Remember those Amazon stores that you could just grab stuff and it would automatically charge you when you waked out. Turns out the tech was literally just having a small army of underpaid guys in India watch you grab the items. No AI involved…

They made corporations people so those corporations could fuck you over. But the second it flipped on them, suddenly they needed to look at whether that should be legal, oh BUT ONLY FOR THE GOV. Because corporations have the same rights as any citizen.

Why this is important: No one is really impacting the US economy. They are driving us into a deeper hole but literally privatizing the US economy through overseas investments. We have no allies who will help us. This will not help us.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.
Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

Funny, they chose two ICE agents with Hispanic names to be the fall guys.
And don't get me wrong,they deserve to be punished just for being ICE. I'm just saying that no one will convince me that those two actually pulled the trigger.

The death of Alex Pretti has been ruled a homicide, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office said. Pretti was shot Jan. 24 during a chaotic encounter with federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez were named as the two officers who fired at Pretti.

If discussing how she was a terrible candidate and had no invested interest in helping the working class made people not want to vote for Kamala, then she wasn't a good candidate running in a good platform.

Something that flabbergasts me is how people both argue that Democrats and Republicans are not the same (which I assume means they aren't paying attention to the news) and that revolution is bad actually is that they think the US military, their sons and daughters, would blindly follow orders.

This is the "not all men" of racists. "I never said I THINK my family is more valuable, I only live in a world where I implicitly benefit in every way from white supremacy and racism but I don't see why I should take any accountability for that system."
Nope never said my life or my family's life are "more valuable" but selfishly on a human level (not a white person level) will do anything to protect my family, if you don't agree with that, that's you going against human nature, and your choice but that's how humans work
