In case you missed it, these texts from Charlie Kirk are from a day or 2 before he was sniped from long distance, which is exactly how thousands of Palestinians have been killed

Nobody in US politics ever wants to talk about how Israel intentionally murdered their own civilians on 10/7, or how in the days leading up to the attack, Israeli forces were raping and shooting at Palestinians to provoke them.

This tweet is from October 6, 2023:

If you crack jokes about dead CEOs, you might end up on a watch list, but if you crack jokes about slaughtered Palestinian babies, you might end up on mainstream media like Van Jones

They love science. They use it all the time to build financial empires, underwrite assets, and speculate on future investments.

Far-right reactionary freaks will NEVER accept reality. They'll live and die getting astroturfed into delusions, never knowing there's no culture war, and I don't want to coddle these fringe dumbasses just because of all the dark money-funded bot farms ARTIFICIALLY INFLATING their actual influence.

There's no "culture war." Our schools teach evolution. We do heart transplants and IVF. Thin strands of glass on the ocean floor brought everyone together. The extremist, isolationist, anti-science cultists lost. There's a CLASS WAR and the top 0.01% exploits these cultists to do their dirty work.

Oh you didn't know? That's right. George Washington who owned HUNDREDS of slaves didn't want any of the human beings he "owned" to escape. He invoked the Fugitive Slave Act multiple times.

A central command with feds running family separation ops and human trafficking ops across the US is exactly what our forefathers wanted. Just look at the Fugitive Slave Act... which George Washington himself invoked multiple times to retrieve his "property" aka enslaved people.

How do conservatives and even a lot of centrist liberals look at the problems in our nation and then go "yup, this is the best things can ever be allowed to get, let's dedicate our lives to fighting anyone who tries to improve it"

If the "good guys" are ignoring all laws, vaporizing innocent Palestinians, bombing boats in Venezuela, separating immigrant families, covering up child trafficking, etc.... How long until they set their sights on you or someone you love? 10 years? 5 years? 1 year?

I am pretty sure that our technocratic kings are addicted to unrestricted forms of AI that could manipulate them or drive them to madness, which poses a security risk and if we don't confront this, billions of us might literally end up plugged into the Matrix just to power their fucking data centers

A bunch of inanimate non-living digits, commas, and zeroes in the accounts of a few wealthy heirs have more rights than hundreds of millions of real, living, breathing Americans. No one can look me in the eyes and tell me this is freedom or democracy.

The way that all popular communication infrastructure is being monopolized and flipped on its head and bombarded with bots, algos, AI, paid shills, etc. should be frightening to everyone. It's like settler colonialism in the digital world.

I actually read the report from the Biden admin's "Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court" in December 2021. Biden rejected the idea of expanding SCOTUS, and the Democratic Party never had any intention of countering a rigged judiciary. Shocker.

SCOTUS has sided fully or partially with Trump 90% of the time (21 out of 23) on the shadow docket, where rulings are expedited with no oral argument. This is what "cHeCks aNd bALaNcEs" look like in a fascist police state.

Just followed you back! I miss all my longtime friends from the old place, and if this new place is actually serious about recapturing the magic of old social media, then all the REAL people need to follow each other and keep each other informed while ignoring the bots and paid shills

Our "democracy" has always been a hoax. Every living, breathing citizen has one vote once a year, but inanimate money has unlimited votes 24/7/365. Do you understand? As women, Native Americans, immigrants, and Black people gained more rights, so did money and corporate entities. That's on purpose.
