Well famously when the Black Panthers had guns they had a very different tune. Hypocrisy is sorta their bread and butter

I gotchu

I've said it before, I'll say it every time it's proven again: US consumers get more protection from tech company overreach from EU courts than our own. Our agencies need to have big gnarly angelfish teeth, not this wrist slapping "as long as you share the profits it's basically legal" nonsense.

The sexualization of his daughter is perhaps the sickest bit here. In the testimony of the 13 year old that he groomed via epstein it was claimed he liked her because, "she was a virgin and reminded him of his daughter Ivanka"

I feel like the over the top weird vibes of Squid Games didn't actually go far enough when depicting the benefactors.

Reminds me of customers at the bank I used to work for who would want the teller to pick which account the money went into. Like bro, make an effort.

Reminds me of when Republicans said Obama so much they forgot his first name wasn't that. Same people and same weird racism so it makes sense.

"Jesus was a healer and he healed Trump" narrative incoming. Kamala being the new nominee stole all his thunder anyways, so who cares?

A Secret service agent there said it was a piece of glass that sliced his ear which made a lot more sense with how it looks, and is in line with Trump's retelling of the story at the RNC, (he heard a buzz go by) but it doesn't really change anything from either side. Trump would have said Jesus personally blocked the bullet no matter what and getting hit by glass rather than a bullet doesn't make it much less traumatic of an event to imagine for those of us with empathy.

Something tells me he's not going to include the Sacklers in this crusade against "drug dealers."

They're gonna be real disappointed with the version of "Tiktok" available in China

Playing into looting as a means to an end for change we want to see on the left is a political dead end. I don't care if Walmart gets robbed, neither does Walmart, their insurance may care, but Walmart and businesses like it are part of the biggest lobbying groups for increased police presence and these events are a gift to their narrative.

It's fine to say I don't care about retail theft on capital owners that rob workers every day. It's a whole other thing to say this is how we go about change as a movement and that we actively support and encourage it. Just like abortions, the edge cases that barely happen are the only ones that will be talked about endlessly in media and if we're simultaneously cheering on the more common cases where the "victim" is an oil baron it's not a good look. Nuance ain't America's strongsuit.

She was one of the first high profile people on blue sky so it's not for not trying. Even this criticism though reads a bit like "You dislike capitalism and yet you participate in it." You can criticise what you partake in, why not?
