They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Everything is getting stupider

Pretty much.

I believe it was called a while ago: CoDominium - Wikipedia share.google/Jg4D1JTXvohy...

“…Even if they are able to clean up his mess … elect a supremely sane president next, America will NEVER again be a trusted partner. Because there are enough Americans who would vote for him … (again). I couldn't even say anything. She was right. The damage this has done is endless…”

We are so screwed.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the oligarchs, backed by the scum in the Kremlin and the White House, want to carve up Europe between the USA and Russia.

The United States gives far too much power, money, and influence to silly people with heads full of nonsense.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed. Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it. When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Genuinely, my little scientist heart cracks open daily here. Such beauty and wonder. Lava fields? ✅ Northern lights? ✅ Heavenly bodies? ✅ Whimsy and joy? ✅ #iceland #northernlights #aurora

It’s literally impossible to support Donald Trump without being an anti-American traitor and terrible racist 🇺🇸

Exactly this.

Insanity.

I’m from the generation that remembers when these diseases ran rampant. Perhaps we need to be reminded with a dose of repeated history

We should be terrified.

Still, the Ukrainian army is holding the lines. For now. But they are bending. Since November 1, Russia has captured around 505 square kilometers according to the Ukrainian analysis group DeepState - nearly twice as much as in October. Putin’s

“Gamers aren’t buying games anymore.” says the triple A gaming studios who have started using AI, cut corners and various amounts of writers and illustrators who made their releases worth playing, and are just reusing and repackaging past titles… 🙄

Crazy scary stupid times.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high. This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

This is insanity, and the Republicans know it. Republicans can and should join Democrats to impeach, convict and remove Trump and his entire administration to save our country and the world from this madman. @ec.europa.eu #Insanity

A US Citizen.

The most depressing lesson of the Trump era is that scandals don’t matter if the perpetrator and their supporters don’t feel shame. Shamelessness is now a political superpower.

Not in any meaningful way.

100% THIS!!!!

A thousand Epstein victims; likely thousands of ppl who have info about his crimes. Not to mention the 1000 ppl who reviewed and redacted files. Then there are those who knew of his financial ties. No real leaks? Make it make sense! If someone is just sitting on info to put in a bestseller-FY

This is BS.

Of course they lied.

First Trump claimed his attacks on immigrants were targeting "illegals." Now people who followed the rules are being denied US citizenship. First Trump told Europe to pay more for defense. Now his National Security Strategy is bashing Europe for not being white enough. The common thread: racism.

When it comes to uploading people into computers and/or androids, how do you know "you" made it? How do you copy a "soul"? Even if you do not believe in souls, how do you know if it is "your" consciousness? If it's just your memories, it would at best just be a good copy of you. You'd still be gone.

There are reports of explosions and Israeli artillery fire around Gaza City, including airstrikes near the Maghazi refugee camp.

The open disregard for judicial decisions and orders is being normalized more every day

Each day, we learn of Israel’s theft of yet another slice of Palestine. Piece by piece, acre by acre, the Palestinian nation has been seized by Israeli offensive forces and carved up by Zionist colonizers in contravention of all treaties, accords, “peace” agreements and the like.

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism? Odd that.

Exactly.
