Just a reminder that Jack published a book last year called “unhumans” that makes the argument that all Democrats and anyone left of Francisco Franco should be rounded up and murdered en mass for the rest of the populations entertainment.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

Fear of deportation is keeping pregnant immigrants from accessing health care. The same fear is keeping immigrant domestic violence victims from calling for help.

Given that homicide is the leading cause of death for pregnant people, this is all terrible.

And it’s certainly not public safety.

“My biggest fear is going to the hospital."

Pregnant immigrants are terrified ICE will show up outside the doctors' office or at the hospital. So they're skipping the care necessary to ensure a healthy birth.

Some experience dangerous complications as a result.

ICE fears put pregnant immigrants and their babies at risk

Fear of deportation is deterring people without permanent legal status from critical care. Doctors are worried for their health — and the health of their pregnancies.

Everyone on the fence about A.I., there's something you don't realize.

It's purpose is to eliminate human jobs and human skills.

That's it. That's its single purpose. For companies to no longer pay people or train them in skills.

All this will do is put fake art everywhere because it's cheap to produce and turn real art into a cottage industry made by the comfortable with other sources of income. This is how our civilisation dies. Murdered by technology, not freed by it. And the real culprit is corporate greed. [cont]

Incredible.

The elimination of USAID is likely among the most popular policies of the second Trump administration, but that doesn't make it any less evil (and, counterproductive toward US interests). This is peak "the cruelty is the point."

If you believe that there isn’t an electoral plurality in this country for basic human rights while the current administration sits 20 points underwater, you might as well give up claiming to be in favor of elections at all.

Dems and Independents can’t even be relied on to vote for a woman as potus. Stop insisting they go to the mat for specific groups before they earn your vote. That’s not going to win presidential elections. GOP will be in office for-fucking-ever.
