Chad Schaefer genned the image on the left, and my gen + hand-edit on the right was the most effort I've put into a meme in a while in response. The things we do for the zing.
Calling this a clown show would be a grave disservice to clowns.

Honestly he doesn't care as long as he gets some kind of a payoff.
"Iran has been an imminent threat to the US for the last 46 years."
I don't think they know what the word "imminent" means. π€
HRN has released a statement forcefully protesting the attacks by the US and Israeli governments against Iran.
In the ruins of a land of sacred minds, once believed.

Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.
It's good to link to a podcast episode on this made by the private investigator that vetted the victim and this witness. He believes the victim, and he's one of the few people privy to the facts. www.spreaker.com/episode/my-p...
Obligatory meme
Nobody is even talking about the fact that Trump has talked openly about bombing "narco terrorists" in Mexican territory, and this is probably the start of a pretext to do that just like he was doing for Venezuela and Greenland in the weeks before taking action (or trying to) against them.
Missed opportunity for Crockett to say "We've got his ass pegged," but I'll accept it.
However bad it looks in the US under Trump, if you dig into it, it almost always turns out to be much worse than you thought.
The private investigator that vetted the victim and the witnesses (Katie, Tiffany, Joan and possibly others) came out believing the allegations are real based on the evidence he was privy to. Here's his podcast on the case: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...
Or I should say what the files are telling me is that immediate outcry witnesses are treated by the FBI investigators as very strong evidence the allegations are serious and probably true, if the rest of the narrative is holding up.
Kind of depressing reading in the Epstein files about outcry witnesses. If a victim tells another person about a rape right after it happens, it's basically always true. If it's decades later, it may still be true, but it's contested.
In other news, Trump's alleged victim told a witness right way.
It's bad enough to have one unhinged lunatic on the world stage to still have to deal with Putin & Xi biding their time in the wings.
When we had dignity, class, and joy in the people's house
It seems ICE has bought a massive, massive warehouse in Hutchins, TX, not far from my home, part of an archipelago of these warehouses it's been buying with the intention to use as industrial scale "immigration" prisons. Here's what I think about that.
One of the heartbreaking files to me was EFTA00258604 because the girl obviously has talent & you can tell she spent a lot of time making this beautiful medieval style letter bc she thinks this is the man helping her reach her dreams with her art, but we know he's preying on her & will devour her. π
Just as the US is imploding, what is going on in China?

*Six cases of cancer and leukemia, radiation-linked illnesses. Needless to say we're skeptical of the official numbers and narratives. Their pattern of conduct has undermined public trust.
Our main issue has been the displaced & fragmented families, especially in partnership with the women's organizations and activists. So AFAIK we don't have any special or inside knowledge of that. (The official number is 6.) But at our next meeting I'll ask, & if someone knows I'll get back to you.
HRN has submitted a statement to the 61st Human Rights Council session for the 15th anniversary of the Fukushima disaster highlighting the problems of the lack of livelihood support, the termination of housing support, and the arbitrary evictions of evacuees.
Read the statement on our website.
HRN has submitted a written statement to the 61st session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva condemning the government of Israel's on-going genocide against Palestinians and occupation of their territory.

There is a comparison to the southern politicians that enforced Jim Crow laws & the entire cruel and racist apparatus of the state that they controlled when they turned fire hoses and dogs on to the civil rights protestors for weeks on end. I'd even say there's a direct line from then to now.
