I’ve hated elon musk since 2010 and now all these johnny-come-latelies are crowding my scene.

To be perfectly clear, matt yglesias and ezra klein’s silicon valley handlers told them that they want more consumers and cheap labor, but they don’t want them to have the rights of American citizens.
“You will own nothing, and you will like it... You will also be stateless.”

Yglesias’s views can be summarized by the wisdom of Tyga: she provoking, shawty goin up and down the pole like she voting

We are NOT giving Israel OUR money to engage in genocide.
We are BORROWING money to give to Israel to engage in genocide.
Our kids and grandkids’ work and productivity will be paying the INTEREST on the loans we take out to fund Israel’s genocide.
So why the fuck can’t they

The ethnic cleansing, population control, forced starvation, and genocide continue.
This isn’t a ceasefire. It’s the systematic culling of a population.

Trump allowed 17 members of the Sinaloa cartel into the US.
In May he commuted the 6x life sentences of the leader of the Gangster Disciples, most notorious drug trafficking & murderous street gang in the US.
Now Honduran drug trafficker Hernandez.
Is Trump setting up his own drug corridor?

“Full Self Driving”

I guess this is what “peace” means to Israel. Continual bombing of apartment buildings. I wonder if this is the kind of “peace” Russia is offering as well.

The strike hit the Haret Hreik area despite a year-old ceasefire. Netanyahu’s office claimed the target was Hezbollah chief of staff Haytham Ali...

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.
