#FREELUD UPDATES:
- Lud moved to Louisiana illegally against court order
- habeas corpus filed, second lawyer obtained, strong asylum case pending
- expenses rising: DONATE gofund.me/ecba5131b
- he is physically okay and in good spirits
- #FREELUD Discord server in the works

I think it’s important to remember how much time, effort, and money goes into to amplifying exactly this. I mean, just look at how much Fox pays Hannity, and that’s just one contract.

I am very tired of living a society that will feign outrage at innocuous bullshit for clicks and clout, but will turn around and normalize the "president" openly stating he'll defy the supreme court and can destroy the nation.

UPDATE from one of Lud’s closer friends:

- someone spoke to him last night at 2 AM

- he is aware of all the fundraising and advocacy the FGC is doing

- he laughed at how much money we’ve raised

- the guards are rude (shocker), but he is physically okay

✨ KEEP POSTING #FREELUD

The Panama papers and Epstein list are probably concentric circles on a Venn Diagram or at the very least have huge overlap. We should get rid of the billionaire class—try, convict, and jail any who are in the #EpsteinFiles and then tax the rest out of existence. #MakeBillionairesAfraidAgain

Americans believe the Epstein files show the powerful get a pass, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds reut.rs/4aTyMpo

I'm begging people to stop listening to FGC social media when it comes to the endless complaints and dooming.

Social media will try to convince you SF6 is an irredeemable shitpile when it is quite literally capcoms best fighting game in over a decade, and arguably even longer than that.

The entire voice call I was in yelled "THIS GAME IS STUPID" when this happened it was peak

YouTube video by PBS Terra The ONE SECRET to Surviving Climate Collapse

The recent Weathered episode dives into how to deal with climate crises, and how inequality and oligarchy indicate an increased risk of disaster. I think it’s worth a watch.

“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.”

“No,” her husband said.

I urge you to read this today.

Trump's DOJ seeks examples of 'egregious' judges for Congress to review President Donald Trump's administration ramped up its pressure on the U.S. judiciary on Tuesday, with the Justice Department saying it has asked federal prosecutors to supply it with the "most egregious examples" of judges impeding his agenda so Congress could take action against them.

YouTube video by KMFDM - Topic OUBLIETTE

I was listening to one of the new KMFDM songs, Oubliette, and the spoken word bit stood out to me:

"No human is illegal
Tyranny is limited by the endurance of the oppressed
Freedom is not a reward for good behavior
It's a human right."

Companies reap $22bn from Trump’s immigration crackdown Palantir and Deloitte among beneficiaries of spending by government agencies

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

I don’t think we’re going to get out of this political hell hole unless both parties change drastically. I can see a few people who could potentially lead the democrats to a better place, but I struggle to see any salvageable leadership for the republicans.

Mamdani out here delivering on his promises left and right to massive approval.

Meanwhile establishment Dems shit their pants daily, coughing up leverage against an administration on the ropes.

Democratic Socialism fucking works, primary all these useless clods and get people who will serve us.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.

Not one more penny for ICE.

Arizona and over 20 other states have denied the Trump administration's requests for their full voter registration lists.

Arizona's Secretary of State, who previously oversaw elections Maricopa County, explains why.

Today should be another reminder that when billionaires take control of vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech or "free markets."

It’s a win for oligarchy.

Tomorrow, the last remaining arms control agreement between the US and Russia expires. The end of New START Treaty removes the final restraints on an accelerating nuclear arms race.
