I don't see much value in removing Kristi Noem if Miller & budget remains. ICE is the most well-funded US law enforcement agency. What's the next DHS Sec going to do just tell the agents to put their thumbs up their ass? Taking their funding away is the only meaningful answer.

Stabilised version. One officer takes the gun from the guys holster. Then a second later another officer shoots him in the back.

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head. There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government

Every single theater operator I've talked to since 2023 has told me they are seeing the youngest audiences they've ever seen. Notably, this is especially an observation from indie/arthouse cinemas.

But if you actually want to defeat Trumpism you have to trade neoliberal corporatism for class war. You have to defeat fascism in the same way FDR defeated fascism: with social democracy, an aggressive working class agenda and by forcefully bringing to heel the corporate elites and economic royalists who have rigged the system against workers for decades. Otherwise Dems will forever be as impotent against Trumpism as Plouffe and co.

The war in the dem party right now is basically between capitulating to the basic Trumpian worldview (immigrants, trans people, cultural elites are the enemy) or offering a different left populist class war frame. There are heavy incentives for Democrats to just offer a softer Trumpism. The donors get to keep their stuff, the establishment pols get to keep their positions and the consultants get to keep their contracts. And offering a kinder gentler fascism, the Dems may even still be able to win elections.

In 1949, Albert Einstein wrote WHY SOCIALISM. Here is an extract.

The trend of politicians reporting things to us like they’re journalists and not politicians with power to do anything about it needs to end. I mean Joe Biden is president right now, go talk to your boss and ask him what he plans on doing about it. You’re a senator, do something!

The AI bubble is a story of waste, ignorance and greed, and proves big tech no longer has the capacity to innovate. This has been a $200 billion distraction from their inability to solve real problems- and it’s time to fire Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai. wheresyoured.at/burst-damage/

This is bullshit. I watched all the films I actually wanted to watch when I had video stores to go to. Now I can't find anything I'm looking for on the streamers I subscribe to and must go to Apple to rent films, only to often find what I'm after isn't available there either.

Oh thank god there’s a getting shot option

this is what taking low dose shrooms with a close friend feels like btw
