The war against Ukraine began 2014 with the illegal seizure of Crimea. It could end today with the complete Russian withdrawal and justice for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide carried out against Ukraine

I want genAI to die. I want this AI trend to die. I want features like photo filters to go back to being called what they are and not AI. I want real art to feel valuable and real artists to be valued. I want photography and filmmaking and art and design and I want voice acting and editing. Not bots

the most popular and widespread form of theft is wage theft from employers. the fact that your employer can call the police if you steal from them but you can't call the police if they steal your wages, should tell you almost everything you need to know about the police and their function in society

Greta was singled out because she is a highly visible woman, and thus needed to be highly visibly sexually humiliated as an example, as a message, as an act of bragging about their impunity and power to violate.

If you want to reduce the burden of chronic disease (including cancer), then making the vaccines for HPV & Hep B widely available and accessible with as few barriers as possible helps achieve that goal.
RFK Jr.'s hand-picked panel of vaccine advisors is expected to vote to delay the hepatitis B shot for newborns. Doctors warn that could fuel a return of a disease virtually eradicated in U.S. kids.

Fascists do not believe in free speech as a universal principle. Free speech is a tool they'll happily use, but they don't think everyone should have it. They don't believe in universal moral principles at all. Rights and privileges are for the in-group, obligations are for everyone else.
When you support Free Speech but only for your self what you're for is your own untrammeled power.
