And then there’s the story about Alex Karp’s not-at-all-weird interview (for lack of a better word) with Oswald Mosley’s grandson for a senior position at Palantir.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Wait hold up are you suggesting that poor people are poor, not because of a lack of moral character, but rather because they don't have money? That seems far-fetched. We should study it more, very slowly.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

Every day these men breathe free air is an indictment of the idea that the United States has laws.
Reminder that "firing on the shipwrecked" is literally THE example used in the DoD War Manual of "a clearly illegal order"

In case anybody was wondering what "Wikipedia, but less woke" meant
The pilfering, however, is selective. On articles in Wikipedia's "controversial topics" bucket, the differences are far greater.
And that's where Grokipedia disproportionately adds low-quality sources, including Stormfront and InfoWars.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
