I swear, TDS is self projection. This is also his stochastic terrorism way of saying that people against Trump that die horrificly meet their end solely because they didn't like Trump. A pure psychopath with no remorse for his actions.

James Talarico: These predatory social media algorithms elevate the most extreme voices to provoke our outrage.

Billionaires are engineering our emotions so they can profit off of our pain.

These platforms want us at each other's throats because those billionaires benefit.

Totally ludicrous for the Metreweli to warn that Britain is on the front line against Russia without acknowledging that America, with whom MI6 shares intelligence, is now fully aligned with Russia and has the same objectives. Why are Britain's politicians and craven legacy media not addressing this?

Republicans are slashing VA healthcare because it was improving the lives of veterans and being used as an example of how good socialized medicine could be…and health insurance companies were getting nervous.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.

Straightforward case of "I didn't think the 'cut vital government services party' was going to cut the services I rely on".

That said, these angry Montanan Trump voters should invite Trump and Musk to personally fell trees. Let them use those chainsaws correctly.

U.S. security experts fear that growing networks of foreign spies, combined with new technology, represent an unprecedented threat—one that the Trump-Patel FBI, the primary agency tasked with thwarting hostile foreign intelligence services, is a disaster in play.

The goal in life is to leave the world better off than you find it.

Reiner did that and more, and may history and the hereafter reward him for eternity.

In a world where fewer and fewer people concern themselves with the plight of others, the loss of Rob Reiner, who cared deeply about humanitarian causes, feels that much more devastating. RIP: 1947-1925.

Rob Reiner was an American Icon who, through his art and activism, held a mirror up to American culture. His talent, humor, activism, and patriotism will be missed. Our heart breaks at the senseless loss of our friend.

The US has yet another school shooting and Trump says “things happen”.

He calls it a “situation”.

He gives “thoughts and prayers”.

Australia has a mass shooting and their Prime Minister immediately announces plans for stricter gun control.

That’s how it should be.

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.
