Please stop saying “add -ai”; that’s not reliable! The real way is to use the “Web” tab instead of “All” below Can shortcut it by adding “&udm=14” to the url. there’s a bunch of ways to default to it. Odd ik but you are *guaranteed* not to trigger a genAI AI search this way

@victorywiilcome @EX23LCL @RnaudBertrand I wish, in the bastion of free thought that is the west, we were presented with all the differing opinions on these sorts of things. How else could democracy function? Unfortunately, the “marketplace of ideas” is a myth, with only a specific, narrow range of viewpoints allowed.

@itstimredd @EX23LCL @RnaudBertrand He is not gonna like it. Don't you know that we are the good guys and they are the bad ones? We slaughter by mistake, and those evil b@st@rds do it on purpose. You never heard about the garden and the jungle? We hear it everyday on the news, you should know better...

Yet another striking illustration of just how ideologically rigid the West has become compared to what we used to be. This was the obituary The Economist published for Mao in 1976 - at the height of the Cold War. Read this part: "In the final reckoning Mao must be accepted as one of history's great achievers: for devising a peasant-centred revolutionary strategy which enabled China's Communist party to seize power, against Marx's prescriptions, from bases in the countryside; for directing the transformation of China from a feudal society wracked by war and bled by corruption, into a unified egalitarian state where nobody starves; and for reviving national pride and confidence so that China could, in Mao's words, 'stand up' among the great power." Show this text to any Economist "journalists" today - without telling them it's from their own paper - and they'd reply: surely it's "CCP propaganda" 😏 Yes, incredible as it may sound, there used to be a time when Western journalists could assess a geopolitical rival honestly and respectfully without being accused of being a traitor. And this honesty was in no small part a key factor why the West won the Cold War. Today we call honest assessment "propaganda," and we harass, smear, and blacklist people for it. And we're puzzled why the West is in steep decline. Truth matters.

@EX23LCL @victorywiilcome @RnaudBertrand Re your comments on Mao’s famines (plural) - even anti-Communist scholars say it’s one, singular. And it certainly wasn’t “by design”, implying genocide. The historical record has been twisted over the years to serve as an ideological cudgel, the propaganda is all-encompassing.

@EX23LCL @victorywiilcome @RnaudBertrand Using the same descriptor for both understates their differences. One was externally imposed on colonial subjects over centuries. The other, as per CIA analysis at the time and since, was disastrous weather combined with naive policy; they credit Mao for prioritizing resolving.

@lisapease @OrevaZSN None of that came from technological advancement, which is their point. It’s often the opposite. The gains you mention were forced out of employers - ending child labor, 40-hour work week / the weekend, better pay and conditions. All concessions made to organized worker action.

@OrevaZSN Well, you have to look further back in history because there have been huge improvements to labor and increased leisure time. It could still be, and used to be, much worse.

The most striking thing about capitalism is that every year, through technological advancements workers produce more in the same amount of time, yet none of this has ever translated into reduced working hours, improved labor conditions, or increased leisure time.

@EX23LCL @victorywiilcome @RnaudBertrand China had famines that killed millions in 1959, 1942, 1936, 1928, 1906, 1876, 1853, 1857, 1846, etc. A better outlet for your righteousness: Britain - your country - imposed famines on Ireland which killed 13% of the people, and even more on India which killed millions per.

Pointed out by a locked friend: This Axios accusation of Cuba planning a drone attack on Guantanamo Bay, or on American vessels, or on Florida, all of those are literally from Operation Northwoods, the false-flag attack plans prepared by the CIA in 1962.

@AAnnecharico @KatrinaNation Cuba isn’t a plaything to revive the failed electoral college. You have no idea the struggle the Cuban people have fought: to develop sovereignly; to get OUR BOOT off their neck. Were they to be destroyed like you envision, it would be one of the darkest moments in human history.

@KatrinaNation Fast track to statehood? Think about it. 14 or so electoral votes. A population not likely to vote for them "socialist" Democrats with an American diaspora that's been pretty much accepted as white by Republicans. Cuba will be the 51st state long before Puerto Rico or DC.

News breaking: Cuba accepts US offer of $100 million in aid. And the CIA director lands in Havana for talks, an indication of a  on-going high level dialogue with the government.

