Dr Oz: "Turns out that about 1/3 families don't have the number of babies they desire. They're under-babied. So this president committed to address that during the campaign and he's delivering on that today."

Still backing or endorsing Israel & Netanyahu while it continues to commit mass murder, starvation and genocide, yes, it does make you complicit. You either support committing crimes against humanity or you don't. Your self declared political identities don't matter when your principles are corrupt.

Great progress. Would still like to know:

- Are there guidelines for future client relationships with morally dubious operations?
- Where can we validate that this action has actually occurred?
- What punitive measures are in place for Microsoft?

Microsoft has terminated unit 8200’s access to select cloud storage and AI services, making it the first giant tech company to terminate any services to apartheid Israel at least since the beginning of its Gaza genocide.

Honestly, the motivations of a sociopathic, unregulated man-child playing planetary New Game+ seems clearer to me than our collective willingness to allow them to run our lives freely.
I don’t think the president should have the power to just arbitrarily declare online that IKEA cannot do business in the United States for no particular reason other than he feels like it
Not even 20 minutes later and I guess we’re doing 50% tariffs on IKEA for some reason. He’s a man with a plan to make life more expensive and he can’t be stopped.

Whether deliberate, unintentional, or just for brevity, the omission of African, Asian and Oceanian genocides in examples of colonial barbarism suggests a latent stratification of selective empathy.
This indicates that we’re wrongfully accepting of the concept, depending on the victim.

It happened in Turkey to the Armenians.
It happened in Europe during the Holocaust.
It's happening in Gaza.
It's underway at ICE facilities around the US.
And if we don't stop it, one day it could happen to you.

By the way, Nexstar owns 29 NBC affiliates and 42 CBS affiliates too. Tegna has 20 NBC and 11 CBS. Their merger requires that the FCC approves a major regulation change. It hasn't done that yet.
