Thank you. He gets more normalized any time someone talks about this asshole and doesn’t mention his extremist and wildly unpopular views. He is a terrible person, and not enough people know why.
This article does a pretty solid job of explaining how horrible he is, though I’m sure there are better ones.
I’m furious about this, and I don’t live in Georgia. The way the state treated opposition to this fascist fever dream was abhorrent and Anti-American. When I think about what these facilities are like, I can’t help but picture those propaganda videos of Al Qaeda training in the desert. I mean, they will certainly be training police to perfect the terror tactics that have kept Georgia law enforcement so racist and untrustworthy (no-knock warrants, swatting, shooting before asking questions, killing every dog they see for fun, etc. etc. etc.).
Curious though, why include this part? Without any explanation it seems completely out of place. Also, why is this true, tariffs?
It’s estimated that Atlanta’s 85-acre, $118 million training center — an increase from the previous estimate of $90 million — would cost more than double to build today.
It has definitely become more obvious lately, but this isn’t new. Anti-Zionism has been conflated with Antisemitism for as long as I can remember. I remember being called a “self-hating Jew” more than 20 years ago, for probing the myth that the IDF was the “most precise and humane army in the world.” That was a common trope in the 90s and 00s, but has always been utter bullshit.
I was told I couldn’t be Jewish and called an “Arab-lover” for talking about my countless positive experiences being friends with Arabs, Palestinians, and Muslims in general. That they thought this was an insult just exposed their bigotry.
Terminology changes, but there is rarely logic to raw hatred.
In the early aughts, I asked my high school history teacher where he thought was the likeliest place for a global conflict to start. His answer was Kashmir.
I’m all for contraception, especially for men since women have had to shoulder much of this responsibility for some reason, but can we please stop naming products like this after people? It’s confusing, adds a strange biblical vibe in this case (it’s not as clever as they think), and is just not a creative way to name a consumer product or drug.
Same goes for tech products like Alexa, Claude etc. Those are already peoples’ names, come up with your own names ffs. I knew someone named Alexa a while back, and she absolutely hated that shit. She felt like her name wasn’t her own anymore.
This is state-sponsored terrorism. Absolutely despicably evil that anyone would wake up one day and think to themself “what should I do today….oh I know, let’s go traumatize some Palestinian kids by kidnapping and torturing them.” What the fuck.
What sets this government apart is the level of support and encouragement it provides to settlers, whether through supplying them with weapons or funding the creation of new outposts. This backing has enabled and emboldened settlers to carry out attacks on Palestinians, with the aim of displacing communities and annexing their land.
Wow. That’s some seriously evil bullshit.
This wasn’t just one intelligence agency’s finding, it was a report that was signed by every single intelligence agency in the US. They all explicitly agreed with the conclusion that TDA is not controlled by or affiliated with the Venezuelan government.
This is important because it makes the president’s use of the Alien Enemies Act, which requires an organized invasion by a foreign nation, patently illegal.
