Leavitt says they’ve begun flying deportees to Guantanamo Bay. This is functionally disappearing human beings. There is no consular access to Guantanamo, making it nearly impossible for those held there to be represented by their governments. There is virtually no media access, either.

This emerging movement must have a clear political orientation. The Dems are waiting in the wings to intervene—only to shut these protests down, talk “left” & divert opposition into dead-end promises of reform. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

At some point in the near future, I’ll just set up whatever kind of Fediverse-to-Bluesky bridge exists to keep tabs on the few Mastodon folks that I'd really miss and abandon Mastodon otherwise. The vibe here is so much better.

#Bitcoin has no intrinsic value, but is of a speculative character. It has “value” because it is eagerly sought after, and it is eagerly sought after because it is regarded as having “value.” www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

My feeds are full of "we are all we have" and if you truly believe that, I need you to get serious about who you abandoned bc democrats told you that the pandemic was over. Wearing a mask is one of the most immediate material actions you can take to protect yourself and your communities—do it.

It's hard to not sound like a crotchety old man with this post, but I am still astonished by people who say words without looking for things. So many people in the comments of my pinball videos say they want to get their hands on the schematic. Have they tried searching "aztec pinball schematic?"

I don't know who needs to hear this (that's a lie: ~80% of drivers) but when you're in a turn lane or an exit only lane, you should still signal to confirm to those around you that you are aware of the lane you're in and where it's about to go.

People who are disabled, chronically ill, higher risk etc. have every right to be angry about being abandoned by multiple governments. And they have every right to express that anger in whichever way they choose. Period. We should all humbly listen to them and act.

A reminder it is olive season and West Bank settlers are burning Palestinian olive trees as we speak while the IOF are taking Palestinian farmers hostage or barring them from their land. And nobody has even mentioned the livestock Palestinian farmers are struggling to protect from settler attacks.

“We’re still experiencing 617 deaths per week right now, which is a lot of people. The people who are dying are more likely to be those who are at higher risk and are immunocompromised. That doesn’t mean it can’t happen to anyone—there are rare cases we shouldn’t ignore.” Stunning phrasing.
