In a keynote at the Munich Security Conference on Feb. 14, US Sec. of State Marco Rubio blamed the UN for failing to “solve the war in Gaza,” claiming it ultimately played “virtually no role” in “freeing captives from barbarians.”

He did not mention that the US was the sole dissenting veto on 6...

I just found out about this it makes me so happy because Sennua is one of the most heart-rending performances in video game history.

I started this game before I got locked up and it resonated with me for obvious reasons. I just now 8 years later finished it. Breathtaking. #Hellblade #mentalhealth

#LPOTL is doing an exposé on the #DuPont family right now. It’s well-done #requiredreading to understand just how profiteering and amoral wealth consolidation are endemic to American capitalism

The cartoonish villains this administration has become are just the apparatchiks of an evil old as time.

The NBC exposé was bad.

This is worse.

Please, whatever your plans were for this weekend, help make President’s Day great again by taking to the fucking streets and letting the bastards know they’re outnumbered and out of pretenses, that this has to stop now.

#ICE #Dilley #8A #nowarbutclasswar
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

You can do as many -90% sales as you want, #Ubisoft. I still won’t buy another product.

Ditch the launcher,
ditch yr C-suite,
accept a collective bargaining agreement,
make a quality product w/ 0 in-game monetization,
& we’ll talk. #boycott

Can’t wait for the next #ubisoftrefugees to outsell Ubi.

If you skeet this post while it’s playing you get to hear #JeremyCarl trip over his total lack of a cohesive ideology (actual #racism notwithstanding) as he trips over same and it becomes twice as entertaining.

#TrumpRx, the #Trump administration’s crowning achievement in #healthcare used to justify hundreds of billions in #Medicaid cuts, is just #GoodRx and manufacturer PCP coupons in a glitzy, gold-plated package.

The net savings on most medications? $0. Many cost far more than they do outside the U.S.

It took me months, about 495 rides, recovering from a shattered right foot and hacking a folding scooter, but I finally own a Nintendo Switch 2 using points obtained from Citi Bike. Afterwards, it left me questioning the very nature of work. For @aftermath.site.

Fucking subbed. As a veteran of the infamous RVA Bird rollout & the Lime salad days when all the bootstrap bros w/ kitted-out charging vans had gone bust but an honest foot soldier with an eye for outlets & a liberal definition of “private property” could make their nut, this is the perfect article.

Honestly, growing up & well into adulthood I rejected #Marx as an idealist whose conclusion begat his arguments. I believe that the national debt, income inequality, & our climate are existential concerns. But the farther we fall into our #latestagecapitalism death spiral the more sense he makes.

If we really are a #Christian nation like they (incorrectly) assert, we ought to act like it.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

The “niceties” that President Trump’s advisers disparage, Leighton Woodhouse writes in a guest essay, “are the values of Christianity, the faith the Trump administration purports to defend and uphold.”

The president is returning to an ancient world, before morality mattered and when human actions were governed only by power.

Of COURSE it was #CBP. Is anyone really surprised they would fire off a dangerous weapon and endanger the lives of thousands of Americans without telling #ElPaso, the airport, or anybody?

Is anyone surprised the government lied about it & tried to justify more militarization b/c of it? #caususbelli

I’m sitting here playing #AILimit, a Chinese game on a 🇨🇳 🎮, scrolling RedNote on my 🇨🇳 📱 , listening to an #NYT article about “becoming Chinese” as a #TikTok trend in my 🇨🇳 🎧 and I realize with total clarity the #Trump admin has ceded ALL of our soft power to China in a single year.

So to be clear: they fired off an area denial weapon at #FortBliss without telling #ElPaso or ANYONE, then lied about it, then lied again and blamed “cartel drones”, and now they’re just saying it was a test but also it was cartel boogeymen… #caususbelli

Speaking of monopolistic extraction and end-stage capitalism I just deleted #Lyft because after an hour of arguing with a brick wall they both admitted they sent me to the wrong address & told me they wouldn’t credit me the $15 differential.

I spent $200/mo w/ them. Now I don’t—nor should you.

Fuck…I don’t even know why I quoted I think this speaks for itself.

I don’t think I’ve felt this sad since I was myself freed from custody.

This has to stop. Immediately. If a family’s removal is legal both under law and UNCAT, buy them a fucking plane ticket. Otherwise, set them free. Full stop.
Trump’s DHS is detaining thousands of immigrant children across the country in horrifyingly cruel conditions. Kids are being separated from their families, their schools, and their communities. This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. Read their stories: t.co/Kmq0o09Y6X
