If you think the US was in anyway "peaceful" prior to trump, it's likely because you were/are shielded by some level of privilege. For marginalized people at home and millions of people overseas, hatred and conflict are a defining characteristic of the USA.

I went to immigration court in Seattle to observe the kids docket. These children, some as young as three years old, are expected to understand complex legal processes and represent themselves in court.

OpenAI’s Atlas promises AI-powered convenience. The price? Letting ChatGPT track and store “memories” of what you do online.

The thing about all these fucking statements now from world leaders calling for the food to be let in to Gaza: you have the ability to impose sanctions on Israel and every second you spend talking instead of imposing them is a collaborationist lie.

Palestinians have been crying out to the world for 8 decades about exactly what we are seeing today.
- Ever since the first home was stolen.
- The first farm was burned.
- The first child was shot.
The goal was to ethnic cleanse the Palestinians from the start of the occupation project.
