  Between this, Epstein and his cohorts, being anti-vax and anti-science, doing nothing about gun control, preventing queer kids from learning about themselves and getting support, the abolishment of the Department of Education- when these people "think of the children" it's in the most cruel and callous way possible.

• On the post: Beware: Government Using Image Manipulation For Propaganda

  If you cant tell the difference between a news agency reporting on a murder, and the government making blatantly false and racist statements about someone they've arrested and are charging with a felony, I don't know what to tell you.

• On the post: The Casual Cruelty Of The GOP’s Migrant Purge

  Or how about the mother with a 5-month-old baby and recently discovered heart condition who was arrested and sent to a detention center 1,100 miles away from her child and her primary physician? Are you cool with that, Trump voters?

  Of course they are. They voted for a pedophile, con man, and convicted felon, who is nothing but petty and vindictive. They held up "mass deportation now" signs at his rallies. They stand by him and defend even now as ICE commits countless atrocities and murders people in the streets. Even threating gun control only gave them the briefest of pause. The cruelty to anyone who is not part of maga is entirely the point. Their empathy knows no existence at all.

  That's exactly how abusers talk. "Don't fight back. Its your own fault if I hurt you."

• On the post: JD Vance: Children Of People Seeking Asylum Are Illegals That Need To Be Deported

  

  Heart of Dawn ( profile ), 29 Jan, 2026 @ 04:35pm

  I'm scared of the thought that as bad as Trump is, Vance will be so much worse. A) because he's not old and senile, a B) because he's so utterly unlikeable that he's going to triple down on trumpian tactics in order to hold onto the maga base. Our only hope is that he is so unlikeable even that's not enough to keep him around.

• On the post: “We’re Too Close To The Debris”: Airplanes Dodge The Remains Of Exploding SpaceX Rockets

  

  Heart of Dawn ( profile ), 21 Jan, 2026 @ 04:41pm

  Rockets occasionally explode, especially early in their lives when they are new and unproven. That's the nature of several tons fuel and oxidizer being pumped at high pressure into a combustion chamber where they burn at a rate only slightly slower than explosively, while wrapped in a vehicle designed to be as light as humanly possible. Space companies are well aware of that fact and most of them will test and engineer the hell out of the engines and other systems before ever approaching the pad to try and minimize the risk of that happening. But not SpaceX, who's "move fast and break things" approach includes rockets, test stands, launch mounts, vehicles parked nearby, workers, and potentially aircraft in the area.

  Keeping rural America poor, uneducated, and afraid is also how the republican party stays in power. So that works for him too.

  which is more trauma.

  It also tells the kids that they are unacceptable as they are and "need fixing" without input or consent.

  The pro-life party is going to have even more dead, traumatized, and permanently injured kids in its hands. Just like their god intended.

• On the post: Prosecutors Flee DOJ After Being Told To Investigate The Murdered Woman, Not The Murderer

  

  Heart of Dawn ( profile ), 14 Jan, 2026 @ 04:49pm

  Even if she was antifa or part of some terrorist organization, that doesn't justify murder in cold blood as a) due process is still a thing, and b) Ross didn't know that at the time. You can't simply justify things after the fact. But MAGA doesn't care about facts or logic, so why should it care about the linear flow of time?

  Heart of Dawn ( profile ), 14 Jan, 2026 @ 04:19pm

  As always, the cruelty is the point.

  Give that they are rounding up people to be tortured and killed in concentration camps, I'm only surprised the number is not higher. This administration is enabling and endorsing them to get away with literal murder.

  And no libs were actually owned

  "I bought this Trump phone to own the libs!" Did you ever get the phone? "No, but those libs will be feeling so totally owned when I do!"

  Heart of Dawn ( profile ), 08 Jan, 2026 @ 11:55am

  At least the Escobar gold phone scam had the decency to send some phones to customers in order to keep the grift alive. I'm not sure whether this is laziness, incompetence, or simply an acknowledgement that their base is dumb enough that they can just reel them in without any effort at all.

• On the post: Abolish ICE Before They Kill Again, Impeach Trump & Noem Before They Incite More Murder

  

  Heart of Dawn ( profile ), 08 Jan, 2026 @ 11:00am

  ICE is the perfect job for the kind of weak and pathetic men who believe that masculinity comes from exercising power over others, and doing it cruelly. And this goes all the way to the top. Not only does ICE need to be abolished, but also the system that created it in the first place. As it stands, things are only going to get worse. So much worse.

• On the post: ICE Deports Man To Guatemala, Blowing Off Ruling That Said He Was Likely To Be Tortured There

  

  Heart of Dawn ( profile ), 11 Dec, 2025 @ 11:58am

  Judge: You can't send him to Guatemala, he'll be tortured there. ICE: that's entirely the point. They don't worry about breaking the law, or about how inhumane they are, they revel in it. Unless and until they face actual serious consequences for their actions (unlikely while Trump is in office) they are going to party like it's 1984.

• On the post: Radicalized Anti-AI Activist Should Be A Wake Up Call For Doomer Rhetoric

  

  Heart of Dawn ( profile ), 05 Dec, 2025 @ 01:42pm

  AI, especially under the current LLM approach will never go full Skynet and eradicate humanity with killer robots. No, it's so, so very much dumber than that. It's going to kill a lot of people by sucking vast amounts resources and polluting the environment, and then even more by poisoning the legal, medical, educational, and social systems we rely on with bigoted (remember it's trained on the internet) and misinformed slop. And that's before people like Musk deliberately twist them to suit their own ends. GenAI needs to be massively reigned in but not on the way, and not for the reasons StopAI insist. To paraphrase Milo Rossi, you don't need something shadowy to get mad at, you can get mad at what's actually there.
