The faces of the children from the Warsaw ghetto haunt us through the years. Remember these children. They are being deliberately killed now by the terror state of Israel.
There is no pretending any more. The genocide is being perpetrated. The world is complicit through our silence.

As reported last week, Trump is going to kill Head Start, utterly screwing 750,000 children who rely on it for child care and preschool and a million parents who count on it to stay in the workforce.

Why crash the economy? CONTROL.

Yarvin: "No, this is not the right way to run the whole economy permanently... But.. it is the right way to reboot the economy. Flattening the financial system this way makes it much easier to control crime, of course—and also, any kind of antigovernment activity."

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...
