Cyclist. Legal-junkie but not a lawyer. In retrospect, environmental justice activist and nonbinary since 1972. They used less kind terms back then. Landed in VT. AntiFascist since I was 7.
Is this to hide his embarrassment after Phil Glass canceled?

Congress — including Susan Collins — can't keep kicking the can down the road on holding ICE accountable for their terrorization of our communities. We need action now.

ICE will rough and terrorize more white people and Trump voters.

This won't go well for Republicans.

"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

Oz's only real goal is to go after the Armenian community. This regime is all about the perpetuation of violence by majorities against minorities anywhere in the world.

Damn who would have thought that Dr. Oz, an Armenian Genocide denier, would immediately start targeting Armenians once he was given a slice of power.

Oz always sidesteps questions about the Armenian Genocide in Turkey. He's still a citizen there. Now he's starting a propaganda war against Armenians in the US. I guess it's fight or flight now.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

That's 30,000 layoffs in three months as they cut costs to fund AI development. I'm sure the AI people they hire will be happy. It'll never be 30,000 though.
