one promise the cyberpunk future failed to deliver on is multinational corporations murdering each other en masse (and plenty of good paying jobs murdering corporate suits). would be a lot better if these guys were actually thinning out their ranks instead of banding together

During the first war on terror there was this rogue public housing administrator in a rural county in Kentucky (canโ€™t remember which) who kept on calling the INS (prior to the HSA that made ICE) on Latino friends of his tenants because they might be sleeper cells

There is exactly one generation that can rotate a pdf and there will never be another. The knowledge dies with us.

โ€œFund the policeโ€ was Bidenโ€™s *applause* line in his first joint address to Congress. It was written to echo LBJ saying โ€œwe shall overcomeโ€ in his joint address as a lifeline to a movement under attack. I really donโ€™t bring it up enough.

Despite almost nonexistent evidence against the defendants, the government chose to indict them for a claimed โ€œspontaneous conspiracy,โ€ a felony. The one commonality among these four defendants is that via social media platforms and public statements they were all outspoken critics of the Trump Administration. They all specifically vocalized their criticism of Operation Midway Blitz and the violence perpetrated by federal agents at the Broadview Facility and elsewhere.7 Perhaps most salient, all four defendants who remain charged in this case are Democrats who either hold public office (Messrs. Rabbit and Straw), is a candidate for public office (congressional candidate, Ms. Abughazaleh), or works for the Democratic Congressional campaign (Mr. Martin). Notably, of the two defendants the government has dismissed from the indictment, one did not hold and did not seek public office (Ms. Walsh) and other withdrew her candidacy for public office as a direct result of her being charged in this case (Ms. Sharp).

"The one commonality among these four defendants is that via social media platforms and public statements they were all outspoken critics of the Trump Administration."

They also note dismissed defendant Cat Sharp "withdrew her candidacy for public office as a direct result of her being charged."

(Obviously being atheist or a religious skeptic is a fine and good thing to be. It's just worth pointing out that like most genocidal fascists, Netanyahu is a hypocrite who doesn't actually believe his own sales pitch.

Oh by the way, Benjamin Netanyahu is rather famously an atheist who doesn't practice Judaism religiously in any meaningful way and cosplays as an observant man for the cameras during campaign season.
