We should refer to @mashagessen's Rules for #SurvivingAutocracy daily, especially now that Trump is worse than Putin. Journalists are failing to pay attention. They downplay, buy the normality, say "we're not shocked," "someone will stop him." No one is coming to save us but us.

@trwill1957 Exactly!

@RedBison Not much of a “right” if ya gotta fight for it. ~inalienable~ anyone?

The thing about using patriarchal language is that it limits and controls what and how we are able to think. IOW, it causes brain damage that prevents the revolution we desperately need, for all living things. FTPatriarchy.

It would be cool if media outlets would do their job and start reporting on the Russian mass slaughter of Ukrainians over the last few days, with them randomly throwing missiles and drones at our towns and cities—onto busy streets, in broad daylight, to maximize casualties with zero military objectives. ​7 people yesterday in Merefa, just outside Kharkiv; 12 people just now in Zaporizhzhia; 5 in Kramatorsk. These are not separate instances, but one single campaign of terror, and it must be reported as such.

if terrorists were bombing busy European streets elsewhere to the point of first responders collecting the victims by their body parts then it would make wall-to-wall coverage everywhere in the world. do not normalize russian massacre in Ukraine.

Aviation is set to collapse. "Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary warned that the UK was the most exposed country in Europe to shortages because of its reliance on Kuwait for a quarter of jet fuel imports." "EU previously stating that it's "very likely people's holidays will be affected" either by sky-high prices or cancellations." "echoed concerns raised by the boss of the International Energy Agency (IEA), who warned in mid-April that Europe had just six weeks’ supply of jet fuel left because of the Middle East conflict."

Covid damages the part of your brain (frontal lobe) which is responsible for empathy, emotional regulation & overcoming self-centeredness. This will facilitate immorality. Each & every infection you have causes damage. Many are on infection 4 (or more). Signed, a neurologist.

Every covid infection does.

American public schools’ overreliance on YouTube for educational content runs counter to what is clear in several scientific studies: Learning analog is better than digital. on.wsj.com/3Rmrrat 🧵

Israel's mass slaughter in Gaza, enabled by the US, was a moral outrage. And now, as the @nytimes reports, Israel is applying the Gaza model in Lebanon -- and once again we Americans are enabling this moral catastrophe. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Check out this video. I wonder if this is the real reason Trump "paused" his illegal war on Iran. The regime always lies to the public and Congress. cnn.com/2026/05/01/wor…

