Call your Senators!! Especially if they are republicans!

The #SAVEAct is nothing but a tool to disenfranchise Married Women and the few supportive men who took their Wives’ names.

How long would it take to process change of name forms in the SocSec office? Will there be enough time if they pass this in Spring or Summer? For over 68.45 million people?

THIS IS 👇 HOW IT'S DONE.......

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

EVERY. SINGLE. FORKING. TIME.

On March 4, a U.S. sub torpedoed the IRIS Dena. Of 180 aboard, 87 died and 61 are missing; Sri Lanka rescued 32.

Sinking a ship that was someone's guest, that was following peacetime protocols, that couldn't fight back. Then leaving sailors to drown thousands of miles from home. That’s a war crime.

CBS has died, a well deserved death.
@cbsnews.com fucking disgraceful coverage.

Fuck you.

Speaking about propaganda….

This post illustrates the concept👇🏼

And how the corporate media no longer serves the public, but are just lackeys for the Rich Class point of view; whose kids won’t serve a day.

I am saving this to discuss propaganda with my 14 yo, he’s never been instructed formally on it, like us GenX-ers.

Marketing, ie “how to not buy an item hyperbolic marketing” as a money skill; but never to question the actual word choice and why news orgs they chose one word over another.

Three days ago, OpenAI said its AI wouldn’t be used for mass surveillance, autonomous weapons, or “social credit” systems.

Today, Sam Altman told his staff thag OpenAI cannot control how the Pentagon uses its AI.

We cannot rely on the morality of companies to protect our freedom.

Sam Altman admits OpenAI can’t control Pentagon’s use of AI | Technology | The Guardian CEO’s claims come amid increased scrutiny of US military’s use of the technology and ethics concerns from AI workers

“You do not get to make operational decisions,” Altman told employees.

“So maybe you think the Iran strike was good and the Venezuela invasion was bad. You don’t get to weigh in on that.”

My critical thinking skills class & my 70’s anti (USSR) propaganda teacher gave me lessons beyond measure.
This post is the penultimate in being able to see through bias in news.
The peeps w/ upgraded radar for these linguistic devices are usually women & POC, who recognize backhanded “compliments”.

when i was 13, a teacher decided to devote some weekly time to deconstruct advertisements and media messaging

an absolute epiphany

she would give us a page ripped from a magazine, and ask us to analyse the advert to the class

her lessons on this topic changed my life - wish i could thank her now

>Keir Starmer feels like a big man with a war boner
>shoots his mouth off about how we're going to use UK bases for US strikes against Iran
>British military base on Cyprus immediately gets drone bombed
>Cypriot government summon the UK defence minister to ask him excuse me what the fuck

Senate Republicans voted down an effort Wednesday to halt President Donald Trump’s war against Iran, demonstrating early support for a conflict that has rapidly spread across the Middle East with no clear U.S. exit strategy.

The legislation, known as a war powers resolution, failed on a 47-53 vote tally. The vote fell mostly along party lines, though Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted in favor and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted against.

This is why we are in Iran. This is why he attacked Venezuela. This is why he is threatening Cuba.

All of his foolishness is a distraction. Release the Epstein Files!

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

🤬🤮

i mean, whats to be glad about? whats gonna happen? the marine will be charged with a crime but the politician who interfered and assaulted him wont be. the fascists dont care that its recorded, its just a celebration of their abuses & impunity. we need a lot more bravery.

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone]

What the Actual Fuck.

Different angle, showing the lead-up:

Every Democrat should be saying right now that we are only going to war with Iran because Trump raped kids with Epstein.

I support your organizing but not your protest.

I dont wanna see Black americans in any street during these tumultuous times.

Id prefer yall flood townhalls cause at least they cant commit brutality openly.

Protest people that voted for trmp instead.

Dont be in the street.

Sadboi MF: I’ll never find a girl as freaky as me cuz I like to [lists extremely predictable and noncontroversial sexual activities that anyone who has seen porn will yawn at]

Me (badly suppressing laughter): Women be doin all that, just not with YOU.

🤣

Something for the patriotic left to chew on.
