if you wind back the clock a year and say “trump will be president, he’ll tear up entire agencies without any legislative authority, ignore court orders, build a concentration camp, and send troops into multiple US cities” you wouldn’t ask “well how many troops?” before deciding what this describes

I do not like the Clintons, however I would like to point out that there was an uproar when they took $190,000 worth of gifts from the White House at the end of the administration, based on confusion (according to them) as to whether they were gifts to the government or the president.
UPDATE: @SenatorHagerty and the Republicans just voted to let Trump take the Qatari jet with him when he leaves office.

Insane corruption. There is no bottom.

please read this painful, beautiful testimony I’m trying not to be a nag but it arrived on my TL below some editorial being shared for rage bait and like. we could share things like this instead. not “we can do both” miss me with that. trash smell will always overpower what’s good when we “do both”

For 15 years, I watched brilliant and caring people desperately attempt to avert the privacy and data security apocalypse that’s upon us - which has now been massively exacerbated by dumbass-enabling AI tools.

They did their best, not enough people listened, and now, well, God help us all.
We are going to spend the next few years finding out exactly *why* it was a horrible idea to unleash a tsunami of vibe-coded apps made by idiots and scammers on an unprepared world.

An intentional, avoidable mass starvation event is happening in the context of an ongoing genocide and not only is the US not doing anything to stop it, we are actively enabling it, both materially by continuing to fund and arm Israel and also by silencing protest here. www.bbc.com/news/article...
More than 100 humanitarian groups warn of mass starvation in Gaza
A joint statement says the Israeli government's "siege" has left aid supplies "totally depleted".

“The workers refuse to be “accomplices to the genocide…”
A militant mobilization by dockworkers at Greece’s Port of Piraeus prevented the trans-shipment of military grade steel destined for Israel & expected to be used in the genocidal war on Gaza.

The dockworkers refuse to be “accomplices to the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

I'm avoiding reposting graphic images but I do want to record for posterity: we are watching a people being deliberately starved in real time and the best our governments have to offer are "stern words": humanity has lost, the monsters are in charge.

“I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.” The last journalists remaining in Gaza are near death from forced starvation. There is enough food at the border to feed the entire population for 3 months. This is genocide.
A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency.

"Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die"

I’ve been sick all week with Covid. It’s a mild case, probably milder than what I had back in 2022. But I’m mad about getting it and being a baby about being sick.

But at the same time I’m enjoying having a week to just be and my jaw and tongue have been so relaxed for the first time in years.

The enemy is white supremacy & we all need tools to be better in solidarity with one another.

Antisemitism is one of the most insidious & hard to see, by design— the people in power WANT it to feel slippery, hard to name.

It’s different from most other oppressions in many ways. Again: by design.

Gotta get the history to know where the tropes live in the discourse today.
