It sounds like Zohran agrees with you, in calling the Palestinian civilians seized by Israeli aggressors “Israeli hostages”.

I’m reading it that way, too. It’s unfortunate wording, but if you read past the first statement, he’s clearly discussing the attacks on Palestine by Israel. Immediately after that opening, Zohran writes “Relentless Israeli bombardment of Palestinians”; using “Israeli” to mean {enacted by Israel}. I’m going to go with the best and say that Zohran writing “Israeli hostages” means {hostages Israel held} and not {hostages from Israel}.

Absolutely. https://apnews.com/article/trump-ai-rfk-jr-health-tech-fa73703bd1fd557c787ef0b590e151f1 (second paragraph)

More than 60 companies, including major tech companies like Google, Amazon and Apple as well as health care giants like UnitedHealth Group and CVS Health, have agreed to share patient data in the system.

I find these articles so irritating. They sound so tone-deaf, throwing around clinical terms to say people are sad, while refusing to even consider any solutions.

I wish they’d stop all this “mental health” fluff that is just toxic positivity or a call for it; but if the people were talking amongst themselves instead of getting shepherded into 1-on-1 counseling, they people might go from “I’m feeling sad” to “this world makes us sad” and change things!! oohohooooo so scary!! :O

oh, yeah, of course Musk’s companies go on there… and I saw a few things about Oracle’s surveillance efforts.

What happened to “Don’t share your real identity online”? Oh… Social Media.

Well before the UK online ID laws, I saw some memes about people getting asked for ID as proof of age for NSFW servers, just to send to server admins. I figured it was a ID fraud scheme of some sort, but now I’d chalk it up to manic “protect the children” believers.

Have you seen the USA? UK? Russia? China? I really don’t want the government making any system to tie internet to any identity. I really don’t want any government having any role in the internet.

So if we ever take back this country, we’ve gotta destroy Palantir, Apple, Google, Meta, Disney, Microsoft, Amazon, CVS (working to compile a medical database on all USAmericans)… and every company that backed Trump’s Nazi campaign. Start making a list now. The corporations alone will be a life’s worth of work.

My fear is that, in the event that we get a fair 2028 election, Gavin Newsom will be pioneered as the golden child, as Joe Biden was in 2020 – drowning out the actual Leftist voices. Then those progressives are pressured to drop out because this election is sooo important. Cue a Newsom presidency where we get 4 years of macro-economic recovery while the common folk suffer, and then the cycle repeats.

I agree with you. He’s 100% rallying up a presidential bid, and what worries me most is I see other liberals idolizing him, reposting his tweets at Trump, praising him as able to destroy Trump… Who knows if we’ll even have an election, but Newsom’s sure poising himself to waltz right in.

People need to stop posting Newsom tweets, and instead post content like this that frames Newsom as the corporate shill he is. Newsom is crushing homeless encampments, Newsom created the “CARE” courts that stripped autonomy from the mentally ill, Newsom is attacking transgender youth; and Newsom is going to continue doing all of this, harder, to poise himself as a “middle ground” between rational people and fascists – instead of upholding his responsibility to protect California residents.

They way I’ve broken off every website I no longer want to support is to delete my account (if there is one), then wipe it from my browser – right click on a page from the site in my history, and select “Forget about this site…”. Then remove any bookmarks, if I have them. It feels like burning a literal bridge. I no longer see the icon or page titles in my history, and no longer have a one-click entry back into that place.

“and himself, a true Democrat” uhh, Cuomo, you’re running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary. You’re opposing the Democrat Party. That’s the exact opposite of a Democrat.

ooh he means neoliberal corrupt corporate sellout. Got it.

and for workers who want to lose their jobs, and for tenants who want to be unable to pay their rent

“go get a job as an essential worker!”

Just looked it up. I now see the guards were told to abuse the prisoners. Thank you for informing me. I was unaware.

think of the children!!! :< :< :< :< :<

And the “Tea” app leak happened right before these age-verification rules started popping up everywhere. It’s obvious cause and effect, but it was also demonstrated RIGHT before.

Don’t put your hand on a hot stove, especially after watching someone burn their hand on that hot stove.

I stopped talking to most people I knew because getting “i don’t do politics” as a dead-end to every response is just disheartening.

I was a shut-in before the 2024 Election. I figured social spaces there were somewhat immature because the mature people would have jobs and real life involvement. Then I started going outside, and I lost all hope. I’m too stupid for people to be this dumb. (Though I’ll admit, social media, algorithmic content, and the AI products probably made people dumber.)

Stanford Prison Experiment. Slavery. Lynch mobs. Segregationists. Anti-Feminists. Prison-Industrial Complex. The majority of the country voting for the leader passing out signs that said “MASS DEPORTATIONS”. Maybe there’s some inherent cruelty to the mainland USA. Maybe there’s still too much lead particles in the air. As someone who has never left the mainland, I’ve seen overwhelming evidence to the “non-empathetic” side. Or, perhaps, the majority of people are passive, and cruelty is most capable of spurring people to action.