This Wall Street insider just exposed the secret doomsday escape plans of AI billionaires. 1 in 3 billionaires has a fully funded plan to abandon civilization when things collapse. They meet their pilots at Oakland airport, board a Gulfstream 650, fly to New Zealand, and disappear into a bunker that cost tens of millions to build. And this isn't some conspiracy theory. There's literally PROOF: Sam Altman told The New Yorker he stockpiles guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, and gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force. He owns a patch of land in Big Sur he can fly to when society breaks down. His backup plan is flying with Peter Thiel to Thiel's compound in New Zealand. Peter Thiel became a New Zealand citizen in 2011 after spending only 12 days in the country. He bought a 477-acre estate for $13.5 million and submitted plans for a bunker-style compound embedded into a hillside with a 1,082-foot glass-lined guest lodge for 24 people. Mark Zuckerberg is building a 5,000 square foot underground shelter beneath his $270 million compound in Hawaii. Blast-resistant doors made of metal and concrete, its own energy and food supplies, and an escape hatch accessible by ladder. Every construction worker signed an NDA and different crews were forbidden from speaking to each other. Larry Page, co-founder of Google, quietly disappeared to Fiji during the pandemic. He reportedly bought at least one private island in the Mamanuca archipelago. When local media reported his presence, Fijian authorities ordered the article taken down. Scott Galloway sat with one of these billionaires who walked him through his entire exit strategy step by step. His response: "You don't think your pilots are going to kill you and fuck your wife? You don't think the people in New Zealand are going to come take the rich guy's shit?" But here's the thing that really matters... These are the SAME people building AI. The same founders telling Congress that AI will cure cancer have already decided they're leaving when it goes sideways. Galloway confirmed a secondhand account from someone close to one of these AI CEOs. The CEO admitted he believes there's a 7 to 10% chance AI results in a catastrophic event for humanity. And he doesn't care because being the person who summoned this intelligence is "more consequential than whatever happens." These billionaires don't use public healthcare. They have concierge medicine delivered to their living room. Their kids attend $75,000 per year academies while public schools spend $10,000. They fly private. They have private security instead of police. Galloway's words: "The 0.1% are no longer invested in the well-being of America. They've totally dissociated because they're sequestered from it." And the incentives to reach that level are so extreme that founders will make ANY decision necessary to get there. Galloway called it the Darth Vader pipeline. Every tech CEO follows the same arc: Sam Altman was "the gay son we all wanted." Soft spoken, testifying before Congress about safety. Now he's subpoenaing nonprofits that criticize OpenAI and telling people to stop complaining about energy costs. Galloway on all of them: "These guys would sleep with their cousin for a nickel." The next chosen hero is Dario Amodei at Anthropic. Galloway says he'll follow the exact same path because the system makes it inevitable. Then he dropped his most dangerous prediction: He thinks there's a 1 in 3 chance AI ends up like jet transportation, vaccines, or PCs. Technologies that changed civilization but where NO group of companies ever captured serious shareholder value. The entire airline industry across all of history is at break even. Moderna is down 90%. AI models are converging. Open weight Chinese models are free and a third of corporations are already using them. His prediction: Go short the AI ecosystem. The winner of AI might be us, the users. Not the companies. And if he's right, the domino effect is terrifying... 40% of the S&P is tied to AI. Most GDP growth over the last two years came from AI capex. So if corporations start dropping OpenAI and Anthropic for free Chinese models, the entire market could crash. This is just like the Chinese steel dumping in the 80s: Flood America with cheap AI, kneecap the companies propping up the stock market, then trigger a recession without firing a single shot. The billionaires building AI have escape plans ready. They've detached from society entirely. They know there's a real chance this ends badly and they're building it anyway. Every tech hero turns villain on a shorter timeline. And the financial system is so dependent on AI valuations that one move from China could bring it all down. And we're still trusting these people to self-regulate. What do you think?

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked. An Israeli soldier filmed this clip using a drone camera while proudly boasting about the destruction of all homes in Gaza. A moment the world must never forget.

Republican efforts to extinguish the last remaining bison (currently at 0.1% of their former numbers) are truly a crime against America. You literally could not make it up. How any American stands by this is beyond comprehension. Shame on @GovGianforte thetimes.com/article/25b3d3…

Israel has created more child amputees than any other entity in the entire 300,000-year history of human life on planet earth.

Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.

Update: I got into the Israel real estate event at Park East Synagogue. Inside I saw at least one table advertising properties in the West Bank, including Kfar Eldad and Karnei Shomron.

It's so funny to be like "alright guys no more Zoloft" while you're pumping gas to $300/gallon and there's 7 jobs left

Brad Watson has spent his adult life milking cows at 5:30 AM on a farm that has been in his family for 140 years. But today, the barn is empty and the legacy is gone. We’re performing an autopsy on Butter Ridge Farm to see how a "Golden Age" for farmers turned into an extraction machine for Wall Street investors. From the "Tariff Tax" that made equipment repairs impossible to the energy deregulation that tripled electric bills overnight, we look at the material reality behind the political slogans. And we follow the money to see who actually profits when the American family farm collapses—including some very familiar names in the Vice President's investment portfolio.

I was on a Twitter break because it was doing my head in, but I've had to come back briefly because of this psychopathy from the @WHO on Hantavirus. Literally, we have learned nothing. It's as if the Diamond and the Ruby Princess and 'Precautionary Principle' never happened. I give up. "In the context of the current outbreak, passengers and crew members should practice frequent hand hygiene," "If respiratory symptoms are present to practice respiratory etiquette and wear a medical mask." "Standard precautions combined with droplet precautions during close contact are considered sufficient. Routine airborne precautions are not typically required, except during aerosol‑generating procedures." @CO2RadicalAus who.int/emergencies/di…

Imagine being a scientist investigating vaccines in the U.S. After years of research and millions spent, your study is blocked from publication because your data doesn't support RFK's and the FDA's battle against vaccines. This is why people like me were forced to leave.
