This. Today's ruling is primarily a multidimensional failure of the judicial branch, not really its robustness in the face of authoritarianism. This should never have been a SCOTUS case in the first place, & it shouldn't have taken over a year to get here.

The greed and the racism
And the kompromat

Consider how many of them might be in the Epstein Files -
do what they want; you get paid
refuse to do what they want; you get exposed

That's how Putin controls his Duma too

Trump made numerous statements today about how great America is doing and how bad it was before him. Where are the numbers? Show us proof that the Tariffs did anything positive! Give us some spreadsheets. It's all BS and lies. Our economy was much better under Biden and the numbers clearly show us.

New policy from ICE is they now can arrest and detain permanent residents after 1 year if they are "failing to adjust to permanent resident status".

China is becoming a green superpower as Trump retreats from climate goals - BBC News How the world's biggest carbon emitter is now at the helm of a renewables revolution.

The country's leader told UN in 2020 that China would aim to hit peak emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. This goal now appears to be within reach.

Meanwhile Trump has been pedalling back US commitment to green energy

The targets of DonOLDโ€™s criminal administration are women, children, POC, and all minority groups. Unless you are a white male, they donโ€™t give a crap about you. This is Christo Fascism, not democracy. It is up to us to fix this. And call your representatives!

Ask CBS. Colbert had nothing to do with it. In term of the why, it could mean the regime is afraid Talarico will appeal to some of their base and don't want him platformed.

Exactly. If the whole "heal the country" thing Is similar to Lincoln's thinking, we're screwed. You don't keep cancer in the body; you don't allow those who went to war against freedom and democracy for all to keep power knowing they have the same ideology as when they started the war.

Trump coverup massively the Epsteinโ€™s crimes, exposes the victims, protects the predators. Now the UN denounces sexual slavery and femicide, these are crimes against humanity and must be prosecuted. But as long as political distraction works, everything is fine!

Watching big tech companies use things I deeply loved - things that creative humans shed sweat and tears over - as their personal urinals time and again has been demoralizing.

That's why this year I'm finding as many alternatives to big tech products as I can. Want recs? I got your back.

Ditched everything Amazon and Meta have their paws in years ago, and that wasn't even that hard. Detaching from Google and Microsoft is going to be a year-long project, and it's only February, but so far:

Gmail/Outlook --> Proton
Chrome --> Vivaldi
Google Drive --> CryptPad

FELLOW AMERICANS:

We are NOT powerless. When we raise our voices, united, in opposition, people and CORPORATIONS are forced to listen.

Ring backing down from Flock is just the latest example. We have to keep the pressure on to prevent a police state. You won't be using MY DATA to ensnare anyone.

There is plenty evidence that tRump is a pedophile.
There is plenty evidence that a lot of rich men are pedophiles.
tRump's corrupt lawyers, formerly known as the DOJ, only job is to prosecute tRump's perceived enemies.
They have no intention of upholding the law.
