Reading that cretin Alex Jones was put on blast by the conservative Supreme Court and "Dr. Phil" has had to declare bankruptcy on the same day? What an embarrassment of riches! Only one other breaking news story about another odious man would make things better.

white flight ass technologists mocked us

And we don’t actually hold anyone accountable for abandoning Black and Indigenous people so I mean we’re shocked

Because this is “new” not years of anti Black/ Indigenous and immigrant policy

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

What depresses me about this reporting is that it will lead to no introspection and very little accountability. We have just moved past any sort of world in which shame matters, or decency matters.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
