Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

🧡" #Palantir (the surveillance + AI company that's been cozying up to the Trump admin) just walked away with a no-bid contract with the USDA as part of a larger $300 million deal, all framed around return-to-office implementation. No competition, no other bids, just handed to them."

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

Finally watched The Alabama Solution. Incredible film, but man the top review on Letterboxd pisses me off. How is this your takeaway? The whole point is that the dehumanization of prisoners is not unique to Alabama. Did they not see the last ten minutes with examples from other states?

Jfc consent manufacturing at hyperspeed. This whole article is incoherent, but esp this part. Brother, you cannot cheer on the topping of Iran while also feigning concern about Netenyahu. Who exactly do you think stands to benefit from Iraeli-backed regime changeβ€”hint; it's not the people of Iran!

The blatant consent-manufacturing lie about Iran possessing nuclear weapons threatens to overshadow the promotion of the Iranian version of Ahmed Chalabi.

Iran, Security Theater & The US-Mexico Border The disastrous philosophy of the War on Terror laid the groundwork for Trump's immigration crackdown and belligerent militarism

MAGA imperialism is all about creating a spectacle of what was previously invisible. Why hide the truth about immigration raids when you can create a propaganda video? Why foment clandestine coup d’etats when you can kidnap or assassinate a foreign leader and make a show out of it?

Regime Change in Iran (Terms And Conditions Apply) The warmongers, once again, get the war they've sought for decades. Trump and Netanyahu leave the hard work to the people they're bombing

While the bombs fall on the regime and its opponents alike, Trump and Netanyahu say that they come as liberators. Only they won't be the ones who do the dirty work. Encouraging the IRGC to sit on its hands and receive 'immunity' is the latest tell that the Iranian people's desires are irrelevant.

The thing is that this isn’t just weakness from Democrats like Schumer, it’s a performance so they can help launder a war they fully support

The Democrats Are Not Your Savior Trump's war on immigrants is made possible by decades (centuries, really) of bipartisan anti-immigrant policy.

Part 1 of a 4-part essay about immigration, imperialism & the Democratic Party.

The entire Democratic strategy debate β€” "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β€” is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Pay for however many newsletters you want, please, give all those writers money

But you can't replace a whole journalism ecosystem with a series of freelancers, you just can't. There also needs to be support for serious papers, magazines, online newsrooms, and nonprofit reporting

The border patrol has been a violent, racist entity since its inception, regularly raping, murdering, torturing helpless immigrants outside of the public eye and yet being funded and equipped by a bipartisan consensus to militarize the border based on fear mongering and propaganda.
