Have you read Peter Edwards reporting in the Star? He’s got amazing OC / murder-for-hire sources going back way before he broke the inside scoop on the Strathroy biker massacre

This is the purpose of data centers. Not ChatGPT that yall keep screaming about. Nobody needs 40,000 acres for a search engine The future of mass surveillance & neo-feudalism (where we are headed) depends on the government AND corporations maintaining a permanent underclass using mass surveillance

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

This is correct. A serious “middle power” would be investing like mad right now in advanced knowledge right across the disciplines. It is the best reaction to the world’s greatest power seeking to return to the Middle Ages.

I think that linking worsening material conditions for working class people, out of control healthcare costs, the Democratic party being too cozy with tech billionaires, and how ALL of this ties directly to an increased risk of fascist takeovers is a much more useful explanation than "The GOP sucks"

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it. The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after. I’ve had a front row seat. 7/

To the second point, that’s all well and good, but if the intention here is to primarily a) terrorize communities; and b) maximize detentions to enrich Friends of POTUS, they won’t care about removals; they’ll just keep people detained indefinitely and administratively deny them access to counsel.

Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, the Montreal Canadians are hiding from ICE in their hotel. United States cannot host the World Cup. Nations must boycott this. Wherever you are in the world, write your politicians and say they should boycott all games playing in the United States, only play Canada/Mex.

The article quotes a single accountant who says that would be “unethical”. It provides no evidence that it would be unlawful.
