I’m so sick of once respected #techbros kissing ass & bending the knee to #trump. Just to ensure government sales and continued profits. To wit: Michael Dell courted Trump early. His company has reaped rewards…🩸on his hands, from my pov. I’m old enough to have worked in the #tech industry back […]

"Globally, at the end of 2025, global strategic oil stockpiles were estimated at 2.5 billion barrels, with China holding the most."<--Trump is furiously selling off America's strategic oil to cover up the disastrous consequences of his dumb warfare.

[War and violence] It's oftentimes easy to forget in a peaceful and wealthy place like the USA that all the people in war torn countries are just like you. They were just chilling in their apartments or homes when some drone flew in and blew up their building and killed their families […]

This about nails the whole MAGA/Trump ethos: Nazi-like fuckery and obedient bootlicking under an insane despot, groper, grifter, rapist and child molester. Still one of Doug Ford's heroes, btw, (Ontario) Canadian friends, not that you need me to tell you that after our drug dealer premier's […]

No good can come of this.

Again, imagine the Palestinian experience. Oct 7 was not a stroke out of the blue. Which observation has to do with cause, not with justification. When state policy is to treat people like animals and 'vermin', it fuels a cycle […]
