“The dollar, human rights, and the United States of America, exist in the shared imagination of billions, and no single individual can threaten their existence… in order to change them, we must simultaneously change the consciousness of billions of people, which is not easy." 1/4

If it was only Democrats on the Epstein list, Trump would be sending it to every household in America. Sure some MAGA will forgive Trump for being on it, but how many?

"The people who wrote the constitutions of many states sought to learn the lessons of history and the horrors of religious wars by insisting on the absolute separation of religious practices from public life." - Colin Ward

The purpose of the American political system is to prevent the rise of tyranny. It has failed in that purpose.

Why does ChatGPT create garbage? Artificial blueberries are chunks made from sugars, starches and oils colored with blue and red dyes and flavored with perhaps trans-2-hexenol, trans-2-hexenal, cis-3-hexenol, cis-3-hexenal and combinations thereof. You can eat them. But they're "artificial".

Varied Sunday, read the Sermon on the Mount, cleaned the bathroom, changed oil and filter in the bike. Titanic: Ship of Dreams is a great podcast series 🚢

LAPD statement June 7th 2025: "Today, demonstrations across the City of Los Angeles remained peaceful, and we commend all those who exercised their First Amendment rights responsibly." Film everything, don't back down, don't tolerate violent people, they are often agents of security forces.

Back of the envelope calculations, but if everyone in England had an equal amount of land, that would be nearly an acre each. "It is far easier to cling to privileges if few are privy to their extent." (This was pointed out to me in "Who Owns England?" by Guy Shrubsole.)

Useful to remember when talking to people on social media. Standard Operating Procedure for agents infiltrating anti-authoritarian movements is to advocate for and help plan more and more extreme actions (see "Undercover" by Rob Evans and Paul Lewis). Another reason why non-violent action is best.

Some of the people who didn't get taken today will never be threatened again. It's the nature of the sick lottery, so Somerville community have prevented some of their neighbours from ever meeting with this ICE cruelty. Truly something to be proud of.

Killing unarmed people is an act of cowardice. Murderers are despicable. Political intent makes it terrorism. No cause is worth this.

With the Ukrainians in a fight for their lives and Putin pleased to drag this out, Trump is happy to talk pompous bollocks: 'Trump said truce talks between Russia and Ukraine would start "immediately".' When Putin only just chickened out of going to Istanbul?

Who fires a gun to tell people to get back to the approved path? Undisciplined, unaccountable, unsurprising. 'The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that its troops had fired "warning shots" to ensure the delegation did not enter "an area where they were not authorised to be" in Jenin.

Here's something I just learned: in WWII the US suffered about the same number of military deaths as the UK. And measured as a proportion of population, of course that means the UK lost a much higher percentage than the US.

People posting their takes on this, I cycle regularly, too. I strongly agree with it because too many men and boys think they can go as fast as they like through crowds of people. Fuck all the way off with that, show basic consideration for pedestrians.

Hamas terrorise the people of Gaza, they are an illegitimate government who seized total control of the territory in 2007 and haven't held an election there since. They are indifferent to the people they claim to represent. Stop killing Palestinians. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Firing on ambulances, parked, labelled, with emergency lights on. All IDF present and their command should be under investigation and it should be an assumption that it will continue until charges are brought against all responsible parties. But they are terrified of what such a trial would expose.

When a man's neighbours who have known him for 10 years form a human chain to protect him, obstructing Federal officers, they show the meaning of love, self-respect and courage. They will never forget this victory. ICE can try and grab this man elsewhere but they may never come to this street again.

Trump says now would be a 'great time to move your company' to the US. I don't think it is, authorities can kidnap anyone off a street and disappear them into a concentration camp. There will come an accounting for this though, and that will be a much better time to move your company to the US.
