It's funny that Musk wants to sue @RoKhanna over his speech because:
1) Musk claimed to be a free speech champion and absolutist, which of course he isn't.
2) Khanna simply linked to an academic study of deaths from USAID cuts, which Musk presided over.
3) Musk just called Khanna a "robber" and an "insider trader" which is way more defamatory and actionable under US libel law as statement of (false) facts, so maybe it's time for Khanna to sue Musk.
Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his grandparents used to live in this house and now he won't leave.
My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave.
They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don't even care about his religion, I just don't like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff.
"The poor guy just wants one room to call his own," his friends say in his defense. "You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That's kind of bigoted and evil."
He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it's understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don't hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us.
And what's weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I'm coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he's been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It's like there's a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue.
It's having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy's being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It's really unfair.
Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he'd never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends claim I'm saying the guy should be exterminated and try to get me in trouble.
It's a real mess, man.
That guy sucks.
Tell yourself whatever eases your conscience, but here’s the truth as to what we are doing to our children and I for one I am really sick and tired of people not taking notice and making changes. Breaks my heart.
My grandad had an entire double garage full of newspapers from about 1937- 1947 because he knew that after the war, everyone would pretend they'd never known what the Nazis had been doing to Jews and he was determined to prove that actually everyone knew.
Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United.
Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.
Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.
🚩You have to watch this!🚩There are children testing positive for pregnancy in detention facilities!!!!
This is the reddest of red flags!!!!!!!!
MAGA = PEDO
This is US imperialism.
Our president and government send working class people overseas to kill other people’s children & loot other countries’ oil all to enrich the billionaire class.
Then they return in caskets.
It doesn’t make America great. It makes America an Evil Empire.
Trump said there are over 1,700 Iranian terrorist cells currently inside the United States but don't worry folks, ICE is down at Home Depot arresting some landscapers right now
This is ABSOLUTELY DISPICABLE—Trump on Iran:
“They’re just bad. Their genetics are not the same as yours. It’s a terrible thing.”
The President of the United States just attacked the genetics of a nation of 90 million people, which he is actively bombing.
This is not frustration. This is not hyperbole.
This is a deliberate rhetorical framework.
Dehumanization through genetics has a specific history.
It preceded every mass atrocity of the 20th century. Rwanda. Bosnia. Nazi Germany. The language always comes before the bodies.
First, you question their humanity.
Then you question their right to exist.
Then the bombs already falling become easier to justify.
Trump has threatened to erase Iran as a nation.
His Defense Secretary called this just the beginning.
175 schoolgirls are already dead.
14 Americans are already dead.
A Marine Expeditionary Unit is already deployed.
And the President is now attacking Iranian genetics on camera.
Historians will mark this moment.
Israel and the US never seem to think about the fact that hundreds of thousands of children across the Middle East have now watched their parents and siblings die in the most horrific ways imaginable.
And every single one of them will remember who did it.
A U.S. veteran has the ultimate realization:
“20 years ago I participated in the War on Terror & today I'm having to come to terms with the realization that I was the terrorist.”
