The only way it’s misleading is in the usual refusal to acknowledge that the police killed this innocent person. It’s always the same passive voice, as if people keep magically dropping dead when the police happen to be around.

So if you play mad libs you come up with grammatically correct sentences, and if you change all the nouns to their opposites you get something people with the opposite opinions agree with. You’re right, it proves nothing.

And all the wrong lessons were learned:

James Lindsay, a prominent right-wing pundit, had submitted the aforementioned adaptation of Marx and Engels’s work and gotten it published. The essay’s publication, per Lindsay, is proof that the far right is basically the same as the far left: that it is, in his words, part of a “woke right” corrupting conservatism from within.

What an idiotic take.

No, this needs to be a fight they don’t win easily, and trans people mustn’t be left to fight it on their own. What organizations are fighting for trans people in the USA? Does any organization take donations to help fund gender-affirming medical care for people who can’t afford it? Does any organization take donations for good lawyers to fight every one of these moves on behalf of trans people? I’m not even in the USA but fascism is rising everywhere and we need people everywhere to get active in this fight.

Republicans: supporting the military by driving their children to despair.

Her core principle of “fuck everyone who voted for me, I got mine” does align perfectly with her new party.

Self-hosting makes more sense every day.

There are several of us.

There have been plenty of articles in popular media recommending Faraday bags for electronic devices. I have them for credit cards and car keys. It’s definitely not evidence of criminal intent.

People have been speculating about Putin’s weird posture and movements for years. Whether or not it’s due to health problems, he does genuinely just move weird. No need to hypothesize deepfakes.

The danger is that those less well-off people who are currently supporting privatized healthcare will see actions like this, hear the conversations around it, and figure out what the real issue is, unless the media obfuscates it with spin.

And this guy may have been fairly well off (his family apparently are wealthy). But he doesn’t have to be poor to get people thinking and talking.

They either can’t see what’s going on, or they can’t admit it in case it encourages solidarity among the poors.

If there’s an upside it’s that it focuses people’s attention on the class struggle we’re all part of, whether we want to be or not. Some people will be realizing this for the first time; others will be experiencing a feeling of working class solidarity for the first time; and for others it will be a focal point in conversations that can raise people’s consciousness of what’s going on.

Look at all the lengths they go to when the victim is a rich exploiter.

During Monday’s press briefing, Tisch described the lengths detectives had gone to track down Thompson’s suspected killer.

“Our NYPD investigators combed through thousands of hours of video, followed up on hundreds of tips and processed every bit of forensic evidence,” she said. “We deployed drones, canine units and scuba divers.”

A reporter asked if similar resources were being expended to track down the killer of 17-year-old Yeremi Colino, a teen living at a migrant shelter who was fatally stabbed in Lower Manhattan the day after Thomson’s killing.

It really is disgusting how the USA devalues the lives of ordinary poor people while glorifying the greediest and most selfish sociopaths, and how it takes the killing of a rich person infinitely more seriously then the killing of a poor person.

Well, that definitely puts him within the top few hundred million suspects.

Not according to the reports. They’re saying it was a Welrod or B&T VP9 pistol.

The linked article says they could not confirm the genuineness of the email. Is there any confirmation that this is real? I did a bit of searching and several Indian sites are reporting on it, but they all seem to be reporting about the outrageous email going viral, not checking the source.

It primarily attracted members from the anticommunist middle class, small business owners, self-employed professionals such as physicians and lawyers, national conservatives, and nationalist World War I veterans, many of whom believed that Nazi antisemitism was only a rhetorical tool used to “stir up the masses.”

Wow, uncannily familiar.

Are you in the USA?
