Future historians: As their computers ate and destroyed all their languages we can only assume that what happened was magic became real and that's how they defeated global genocidal fascism

On the left, the German Mud Wizard in their druid cloak pushes a German riot cops who is already stuck in the mud. On the left are 3 Portland Antifa frogs in green inflatable cartoonish costumes and one black frog with white frog bones on him like the antifa frog skeleton.

No matter how many hit clips you see from @govpritzker.illinois.gov, the fact remains that the Illinois State Police are actively protecting and aiding ICE in their terrorizing of our communities.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

The cruelty of saying “hospitals are ready” by increasing ICU beds and body bags… instead of fixing the ventilation.

Just mull over that for a bit #MedSky.

The Nobel Peace Prize was won by one of the worst war criminals of the 20th century.

The year was 1973.

His name was Henry Kissinger.

This is his thread of shame.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Like how can we have endless pieces about fucking dissertation plagiarism and not one about "the spokesperson for DHS tells specific, easily-disproven lies constantly to provide cover for serious crimes against the public" how is that not a big deal? Do I have to write this shit myself?!?!?

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

I don't even know what the rest of this thread says but this skeet is absolutely correct. Every administration is complicit in allowing this agency to be funded.

Yeah! This guy knows what he’s talking about. She’s a REAL champion of democracy!

Tensions between Venezuela and America soared following the attack, but Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat.
"I totally support his strategy," Machado said.
"And I've said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It's courageous. It's visionary”

The idea that these two traumatized peoples, one of which spent two full years grinding through the other as if with a meat grinder, have any kind of normal to ~return to~ is psychotic. The idea that *more* oppression & dehumanization of the Palestinians is what will bring actual peace is doubly so.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

People are using ChatGPT as a lawyer in court. Some are winning.

From pickleball disputes to eviction cases, litigants are using ChatGPT to fight their court battles — and they’re starting to win.

Seeing many posts about how ICE isn't trained. That's not really the problem. The problem is what they were sent to do, not whether they're qualified to do it.
