Just because this NEEDS to be repeated.
The USA has been here before, but back then you defeated the fascists at home, as well as around the world. This time they reside in the White House. 😢

I think the ex-MAGA's need to stand in the frontlines of the protests, right now. They caused this problem. Now that they regret it, they should be the strongest protestors.

A #KavanaughStop in Chicago (with notorious CBP supervisor Greg Bovino on the scene):

‘Alicia Brooks, a 33-year-old American citizen[,] … heard a helicopter right outside her window …. “I started to get my key, and I was grabbed … I was zip-tied … and escorted outside the building.”’

One of the residents who remains is Alicia Brooks, a 33-year-old American citizen. By her account, when the raid started, she heard a helicopter right outside her window on the fifth floor. "I started to get my key, and I was grabbed," she says. "I was zip-tied in front of me and escorted outside the building." Dozens of men in military-style uniforms carrying assault rifles evacuated the complex "like it was on fire",
", she says. They lined up the
inhabitants outside, zip-tying the hands of the adults, and put them on buses.

United States. At the scene Greg Bovino, the chief patrol officer at the border agency, said that overwhelming force was needed because "we know there's weapons" and because gang members had taken over the building, where they were trafficking in sex and drugs. He said this to NewsNation, a right-wing news channel, which was invited along for the raid.

Same for the women (non-Grindr).
Beautiful, unapproachable women, unless you're a 10/10.

But hé, for a little cash they'll show you what they'd do for/with you, IF you were a 10.

THIS is why I expect the AI bubble to burst pretty soon.

It has become an insider-finance-bubble, based upon borrowed money, with their own stock values as collateral.

Puncture it, and you'll see what it really is: a hellscape of datacenters, aiming to control your lives.

so we are clear
NVDA handed xAI $2 billion to help create a "special purpose vehicle" that will then buy NVDA processors and rent them to xAI.

We are all supposed to pretend this is not the same vendor financing cycle that's blown up repeatedly in history.

There have been some episodes in USA's history where care counted for something, but it was mostly genocide, slavery and racism.

So, I think he's thinking of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s...

Shower thought, the early internet started as a tool to share knowledge, but has become a tool to embolden ignorance.

The history of the USA shows that the racism, the genocide, the slavery is the point of the south. And there never has been any recognition of it.

West-Germans now know why nazism is a bad ideology. East-Germans don't, since there was no recognition under communism.

Trump is terribly out of control, but Stephen Miller is worse.

Stephen Miller is the Poster Boy for the Rabid MAGA Movement

The more voters see of him, the more repulsed they’ll be

Watched the Surviving Malka Leifer story on Stan. Absolutely heart-rending, what those sisters went through. And just for a change (not), an insular community that closes ranks to protect the perpetrator not the victim. 🙄

The Tories are not in power, right?
So why still listen to their 14 years of garbage & whining?
