The British starved to death 4 million Indians (loyal colonial subjects) in 1943 in #Bengal as they diverted all the food to the allies during World War2.

Churchill, who knowingly caused the famine told the Secretary of State for India, Leopold Amery: "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion." The famine was their own fault, he declared at a war-cabinet meeting, for "breeding like rabbits."

Today the same British are starving Yemen population by Naval food embargo on #Yemen
if you don't read history you will not understand the meaning of hypocrisy

Kinda insane that this entire debacle was potentially caused by @ByrneHobart's newsletter. Here's how the butterfly effect happened.

1) Byrne posts this article/Tweet calling out SVB's risk.
2) Pretty much every VC I know reads this newsletter
3) They all start to pay very, very close attention to SVB earnings
4) Absolutely massive earnings miss by SVB
5) Peter Thiel, USV, and Coatue are first to send out messages/mass emails to portfolio co's to pull out funds
6) Tech Twitter catches word of this
7) Bank Run
8) Collapse
9) If FDIC/Buyer doesn't come in, in the next 7 days, potential 20%+ collapse of entire startup industry.

All started by one overly prolific dude in Austin. Amazing.

BREAKING: Racist Senator Tom Cotton just attacked AG Garland for prosecuting crack cocaine crimes as if they are powder cocaine crimes.

Science has proven that the drugs are essentially the same. The only main difference is that more Black Americans are arrested for crack cocaine possession and more white people are arrested for power cocaine crimes.

Republicans and in the past, even some Democrats believed that Crack cocaine penalties should be higher than Powder Cocaine penalties. Science now shows that this is a racist law.

It's a long standing standard in the DOJ that the DOJ can decide what crimes to charge. This is not going against Congress's legislation. The next Attorney General could change this standard.

Republicans just like to see Black people locked up longer than White people for doing cocaine.

Kenosha Police on Sunday were investigating an incident following a social media video post that allegedly shows someone appearing to urinate on and damage a Waukesha woman's driver’s license after she left it at a Kenosha car lot Saturday afternoon. https://t.co/m4oXpBn1Nb

A Black lady went to test drive a car and she had to leave her driver's license there while she drove it (standard practice). She didn't end up buying the car and this is what the salesmen decided to do.

Just thinking about all those "qualified" people who gave us the war in Viet Nam, the War in Iraq, 20 years too long (of failing) in Afghanistan, didn't care - or didn't have the spine - to give Americans what the citizens of every other advanced democracy have: universal health care, free college, paid maternity/paternity leave, free child care and a guaranteed livable wage.

I mean, they've done such a bang up job and all.

Over the last 48 years, $50 trillion has been transferred from the bottom 90 percent of Americans to the top one percent.

The idea that only those whose careers have been entrenched in a system that drove us into that ditch should possibly be considered "qualified" to lead us out of it is preposterous.

We don't need to respect such a system; we need to disrupt it.

BREAKING: New lawsuit says Norfolk rail's outrageous decision to detonate 1 million tons of cancer-causing vinyl chloride in Ohio created a new chemical warfare gas so deadly it is outlawed by the Geneva Convention.

EPA has not tested for this new gas.

The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, is trying to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.

So the eight biggest unions across the country called a massive wave of strikes and protests today, with over 200 actions across the country.

And then they did it. They killed him in broad daylight. If you believe defund is too radical, explain how police killed more people than ever before in 2022. And why you’re not willing to take action to stop them.

Just listened to a podcast about a case of a man being falsely convicted of raping and killing a 4 year old girl. He was sentenced to death, and his new lawyers succeeded in arguing ineffective counsel before the federal appeals court. Guess what happened?

Don’t talk to police. If you are going to say words to police, they should only be “I want to speak to a lawyer.” That invokes your right to silence under both the Fifth & Sixth Amendments. All questioning must cease. Don’t talk to police. If you are going to say words to police,
