i’m sorry but this entire worldview seems not just evil but deeply stupid? the far future is fake! it doesn’t exist! what matters are people here and now!
Nick Beckstead, noted longtermist and "effective altruist,” just comes out and says it:

"But it now seems more plausible to me that saving a life in a rich country is substantially more important than saving a life in a poor country, other things being equal."

My course, "Hitler and Stalin Today," is available for free online. Through 10 lectures, I examine Nazi and Soviet responses to the new globalized world they shared, and what we should have learned from the 20th century.

The Associated Press article below, titled “ICE will release body camera video only when seen in the agency’s ‘best interests,’ policy says,” speaks for itself.

ICE will release body camera video only when seen in the agency’s ‘best interests,’ policy says
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is moving to equip officers with body cameras in the next two months but the public should not expect to quickly see footage of every critical incident.

A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed.

Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean.

The Jan. 6 attackers won.
Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers
The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”

A woman’s Global Entry was revoked days after she legally observed ICE agents.

ICE agents showed up to a polling place to demand a worker remove an anti-ICE post.

A man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of left-wing magazines.

Trump’s crackdown on dissent is here. Be warned.

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me.

They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters.

In rape culture, everything a woman says means yes and nothing she says means no.

This seems to assert that though she said not to come over, said no repeatedly, struggled against Platner, an ambiguous prior comment constituted irrevocable consent. Not a shocking breach not to include it.

ICE has once again murdered one of our neighbors, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. ICE claimed that he “weaponized his vehicle,” which is the exact same lie ICE told about Renee Nicole Good, & have refused to release the bodycam footage.

We must abolish & prosecute ICE. We must destroy the American Gestapo.
ICE fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a Houston enforcement operation. His family says he was a hardworking father on his way to work. This is a deadly pattern at DHS: no transparency, no oversight, no accountability. We demand an independent investigation.

Nobody should be tracked down by federal agents for sending an email criticizing the government.

This is an egregious abuse of power and a gross attempt to chill free speech in this country.
He sent a harsh email to ICE's top official. 5 months later, federal agents tracked him down
Federal agents went to a Rochester man's home to warn him that an email he sent five months ago could be an illegal threat. He was on vacation but another agent found his hotel hundreds of miles away.

the feds have done more to harass americans angry over good and pretti’s
killings than they have to investigate them
After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi.

This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel.

They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year.

If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

If you are in any way handing it to Tucker, you are helping make sure this hell never ends.
I am genuinely bewildered by how many massive accounts share Tucker Carlson clips. What is the point of doing this? Why would anyone aid his political rehabilitation project? He's a gutter racist & desperate to gain attention from mainstream sources. He should be relegated to the margins of society.

The immense economic power of the richest Americans allows them to wield immense political power, too.

They can pour millions into our elections to elect politicians that will continue to rig the system in their favor.

We must end this vicious cycle.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected.

During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million.

In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth.

Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so.

We must get Big Money out of politics.

Ethnic Cleansing is being normalized across the globe as a 'solution' or 'response' to society's ills. From the concentration camps in the US, to pogroms in Belfast and England, to Israel's extermination campaign in Lebanon. Make no mistake, this is reshaping the world as we know it.
