Kindness and compassion is paramount to a functioning society. There are no evil countries, only garbage leaders and exploitative systems. I mostly talk about geopolitics, technology and the economy. 我們正進入一個需要自游的危險時代。🇺🇸🇹🇼🇺🇦

When you shutdown the entire business model that relies upon exploiting the #DeMinimis loopholes. #Shein www.reuters.com/business/ret...

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

President Trump's firings of Joint Chiefs of Staff chair Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown, Jr. and other top military leaders sends a "dangerous message" to service members about how the administration regards political loyalty, Sen. Cory Booker said Sunday.

A one-man counterforce of Russia's brutality, America's betrayal, and Europe's cowardice. I can't express how much I appreciate the existence of this man.

Zelensky is the antithesis of Trump. Zelensky is country first. Trump is Trump first.

A huge chunk of #Germany still do not like #Nazis.

Zelenskyy offers to resign in exchange for Ukrainian NATO membership

CDU, SPD, Greens and FDP are likely going to have to form a working coalition government. CDU have openly opposed working with the far right AfD. #Germany

#Trump is basically saying that whatever he or the attorney general says is the law disregarding the US Congress and the Supreme Court. We're now in a constitutional crisis. #US #law www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n...

I would say most working class #Americans do not like #billionaire #oligarchs and how they are now openly screwing with the US political system in favor of the billionaire class.

Saw a #Tesla #Cybertruck parked in our neighborhood, as it was getting dark I thought it was an aluminum debris dumpster parked in front of someone's driveway. 🤣🤣🤣

Congrats to @bsky.app and all the users and team that make it unique ! 32m users is real !

My open letter to Elon Musk.👇 Mr. Musk, You recently criticized me and another prominent lawyer fighting for the rule of law and democracy in the United States. I am used to being attacked for my work, particularly on the platform you own and dominate. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

"Missing in China", Safeguard Defenders' next major report, is out next Tuesday. What do victims and experts say? A first snapshot.

Yes, this morning on @cnn, I called Trump a Russian plant and/or a Russian asset. And I stand by it.👇 www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

This. Is. Insane.

FEWS NET, the U.S. early warning system for famine, shut down after the foreign aid freeze. What are the consequences? And why does the U.S. has a famine early warning system in the first place?

Elon is fighting to pay $2K in child support for 3 kids, getting sued for custody by another mother of his child, is estranged from another daughter… And this is who the party of “family values” is turning the keys to the country over to?

This will significantly impact elderly disabled rural Americans by cutting #Telehealth from #Medicare coverage. This will force the disabled elderly living in rural areas to travel for hours to get medical assistance from their doctors. #cruelty #FAFO balleralert.com/profiles/blo...

#China ramping up intimidation against #NewZealand.

Extortion, pure and simple.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

This will significantly impact US military readiness if #China invades #Taiwan or the #Philippines. Very dangerous. #NationalDefense #USmilitary #Trumpfirings apnews.com/article/trum...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

New bat #coronavirus from #China very similar to #COVID19 discovered. www.scmp.com/news/china/s...

#Trump is an agent of chaos.

What happens if US population plunges by one third? Rural towns becomes even more sparsely populated creating vast swath of unpopulated ghost towns. Services like #healthcare and #internet will be harder to come by and be more expensive. #Manufacturing and #agricultural jobs will also be affected.

#Immigration keeps the #US population healthy and economy humming. The US have a population replacement rate of 2.1 but without immigration it would plunge to 1.6. If immigration is closed off the US population would decrease to less than 224M from 331M by 2100. www.brookings.edu/articles/imm...

Instead of #drugs, #eggs are now the hot commodity for smuggling rings across the Mexican border. #eggflation

#NewYorkPost is conservative media. #Putin is a dictator and #Zelenskyy is a hero. #Russia #Ukraine

"Putin is a "cancer" that cannot be given "any space." The US needs more of this from more Republicans! Normalizing russia is against US national interests and values. Simple as that. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

After Trump falsely called Zelenskyy a “dictator” and as reports emerged of U.S. and Russian officials meeting in Saudi Arabia to discuss a possible ceasefire without input from Ukraine, even some of Zelenskyy’s domestic opponents have begun defending him. apnews.com/article/ukra...

Lol, and tell Taiwan to increase its defense budget or pay the US for its defense?

Everything that uses #eggs are going to cost more... a lot more. #eggflation #bakery #inflation

Talk about a rigged system.

"OpenAI also said it had uncovered a separate Chinese campaign, called Sponsored Discontent, that used OpenAI’s technologies to generate English-language posts that criticized Chinese dissidents."

Yet another major #cryptocurrency heist. #Bybit

"Even Muskovites might think twice about entrusting their financial data to Musk. Personally, I wouldn’t lend him an umbrella." My Swamp Notes on why Musk's China admiration is about more than Tesla's bottom line. He wants X to become America's WeChat. on.ft.com/438FJQ2

The Trump regime is trying to pressure Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine and force him into exile in France, this is part of an ongoing US / Russia ploy to force a surrender and plunder the country's resources. #StandWithUkraine

#China is preparing for war. #Australia #NewZealand www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

If you ever wondered whether tech companies are deliberately keeping you waiting on their support lines to make you give up your call, we now have proof. Exhibit A: HP Inc www.theregister.com/2025/02/20/h...

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

SCOOP: The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, arguably the nation's most powerful scientific organization, is bending to political pressure and removing terms like "health equity" from pending reports. Members are not happy. Story by me: www.statnews.com/2025/02/20/n...

Even during the #Ming Dynasty, #corruption and #inequalities by corrupt government officials often leads to peasant revolts. These revolt can be very deadly costing millions of lives and destruction of entire villages. When people loses faith in government they became outlaws and bandits.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

In a peaceful but tense meeting of its central committee, the leadership of Hong Kong’s Democratic Party has backed a motion to dissolve, with a final decision to be made sometime in the future by its 400 members www.scmp.com/news/hong-ko...

Meta reduces stock options for staff despite trading at record highs, FT reports

I like the realistic portrayal of life of a typical peasant during ancient #China (short, horrible with plenty of suffering/violence, disease, war, starvation). The standard of living in the 21st century has massively improved that people have forgotten/taken for granted how good we really have it.

Interesting show. A college dude from modern #China travels back in time to the fictional Danzhu Dynasty (similar to the Ming Dynasty) and tries to help improve the lives of people living in that era. Series is based on the manhwa "Reincarnated Marquis". www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202406/27/...
