If you haven’t already, I would recommend reading the book In Defense of Looting by Vicky Osterweil.
“Looting rejects the legitimacy of ownership rights and property, the moral injunction to work for a living, and the “justice” of law and order. Looting reveals all these for what they are: not natural facts, but social constructs benefiting a few at the expense of the many, upheld by ideology, economy, and state violence.”

For a long time we’ve existed in this world where citizens commonly say “we just should just kill THEM all” and politicians are more decorous. Trump by contrast just says what your drunk uncle says.

JD Vance literally voted AGAINST the bipartisan border bill
Because Donald Trump told him to
Trump killed the border bill because he wanted to campaign on the issue
TRUMP AND VANCE are why we don’t have a better immigration policy right now
@realTuckFrumper The woke Democrats have also created sunspots and the precession of the equinoxes.
@Free_Press The same tired vacuous 'defense' is the bogus you are being antisemetic' attack.
@chrisgeidner The current purpose of most sheriffs and many other so-called 'law enforcement' personnel is to remove humans they don't like.
@realTuckFrumper It is wonderful how egotistical tyrants feel entitled to impose their fantasy of the world on everyone else.
@realTuckFrumper Why 'must' the GOP reform a broken institution when they want it that way?

PayPal is updating their Terms of Service to automatically give merchants access to your data starting in November and they've already opted you into it.
The EU has better privacy laws than North America, so if you're there you won't even have these settings.
OPT OUT BEFORE THEY START:
Go to Settings > Data & Privacy > PayPal Shopping and toggle it to off.

@mattblaze But that is just an "opinion". My opinion may be different. How are we to judge our relative sincerity and aptness of thought?

“What does a ‘Chief Eschatology Officer’ do?”
“We plan how to maximize shareholder value during and after the end of the world”
“The end of the world caused by your company’s own actions?”
“Pretty much, yeh”
“Didn’t CEO used to stand for something different?”
“Not really”

I'm honestly a little disturbed that someone just tried to argue with me that the DOJ shouldn't be bothering with Alabama, since they turn red every election.
1. That's not the point of the DOJ - they're there to protect the interests of all Americans, not the Americans who vote blue.
2. States like Alabama routinely turn red because of voter suppression.
3. Ditching Alabama is directly harming all of the vulnerable people in the state. Like, come on.

“…when speed cameras are doing the ticketing, the proportion of tickets issued to Black and white drivers aligns closely with their respective share of roadway users. With human enforcement, in contrast, police officers stop Black drivers at a rate that far outstrips their presence on the road.”
Police stop more Black drivers...

"Kathleen Siminyu, a natural language processing researcher at the Distributed AI Research Institute, said that while pursuing her undergraduate studies in mathematics and computer science, “I had lecturers who would say things in class like, ‘We can’t have a group for a technical project that just consists of the girls, because who is going to write the code? Girls are for writing documentation.’"
