Broken down by party, 66 percent of Democrats, 20 percent of Republicans and 55 percent of independents surveyed said that the U.S. is backing Israel too much.

Supporting genocide is no longer a moderate position.

Supporting genocide is no longer a moderate position.
In a resolution approved by 283 votes to 199 and 85 abstentions, MEPs say that after five decades of a communist regime Cuba is close to being a failed state. They stress that the current humanitarian emergency -89% of families living in extreme poverty- is “not the product of any external embargo but the direct consequence of the regime's own model and failures”.
The cosmological principle holds that the universe is homogeneous (the same everywhere) and isotropic (the same in all directions). A quick glance at the night sky shows this cannot be true at all levels, because the void of space is dotted with dense clumps of stars. Nevertheless, cosmologists assume the universe is essentially uniform and featureless when averaged over sufficiently long length scales
Previous studies typically asked the question: Given a galaxy at any one point, how likely is it to find another galaxy at a particular distance, regardless of direction? “In general, people measure the probability function of the distance,” Sylos Labini says. “Here we are measuring how it varies with both distance and angle.”
To do that, the researchers sliced the DESI map into 2D slices, examined pairs of galaxies separated by a given distance, and looked for patterns in how those pairs were oriented. In a homogenous universe, those directions should be randomly and evenly distributed. Instead, the researchers found significant correlations in the directions, suggesting the distribution of galaxies remains stringy over much larger distances than lambda-CDM simulations predict.
However, David Spergel, a cosmologist at the Flatiron Institute, is skeptical of the new claim. If structures extend across billions of light-years, he says, their gravity should dramatically distort the lingering afterglow of the Big Bang, the cosmic microwave background (CMB). “The result very much appears to be in contradiction with much more sensitive measurements from the microwave background.” Sarkar counters that if Spergel and others can use observations of the CMB to rule out the new result, “then they should do it.”
Now that's some good science smack talk.
e: also side note, the Flatiron Institute is privately funded from the fortune of hedge fund manager Jim Simons (known for unprecedented profits). Both Jim and David appear in some certain files.
ACUCAB just doesn't have the same snap to it, but Under Capitalism is an important distinction indeed. Reminds me of a Parenti quote about why socialist states have to have a significant level of state authority because of constant capitalist incursions and subterfuge.
This "Good" Cop / "Bad" Cop routine has been going on for decades. Both parties are still cops and ACAB.
He died of acute high velocity irony to the neck.
Still better than capitalism according to them though.
And I'm sure the polling methodology by the Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile was completely nonbiased, and respondents still view it more positively.
So what was grandma doing in the 1940s?
The nutritional value of currency is normally quite lacking.
A recent poll conducted by INSCOP Research for the Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile (IICCMER) reveals that more than half of Romanians (55.8%) believe that the communist regime was "rather a good thing for Romania."
What was grandma doing in the 1940s?
Lockheed Martin firmly believes in the value of a diverse workforce for designing and building war crimes platforms!
chances are, you're basically a posadist already
we're all waiting for something...

Asked Tuesday if Americans’ financial situations were motivating him to make a deal to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, Trump said: “Not even a little bit,” adding: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”
Send this meme to the boomers in your life.
It's from a terribly racist movie from 1939 that they probably saw way too many times in their lives.

Palantir is the profit-driven offshoot of this program. It's mostly infrastructure for privatized mass surveillance services. Also why the push for age verification and ID is happen alongside this.

The funny part is that the USA doesn't have enough electric generation infrastructure to power more than a small sliver of all the planned AI data centers.
