I do not donate to individuals.

This does nothing to change the systems responsible for oppression, and misalocates resources to the connected and away from the powerless.

My efforts and funds are directed to fighting oppression so that there are no victims who need help in the first place.

You get that you started this thread by claiming that Canadian snowbirds are going to be fingerprinted and photographed at the U.S. border? Right? Sheesh.

Having BlueSky installed is pretty clear demonstration of anti-administration wrong think, me thinks.

I’m finding this unreasonably funny

A screenshot of a tweet that reads:

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of lawyer commercials and then asked it to write a lawyer commercial of its own. Here is the first page.

LAWYER COMMERCIAL

INT. FIRM LAW ROOM

A LAWYER stands next to a shelf with books. The books are very wide. They have eaten too many words.

LAWYER. Have you been hurt in an accidental at? Has the government sold your lungs without asking nicely? Are you Mesothelioma? Answer me!

The lawyer opens a briefcase. It’s full of lemons, the justice fruit only lawyers may touch.

I interviewed Pulitzer Prize winning war correspondent Chris Hedges for an hour about the Western media betrayal of Palestinian journalists, the National Press Club of Australia, fascism and a violent empire in decline.

"Easing the tight housing market" is a more politically palatable explanation than admitting that politically connected residents just don't like loud parties and random strangers walking through their neighborhoods at weird hours.

The West's Dehumanization Of Arabs Is Completely Unforgivable

These last two years have shown us that western civilization doesn’t need protection, it needs redemption. It needs to save its soul.

If you think that decades of problems in the US somehow stem from an Australian invasion, I mean, ROFL.

And let's blame South Africa as well, while we're at it.

Blaming other people for your problems doesn't sound very empowering to me, but if it helps emotionally who am I to criticize.

Someone needs to draft a Project 2029 for sure, and yet here we are still quibbling about how much subsidy the government should be providing to private healthcare companies instead.

Firstly, Murdoch is an American citizen running an American media company. Secondly, the leadership is supported by over half the US voting population at all levels of government and, as far as the military is concerned, is 100% bipartisan. You don't get to dodge that. Sort your shit out.

The persistent American delusion that you can topple governments simply by dropping massive amounts of munitions on a country is completely immune to both logic and history, isn't it.

It's pretty easy to see if a politician stands for nothing if there's nothing that they're willing to fight for.
