If Trump wasn't working for America's enemies, what would he be doing differently?

Polymarket Iran Bets Hit $529 Million as New Wallets Draw Notice As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket β€” where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes β€” were cashing in. Almost immediately, blockchai...

We don't allow players to place bets on their own games but we're allowing national security advisers to place bets on literal wars.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

All of the doctors involved with Jeffrey Epstein should be prosecuted to the fullest and lose their medical licenses, we as a profession must insist on this

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as β€œthe adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear β€” war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions

We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

I Caught POLITICO and the New York Times Laundering Pink Slime "News" How the sexist backlash to AOC and Gretchen Whitmer at the Munich Security Conference led me to a scammy "local news" outlet pushing a coordinated right-wing narrative

This is an excellent discussion of how high-profile news outlets launder propaganda from (often right-wing) slop factories into mainstream conventional wisdom. spinclass.substack.com/p/spin-class...

"Musk's victims will not be killed by bomb or bullet. His holocaust will be invisible, found in the increased death rate of this year's famine or disease outbreak.

What are they to us other than famine and refugee camps, disease and death? What more do we expect from them except to die?"

"Like a child, Musk absolutely refused to believe that there might be negative consequences from his actions.

...At the time of this writing, it estimates over 215,000 adults and 445,000 children are dead due to the funding cuts."

What Elon Has Done Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has faded from public consciousness in America, despite leaving death and destruction in its wake.

"the largest act of mass murder of this decade, and of this century so far, was not perpetrated by militaries or militias, but by the world's richest man in Washington D.C.'s Eisenhower Executive Office Building."

I don’t think it really is! I think sportsmanlike conduct in the US is generally considered to include being a gracious winner. Celebration can include a little braggadocio, and maybe that’s more accepted in the US than in Canada, but even the NFL gives penalties for β€œexcessive celebration.”

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Another thing to add to the Dem platform: all of these contracts were plainly procured through fraud, not one of them will be honored, and all culpable parties will be prosecuted.

This isn't a "radical" demand, it's the bare minimum required to re-establish the rule of law.

In 1924, Calvin Coolidge’s son got a blister while playing tennis and it got infected, and he developed sepsis and died. A blister killed an otherwise perfectly healthy 18-year old in about a week.

It is so dehumanizing and violating to produce imitations of people’s voices without their affirmative consent. That shouldn’t even be legal, and even with user consent it should be opt-in and not opt-out.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

if a writer who knows everything there is to know about AI and how to use can make a fuck up like this (using AI generated quotes in an article), then that's a fairly good example of why AI abstinence is a good idea

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.

i think this is what drives me nuts. people talk about how, say, the UN was founded by "starry eyed idealists" who didn't understand "reality." the truth is that the UN was founded by those who had just fought and *won* the bloodiest war in human history.
