Oliver takes a dump on the Schumer-led Democratic demands after Alex Prettiβs shooting β βmasks off, body cams onβ β noting the killers had fucking body cams on, that that footage exists, that it didnβt change shit, and that weβre likely never to see it b/c they were exonerated automatically.
this shit is driving me insane. OpenAI sucks don't get me wrong but Anthropic quite literally supports and provides software for the war in Iran. They are monetizing death and destruction. OpenAI's dumbass strategy of "rushing in to take Anthropic's business" allowed Dario Amodei to lie!
Thumbnail of an Instagram reel. It has a photo of Mark Carney speaking at a podium, edited to appear in front of smoke plumes amid a city. The text reads: "I'm all for international law 'theoretically'".
1/ This is utterly incoherent.
What Canadians need to hear from our Prime Minister right now is simple: call for a ceasefire and immediately withdraw your misguided support for Trump and Netanyahuβs illegal war.

I asked 5 Iranian-American thought leaders what corporate media isn't telling us about this war.
I encourage you to read their responses & support their advocacy.
If there is one unifying thread uniting these voices, it is: war is not liberation, propaganda is not truth, and bombs are not policy.
'B-b-b-b-but how are troops supposed to know their orders are illegal!?' ask the most spineless liberals on the internet.
'Your mission is to cause armageddon and return Jesus to life' is a pretty good indicator.
"I see AI as having applicability across, again, every single tactic that would be relevant to those on-network operations, So it's a game changer in that sense.β
Yeah, the FBI is using AI to hack targets, saying it has "tremendous benefits."
An aerial photo shows three diggers excavating the ground for graves. More than 65 graves are already dug. Those not yet dug are marked out by chalk.
Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it.
The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationβs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnβt let this war do so.
Is it really so hard for Mark Carney to say something like this instead of constantly defending US breaches of international law?
Gaza officials say Israel has allowed in only 14 percent of the aid required by the ceasefire agreement, averaging 89 trucks a day instead of the 600 that were promised to help alleviate the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Greta Thunberg provides the perspective that most western media will not:
Itβs not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.
Itβs about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israelβs flagrant breaches of international law.

What happened after Canadian journalist @rachelgilmore.bsky.social posted about the potential repercussions of Kirkβs murder: doxxing and violent threats thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...
Thousands of X users have posted about Ali Nasrati, a 30 yr old IT tech for Walmart, claiming he made insensitive comments abt Charlie Kirk.
But Nasrati has never posted about Kirk.
Now, he's been suspended from work and forced into hiding. I wrote about people being falsely targeted by the right

I really enjoyed reading @abenanav.bsky.socialβs vision for a new kind of economic system β one where we have more authority over production and more freedom in our lives.
It entails using technology in a very different want, and by extension building it much differently too.
These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?
"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.
