@CardChaseFun Absolutely disgusting behavior

"Gaza Strip is now experiencing one of the largest collective psychological disasters in modern history.... the effects of the war are no longer limited to the dead and wounded but have extended to the psychological structure of society as a whole, especially children."

“They say that Spain is alone. They said the same when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. We are not alone. We are the first. Those defending the indefensible will be the ones left alone.”

@NewsWire_US They literally got on national US media and said this, again, the same day he later bombed them.

I am not shocked or sad that, yet again, big dumb money and special interest completely fails to have any understanding or pulse on the gaming community despite decades of examples of this happening over, and over, and over

Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth:

“Terrorist regimes target civilians, we do not.”

According to UNICEF the U.S. has already hit 20 schools, 10 hospitals, and killed over 1,300 civilians including 300 children.

So by Hegseth’s own logic the U.S. is a terrorist regime.

@spectatorindex This admin just doesn’t even try to make you read between the lines any more. They basically just flat out say what they want every time, and this time, it’s to manufacture consent to keep this thing going another 20 years and bleed the US dry. But hey, GDP will go up, so, yay.

@RepNancyMace The politicized, calculated, and institutionalized extremist hatred seething inside of people like you in Christianity has brought far, far more death, destruction, misery and fear to this world than the cries of any radicalized Islamist, for close to two-thousand years

The Lancet recently published a study which found that sanctions from the US have caused 38 million deaths since 1970. The average death toll ranges from 400,000 to over 1 million per year.

@saikatc It was a really refreshing interview. So nice to experience someone who could effectively and genuinely interact with Hasan as well as stream, and have a worldview (along with demonstrable ways to achieve it) that was clearly and effectively communicated at all points.

KOSA will end all free speech on the internet as we know it.

Elites are forcing this law through Congress.

The only way to stop it is if YOU act.

@KyleKulinski $1B a day domestically could feed every child under 18 nutritious breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks and still have ~$500M left over

@pelositracker There were valid reasons for some of the No votes:

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The idea is good but the text itself was rushed and not thought through. It violated a lot of standard practices to protect survivors and due process:

1. It also released documents related to allegations found to be false or unsubstantiated, not just verified violations or settlements. So innocent people would get lumped in with violators.

2. To our knowledge, there was zero victim consent or consultation on this text. That is very different than with Epstein, where victims are centered and consulted at every step. Here, victims offered all their statements with the promise of protection and anonymity. The text gave them no way to have a voice in what information of theirs or their accounts they wanted public or keep private. That is important because…

3. Although there was a throwaway line about redacting victim names, I do believe full witness or victim statements would have been released. With the way employment at the House works (offices are small, time periods of staff employment are publicly disclosed, etc) it means that even with names redacted you can definitely track details in witness statements and use that to ID victims without their consent. And there was zero mechanism for victims themselves to assert their privacy.

Originally we were supposed to debate the details of the text over two days but for some reason they rushed the vote so we couldn’t iron out any of these details to get this information properly disclosed in a way that guarantees victim safety.

If the text was clean I think you’d get a lot more support. As a survivor, I know why the vast majority of women never report at all and a lot of those reasons, even if unintentionally or inadvertently, were included here. For me at least, guaranteeing the safety and agency of victims and survivors would get me to a YES.

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

In 2019, the State of New Mexico launched an investigation of Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, then the Trump 1 Justice Department demanded the state stop and turn it over to the feds. The probe then fizzled. Awesome reporting from @ReisThebault https://t.co/CGQeZh3olo via @NYTimes
