In October, the group played an active role in advocating for the release of a 16-year-old Palestinian-American from Florida who had been held in an Israeli prison for eight months. Mohammed Ibrahim was released last month.

Oh, it’s that kind of terrorism - the sort where you stand up to protect the victims of Israel’s genocidal fascism. Makes sense now.

If there’s one thing I know about Americans it’s that when they say “bullshit” they mean “utter poppycock, twaddle and codswallop.”

Or when he thought Portland was a war zone because he saw it on Fox News?

If it discourages Trump from coming to London, I’m sure most Londoners would be fine with him staying deluded.

The problem is that even if at some level they realize this, self-deceit and denial is an easier way to deal with the feeling that maybe their whole world view has been a bad mistake, than admitting their whole world view has been a bad mistake and changing it.

Americans must learn to adjust to a lower standard of living, he told the crowd before suggesting a specific solution to prices hiked by his tariffs, which he continues to insist are a success. “You can give up certain products. You can give up pencils…You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice.”

Trump thinks the economic problem is pencil addicts and spoiled little girls. The guy is a mental ruin.

Remember there’s also the Republican ownership of voting machine companies, the Republican replacement of state officials who oversee elections, and the Republican demand that their DoJ “comprehensively” oversee elections in states (whereas in 2024 they argued the opposite, that the DoJ should have no access to monitor elections). They have a number of tricks up their sleeves.

The aging sea lion enables the Stephen Millers to go about their nasty business while everyone is looking elsewhere. That’s one way he’s dangerous. The other is that he’s a threatened malignant narcissist with dementia and diminishing impulse control, and one of the world’s most powerful armies.

Worm abuse.

First you need to put the non-rich in charge and prevent them being bought off by the rich. That’s the hard part, but not impossible.

It depends on their relationship with the social media companies. There’s a good chance companies like Meta have already given the authorities a lot of data on their users. US law enforcement might already know about some of your accounts based on your identity, and then claiming you have none might not work well.

They’re probably counting on people eventually forgetting what they did. People can forget quickly.

Their agenda sounds good but apparently they’ve acted a bit shadily in various ways.

Nothing inevitable about it. That kind of thing only happens when you’re defeated in war, taken prisoner by your enemies, or when your entire country sees and regrets the course it has taken. Bush and Cheney faced no consequences, and Kissinger faced no consequences, because no one in a position to bring that about wanted to. Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Smotrich and the rest will face no consequences unless Israel’s apartheid regime falls. And that looks unlikely in the near future.

I don’t think it’s AI. It looks like bad human writing. An AI wouldn’t use clunky non-idiomatic phrases like this:

He noted that the area of the pipe break is part of museum spaces that will undergo a major renovation…

Also, A LLM would be unlikely to say a flood led to a burst pipe when it has lots of examples of writing where the causation is the other way round. A human having a brain fart might make that mistake though.

I suspect this article was written in a hurry by someone whose English isn’t great.

It also means introducing censorship of all messages and movements that don’t support fascism.

Maybe if we send Trump enough poutine we can get this thing over with quicker. Send him 12 servings per day!

Fortified with vitamins and cancer.

Yes, of course. I’m making fun of a particularly crude religious take that’s unfortunately too influential in the USA.

Who needs science when all truth is in the Bible? Also, who needs some bits of the Bible when all truth is in the other bits of the Bible? It’s just a matter of knowing which is which. If in doubt about this, check the Bible.
