Sorry... is this a thing? Having one party to a ceasefire turn it off and on like a f*cking light switch?
Israel's military said Wednesday that the ceasefire was back on in Gaza after it carried out heavy airstrikes overnight across the Palestinian territory that killed 104 people, including 66 women and children, according to local health officials.

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?
Bill Gates has been demonized by MAGA for his vaccines and "plans to depopulate the world." He fucking sold out! What is wrong with all these people? They own everything. They have more money than they could spend in 100 lifetimes, yet they are still selling their souls to Trump.

Damn.

“Everything that the president is messing with and interfering with affects my farming operation,” Virginia cattle rancher John Boyd Jr. told NPR.

“ It feels like a slap in the face to rural America,” said Destinee Weeks, cattle rancher in Oklahoma, “It makes you feel invisible and overlooked.”

"Today in a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a US citizen in a parking lot,firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside. Agents dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause. Excessive force. No warrant. No justification."
AI is coming. It will take jobs. It will reallocate even more income from the poor and middle class to the billionaires.

Our supposed "leaders" are doing nothing. Republicans are hiding from their voters because they and Trump's stupid tariffs are raising prices and reducing income. Democrats are ?
"Every week brings a new headline, a new justification, a new euphemism for the same act: erasing people in the name of progress."

"Economists call this “restructuring.” I call it an economic bloodletting."

AI is going to fuck us all.

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

Where will they be tested? Chicago? LA? New York?

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit

"We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."
The triumph of bullshit
Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy.

This made me feel sick because it is such a real possibility.
Frighteningly plausible

"If not stopped, Helen Andrews warns, women represent a 'threat to civilization.' Sound familiar? It should. Some lefty feminists used to pathologize men in similar ways. That didn’t work out too well." www.thebulwark.com/p/toxic-femi...

ICE violently detained a Virginia mother driving her daughter to school because she couldn’t recite her Social Security number from memory. “When she stumbled, the agent just lunged at her,” said her 16 yo. She showed her work permit, SS card, license, registration:ICE arrested her anyway.
"ICE in Durango, CO steals a elderly women’s phone, grabs her by the hair and throws her down a hill during a peaceful protest over ICE abducting a father and 2 children from a school drop off."
Fuck this guy.

Kinzinger: There is an intense cost to that. You see that cost laid out in this film, and it shows why, when people say, “Why don’t other Republicans speak out?” — this brings home that there is a cost to doing so. And we need to, frankly, elect and hire people who are willing to do tough things

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Jim Himes: "Where does this stop? Do we now start executing drug dealers on the corner of Brooklyn? Where does it stop if all of a sudden the government, without, telling anybody anything, can take this kind of lethal action just because they've decided they've got the right to."
