The UK (an already very tiny country) is in serious danger of breaking up into three separate countries. Something utterly unthinkable a little over a decade ago.

I understand the disillusionment with current 20th Century spiritual systems, but I find the desire to go back to “The Old Gods,” illogical and kind of lame. Why not have New Gods? Why Old Gods? To quote Steppenwolf in Justice League, “The old gods died.”

Robust social welfare programs, funded with tax dollars, running completely parallel to huge private corporations, are not even Communism. Communism is when all the means of production, in the entire country (i.e., those private corporations), are seized and controlled by the government. (1/2)

If it turns out Mitch McConnell is dead and the GOP are involved in a coverup to prevent a special election that is mandated by Kentucky law, people need to go to prison. Full stop.

China has billionaires. It also has a ZERO percent poverty rate (compared to the whopping 10% poverty rate of the USA). China is obviously not really all that Communist. And a certain amount of socialist policies obviously work. And, unlike Russia, China really hasn’t done anything to us.

It’s a good rule.

You want to wake up? All that is necessary. Is open your eyes.

What happens if it's impossible to carry out 2,000 arrests every single day while complying with the law? Which comes first? The quota? Or the law? www.cascadia-journal.com/ice-ramps-up...

America existed for 226 of its 250 years before ICE even existed. If you are a 23 year-old young adult, you are probably older than ICE. But we’re supposed to believe that we need this agency to exist in its present form?

The UK is so deeply f*cked, and it’s all the UK’s own fault.

Sam Altman is bad.

Red state prosecutor goes rogue as feds refuse to help him investigate ICE killing www.rawstory.com/texas-ice-26...

A picture of a recently passed, beloved pet is fine, if depressing. Filming your dog as they are being put to sleep? That's grossly indecent. Both to your poor dog, being exploited for likes at this juncture. And for all of us folk whose hearts you just broke. Not everything is content.

Here's another news story that will absolutely never be covered by mainstream media. When it comes to election fraud, it's always Republicans doing it.

Abolish ICE. Really.

The Democrats really need to change their priorities. Look at this! It’s like a perfectly inverted pyramid of current mainstream Democrat priorities.

Today, I declined another invitation to present my research at a fantastic American University because it is not safe to travel to the US for people like me. And mind you, I'm a pretty bourgeois professor.

Breaking: DHS is threatening FEMA funds unless election rules change. He is holding American citizens hostage.

My current top app desire is a No AI setting. I want to be able to tick something that says don't give me any results which use AI, don't offer me AI tools, don't replace search with AI prompting.

Factual reporting on actual crimes committed by Nixon are what brought down Nixon’s Presidency; NOT entertainment-style, so-called “journalism,” about Nixon’s personal pathologies. Our mainstream media has completely forgotten how to do real journalism.

Donald Trump’s post-mortem “instructions” to JD Vance don’t mean shit. 🤣 You’re going to die, Donny. You’re going to die, and the second you do, no one is ever going to care about you, or your memory, or your wishes, ever again.

"Trump and Stephen Miller are escalating deportations in a big way, but trying to do so very quietly. We’re at a real crossroads moment here that will determine how far they can get with their lawless ethnic cleansing campaign.” trib.al/WVaxhJI

“When Stephen Miller or other MAGA types suggest banning pregnant tourists from visiting the United States, this is a view of children not only as objects but as essentially a material resource in a race war. That is how you get The Federalist’s Sean Davis saying we may have to sterilize people”

I’m glad Merrick Garland has completely disappeared from public life.

It just became brutally apparent to me that there is no saving some of my MAGA relatives, and that breaks my heart.

This Cannot Be What You Wanted By Tony Pentimalli You may have voted for border enforcement. You did not vote for federal agents in unmarked vehicles stopping the wrong work van, killing its driver without body camera footage,

In the wake of the birthright citizenship decision, I decided to examine some of the ways the American right talks about and treats children. I think it’s hard to conclude they cherish children quite as much as they say. www.liberalcurrents.com/what-to-the-...

I understand Netanyahu not wanting Iran to have a nuclear bomb. It’s a very reasonable expectation. Several Presidents did promise Israel that we wouldn’t let that happen. (1/2)

The US majorly screwed Mexico over water rights, ages ago, and that’s a significant part of the reason Mexico is poor, which of course further leads to all the other issues between our two countries.

The President of the United States is a liar.

Doing the right thing really isn’t hard in this scenario, Republicans. No, God is not going to miraculously do the right thing for you. That would defeat the entire purpose of your very existence. God created you to do good things. (1/2)

Just impeach him. You don’t need him, Republicans. There is nothing you wish to accomplish that can’t still be easily accomplished WITHOUT him. It’s his crimes that are the issue, here. Not his agenda. He’s not saving America. He’s destroying it. And you know that.

Republicans, what part of Deuteronomy 30:19 did you not understand? This isn’t a hard choice to make. Are you afraid of life? Do you love death? Trump is killing a lot of people, globally; and many Americans, specifically! Innocent people. Your people. People you’re supposed to care about.

Republicans need to impeach Trump, themselves. They should not wait for Democrats to do it for them. If the high crimes that Trump is blatantly committing, in broad daylight, are not enough for Republicans to hold one of their own accountable, then they never actually stood for anything at all. (1/2

They should really subpoena Mitch McConnell to discuss, under oath, what he knows about the Epstein files.

Republicans, why does it feel like you are trying to force the end and complete annihilation of the entire world ON PURPOSE!!! What has happened to you? You will still control all branches of government even if you remove Trump. (1/3)

I’m actually really seriously asking this. Because it really feels that way.

What have you done, Republicans? Seriously, what in God’s Name have you actually done?! Did you literally make a real Satanic blood-pact with the Devil, himself, just to win the culture wars? And that’s why you can’t just remove Trump, as is your Constitutional duty? Is that what you did? CONFESS!!!

I wish Republicans actually gave one single damn about truth, justice, morality; or the actual well being of their own constituents; and the preservation of the country, the Constitution, and humanity in general. I wish they gave one single damn about, well… anything life-affirming at all.

Every accusation is a confession. Every single one.

Quite fair complaints.

Spotify fundamentally does not understand me. I listen to one rock, metal, or rap song, that has thoughtful and interesting, and maybe somewhat pseudo-spiritual lyrics (but not distinctly Christian), and then… (1/2)

Todd Blanche refused to comply with Court Order on Epstein Files by the required Jul 2d deadline. This should kill his nomination for AG.

Nobody cares if Black people are cast in productions of Shakespeare plays. And anyone is allowed to play any role in a high school musical. Why would a major Hollywood film be any different?

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.
