Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel “has no choice but to finish the job and complete the defeat of Hamas.”

You could literally not finish the job, permanently cease fire, and stop the genocide.

Idk why anyone still tries to meet racism with empathy and respect. They don’t respect you. Punch them in the mouth. Be rude and hostile. The fuck they gonna do? Hate black people more? 🙄

Anyway, when all of this started, I kept saying that you have to always look at these new technologies through the contempt that the tech world has for labor, and their campaign to destroy anything they can get their hands on for a bit more money. Human deskilling, not flourishing, is their goal.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.

But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.

Miss me with this bs.

14 days in and Trump/Musk are musing about deporting US citizens, even US citizens born & raised in US to US citizens, to foreign penal colonies. Amazing how quickly deportation plans went from undocumented criminals to anyone.
“AP: Rubio says El Salvador offers to accept deportees from US of any nationality, including Americans” Honestly still just staring at my phone in disbelief. apnews.com/article/migr...

Rupert Murdoch went to see Donald Trump in the Oval Office today and then the New York Post editorial board said RFK Jr. is "not fit to lead a key federal health agency" afterwards.

Every lawyer who signs their name to a brief or pleading arguing the president can cancel birthright citizenship by executive order should be disbarred. I'm dead serious.
In a disgraceful act betraying millions of their own residents, Iowa, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming all write to oppose birthright citizenship.

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.

She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

They are not following the rule of law guys, are you living under a rock? This will 100% happen and no one will stop it because they won't deport white American citizens. They’ll deport everyone else. They are not playing by your rules! Wake up! 🤡🤡🤡
Okay, but that's not a thing. I don't care what Bukele says, they cannot deport Americans. And I'm glad the AP didn't mince words or say something mealy-mouthed. It just is not legal under any law or any reading of any law or any even weird little quirk of any law. It's not a thing.

It's incredible how someone like me, a small-shot attorney, would get fined or scorned in court if I ever submitted trash like this… but these folks can submit this bs brief to SCOTUS, and nothing will happen.

Reminder that Trump can commit virtually any crime as president right now and be protected by the Supreme Court's immunity decision. No incentive to follow the law - he can openly tell people to violate it and promise to pardon them from federal charges.

Contrary to some info I've seen, 19-yr-old Doge staffer "BigBalls" Edward Coristine did not delete his X account, it's just renamed and is private.
