This is also what happens to pregnant women and their babies when they fall for snake-oil treatments for preeclampsia.

Nature bats last.
The physical world still exists and eventually ideas formed in the mass hallucination chamber of social media will collide with it, even for the people in the grips of the hallucinations. And when that happens a lot of people will die.

This angle shows Trump’s ICE agent standing on the side of the vehicle and firing into the open window at the driver. This was murder.

It cannot be stressed enough that this is the moderate position.
Abolishing ICE is not enough. All of DHS needs to be ripped out by the roots. Dissolve CBP and ICE completely, and move TSA, Secret Service, FEMA, and the Coast Guard to other agencies.

I am going to kindly share, as a Black person used to dodging these types of things, if you have your settings set to autoplay video, today is a great day to turn them off. You can be very informed without having to witness murder.

The video shows ICE agents removing the woman's body from the car & carrying her down the road, no ambulance. An onlooker tried to approach to help, identified himself as a doctor & ICE pointed guns at him.

it's to say "this is their thing, we want to talk about cheap borger, it's not our fault we're talking about this dumb thing you don't care about, that's on them"

this is not a well-adapted strategy to message to the base on Bluesky, but it's what they're doing

Peterson continues:

"– Plato invented the very idea of ​​a university. No one can claim that Plato is so dangerous that we dare not talk about him. Generations after generations have read Plato, learned from Plato, and found his perspectives worth studying."

Interview with Swedish philosophy professor Martin Peterson who can't teach Plato at Texas A&M:

"I have chosen texts by Plato with some care, which I know discuss, e.g. homosexuality.

But it's Plato. It is of course completely absurd that a philosophy institution would not let anyone teach Plato."

I just left the Venezuela briefing.

It's worse than you thought.

Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people.

We need public Senate hearings NOW.

Whitehead once wrote 'the safest general characterization of the european philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato', but it's often forgotten that the full quote concludes 'which is kinda gay actually'

"there are folks who think feudalism and colonialism are the future so long as they're enabled by AI and crypto, that eugenics is a good idea that just got a bad rap, that if you're smart enough you can cheat death, and that most people are too dumb to know they're serfs."
Greenland is back in the news so I am compelled to remind folks that while yes, there are rare earth minerals there, the tech weirdos who have infiltrated the government have also been obsessed with Greenland as part of their network state plan for a long time.

Remember: Federal officials do not enjoy categorical, absolute immunity from state-level prosecutions. They are entitled to removal to federal court. But conduct that is unreasonable or unnecessary for the execution of their law enforcement duties is susceptible to criminal prosecution.
