Former libertarian gone liberal. Melodic death metal, anti-extremism, and more. Personal account, all disclaimers apply. I don't want to behold metaphysics, I want to finish my sandwich.

Lorenzo was 52. Joan was 26. Both fathers, killed by ICE. We have no body camera footage from either case because neither agent had one on. Secretary Mullin had months to fix that. At what point does "working on it" become "doesn't want the American people to see the truth"?

Fear not. The U.S. Army has begun implementing a COIN strategy to combat the unchecked growth of algae. We need to separate the radical algae from the broader population of water through targeted raids on algae blooms and civil construction projects to build up the reflecting pool’s capacity.

“Everyone, especially in South Sudan, wanted to know if the US really had cut off aid. It was easier for them to believe that the aid organizations were lying to them than to think that the United States would do this.”

Trump destroyed USAID. Now people are dying.

ProPublica’s Brett Murphy and Anna Maria Barry-Jester examine how America’s foreign aid cuts are threatening the survival of the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

it is really disturbing how effective the Iranian propaganda is, especially because we lost so much valuable time and energy obsessing over deepfake this, deepfake that. This shit is using animated Lego figures

We cannot minimize and normalize genocidal rhetoric as "some colorful language." It'll numb and inure us, undermining our capacity to make proper moral distinctions, engage in moral reasoning itself. @mattjj89.bsky.social at @theunpopulist.net open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

America Needs to Impeach Trump For its Own Moral Health

Even an unsuccessful effort will show that many Americans reject threats of genocide to win a war

Americans, this is going to sound like a meme, but please get the Dems to explicitly announce that Alberta will not get any deal from the US should they seperate and/or be annexed

The use of the word “attacked” in this headline is stunningly irresponsible. If you read other, less click-bait accounts of this incident: it was alleged drone *sightings*. And I remain VERY unconvinced sightings like these are even drones, instead of “jumpy people getting confused.”

Yikes, here's a HUGE story that it seems not enough folks are reporting on yet. Drone swarms of unknown origin this month apparently attacked an important Air Force base—"the first time a US airbase was temporarily put out of operation in wartime, something that never happened even in World War II."
