[CrimethInc] Trump campaign aims to use today's shooting as a sort of Reichstag fire to incite his supporters to step up street violence by detectivemittens in c/[email protected]

I was worried about this since people were whipping a frenzy about how this had to be antifa.

The shooter is a white male gun enthusiast Republican. How awkward for MAGA.

Maybe it’s just morbid fascination with the slow motion trainwreck that’s Twitter?

I’m glad this ruling happened. Why was there this law in the first place? The lengths that people go to twist the law to be cruel to other people is awful.

Israel Responds to Hamas Crimes by Ordering Mass War Crimes in Gaza by detectivemittens in c/[email protected]

The problem here is that people often conflate Israel and Judaism as one and the same, when that’s absolutely not the case. You can have problems with how Israel operates as a nation without being antisemitic. It’s hard to have any nuanced conversations about Israel and Palestine if you don’t grok this.

This is giving me “how do you do, fellow kids” vibes.

I don’t think China has ever even tried to pretend it’s the land of the free.

Poll: A historic number of Americans don't want a Biden-Trump rematch by detectivemittens in c/[email protected]

Yeah. I don’t know why the Dems aren’t running someone younger…

I wasn’t thrilled about Biden either, but I think Biden handled negotiations with Europe for Ukraine very well.

But yeah, I get jealous every time I look at other countries’ leadership and see how young they are…

This should be the top comment in anything related to Activision-Blizzard so that people don’t forget. And Bobby Kotick is STILL CEO.

Good. The last thing we need right now is anything that perpetuates anti-trans garbage.

A friend said he warned Stockton Rush about possible defects on the Titan in 2019 after hearing 'cracking' noises by detectivemittens in c/[email protected]

The nicest thing I can say about this guy is… umm… he died doing what he loved?

US murder rate declines dramatically in 2023 — but you probably haven't heard about it by detectivemittens in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

This is why profit-driven news isn’t great. A headline on how murder rates have declined isn’t clickworthy.

Trump adviser faces possible disbarment over his efforts to overturn 2020 election by detectivemittens in c/[email protected]

According to the article, this lawyer also clerked for Clarence Thomas. It’s insane that Thomas is still a Supreme Court justice:

Clarence Thomas’s wife Ginni Thomas pushed officials to try and overturn the 2020 election results.
He was the only dissenting justice in the Supreme Court’s vote to approve the turnover of Trump documents to the Jan 6th committee
He is friends with Harlan Crow, a billionaire who is a part of a group called Club for Growth. This club has donated millions to GOP candidates that supported overturning the 2020 election results.
