EU claims that sanctions remain on the table re: Israel and its annexationism but I think it's pretty clear at this point that there will not ever be any comprehensive and European wide action. Best you can hope for is like, France doing something on its own

The Road to Prairieland The crackdown on anti-ICE activists in Texas reflects a pattern of intensifying repression all around the country.

Pay attention to the Prairieland case.

By saddling the defendants with indiscriminate charges, holding them without bail, and isolating them from lawyers and the public, prosecutors are attempting to terrorize them into signing guilty pleas in order to set a precedent criminalizing dissent itself.

JOHNSON FOUND GUILTY OF MULTIPLE SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN (Hernando County, FL) Today, the Office of State Attorney Bill Gladson of the Fifth Judicial Circuit announces the conviction of 45-year-old Andrew Paul Johnson on charges related to his 2025 arrest. In the courtroom of Judge Stephen E. Toner, Johnson was found guilty of Lewd or Lascivious Molestation of a Victim less than 12 years of age, Lewd or Lascivious Molestation of a Victim 12 years of age or older but less than 16 years of age, two counts of Lewd or Lascivious Exhibition, and Transmission of Material Harmful to a Minor by Electronic Device. Johnson will be sentenced at a later date but faces a 25-year minimum-mandatory sentence, with exposure of up to Life in prison.

When law enforcement arrived on scene, they were informed by the complainant that two juvenile victims stated they were both inappropriately touched by Johnson. Furthermore, the complainant provided deputies with a cell phone found in possession of the first victim, who indicated Johnson had provided the device to talk to them. Additionally, authorities observed numerous messages on a computer from the Discord application between one of the victims and Johnson that were sexually explicit in nature. Deputies photographed the inappropriate images and communications. In the messages, Johnson attempted to have the victim download another application for a more private conversation and encouraged the victim to delete their messages afterwards. Law enforcement and You Thrive Child Advocacy Center's child protective team conducted interviews with both victims. The first victim recounted specific details of events, as well as various locations where these acts occurred. The victim disclosed that some incidents occurred in the presence of the second victim.

So many examples of Trump
protecting predators!! Trump Pardoned J6er, Andrew Paul Johnson, has been convicted in Florida on multiple child sex crime charges, including lewd molestation and transmission of harmful material to a minor. He faces 25-years to life. Trump calls J6ers heroes!

I really hope the entire country takes note of Pam Bondi’s performance today because she was in front of Congress to talk about trafficked children and refused to answer a question. This is how low we've gone.

The Mega-Rich Are Turning Their Mansions Into Impenetrable Fortresses Anxiety over high-profile violence has the wealthy spending big on armed security, bunkers and even moats to keep themselves safe from intruders.

They see what’s coming. Do you?

We don't hate Donald Trump enough, but we ABSOLUTELY don't hate his cabinet members enough.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Listen folks, Pam Bondi was Attorney General of Florida from 2011 to 2019 so she's been covering up Epstein's crimes for a loooooong-ass time

"And a campaign spokesperson said Krishnamoorthi, a U.S. representative and a Democrat from Schaumburg, “welcomes anyone who supports” his mission."

Yeah, see, that's the problem with your mission.

I’m really specific about not using ableist language..

This is why

Yeah uhm harm to dogs is a huge neon flag . And her behavior shows she’s in control of her faculties when she does this

We don’t need an armchair diagnosis or even her humiliation we need this woman away from power

This is a pogrom

Ask someone in the Netherlands. Some of the old Nazi camps are still there.

In general a lot of moderate liberals find it very annoying that leftists, radical liberals, and libertarians all end up at open borders, missing the "obvious" middle ground position, but the thing is that if you examine the issue at all, borders are pretty damn hard to actually justify

"Fans inside the game waved over 25,000 'ICE OUT' flags that were passed out by Contra ICE during a separate protest close to the entrance to the stadium. The flags were a notable feature of Bad Bunny’s halftime performance."

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

If you weren't following events in Gaza in 2023/early 2024, know that when the first photos of atrocities appeared, people lined up to shout that they were fake or staged. Now we know that not only were they real, the US actively worked to suppress the truth of the reports.

The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy What is violence? Who gets to define it? Does it have a place in the pursuit of liberation? This discussion never takes place on a level playing field.

What is violence?

Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you?

Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone?

Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should ask—

Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?

What has China done to weaken the rules based order?

literally I was at a DFL precinct caucus this evening and we unanimously approved a resolution to repeal Minnesota's anti-BDS law

"Violent attacks by Israeli #settlers against Palestinian civilians have surged, livestreamed on TikTok and Instagram.
At the same time, TikTok bans criticism of Zionists: calling someone a Zionist as an insult is considered hate speech,while declaring“I’m a proud Zionist” is allowed"(PalTimes News)

I hope people will listen to what we learned in Minneapolis and take some of the same sense of hope from it that we did.
