"People seem to think there’s some modern American exception to the ease with which human beings can turn to violence on a mass scale, and the pleasure they will take in it, once they receive sanction from on high to do so. It can happen here. It might."
If I got a dollar for every single time an ignorant liberal told me that I was dehumanising people because of my clear and unmovable condemnation of Nazis and genocide...
Also funny when liberals get so offended if you express, even if you slightly suggest a wish for the billionaires to not exist. As if having billions were a distinctive ethnic sign of a protected group, or as if certain human beings had that characteristic by biological necessity.
I hope Americans understand how throughly they are being lied to. Long-ago Israel passed a law barring any cases from Gaza being tried in Israel court so Blinken, Miller, and Biden saying that Israel has jurisdiction and the implication that #Israel has the ability to try #Gaza cases is a bold face lie. #uspol
It's a society that can't tell facts from fiction anymore. Which wouldn't be half as bad if they like to live like that and their shit didn't spill all over the world.
I'm nonplussed about the garbage that's coming out of the fascistic section of the Democratic Party who are now trying hard to accommodate the apologetics of genocide of their dear leader.
Besides, it's not only me, also State Department officials who have resigned in disgust, not wanting to become complicit in flagrant violation of international law.
In the most glorious "fuck you" I have seen in a while, you know the book that Cumberland City Council banned because they're homophobic bigots - Holly Duhig's "A focus on Same Sex Parents"? Well, the publisher, BookLife Publishing, have made a PDF version of the book available for free.
Sure be a shame if it was shared far and wide now, wouldn't it?
Every time you ban a book filled with hope and kindness, and care and love, we will resist.
I wish Google’s vision aligned more with being the water treatment plant of the Internet, and less with providing the dehydrated, condensed poop version.
In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson authorized roughly 75,000 American citizens to deliver 4-minute speeches about why the U.S. should enter the Great War. They were called the 4 Minute Men (though some were women and children). The "four minute" monicker came from the length of time it took to change reels in a movie theater, where these speeches were delivered. In case you thought Americans had short attention spans now -- welp, we did over a century ago too. https://www.loc.gov/exhibitions/world-war-i-american-experiences/about-this-exhibition/over-here/surveillance-and-censorship/four-minute-men/
The NYT ran a post by the editorial board called ‘A Failure of Leadership in American Universities’, and it is true, American universities have failed to protect students and the right to protest genocide, but that’s not what they mean because the NYT itself is a failure in every way
This is tricky. I’d love for Klopp to win a third time #YNWA, and you could make an argument, but really Unai Emory has to win from this list. #PremierLeague#LFC
Klopp has never lost a Premier League game in the merry, merry month of May, having won nine and drawn four of the 13 top-flight matches he has overseen in the fifth month of the year.
