[defense wheels out a tv with their own ai of the victim] hey man, thanks for killing me

India is bombing Pakistan. UAE is bombing Sudan...and that's just the beginning. The whole world has watched Israel get away with pissing on the Geneva Convention for 18 months straight, only a fool would assume this won't inspire other genocidal nations.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses. Real buttons are sooooooo back baby!

"Trump lost against the Maine governor. He lost against Perkins Coie. He loses 80% of cases in court. Which makes those who’ve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if they’d just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."

Trump announced he wants to cut $163B that would've gone to health care, housing, child care, education, clean energy, nutrition, & research. But he wants $1 trillion for the Pentagon, which has never passed an audit. It was never about waste, fraud, and abuse. It's about making the rich richer.

Ironically, this is Big Pharma's wet dream. Rather than a preventative vaccine that costs a few dollars a dose twice a lifetime, they can sell expensive new in-patent drugs for hundreds a dose that you need to keep taking.

Literally the most predictable possible outcome of Labour’s hard turn to right wing posturing. They gain exactly no votes from the right. They lose their votes from the left. Also predictable: they will try to go further right, intensifying the pattern.

So Labour's pivot to swivel-eyed racist lunacy and transphobia in the UK resulted in them losing a previously safe seat in Runcorn, with the seat going to Reform? Are you paying attention Sinn Fèin, and every other centre-left party? Stop doing the far-right's work for them.

Trump’s entire agenda is about making sure people don’t understand what he’s doing. The simplest way to resist is to tell people what he’s doing.

"were just concerned about immigration" / "We're just concerned parents" / "We're just asking questions." Your concerns have been addressed and your questions have been answered ad nauseum. You're only concerned about how racist or transphobic you're allowed to be, and won't take no for an answer.

He worked for Corriere della Sera from 1928 until he died. He liked to compare his long spell at the paper with his service in the army, but the analogy kept changing its meaning over time.’ Michael Wood on the weird fiction of Dino Buzzati: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

It is not unfrequent to hear men declaim loudly upon liberty, who, if we may judge by the whole tenor of their actions, mean nothing else by it but their own liberty, — to oppress without control or the restraint of laws all who are poorer or weaker than themselves. Samuel Adams

I recall how, in the twilight of his presidency, Joe Biden tried to declare that the Equal Rights Amendment was the law of the land due to recent state legislative action, and everyone either ignored it or said "lolno" and that was that. The press is eager to give Trump magic powers.

On one hand, the sigh I emitted upon seeing this ad was so deep that my entire soul fled with it, and has passed beyond the circles of the world. On the other, the tagline “Finally a mug that’s as smart as you are” is such a blistering excoriation of anyone who backs it that maybe it balances out.

The only way you can kill a kid and have nobody bat an eye. We could 100% implement reasonable reforms that make tragedies like this much much less likely. But the car is undefeated in public policy world. Even seatbelts was a struggle.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

To remain safe in bathrooms all I have to do is simply show my vagina to anyone who questions my femininity. Thank you for keeping me safe from male predators LGB Alliance

A direct strike on her home.

Nearly 300 apply as French university offers US academics ‘scientific asylum’

something like 75% of the people on that plane were proven to have absolutely zero criminal records, and they ALSO have House reps, and those House reps have offices to picket and phone lines to tie up "So-and-So just did ____, why can't YOU do that???" is a pretty good attack in these cases!

Irish writers have handed a petition to the government, raising concerns that Meta is using their work to train its AI models. They warn Irish writing could die out unless urgent action is taken to protect authors’ rights. More details on #VMNews.

Unbeatable entertainment.

If the notion the Gaza protests were broadly antisemitic was a fringe conservative media canard rather than an idea spread by the mainstream press, would they be trying all this legally? How much are columnists talking nonsense going to cost these colleges? How many students will suffer?

trying hard not to speculate but I’m even more scared for this man than yesterday

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

When deportations ramped up in the UK people formed anti raids groups which made this a consistent pattern and it's really effective. Immigration enforcement depends on the consent and complicity of communities allowing it to happen. It can't happen when people refuse them to steal your neighbours.

there is no fact-based evaluation that does not hold George W. Bush and Barack Obama partly responsible for where we are with Trump. For decades we let these guys extend the power of the executive and no one with power ever pushed back. We are reaping those consequences now.

Remember when a group of white nationalists in 2017 menaced anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us" & then the President at the time said there were "many fine people on both sides" of that event? The feds investigating antisemitism should look into that guy.

Number one takeaway from the insane turnout at fight the oligarchy rallies, while chuck schumer cancels his little book tour and gretchen whitmer hides her face, is that there is zero constituency for bipartisanship

It goes without saying that when they say antisemitism they mean objecting to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. If you say anything actually hateful about Jews you get a ✅ . Explicitly Nazi stuff will get a ✅. Holocaust denialism ✅

Current mood. #fuckai

IMPORTANT: Paris has been implementing a 5-Year Pedestrian Plan: - 300 million € invested by 2026 - 100 new hectares of pedestrian space - 100 more “streets for kids” - Focus on 0 pedestrian deaths #VisionZero - Longer pedestrian cross times geared to seniors Leadership. Does your city have one?

Just a reminder that Khalil’s fate will be determined today by an immigration judge whom the Trump administration has the power to fire. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/mah...

The best thing to remember, don’t do art to post online. Do art for yourself and if you want to show it, do that.

There should be little doubt left that to the US state, Jews only exist insofar as they can be used to suppress freedom of speech. Jews will be among those targeted by this as they have already been targeted by Zionist groups like AIPAC, Betar, Canary Mission etc www.uscis.gov/newsroom/new...

He’s created a highly unstable business environment, crashed the economy, put cost barriers in the way of importing materials and all sorts of other barriers in the way of companies bringing in talented international staff, AND hit scientific research, and now he expects pharma to move to America.

Yes, it’s a bit hard to see now, but allowing the president to become a king who can kidnap citizens while also demolishing the global financial system is a small price to pay for getting to keeping 23 trans women from playing college sports.

Sometimes you have to fight for what you want. That's why IrishCycle would encourage readers in the Dublin City and DLR areas to join this: "Express your support for safe cycling infrastructure" -- Dublin campaign group calls on public to join cycle along Strand Road irishcycle.com/2025/04/07/e...

The public deserves to know the full scale of our government's complicity in crimes against humanity.

moving your manufacturing abroad and then getting mad you have to import the things back is funny. it's simply a funny thing to do

Correct. "Deportation" is not what is happening. More like "Regime-Backed Daylight Blackbaggings"

OK so why are you selling British creatives out to US tech companies
