🇬🇧 @mrjamesob.bsky.social : “Live-streaming an execution is absolutely medieval. These people (Hegseth, Trump, etc) claim to be Christians — it’s like they’re doing a tribute act to ISIS.”

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

it's a bit concerning that instead of responding to obvious political incentives and moderating on some of their worst and most unpopular policies, the Trump administration is getting more and more extreme

Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution. If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea.

It's as if he is TRYING to lose the midterms. With historically low approval ratings, it would be wise to avoid the press altogether. Instead, he gives TIME magazine this bonkers, unhinged & l-e-n-g-t-h-y stream-of consciousness interview, pathologically lying throughout. shorturl.at/PMvVB

So this is scary stuff, CEO of one of the largest AI firms (I think OpenAI), says AI will be taking over the entire internet within 6 to 12 months. REALLY looking forward to that, aren't you? Just sent an email to my club, and half the email was missing at the other end. Maybe AI is already here.

Don't think the people should be allowed to protest against you? Then just put a fence around the public spaces where they go to do it and lock them out. Every dictator knows this trick, right? It's easier to get away with than just shooting them.
