So many excuses for a person committed to supporting a genocide! Of course it’s easier to blame Harris over millions of people who opposed child murder, because it makes sense on logical, tactical, and moral grounds! She only had Wall St’s support to lose, and she preferred keeping that to winning!

***Spoiler for James Gunn’s Superman***

Q: At the end of the movie why was Superman able to get away when Ultraman was sucked into the black hole?

A: Because Superman had S-cape velocity.

Something no one person is more responsible for than Harris. She actively chose over and over to unconditionally support the state sponsored murder of children and managed to lose to human filth Donald Trump. How can the lesson not be run better candidates? Voter shaming doesn’t work.

In case it wasn’t yet obvious to all, all the Republicans are literal Nazis now.

They all support an openly criminal, authoritarian, white supremacist leader and his team of selected flunkies, yes men, and thug militia.

Any Dem unwilling to publicly acknowledge this at this point is a quisling.

If we’re to survive as a species, the rich can never be allowed near power again, which necessitates eliminating the rich as an available class of society.

Or the biosphere burns as we watch. There seems to be a clearly preferable option here for most of us.

From my understanding scaled up quantum computing would come with actual quantifiable metrics that neutral parties could assess much more easily than the supposed utility of LLMs, but you’re right that we should absolutely be on our guard about it.

First it was cryptocurrency that was going to make us all rich, then it was NFTs, now it’s LLMs, and the writing couldn’t be more obviously on the wall if it was burned into the back of all of our eyelids.

WHEN this all comes crashing down, there must be consequences for these bastards.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

The Black Lives Matter protests ended in a brutal wave of police initiated mass beatings, and it felt like most of society just moved on.

And here we are now, local police forces the country over voluntarily siding with, protecting, helping ICE, the Gestapo, the Nazis.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Either Governor Pritzker can’t control the police forces of his own state, or he doesn’t want to. Would be damn nice if he’d be honest about which it actually is.

like in previous days, a large contingent of state troopers, cook county sheriff’s police, and assorted local cops are guarding the ice detention center and keeping the streets clear for ice.

lots of protesters heckling them. a group is chanting, “they grab them! they grab us!”

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”
