The outreach does make a difference. I'll look into what's going on in NJ.

Nah. They want one side or another to achieve "total victory," which is only possible through ethnic cleansing.

Bring back noblesse oblige. I am quite serious.

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

"free speech zone" is such a bullshit phrase

according to the constitution, the entire country is a free speech zone

Found this just incredibly depressing, more than anything.

I'm 44. Women in their early 20s look like children to me now. I don't understand why someone would want to fuck someone who looks like a child to them let alone an actual child.

I hear you. It's rough right now. I'm hoping the ceasefire lasts and the antisemitism in the air cools down a bit.

Note that Tesla's valuation is stratospherically higher that Toyota despite not being in the top 10. Tesla stockholders are suckers in a hate cult.

I hear you. I've had to call in friends who I've had for over a decade for sharing Caitlin Johnstone and Richard Medhurst without knowing why they're colossal pieces of shit.

If it's not part of a pattern I'd personally try to let it go.

But contemporary conservatism is inherently unfriendly.

The administration “is currently pressuring OpenAI and other AI companies to make their models more conservative-friendly.”

OpenAI is trying to clamp down on ‘bias’ in ChatGPT

GPT-5 is better at resisting liberal ‘pressure,’ the company says.

The right to resistance doesn't mean everything is permitted. If murdering defenseless civilians is "resistance," then resistance is immoral.

The guard should refuse unjust orders. It's that simple.

Do you know the difference between the National Guard and ICE? The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

It's really astonishing how unhinged some of these people are. They're going around accusing actual Palestinians of being insufficiently in favor of the cause when they tell them to knock it off. Kat Abu's posts are flooded with these wreckers.
