Some of y'all have yelled at people for saying they won't vote for this guyβ€”a man who wants to honor CHARLIE FUCKING KIRK BY CONTINUING "HIS WORK."

Never talk to me about this man again.

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

Bad things are already happening. No amount of Dem grovelling is going to stop the right from continuing what they're already doing.

It doesn't matter if people celebrate or not. Fascists are gonna do what fascists do. They never actually need a real reason.

The deliberate negligence shown by our leaders during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 has proven their utter lack of concern for our collective well-being. In their eyes, we are fully expendable. They have ruthlessly abandoned us to a fate of unrestrained disease and overwhelming harm.

The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., β€œin its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

I'm hoping the transparently disgusting deal made between Epstein's old best friend and his most notorious accomplice is obvious to everyone here.

Read it and excellent analysis. We've basically had a product foisted on us that might be good enough for a few things while being truly damaging to our cognitive abilities and the environment. And we're being rushed into it by a few companies without the slightest thought of the consequences.

An Open Letter from Capital One Associates
Against Genocide
For nearly two years, the world has continued to bear witness to the mass slaughter and blockade of Palestinians in Gaza. While the people of Gaza live-stream their own annihilation, Capital One continues its policy of silence and remains complicit in financing the wanton destruction of the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian people.
As associates of conscience, we call on Capital One to divest from its commercial relationship with Elbit Systems, a deal that provides half a billion dollars of liquidity for this arms dealer (Paling, 2023) whose weapons are used to commit war crimes (International Criminal Court, 2024), along with any other undisclosed weapons manufacturers arming the Israeli regime.
Crimes
Here are just a few of the events of 2025 which should have immediately halted any involvement with the Israeli military:
β€’ On March 23rd, Israeli forces killed and buried in a mass grave 14 emergency responders and a UN worker who were en route to assist civilians (Tondo, 2025). Israel has killed over 1,500 humanitarian workers and first responders since the genocide began (Palestine Chronicle, 2025).
β€’ Starting in March, Israeli authorities began deliberately blocking all humanitarian aid, including food, from entering Gaza, starving the entire population of 2 million people (Shurafa et al., 2025, Amnesty, 2025). Thus far, Israel has starved to death over 200 people, including 100 children (TRT Global, 2025).
β€’ In May, Israel implemented a militarized aid distribution system where they've killed over 1,000 Palestinians, described as "sites of orchestrated killing" (Doctors Without Borders, 2025).
β€’ On August 11, Israel assassinated 6 journalists in Gaza via targeted airstrike on their tent in Al Shifa hospital complex, raising the death toll to 238 journalists killed by Israel in Gaza (Sabbah et al., 2025).
And to our resounding horror, some of the news has special significance for Capital One and introduces …

Throughout the commercial banking relationship with Elbit Systems, Capital One should have been aware of prior allegations of illegal activity by the arms dealer:
β€’ Elbit Systems built the surveillance systems for the separation walls in occupied West Bank (Haaretz, 2002)
declared illegal by the International Court of Justice (UN News, 2004).
β€’ Elbit Systems sold tanks to the Philippine Army (Nepomuceno, 2022) despite accusations of crimes against humanity commited by then-President Rodrigo Duterte and the International Criminal Court investigation that led to his arrest this year (Lema, 2025).
β€’ Elbit Systems' drones were sold to Myanmar's military despite an Israeli arms embargo put in place in response to the genocide of the Rohinyga ethnic minority (Beech, 2021).
Demands
We, the Capital One associates undersigned to this open letter, refuse to be complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza (Amnesty International, 2024). It is our unwavering conviction that we must not profit from crimes against humanity and that doing so introduces significant liability for the company (Pietropaoli, 2024). Capital One must avoid further moral injury and legal risk by severing any commercial relationships which would enable or facilitate violations of international humanitarian law.
We welcome all employees to join our demands that Rich Fairbank and the Executive Committee disclose and divest from any and all weapons manufacturers supplying the Israeli military, beginning with the immediate termination of all financial services to Elbit Systems of America.
SIGN THE LETTER
"Many of us like to ask ourselves, "What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide? The answer is, you're doing it. Right now."
β€” Aaron Bushnell

Capital One staff are calling on the company to divest from Elbit Systems & any other firms arming Israel.

"We, the Capital One associates undersigned to this open letter, refuse to be complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza."

They also cite some of Aaron Bushnell's final words.

If you’re wondering how you can help DC residents right now, donate to Remora House if you can afford to do so.

They’ve been on the ground supporting and advocating for unhoused people in DC for several years, and your donation goes directly to supporting the people affected by these sweeps.

Please understand that the term β€œtough on crime,”

actually means β€œtough on Black and brown people.”

That is how white people use that term. That is how they understand that term.

And that is how Black and Brown people also receive it when they hear it.

The loudest β€œtough on crime” voices are
