May all beings be free, safe and protected, and know peace and joy! We need to wake up and rise up for the wellbeing of all living beings and act from the wisdom of inter-being to dislodge the fascist capture of the US government.

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

SULLIVAN: We weren't supposed to get these questions beforehand, were we? MODERATOR: No, neither one of you got questions beforehand PELTOLA: I'm prepared!

Republican farmer who voted for Trump twice: “I’ve hurt more under Trump than I have any other president… Trump promised to help the farmers. Instead fuel and beef prices are crushing us and he’s cutting our throat.”

Now that the scale of Trump's betrayal is becoming clear even in places like Mahoning County, it's kind of perfect that Trump now hates Bruce Springsteen (who famously sang about Youngstown) for telling the truth about how badly he screwed working people. I get into this irony a bit here:

Mahoning is where Trump famously told people not to sell their houses, because he'd bring manufacturing back. Then the Lordstown plant closed. It's the place Bruce Springsteen sang about. If Dems can flip it, then it should be a touchstone for Trumpism's demise. newrepublic.com/article/2167...

It’s also very “Marie Antoinette-let them eat cake” in this economy to unveil something so obviously not for the masses that are struggling with affordability of anything, much less a car.

Except he didn't fund it, I did, paying a much higher tax rate than the white supremacist. Those thrusters are SpaceX tech for which we—not him—have paid ~$31 billion. I paid for those cold gas thrusters and the software running them, and what I get in exchange is a short video and white supremacy.

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

We need to do an experiment where we take the words of Andreessen, Thiel, Yarvin, and Vance...but attribute them to Hasan Piker. There would be a media frenzy...until they realized who had actually said those things.

The mainstream press keeps giving people a sanitized version of reality when it comes to the derangement of the tech billionaire class. But don't worry—I've got you covered: The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy—a New York Times Bestseller! bookshop.org/a/109206/978...

Interesting but sane-washed piece on Marc Andreessen. You can't leave out his friendship with Yarvin and the fact that his manifesto cited fascists as saints. The Andreessen story is about radicalization, not deregulation. gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Why Is Tech Billionaire Marc Andreessen So Mad?

The prominent investor has said the Biden administration pushed him to the political right, but sources say his grievances don’t always match reality.
