Greetings new arrivals. I'm Sam and for the most part I am but a humble shitposter.
I have a background in studying Nazi Germany, the late Russian Empire and the early USSR which I thought would be a neat party trick but then Timothy Snyder started appearing on MSNBC and now I hate everything

The administration just announced the end of TPS status designation for Burma, which will affect anyone from Burma in the U.S. with TPS status right now.

i have agreed with stancil and i have disagreed with stancil. he has sharp elbows. but the accusation that he is a raging transphobe is not connected to reality. and the weaponization of "i'm listening to trans people" to smear someone because you disagree about fucking econ polling is disgusting
No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia
Listen dude, you can try and ride for this guy all you want, but the trans userbase of this platform fucking hates him because he picks on them. I'm going to listen to the trans people I know who are telling me he's bad. Plus I've been in these threads and seen it

The most stoned moment of my life was probably at Rock Im Park 2007, staring at the Speer-designed stage and visualizing what I could've accomplished at the 1935 rally with the door minigun on a Blackhawk.

This is more meaningful resistance to Putin than the Russian "liberal" opposition has managed in almost 4 years
Nine Russian “volunteers” killed their escort after deciding not to go fight in Ukraine. Taken straight from prison to the front under contract, they murdered the convoy driver en route and are now on the run in Leningrad region. Russian police are actively searching the outskirts of Kudrovo.

A lot of my boys write for Liberal Currents, and if you're going to give your money to something besides Ukrainian Military units so they can kill Russians—you should actually give them money.
It's very much worth having a liberalism that's confident in itself.

Larger media outlets have wavered since the first Trump term, but we've remained steadfast in our categorical rejection of MAGA in all its aspects and our affirmation of liberal democracy and the principles that it rests on.

People who already hate AI focusing on the (greatly overblown) environmental impact of AI are giving themselves the permission structure to not examine their own carbon footprint.
Who cares if you're driving everywhere and scarfing down beef? You're a good person for not using AI.

It’s hard to decide which is more disturbing—that the president of the United States thinks that being disliked is a mitigating factor in the murder of a journalist; or that he considers reporters who ask questions he doesn’t like to be “insubordinate.” www.thebulwark.com/p/push-back-...
