This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.

Another question, other than the obvious wage slavery of it all, is... why? Why do we need them mining and refining materials? They'll say it's so they can make the "AI revolution" go faster, but to what end? Why is any of this happening? None of this needs to or should happen.

Weird that the son of a South African emerald mine owner has some social engineering ideas about mining.

The ultra wealthy are building bunkers to insulate themselves from the world they're rapidly destroying. It's why we have to work together because it really is a 0.1% vs the 99.9% situation www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

This is unfortunately how the Biden era senate majority functioned. Sinema and Manchin kneecapped it every single time. Effectively not a majority. But of course trying to campaign on that isn’t easy or very convincing to the average voter, sadly.

This is a difficult time in financial markets but the real victims are the countless numbers of faceless small and mid-sized businesses who import from China and are getting vaporized overnight, and the White House would never take their calls.

I just watched the Minecraft Movie and it is extremely good and the theater was the exact right amount of rowdy and kids were doing callbacks to the screen and singing along with Jack Black. The whole theater yelling “CHICKEN JOCKEY” alone was worth the price of admission.

We are never voting fascism out now that it’s in power. You need to understand that really start to live with what that means. One of the things that does not mean is that we lose It means that the way we deal with fascism no longer can be confined to the institutional powers of what was.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

The eye of the anti-trans movement has fallen on a school near me, which a relative attends. The community is coming out to defend it and its students.

Healthcare is a universal right, and it should never have stipulations attached to access. Also, Mike Johnson sure does think about young men a lot.

The tariff debacle has no more to do with wanting to return manufacturing to the US than his attacks on universities have to do with sincere concerns about antisemitism. These are mere pretexts to hide darker agendas of greed and grievance, power plays and corruption.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