Interesting how the world often treats the French Revolution as the only great symbol of freedom and rights, while the Haitian Revolution is treated like a footnote. Yet, Haiti did what many abolitionists elsewhere only preached, i.e., enslaved people rising up and defeating an empire, abolishing slavery, and claiming freedom by force. Haiti’s history deserves equal, and maybe greater, reverence. Brilliant documentary by @AJEnglish 👌🏽

@joewrote @DrJillStein Recall Obama, Biden said progressive things, but their actions were fundamentally a continuation/escalation of their R predecessors’ attacks on the working class. There are entire industries dedicated to making Steyer seem reasonable; we have to deal with that in our analyses.

@joewrote @DrJillStein Steyer is a finance capitalist who specialized in preying on debt-crushed people/businesses. The firm he led invested in the prison-industrial complex, ie. legal slavery, and big fossil fuel. In 2020 he was caught stealing data and buying endorsements. But go off about “grifting”

🚨📢 Call to action! Sign this petition to urge the FDA to approve @ShionogiUS’s Xocova, a 2nd generation COVID-19 antiviral that will give us prophylaxis and treatment options beyond Paxlovid. A decision date is currently set for June 16th, and we’re going to need all the help that we can get to push this approval through, because the FDA offices that will need to issue an approval are currently in complete turmoil: • Just today, Politico announced that FDA commissioner Makary is resigning, and will be replaced by acting commissioner Kyle Diamantas: politico.com/news/2026/05/1… • The FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) is now led by Tracy Beth Høeg, one of the worst anti-science hacks that this administration has to offer. Just last week, it was widely reported that she personally got involved against Sanofi’s type 1 diabetes drug in a disagreement with staff: biospace.com/fda/sanofi-req… • Within CDER, the Office of Infectious Diseases (which Xocova approval goes through) currently has no director - Adam Sherwat left the FDA last month: statnews.com/2026/03/18/fda…
Dan Elton@moreisdifferent

@MidwestAViDD The FDA has been evaluating @ShionogiUS's Xocova application for nine months, and they have an "action date" set for June. Sign this petition to urge the FDA to approve Xocova! c.org/jdymbFB6nd The drug is a very valuable tool for combating #COVID19 and #LongCOVID!

@Alan_Forbes @ProudSocialist You don’t own your home in the US, private corporations get the state to force you off your land whenever they please.
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes

The government is preparing to seize homes and land using eminent domain for the construction of a Data Center in Coweta County, Georgia This American’s childhood home is being “taken by force by Georgia Power. Homeowners in this county do not have a choice” It affects over 330 private properties. Georgia Power says it will negotiate purchases and easements and use eminent domain Georgia Power claims its to strengthen the grid for the growing energy demand in Georgia (due to many new data centers) The lines are widely linked to Project Sail, a massive proposed hyperscale data center campus that will span 829 acres

You don’t actually own the home in China. You have a 70 year limit on ownership. But, this high rate stems from privatizing public housing ( capital investment) and offering incentives, not by building public housing with red tape and delays. Capitalism is alive in China. You are right, it works when the private sector takes the lead.

The reason China surpassed the US is simple: China invests in housing, education and healthcare to enrich its people. The US invests in war to enrich its oligarchs. As a result 90% of Chinese people own homes while 70% of Americans struggle to afford housing, food & healthcare.

Btw: this is why it was completely irresponsible for Joe Biden to say, “Give the leftover money from Covid to the cops.” That money was supposed to update ventilation in schools, hospitals& public spaces. And they just didn’t.

@CovidSolidarit1 Any serious organization would have ousted these incompetent, malicious failures by Feb 2020. The fact they’ve been around for so long is a damning indictment of these global institutions. The sooner they’re tossed to the wayside as we form legitimate alternatives, the better.

@arthur_eckart @browsingatwork @infraa_ You’re thinking of executives, who are high-level workers. Yep, they do actual work. The employer is the board of directors, the group of ~12 people who control the company. They don’t work, they own. Sometimes executives will join a board, but they’re usually employees.

@itstimredd @browsingatwork @infraa_ I've never seen a lazy employer. They work harder than the workers they hire. If they didn't, the business would fail. They create and maintain workers, not mooch off them. You make no sense.

@arthur_eckart @browsingatwork @infraa_ Too many employers today are lazy. They’re not willing to innovate and reinvest instead of buybacks and bonuses. Also, they speculate too much and productively invest too little or depend on taxpayers bailouts when they fail. They rather mooch off workers.
