The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyyโs plane & itโs barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. Weโve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesnโt even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
It's goodโvery good, and very importantโthat district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.
The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, itโs โlook at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!โ
Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. โAnd I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.โ
Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?
The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years. Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income โ so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.
Koh: He appointed a junior staffer as the U.S. Attorney because he couldn't get anyone else to bring this forward. This is a sign of incompetence in this administration. We're seeing everywhere. Incompetence is leading to a 30x increase in measles year over year in this countryโฆ
1. Some good news at last. This weekโs column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which weโve now developed into a global research programme. It doesnโt change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + ๐งต www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
there's a certain personality that's very debilitating in modern life. 100 years ago, if you wanted to buy something, you'd go to five local shops and decide. now with the internet, you need to spend 1,000 hours so you can own the best version in the world like you're some venetian patrician
โIn 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologisingโ Daisy Cooper
listen I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply
โIโm disgusted, because it wasnโt only myselfโ it was my elderly mother in her 90โs and my sister too. It makes no sense. Who bought him off?โ A victim of David Gentile, a private equity CEO Trump pardoned after doing just 12 days for defrauding investors of $1.6 billion
A """funny""" thing I've noticed is that if you see a buckwild and totally made up claim on Reddit and then search that claim on Google, trying to source it, the Gemini AI summary will be like "oh, yeah, that totally happened, and my source is that three hour old Reddit thread you were just reading"
Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
#GVerse #Veterans US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.
If it takes 1000 FBI agents or just 1000 people to redact his name from the files, then the dumbass is in deep trouble, because 1000 more people know he is in the Epstein files an insane number of times. ๐ It will only take a few of them to leak it to the media. ๐๐ MAY THE LEAKING BEGIN NOW. ๐๐
I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.
What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.
HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop. PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!! People need homes they can afford!
Itโs all transparently bullshit and immune to rationality, but if struggling to stabilize half a burning boat to avoid drowning is โgetting back in the fight,โ what theyโre really saying is thereโs nothing the survivors could have done to avoid being killed. And that definitely isnโt the law.
People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.
Dubai immigrant, Isabel Oakeshott, whines that Farage got nothing from his deal with the Tories last time, so why should he do that again. Christ. The whining victimhood of these spoiled brats. Squabbling over power, while the rest of us live with the mess theyโve made of our country and our lives.
GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."
