Which is fortunate, because the AI data centers are hogging all the chips.

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: β€˜They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s β€˜arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: β€œBecause they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:

Opinion | Why the latest racist, antisemitic college MAGA group chat points to the GOP's future Anthony L. Fisher Young MAGA activist leaders β€”the heirs to Charlie Kirk’s legacy β€” keep getting outed as bigots. And the right’s mostly just yawns.

A leaked Florida college group chat revealed TPUSA's chapter president β€” and other young Republican activist leaders β€” giddily using antisemitic, racist and fascist rhetoric.

The heirs to Charlie Kirk’s legacy keep getting outed as bigots. And the right mostly just shrugs.

so the world's energy mix looks like this. around 20%-25% of the world's oil (7%pt of total energy) and a third of the world's gas (another 7%pt) goes thru hormuz.

right now that's been zero'd out, and there's no clear path back. a sixth of the world's energy supply is just... gone.

The hidden surveillance network sending Californians' license plates to Border Patrol California residents are noticing new license plate readers that appear to be operated by the Border Patrol. Some have had confusing encounters with agents.

This thread should be the death-knell for Platner's claim that the army didn't ban him for the Nazi tattoo and for his defenders' claims that he didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo.

It's the reason he was barred from re-enlistment, and he knew it.

He's a liar who deliberately kept a Nazi tattoo.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

The restrictions Miller and Hegseth railed against were designed to prevent us from doing things like slaughtering children en masse.

The KIDS Act (mass censorship and surveillance law that would eliminate anonymous internet use) is moving forward in the House, and the only opposition is from Democrats who claim it doesn't censor and surveil ENOUGH. When is the left going to wake tf up???

Trump to Rubio: "Your next one is gonna be Cuba. He's waiting but he says, 'Let's get this one finished first.' We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen."

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.

Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

Whether it's ChatGPT or some other company, no one should be building tech that enables killer robots & mass surveillance.

Congress should ban both of these things. Until they do people should be boycotting to hit companies like ChatGPT where it hurts! Pledge to boycott now: quitgpt.org

Azerbaijan just closed airspace "in the south of the country" per Bloomberg macro squawk. Losing that link would have a massive impact on Europe-Asia (incl the Indian subcontinent and ANZ) air travel.

this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

I worked election day in Nov 2024 at a pretty quiet polling place in Collin County. I went back to that same location today to vote in the primary, and I think it was about as busy as it had been during 2024.
