Judaism is a racist religion. Zionism and the Israeli state are natural extensions of this. There is a reason people get upset every time jews come to power over and over throughout history. Judaism cultivates this behavior. A two state solution with Palestine will not work. End Israel now.

Learn about statistics. 95.9% of abortions are elective. Basically women just want to slut around and can't be bothered to use contraceptives.

We have 20 million "undocumented migrants" here at a minimum. Undocumented means they also do not have a vaccination record. Why aren't they concerned about this massive gap in our herd immunity?

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "Measles was eliminated back in the year 2000. And now, 26 years later, we’re dealing with it coming roaring back. Pennsylvania has now eclipsed 1,000 cases across 39 counties, with five deaths." Shapiro says amid the outbreak, vaccinations have now doubled.

The most vindicating part of this story is that a citizen journalist struggled to find an outlet. Journalists refuse to cover real stories and that's how people like Nick Shirley get so much support. Journalists did this to themselves.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter. (Published Jan. 2025)

I've recently deployed a script that is quite accurate at identifying bots. Strangely, bots are coming out in droves to claim I added them falsely. How did they even know I flagged them? To prove you're not a bot, tell me the text in this gif.

Literally the Achilles Heel of democracy.

"When President Donald Trump said he would give adult US citizens $5,000 each if they reelected Republican majorities in the 2026 midterm elections, Sen. Roger Marshall was one of the first lawmakers to tout the idea," writes CNN's Aaron Blake. | Analysis https://cnn.it/4deEa7i

When aid depends on proving you're sick enough, some learn to perform it, and administrators learn to doubt everyone. Honest people get caught in that cycle, forced to justify real pain. Basic income breaks the loop. No means test means no incentive to perform, and no reason to doubt. Just support.

The fix was in 2016, but the populace turned out overwhelmingly for Trump and they couldn't cover up that turnout. The fix was blatant in 2020. It had millions more dem voters than 2016 or 2024. By 2024 Trump was fully in Netanyahu's pocket and thus "safe" for the system.

Bluesky has a terrible bot problem. And they even know it. This post from CNN has 39 replies, and 35 of them are hidden. In addition to the bot problem, it's also deboosting real people, which is a form of shadowban.

You boycott Harry Potter because of Rowling's take on transgenderism. I boycott it because it's woke garbage.

The Verge@theverge.com

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. (Published May 2025)

I Wanted to Know Why.When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

“When a transaction objectively looks like a sale to a reasonable customer, the customer should get the legal rights that come with purchase, even if the vendor figuratively has their fingers crossed behind their back in the fine print,” EFF’s Corynne McSherry told @dailymail.co.uk.

dailymail.comThe chilling words Sony uttered in court reveal the new age of mediaSony is fighting a class-action lawsuit, but their arguments are stoking fears about what the future of ownership truly means for consumers.

Over 400 people worked on Hogwarts Legacy, including 1 trans VA and the writers that thought to include that trans VA as part of of the mandatory story. If you think hurting the livelihood of those 400 people is worth more than giving Rowling a few pennies then that isn't justice, it's pure spite.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Things were really good back then. Yet somehow if you say you want to make the world great like it used to be, that is fascism? People clearly don't like the status quo, but are fighting tooth and nail to protect it.

A lot of white Americans seem to think that all Muslims are responsible for 9/11, and really, that every non-white group is responsible for anything bad anyone from that group has ever done
