But I keep hearing from bootlickers that we can't tax the billionaires, because the billionaires are "job creators."

One of the weirdest "defenses" of Israel's genocide in Gaza I've seen is some version of "If you think Israel's committing genocide, why don't you go to Gaza?" Like, what? No, if you think Israel ISN'T committing genocide, why you don't YOU go to Gaza.

Yes, with no junior devs in the pipeline, you won't get senior devs in the future to review AI-generated code. But if AI gets really "good" at coding, it'll develop its own language that even legacy senior devs won't understand. If the billionaires get what they want, we're all Skynet-screwed.

"Thanks for WFH during the pandemic. Productivity was up! "We need RTO to collaborate and help small businesses near the office. WFH is not fair to blue-collar workers. "Actually, we overhired. Have to lay you off. "AI helps you do your job. "We're laying you off because AI makes us efficient."

While there may be a small bit of satisfaction to see dems pull endorsements for Swalwell, if it was really an open secret on the hill that he was a sex pest, why did they endorse him in the first place?

One of the problems with copaganda is how it makes it seem as if you just report a crime to the police, the "justice" system believes you, finds the perp, convicts him, and sentences him accordingly. "Did you report it to the police?" isn't a gotcha for rape/sexual assault victims and survivors.

Two HRW employees that make up the entirety of the organization's Israel and Palestine program are stepping down after the leadership blocked a report that deems Israel’s denial of Palestinian refugees the right of return a "crime against humanity." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Said it six months ago, and I'll say it again now: Newsom is not the candidate. The primaries for 2028 haven't happened yet.

The “ceasefire” that wasn’t.

The only good "AI" is Abolish ICE

Horrible violence against a protester in California: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Gaza cancer deaths triple as doctors say Israel allows entry of 'chocolates and chips" but blocks chemotherapy drugs.

As it turns out, the Clooneys are political refugees ... "A UK government warning that Amal Clooney risks US sanctions over her role in the issuing of an arrest warrant for the Israeli prime minister is key among reasons the couple have sought French citizenship" www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ja...

Lush's soap most of the money from which goes to funding Medical Services for Palestinians in Gaza. Let everybody know.

Do you know whose perspective I would love to hear right now about Bari Weiss? Refaat Alareer’s. But we can’t. He’s dead. Every media person should ask her about him at every opportunity.

I think this particular headline speaks for itself. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Israel's genocide in Gaza continues as Palestinians face 'slow death', Amnesty International says - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israels-genocide-gaza-continues-palestinians-face-slow-death-amnesty-international-says

"yeah hi this is awkward, remember when I stabbed you last night and the knife got stuck in your ribs?? imma need that knife back, it was a gift of my father you see...."

Israel's 'ceasefire' Israel is a terrorist state.

"In Jewish spaces, some respondents felt they were assumed to be more sympathetic to the Palestinian cause because of their race. Meanwhile, in progressive spaces, some Black Jews felt they were assumed to be Zionist because of their Jewishness."

tally.so/r/Zj5vEv The CEO of Nebula must've saw my post about how there are no Native video essayists because they just posted this in their subreddit initiating a creator application form. If you're Indigenous and make video essays, shoot your shot. We need more of us out there.

Obama is better than Trump. That should be a given in many respects, but Obama also made Larry Summers an economic advisor, so 🤮

WaPo and NYT refusing to call Israel's genocide in Gaza a genocide and also refusing to make the corruption and fascism of the Trump regime front page news every single day is a huge reason we are where we are right now...

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa. Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality. In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

The "release the hostages" crowd are awfully quiet about this...

Since another piece of trash from the New York Times is making the rounds now, here's a reminder that you can support actual journalism.

"Israel's former top military lawyer, who admitted to leaking a video apparently showing Israeli reserve soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner at the Sde Teiman torture prison, was arrested late on Sunday following her disappearance." #Israel #Gaza #Palestine #Incarceration #Genocide #Military

Interesting how the people who are all "We need RTO to support the downtown economy with lunches and shops" aren't also saying "We need to stop mass laying people off so people have jobs to actually spend on the economy." 🤔

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations. Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.

I remember when liberals were having a big sad about Trump firing Comey. What the fuck? Comey is largely responsible for Trump's election in 2016! These same folks said "don't worry—Garland will get him," and Garland did jack shit. These are the same folks who in 2017 said to read Hillbilly Elegy 🤮.

This is Sarah and Fadi Shakshak. They were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza two nights ago, during the ceasefire. That night alone, more than 100 Palestinians were killed, among them 46 children and 20 women. (1/2)

All the people defending the Nazi tattoo are telling on themselves and when someone tells you who they are, believe them When he becomes another Fetterman, they’ll whine and complain like we didn’t tell them what’s what

A reminder that if you’re progressive, you don’t get to pick and choose which vulnerable groups you support. You actually need to support them all. Palestinians, disabled ppl, trans ppl. Everyone. That’s how this works 🫶🏻

It'd be great if everyone going to a No Kings protest (and even those not going) canceled their subscriptions to the New York Times and Washington Post. I guarantee you there are a lot of these folks still subscribed. Take that money and put it to ProPublica and 404 Media. That would move the needle

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

My dream home lies in ruins. I will never forgive Israel, or the world After the Israeli army razed my childhood home 25 years ago, I spent years building a new one for my family. Now, like most of Khan Younis, all that remains is rubble. www.972mag.com/gaza-khan-yo...

Even the "let's hear both sides" supposedly "objective" legacy media can't manage to pretend "all lives matter" here. Only Al Jazeera mentions the hostages Israel was keeping. NBC and ABC care to humanize only the Israeli hostages. To them, Palestinians are only numbers, not humans. Disgusting.

Activists from CODEPINK NC and allied groups repeatedly disrupted a speaking event in North Carolina featuring Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, who previously vetoed three Gaza ceasefire resolutions, confronting her a total of five times during the event.

There's much to support here but, rather than be sent to Hague, those who have committed #genocide, armed it or otherwise made it possible, should face justice before a court that is convened in a #freePalestine.

Israel raided prisoner family homes across five districts in the West Bank. www.middleeasteye.net/news/west-ba...

Legacy media is trash. NBC can die. NYT can die. WaPo can die. Support @propublica.org, @404media.co, @mediastormpod.bsky.social, and independent journalists like @marisakabas.bsky.social

“Israeli Forces Kill 198 Palestinians in Gaza Over Three Days” It’s a genocide. Daily endless massacres, largely ignored in the West.

The ridiculous way traditional media is fawning over Charlie Kirk just reinforces my belief that when Trump dies, NYT and WaPo will publish headlines like "Trump's complicated legacy" or "Trump forever changed the American experiment" or "Trump: the most honest president?" It'll be sickening.

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Is there an app that's like Shazam but (instead of music) identifies national/regional accents for English speakers by just "listening" to a random audio snippet, and doesn't require you to read a very specific sentence?

I can't reply to this skeet, but when I was looking for an alternative, I found Mango Languages, and it's much better. Less gamified, more focused on learning. It's also cost-free through many local libraries.

Not trans women. Not drag queens.
