No one is safe from this administration.

No matter where you are or who you are, under a fascist regime, you're not safe.

They could take your money, your house, your kids, your freedom...they could take your life!

They're tracking us right now!

Is this freedom?

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Donald Trump is a decades-long, ongoing, severe drug abuser (Cocaine & Adderall).There's oodles of witnesses as well as direct and indirect evidence. It's been known for years. Why TF is no one talking about that – esp. in the face of Hegseth's posturing re Venezuela & Juan Orlando Hernandez pardon?

The folks at Fox News blamed the attack on two National Guard troops in Washington DC on Democrats even though it is highly unlikely that the shooter shared their political views. Many Dems have said National Guard troops should never have been used in a law enforcement role.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The focus is on “drug boat” strikes, but there are competing justifications for escalating military action against Venezuela — “cartels”, oil, bravado, liberation

As for me, I am not a pessimist of any kind. And these tech bros are not optimists. They are autocratic extractionists and I’m against that.
When I’m accused of “technopessimism“ I counter that I’m not “pessimistic about technology“; I am opposed to the economic, political, and social project of upward wealth transfer that “AI” is being leveraged to bring about. If that phrasing is useful to others, then go ahead and use it.
