You could literally not finish the job, permanently cease fire, and stop the genocide.

I’d say History of Philosophy by Julian Marias is good. A little old, but I prefer Spanish and Italian over English. Inevitably, some of the summaries will get certain philosophies wrong, so it’s better to read the source material or folks that studied certain epochs (classical, modern, etc.).

Just general or a particular timeframe? Giovanni Reale is a good starting point I believe. Only in English?

Idk why anyone still tries to meet racism with empathy and respect. They don’t respect you. Punch them in the mouth. Be rude and hostile. The fuck they gonna do? Hate black people more? πŸ™„

Anyway, when all of this started, I kept saying that you have to always look at these new technologies through the contempt that the tech world has for labor, and their campaign to destroy anything they can get their hands on for a bit more money. Human deskilling, not flourishing, is their goal.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.

But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.

Miss me with this bs.

ICE Risks Overplaying Its Hand. We’ve Seen It Happen Before. Militarized federal encroachments on public life provoke strong, even violent responses β€” even among those who agree with their aims.

Of the Empire
We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

14 days in and Trump/Musk are musing about deporting US citizens, even US citizens born & raised in US to US citizens, to foreign penal colonies. Amazing how quickly deportation plans went from undocumented criminals to anyone.

Oh snap!

Rupert Murdoch went to see Donald Trump in the Oval Office today and then the New York Post editorial board said RFK Jr. is "not fit to lead a key federal health agency" afterwards.

Every lawyer who signs their name to a brief or pleading arguing the president can cancel birthright citizenship by executive order should be disbarred. I'm dead serious.

They are not following the rule of law guys, are you living under a rock? This will 100% happen and no one will stop it because they won't deport white American citizens. They’ll deport everyone else. They are not playing by your rules! Wake up! 🀑🀑🀑

It's incredible how someone like me, a small-shot attorney, would get fined or scorned in court if I ever submitted trash like this… but these folks can submit this bs brief to SCOTUS, and nothing will happen.

N.Y. Attorney General Warns Hospitals Against Canceling Transgender Care (Gift Article) A White House executive order last week threatened to pull federal funding from hospitals that provide gender-affirming care. But not providing the care could violate state law, Letitia James said in ...

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

The Senate voted 99-0 to confirm Rubio with all Democrats and Republicans in favor.

And this is who Rubio appointed.

Reminder that Trump can commit virtually any crime as president right now and be protected by the Supreme Court's immunity decision. No incentive to follow the law - he can openly tell people to violate it and promise to pardon them from federal charges.

Ahora que Canada esta siendo amenazada economica y militarmente por USA, creo que es hora que los invitemos a ser parte de Latinoamerica. Ser basureado por USA y compartir el continente es el 1er requisito. El 2do es aprender a decir "jodete gringo."

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.

Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
