I know it’s probably deeply annoying to see Americans go “holy shit, the nakedness of this” after our history of indigenous genocide and global regime change, but what is especially scary about this is that the more recent bullshit alibis at least took some time to drum up and put into place.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Very weird feeling waiting for the president to announce an illegal war based on total bullshit that they made up right in front of our faces on TV, almost like I've lived through this moment before

A key aspect of AI-Chat delusions seems to be a basic relationship people have with technology. If a human started telling you that you'd discovered a new kind of physics you'd probably be a bit skeptical but there's something here where the fact "a computer said it" catapults you into derangement

In addition to the corporations trying to destroy the NLRB and 90 years of labor law, don’t forget a university is also helping, just to fight their own faculty and students.
USC Follows Amazon and Musk’s SpaceX in Calling Labor Board Unconstitutional
To block a union that would represent 2,500 faculty members, the private university echoed a corporate argument.

this is little more than a vendetta being pursued by the federal government against a man it unlawfully removed from the country and was forced to bring back
UPDATE: Hours after Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in Tennessee, Fox News reports that the Trump administration may deport him to Uganda as early as next week.

gotta say i'm surprised we're this far in and no law-abiding firearm owner has caused these masked clowns some problems yet
Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident.
He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

ACAB is putting it lightly, what a bunch of overly sensitive pieces of shit who got no business having any authority. One little insult hurts their feelings and they assault and arrest someone for absolutely nothing. And they wanna call us snowflakes lol
Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.
