In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship.
Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.

It's even sadder now that we have Latinos wearing ICE uniforms physically abusing people who are just like them. It's like watching Jews violently rounding up other Jews to send to the Nazi death camps.

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

More evidence of two tiers of justice. This most recent action is reminiscent of when Trump in the 2016 campaign asked those who believe in the 2d amendment to help him with Hillary.
Breaking on MSNBC:
Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

So there are Americans who are angry if the Us government uses their tax dollars to offer migrants/immigrants healthcare but are ok with the government spending billions of their tax dollars to keep them in concentration camps?
Trump wants to use the Navy to build $10B worth of migrant detention camps.
Let me get this straight: we "can't afford" to invest in public programs that make housing or healthcare more affordable — but we have endless funds to detain migrants and enrich defense contractors?
