fun fact, the US military and state department trafficked children on behalf of the northern alliance and later the afghan government. this dude absolutely helped with that shit. he probably also helped guard opium fields and the drug trade since post invasion afghanistan was a narco-state.

Black is a Presbyterian pastor who has done anti-poverty work in Chicago since 2020. He grew up in an evangelical household and went to seminary for years, he didn't pay a site online 25 dollars.

My understanding from my nun friends is he's spent most of his time working on running a free pantry.

A Newsmax host defended ICE agents shooting a minister in the head with a pepper ball by falsely claiming he was “actually an antifa member masquerading as a pastor.”

being online is amazing you can say "our democratically elected officials should be doing something and/or should have done something previously to prevent the current political climate from developing to this point" and someone will argue with you

The thing about AI is that although it looks like a bubble and is obviously a bubble and anyone who thinks about it for a moment knows it’s a bubble, unlike all other bubbles in the past I’m sure it will just be fine. I’m investing in tulips.

NightMar on Hicks Street, Part 4: The Rabbit’s Revenge @histoftech.bsky.social · 1d

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

UPS says it is destroying parcels sent to US customers because the Trump administration is failing to process or clear the parcels through customs. In essence, no one can figure out what the applicable tariff rules are and how they are to be applied—amidst a deluge of contradictory tweets from Trump

Very funny seeing people mad at me for endorsing continuing the shut down "You just want chaos"

My man, I've never endorsed a shutdown before this lol.

When the president is doing line item vetos on spending and invading American cities that's a real ass problem.

Some kind of pathological compulsion to convince yourself that anyone who is upset about watching people being slaughtered every day for years is a hipster from Brooklyn, the stereotype from like 20 years ago.

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!
