Imagine living in a country funding a livestreamed genocide, starving other countries, building concentration camps at home, shooting protestors, arresting people for abortion, & led by puppets who allowed the 1% to steal all the wealth & rape children...

& still... doing nothing. Totally cooked.

Every day I play a game called "WTF is DJT talking about?" in which I try to guess WTF he's talking about, purely based on Aaron Rupar's @atrupar.com typed quotes, because I can't bear to listen to DJT myself.

"Sure we've consistently found out that the CIA did illegal things we didn't learn about until 20 years later since the 1940's, but they've been completely trustworthy and done nothing wrong for the last 19 ยฝ years, so we have to assume they're telling the truth."

I think it's a good sign that normies today are doing things that Willem van Spronsen gave his life doing only 7 years ago.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

In Iowa, Prosecutors Want to Bring Back Court Fees as Bargaining Chips The stateโ€™s high court recently ended the practice of making defendants pay fees for charges that get dismissed. Prosecutors are backing legislation to undo the courtโ€™s ruling so they can keep using fees as leverage for plea deals.

I empathize with this person. I really do. But:

1) We tried to warn y'all about these fashy VC billionaire losers for decades. I didn't lose any heroes in the Epstein file revelations.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

2) The people I love don't "shrug or tacitly support" ethnic cleansing. Because the people I love, aren't nazis.

NEW: In Iowa, when someone's charges are *dismissed,* they still had to pay court fees. So prosecutors pressured ppl into pleading guilty: 'plead guilty, you'll have no fees. (If you win, you'll owe $$.)'

Iowa's Supreme Court struck that down in January... but prosecutors want to bring it all back:

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

Americans by Name, Punished for Believing It In a small Alaska town, American Samoans face prosecution for voting in the only country theyโ€™ve ever known. They live in a limbo, created by colonial expansion, that now confuses even public officialsโ€”and has made them a new target for policing voter fraud.

American Samoans occupy a strange in-between as U.S. nationals but not citizens. They pay taxes, have Social Security numbers, and can join the militaryโ€”but they canโ€™t vote. A voter fraud case in Alaska highlights their unusual predicament.

Always good to remember how the revolutionaries thought cops should be treated. Hours of spitting, insulting, throwing objects hard enough to knock them down, and so on, but they didn't get any convictions for the protestors.

Modern "patriots", meanwhile:

"Crispus Attucks should have complied!"

I immediately thought of coconut water vendors at the chickenbus stops in Guatemala with their little sandwich baggies tied up with the straw.

In christofascist America, we have to protest in the streets because local cops beat the shit out of our kids because our kids protested in the streets because federal cops are kidnapping kids

This is one of the silliest headlines I've read in a long time.

Gen Z and Millennials are making smart choices for their health ("gut healthy juices") and for their wallets (Costco rotisserie are $5 for an ENTIRE ALREADY COOKED CHICKEN *in this economy*).

Leave these (not-so-)young people ALONE.

Lutnick last year on his visit to Epstein's house in 2005: "My wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again." (Lutnick testified under oath today that he visited Epstein's island in 2012.)

The video is of course of Aurora IL PD cops beating the fuck out of minor kids exercising their constitutionally protected rights to assembly and speech to protest police state brutality against their friends and family

In Bay Area, Felony Charges Against Student Protesters Prompt Free Speech Concerns Local prosecutors are seeking felony-level charges against pro-Palestine demonstrators. Even if they donโ€™t stick, critics say the response is harsh and could chill protests.

The Santa Clara County DA has pursued felony charges for several pro-Palestine student protesters from Stanford University and is seeking $329,000 in restitution. โ€œIt would ruin my family financially for the rest of our lives,โ€ says one defendant.
