I follow many analysts on here who support the war. They never hesitate to defend Israel from what they see as unfair criticism. But they have yet to comment on any of the numerous self-documented IDF war crimes committed since the war began. What they can’t defend, they ignore.
Israeli soldier admits he murdered an unarmed elderly Palestinian man who had his arms up in the air & begged to spare his life.
The other soldiers applaud & praise him for it, shake his hand, give him a pat on the shoulder & say "all the respect"!

One of the strongest defenders of your 4th Amendment Right to Privacy, Justin Amash, is running for office. If you're in Michigan, you should vote for him and not his opponent—who personally backed surveillance programs so extreme that our courts had to declare them illegal.
From the Bank Secrecy Act to the Patriot Act, Treasury regulations to the third-party doctrine, the federal government has transformed financial institutions and payment processors into branches of the intelligence community, using society’s need to transact with money as leverage to violate the right of the people to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures.
We must upend the surveillance state and uphold the Fourth Amendment, our privacy, and our liberty.

As long as they continue to arm Israel, with no conditions or strings attached, they have not in fact ‘lose their patience’ with Israel - no matter how many times they leak their alleged anger and frustration with Bibi to the press.
The strong messages Gantz received in private, which were accompanied by stronger public criticism from the Biden administration in the last 48 hours, signal the White House has lost its patience and is ratcheting up pressure on the Israeli government

People go through their whole lives without realizing that if, like, one conference center's worth of open source developers all happened to disappear at the same time, humanity would end up gnawing bones in a cave by the end of the year.
I don't know your names, but thank you.

The idea that absolutely any level of anti-social self-interest can be justified through the signs and sigils of the "AI Safety" panic is just diseased. It's beyond anti-social, actually. It's anti-human.

OpenAI confessing 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠 to a belief that "as we get closer to building AI, it will make sense to start being less open... but it's totally OK to not share the science..." is about as bad of a heel-turn as it gets.

In 1982, Senator Biden boasted to Israeli Prime Minister Begin that he would have killed even more Arab women and children than Israel had in their invasion of Lebanon. The Israeli Prime Minister was horrified by Biden's remarks.

The fatal attraction of government is that it allows busybodies to impose decisions on others without paying any price themselves. That enables them to act as if there were no price, even when there are ruinous prices paid by others.

There’s only one candidate in this Senate race with a record of standing against the Patriot Act.

I don’t need as much campaign cash as the establishment candidates to win this Senate race. But I do need enough to fund an operation that will get my message out and expose the voting records of my opponents. I’m counting on you. Please consider donating: secure.justinamash.com/donat…
