Ah, so maybe people actually prefer that to the Republican platform of “we’ll take all your money and give it to billionaires, deny you healthcare and education, kidnap your friends and family and, if you complain, shoot you in the street.”

Don’t tolerate pro-MAGA Canadian Conservatives either. They’re working against Canada.

I was saying Voo-ance.

Tax money must be taken from the poor and spent on the rich, not the other way round.

White House blames a staffer

That staffer’s name? David Dennison.

I have spent almost my whole life outside the USA myself, and though I saw these things in American movies etc., I wasn’t really aware of how little Americans know about what’s going on in the world, and how tilted all the information they consume is, in school and in the general culture, until I spent some time living in the USA. You make a good point though, and I wasn’t the most perceptive.

Americans are subjected to extreme levels of propaganda from childhood onward, and the propaganda is just subtle enough that many don’t see it for what it is. I think it’s hard for outsiders to appreciate this, but if you dig into American news sources it’s quite shocking how twisted it all is.

The documents also allege Trump’s involvement in murders of girls he and his friends raped.

Bit rich coming from an orange shitgibbon.

There are two theories beginning to appear everywhere right now: that Epstein worked for Russia and that Epstein is still alive. Both smell very much like deliberate attempts to muddy the waters and confuse people into giving up on the truth. We shouldn’t let ourselves be distracted. Epstein is almost certainly dead and probably worked for Mossad, perhaps with some freelance blackmail for others too. And the main issue now is to get the rest of the files released and unredact the names and crimes of the perpetrators whom Trump’s DOJ is determined to protect.

Maybe rename it to Fuck Trump the Pedo Station for a bit of malicious compliance?

And they always could be racist and sexist out loud. People just told them they didn’t like it. So it’s about violently silencing any criticism that might hurt their bigoted snowflake feelings. The whole “free speech” and “small government” and “anti-cancel culture” bit was just the lies fascists use while they prepare the machinery of violence.

Seems like the only thing they redacted very diligently was the names of the perpetrators.

I wonder if they gave considered crowdsourcing this, having many people type in small chunks of the data by hand, doing their own character recognition? Get enough people in and enough overlap and the process would have some built-in error correction.

Schumer will already be making the calls to line up those “moderates” so he can pretend he tried.

Amazon abuses employees, destroys the environment, attacks unions, kills local businesses, sells fake crap, spies on us, supports a violent fascist US regime that threatens to invade my country, and is causally responsible for that godawful stunt where Katy Perry spent 2 minutes in space then made us all stupider with the dumbest interview in the history of dumb interviews. Any one of these is a great reason not to shop with them.

The theology of “burn it all down so God can destroy the bad ones and we good ones can get our reward from God” is childish, selfish and lazy. No wonder it’s so popular compared to doing the kind of hard work Jesus did.

Until recently the Canadian government was pushing Bill C-2:

Canada’s Bill C-2 Opens the Floodgates to U.S. Surveillance (EFF)

They have now tried to tone it down a bit in Bill C-12 but there are still serious concerns:

Joint statement: Bill C-12’s introduction solves none of Bill C-2’s problems (Amnesty International)

So Canada’s government talks tough, but in actual legislation they seem oddly eager to appease the USA at the expense of Canadians.

I believe Canada is also introducing legislation to increase the amount of data on its citizens that it shares with the USA. In the current climate these moves seem crazy. But I guess only fascists and billionaires (and billionaire fascists) get to decide what happens.

Fascists don’t make a case. They just use force. In their view, argument and reason are for the weak, and the weak should not live.
