Musk knowingly facilitates and profits from large-scale slavery, which would end without his help. He just personally defunded the U.S. initiatives that help people escape these compounds. www.wired.com/story/starli...

It just hit me that across every dimension Trump is destroying a full century of human progress. Free trade, the norm against aggression, vaccines and public health, desegregation, victory against fascism and ethno-nationalism. All onto the bonfire. One of the greatest criminals in history.

Hey dummies, guess who else were "an oppositional culture" that, after victory, never stopped acting like it was in the opposition?

Nobody gives university teachers any guidance, and no one checks on you. You could teach kids to drink their own urine and love Satan, and no one would find out unless a student complained. As it happens, my students loved drinking pee and worshipping the Prince of Lies, so my evals were great.

The Democrats still haven't found anything or anyone they're willing to fight for, only things they will follow rules for. And when the GOP easily trounces them by breaking the rules, they issue a strongly worded statement saying we must fight to defend the rules. This has gone on for years.

Trump is a far-right imperialist in league with other far-right imperialist powers and billionaire plutocrats to carve up the world. Divvying up Ukraine with Putin is just step one....
