "freedom" in today's world you have to be on the president's team. That gets you the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Anything less gets you legally discriminated, fired, deported and killed.

I remind you that Kirk was NOT an elected official or official of any kind. The fact that TACO made a statement about his death, while remaining silent about the assassination of Melissa Hortman speaks volumes. I also know of no protocol whatsoever to lower the United States flag for the

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

NEW: The anti-Trump protest happening right now on the streets of Washington DC is HUGE! It looks like tens of thousands have joined. This is the view from 16th Street - people stretching as far as the eye can see 👏

NRA, welcome to the resistance

If you're an author on the list of books stolen by Anthropic AI, fill out this form to be (I think) part of the class action suit.

Even fucking Donald Trump realizes Kennedy is nuts. Is he going to do anything about the raging eugenicist he picked to decimate his country's healthcare, though?

Fucked up that I, a member of the in group that the law must protect but not bind, am facing consequences merely for making violent threats against the out group, who the law must bind but not protect. It's like Northteen Eighty-Farm.

Fake rumors, unlike unfounded rumors, are actually well founded but Trump doesn't like what they say

NOW: Big protest going on outside the White House. Protestors are demanding release of Epstein files and the end of the National Guard deployment in D.C. This is some visual. (📸 Status Coup News)

Fk yeah!! ❤️

I believe that bigots who feel the need to categorize people by our station of birth should be ashamed to open their mouths in public, but this is a luxury belief when you're one of the lesser beings yourself

For many Gen Z and millennial Americans, concerns about finances and the economy can feel ever present. NPR wants to know how economic barriers are affecting you and your political views.

Media outlets have staged a front page protest to highlight the killings of more than 200 journalists in 22 months.

He raped young girls and he's going to die without suffering any consequences for it whatsoever. This is the problem with great concentrations of wealth.

If someone who spent all his life making no distinction between fact and fiction but only cared about how he might get people to do what he wanted started thinking, when facing the end of his life, he could convince his body to be healthy by saying it, would that sound any different than this?

IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!

At the end of his life, the president expressed regret over his failure to negotiate peace in Ukraine, or whatever fuckup of the week held his attention at the time.

Fascinating, now the EU can agree Israel is committing atrocities, we're just divided about if they should stop.

Seems like this would be less of a problem if people kept their cats indoors, where they're not ecological disasters as well as a danger to themselves.

Bank robber warns that if he has to compensate EVERY person he stole from, it would financially ruin the bank robbery industry.

If Sam Altman had a soul, he would shut down OpenAI until he could make sure this never happened again. But he doesn't have one, and so he won't.

I've often asked white supremacists to point to any country that has improved its wealth and prosperity by closing its borders.

With the ancient #crypto wisdom of the Afrodruids you can build pyramidhenges of wealth. Truly the technology of the future here. Also yikes.

Still in Norway enjoying the fjords. Well done, Slartibartfast.

You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.

This is a very weird situation in that it's the first time since FDR the press has a visibly ill, probably dying President -- so the first time in the modern media model -- and they seem completely unequipped to report on it. (also "they like him and want him to rule us like a king" factor, yes)

Video shows a blanket knitted by Irish activists as a tribute to Palestinian children killed in Gaza. Each square of the blanket represents 10 of the nearly 19,000 children killed by Israeli forces in the besieged enclave.

Now I get his plan. Since no human being can match Trump in lies by volume, Vance has to establish his brand as the world's foremost unbelievable liar. They'll tell legends for hundreds of years about how every word out of his mouth was purposefully, laughably, self-evidently meaningless garbage.

NEW: In 40 cities across Australia, an estimated one million people have been on the streets calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza. These were the scenes in Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.

The Swedish Fascist Party protested for like 12 hours after the war started and then they figured out Ukraine was white enough for their purposes. It was the most pathetic display of double standards I've ever seen.

The "Epstein Files" are NOT lists he kept of the clients he "serviced." In point of fact, they are the sealed/redacted transcripts of testimony that the victims gave prosecutors at his trials. They named names; this list of names remains hidden from the public to this day. Important distinction.
