There are stages to escalate through and multiple channels to apply pressure through at the same time.

Large-scale peaceful demonstrations are an important first stage, and are still required as more intense channels are opened up.

It’s a matter of “Yes, that and more” not “No, something else”

a broader shift in military strategy away from Europe and counterterrorism

Putin is pulling US troops out of Europe. This will allow the US military to focus on it’s one consistent strength: making the world hate the US.

He paid people to vote, that’s just very clearly what he did.

It’s already illegal. Unless the rich do it, of course.

I presume it’s 4 days to live without medical intervention. The article quotes her father as commenting:

“Virginia my daughter, I love you and [am] praying for you to get the correct treatment to live a long and healthy life.”

It could definitely be true that doctors said she’s got 4 days to live … without dialysis. That could have been made clearer in the article. I suspect someone is being a little overly dramatic - to be expected of headline editors and to be forgiven of a recently car-crashed victim of sex trafficking.

When we kill CEOs it’s domestic terrorism. When they kill us it’s suicide.

I’m not racist, some of my best slaves are black.

This decision is an abuse of the legal system. It’s not a legitimate judgement and greenpeace should refuse to comply.

Incorrect. This will make our government’s imperialist invasions much easier, since our government is an extension of the russian state and the US military can only possibly get in their way.

The existence of professional sports teaches children how to arbitrarily hate people by sorting them according to team support.

You imagine a world too beautiful for humans.

Sport sucks, it’s boring and teaches kids how to sort people into us vs them based on arbitrary nonsense.

But like belief in divine agency, it’s presence across most societies throughout history probably means it’s just unfortunately a part of the human experience.

Edit: “men in womens sports”: this is absolute garbage that doesn’t happen and being worried about it marks you as gullible, hateful and ignorant.

I suspect that’s an effect of the under-education of our country. A more functional education system would probably produce fewer proudly ignorant people.

Lol it’s always projection.

Once they’re done building their migrant death camps, Homan and his fascist ilk will literally be conducting human sacrifices for the glory of their god king and his brutal regime.

WC3 also spawned the tower defense genre. But WOW just has a much wider and deeper influence, both in- and outside of video games.

A less intentionally broken education system would reduce the scale of the harm done.

The point isn’t to increase productivity it’s to tire and emiserate the minions.

All mainstream social media is owned by the rich who support the fascist coup and work to protect it.

Of course they are making up numbers. Noticing is irrelevant.

In both russian regimes you just declare what the truth is and everyone either agrees or is the enemy.

I would be shocked if the fascists haven’t already backdoored the federal payment system.

Why do you need A) a crack team of racist child-hackers with full read/write access and B) your opponents to be barred from even entering the building unless you’re planning on seizing permanent control of the systems?

Judge’s orders can’t stop them and even if there is another election, they will still control the money.

Through UCLA’s Technology Transfer Group, which transforms brilliant research into global market products, the scientists have co-founded a medical development company called Pelage Pharmaceuticals

In case you were curious how this publicly funded research is going to be turned into private profits.
