This is objectively false. Last I checked, the US was providing military assistance to roughly three-quarters of the world's dictatorships.

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/02/14/w... #medlibs

A retired FDNY captain was arrested for beating a man to death with his bare hands at a church after an AA meeting. There will be no national outrage because it doesn't fit the media's narrative. If the murderer was an immigrant or a trans person, it'd get wall-to-wall coverage.

"I can't believe it" okay then why are you running to every platform you can to proclaim the fact you can't believe the reality infront of your faces Rather than asking and supporting the ones who can because they've been warning you about it for years

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).

Corporations are free to cross any border they want under the cover of legal fictions like "corporate personhood," which let them kill, conquer, and colonize the entire planet, but if human beings cross a border to try and escape tyranny, they're met with barbed wire, cages, and deportation squads.

Language matters. Trump’s immigration policy is not targeting criminals, it is racial profiling. Guantanamo will not be a detention facility, it will be a concentration camp. Migrants will not be detained, people will be interned. Mainstream media will get this wrong. We need to get it right.

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized last year. This week, Amazon closed its warehouse operations in Quebec. Amazon denied the closures were related to unionization, but it has a track record of crushing unions in America. Union busting is disgusting — and a global problem.

So, TikTok is supposedly a national security threat from China, but it seems odd that there's been almost no mainstream press coverage of Trump dismantling the board investigating the Salt Typhoon hack which is an ACTUAL PROVEN hack from China & incredibly damaging. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/23/t...

"SARS-CoV-2 is part of the group that also includes common cold coronaviruses" Yep. And whales are part of the group that also includes cows and hippos and giraffes. We have got to get past pre-evolutionary typological thinking when talking about viruses.

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/ www.psypost.org/male-victimh...

Dems had absolutely NO forethought for this moment and this tells me they are no longer equipt to be the people fighting for our democracy when they have no sense of strategy or even common sense.

Just so we’re all clear: -Dems bend over backwards to Netanyahu’s every whim carrying through with financing a genocide, Bibi wants Trump to win and it costs Dems the election. -At the request of Netanyahu, the Tiktok Ban bill is Revived under a Dem President, closer tying it to Biden moreso

Oh and the “Resistance” we’re going to see from liberals in the coming years will get them kylled because the civil rights movement that it is modeled after, as it is taught to all Americans, is a sanitized version of what people were really doing to resist.

megawealth is a curse! you become acutely aware of the needs you have that cannot be satisfied through material means AND you are socially ill-positioned to be in a place where you can experience authentic human connection because everyone around you has every incentive to lie to you!

Please stop telling me that crime must be deterred. Studies have shown over and over again that in the context of criminal law, deterrence theory is a myth. It doesn't work. It never has. That's a copaganda myth. Poverty is the cause of most crime. Eliminate poverty, and you eliminate most crime.

saw someone asking what trans people did to deserve all the vitriol, & nothing actual of course. but transness breaks the rule #1 of the conservative hierarchical worldview, that your position is to a large degree defined by your birth. choosing to put yourself in a different tier is heretical
