The far right criticizes NATO when they either don’t do “enough” by their standards (even though NATO is purely a defensive alliance), or “too much” by defending against Russian aggression.

Counter-probe the U.S. for forced labor in the American federal and state prison systems.

Generative AI products in general need to be better regulated. With more and more consumers trusting the output of LLMs, companies can use them to collect more consumer data than ever before and infuse marketing and propaganda into LLM outputs with no distinction, to the detriment of the genuine sources of information upon which they depend.

They are losing in the context of not being able to benefit from those resources themselves at a later point.

Preventing Iran from acquiring a bomb is one of Trump’s stated war aims

Something that could have been achieved through continued negotiations, resulting in far fewer lives lost and less money wasted. Assassinating Iran’s leaders and threatening to invade only serves to bolster their justifications for seeking nuclear weapons in the first place.

Agreed; I was just disagreeing with the article’s implication that the U.S.'s involvement in Ukraine under Trump has been in any way beneficial.

Ukraine has been a forgotten war in the eyes of the U.S. ever since Trump became president; he doesn’t care about a conflict unless there’s something in it for him to gain.

Trump knowingly and willfully put their lives in danger.

We’ve known Trump is a liar since long before he ran for office, that’s not news.

Truth Social is not indie, and an indie Nazi is still a Nazi.

People need homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, and infrastructure, not a football stadium.

I’m guessing they geoblock Europe to avoid needing to comply with the GDPR.

I wouldn’t call it a backslide—that implies policies actively getting worse—more of a slowdown.
