"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Hermann Göring

“It’s important to recognize that the Trump administration doesn’t seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do, and they’ll keep doing it unless someone stops them.”

Not one government has told Israel to stop kidnapping their citizens in international waters and let them bring baby formula to starving babies. What a shameful time to be alive

Weird how they put all their efforts into using technology to replace human creativity and art and then say creative arts degrees are useless.

A national political party could just send a bunch of electeds to Portland for a weekend to look around, with cameras following them. I mean, national news outlets could also do this, but OK.

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.

writing-prompt-s:

The Anti Christ came and went, but no one noticed because he wasn't worse than the current state of the world already is. The rapture followed, but no one went to Heaven, so we didn't notice that either. We've been living in Hell for the last last 5 years, and no one has noticed, yet.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

Just remembered this jaw-dropping graph by @oceansclimatecu.bsky.social showing the rate of change in CO2 during the previous two deglaciations of the Pleistocene (which, as a fun aside, featured ~400 feet of sea level rise) as compared with today

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

Since taking office, President Trump has used his cryptocurrency to accept billions of dollars from foreign entities. Here's our bombshell exposé of a land deal that Hunter Biden pursued in Romania in 2017.

I do wish people would pump the brakes a little on diagnosing Trump as having a mental illness.

One, it excuses his bad behavior. Two, it stigmatizes mental illness.

Trump is, always has been, a racist, bully, and predator. He's ill, and his faculties are declining, but he's just a wretched person
