I’m not a legal expert and my expectations for any big corporation ever receiving punishment is low but I can’t imagine it’ll help their various court cases over 4o related deaths that they knew 4o was dangerous enough to shut it down once but then put it back online seemingly unchanged

Imagine if Coca Cola put out a formula that used cocaine, people complained that the inclusion of cocaine made them feel gross and was dangerous, so then Coke got rid of the cocaine, but then people addicted to cocaine went “we miss cocaine!!” so they brought back the old cocaine recipe as an option

they want everyone to believe that resisting a white supremacist race war means the state should kill you and it’s deserved, and it’s concerning every republican on every level believes this now. in 2017 this was being said, but it was still a marginal opinion
Rep. Randy Fine: "It's time for Americans to say 'enough,' and if you get in the way of the government repelling a foreign invasion, you're gonna end up just like that lady did yesterday."

Not trying to be a crybaby about censorship or whatever, but I will say some of the atrociously racist, pedophiliac, transphobic, and rhetorically violent things people to the right get away with on here is 1000x worse than whatever dumb joke about ICE agents Jack hanging I made 🤓

banning X is a national security issue for every country, plain and simple

its explicit goal is to amplify and empower the largest Nazi-adjacent party in every country in which it operates

it is also the largest deepfake porn generator in the world

this is not a difficult call to make

theres so much horrible shit about the murder of renee good, but there is something deeply terrifying about the way everyone from media to politicians have erased her wife from the story. ive seen far more mention of her late husband than her wife who was sitting next to her when she was murdered

They just will not acknowledge the situation as it exists. They won't say "federal agents murdered a person" because they're still trying to maintain our poisoned status quo.

oldhead advice from an oldhead.

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"

and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work

gotta build for long term

It's interesting to think that there started being a fairly insistent left wing strain in American politics since the W Bush administration which has only grown - and one of the dominant forces in US politics making sure it didn't win wasn't Republicans, but Dems. Hence leftists being sick of them.

Going back to basics: government agents who use force without democratic accountability are an occupying force and the government deploying them is illegitimate. They're gonna have me waving the declaration of independence on the corner like a street preacher

It's telling that you say "I don't think masked thugs should be murdering innocent people in broad daylight" and Republicans start jumping up and down yelling "I guess we can't have law enforcement then." Do you hear yourself
