"There is violence on both sides" is such a bullshit statement. Violence is a choice for the oppressor. It is not for the oppressed.

This might sound like tinfoil hat stuff, but I have a tiny suspicion that the people who are sanctioning the ICC and threatening its staff are probably guilty of some really bad shit

Apple is placing warnings on EU apps that don’t use App Store payments. Blatant scare tactics to put consumers off using cheaper external payments systems, where Apple doesn't earn its 30% cut www.theverge.com/news/667484/...

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

There's a link in the Verge article on RFK Jr's eugenicist thinking ( https://www.theverge.com/health/661362/rfk-jr-measles-autism ) that might go unnoticed: https://dspace.loyno.edu/jspui/bitstream/123456789/151/1/Article%20-%20Spring%202021%20-%20Appleman.pdf […] [Original post on mas.to]

I'm sure Trump's whizbang DOGE RFKJr govt will get right on this. #MeaslesAnyone ‪Bloomberg News‬: The US eradicated the screwworm, a livestock-killing parasite, back in the 1980s. Now it’s staging a comeback

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

Bloomberg - To celebrate his first 100 days in office in 2017, President Trump visited a wheelbarrow factory in Pennsylvania. That plant is now closed and the wheelbarrows are made in China […]

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

I know people joke about it, but it really is head-spinning just how much political turmoil & economic upheaval & suffering have resulted from people being mad they can't use racial slurs any more.

This is not a serious government.

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

Ha-Joon Chang is one of the top experts on how tariffs can be used constructively, here’s his take on Trump’s glorious tariff crusade: https://youtu.be/Shz3mSMqW04?si=magq6GhOPPXjgZ1w

A reminder to reporters: Because Trump tariff numbers are made-up nonsense, using the phrase “reciprocal tariffs” is lying to your audience. The phrase itself is propaganda. They are not reciprocal.

Fox News stumbles onto something important by referring to anti-fascist graffiti as "anti-Trump"

AI is a work of the devil

The Israelis hunted down 15 paramedics from the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS) and other civil servants in Gaza, killed them one by one, and then dumped their bodies in a mass grave. This was last week, 23rd of March […]

Opposite World #gaslighting Via Rupar: Peter Navarro goes full Orwell on Fox News sic] Sunday: "The message is that [#tariffs are tax cuts." #TrumpTax

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

We think the US is falling apart because of Trump's reelection. But Trump is just a symptom of a bigger problem: The US is falling apart as a result of the US allowing an insane wealth distribution, where the rich pay no taxes, because their companies are offshored and now have revenues larger […]

Listening to a panel discussion AI and journalism. There's a disturbing lack of people advocating we Burn. The. Servers.

Just to put even more of a point on it, I think they are very clear that these are Nazi tactics. And they are doing Nazi shit in the name of "protecting" Jews because they know there is a certain class of Americans who will comfort themselves saying "it can't be Nazi shit, they're protecting Jews"
