Fear == power. They’re criminals.

These complaints are just excuses for criming and theft. They’re absurd statements on behalf of a corrupt global syndicate. Why do we entertain them by airing their bs? We validate their criminal worlds by trying to reconcile their ideas with rationality. They’re criminals.

As soon as someone from the GoP criticizes their own party, the left responds with applause and warm hearts. Look at George Conway, MTG….Parnas is a real danger. The left is so moderate that they’re duped by these β€œrehabilitated” ppl all seeking the levers of power.

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far and they cut their heads off, when those in charge get above themselves, the French stop working and they remember who holds the power. Don’t forget your power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

β€œEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

Trump has fully shattered the world we all grew up in. It’s a dramatic break from how things worked before, even compared to the Iraq War and other misadventures - the United States abruptly tumbling over a cliff and becoming literally more reckless and domineering than Putin’s Russia.

This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/

The No World Order Meir Kahane, Netanyahu, Trump, and the war beyond Iran.

New article! I wrote about Iran, Israel, the US, and the long history of criminal extremism that led to this point. Also covered: Trump, Kushner, Epstein, and nukes. Take your time β€” and please share if you find it useful!

Thought the article sits behind a paywall, and I can’t see the evidence supporting the claim, I’m with you, Kate. I suspect that people who value care for one another are as well.

An IMPORTANT message from Liz Oyer, former DOJ Pardon Attorney:

She says that Pam Bondi announced a new rule that would stop state bar associations from investigating misconduct by DOJ lawyers.

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

β€œPolice reported that Johnson, 45, tried to keep the children quiet by telling them he would share millions of dollars in restitution money he expected to receive from the Trump administration in connection with his Jan. 6 case.”

There are several targets. The most damaging is the part of the bill that requires all states to turn their voter rolls over to the feds. PA has been fighting this for a long time. See Jenny Cohn (@jennycohn.bsky.com) who has been investigating voting security for a long time.

Opinion | He Didn’t Kill Anyone. Alabama Is About to Execute Him Anyway.

Sonny Burton is on death row in AL for a murder he didn't commit. He participated in a robbery, left early, & his accomplice killed a man, getting life without parole on appeal. The jury who tried him & the victim's family don't want Burton executed.

But Gov. Kay Ivey never commutes sentences.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
