Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.
“As far as calling him out, definitely no regrets whatsoever. … I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that,” Sabula told The Washington Post.
Fucking amen brother.
I doubt there were that many voters who oppose project2025 but were swayed away from kamala by thinking it’s not real.
About 30% of us adults voted R. 30-35% is about the maximum support that fascism can muster. Voter suppression won the election, not any particular policy or lie.
They’re fucking nazis and they’re doing violent nazi shit.
“ominous historical overtones” my ass. Call it what it is.
50% of the population wasn’t saying that, a widespread disinfo campaign funded by our corrupt oligarchs was spreading that talking point.
Affordability AND anti-corruption would be better.
That would give them a mandate to go after regime insiders for their many openly committed financial crimes.
But the Dems would rather let fascism win if the alternative is jailing the rich for their crimes.
Coprolite makes a great insult. I’m sure we can all think of some prominent fossilized turds.
Of course real coprolites are wealth of information and a welcome find, unlikely the fucking coprolites who seized control of the US.
Alerting venezuela to the risk might have foiled the operation.
Galvanizing public opinion beforehand might have led them to rethink. Continuing against public opinion costs more political capital than selling it after it’s already done. Authoritarian regimes can ignore public opinion more than representative ones, but they still can’t ignore it entirely.
Maybe reporting the story wouldn’t change the outcome, but it’s a possibility.
to avoid endangering US troops
This is a straight up lie. They held off to avoid blowing the lid on the US regime’s undeniably illegal actions.
If they had reported on government malfesance as is their sacred duty, they might have stopped a crime before it happened.
It sounds like you and your parents are in danger. If your brother has military training and has killed animals, he is a threat. It sounds like you know that is true.
For domestic violence at least, the most dangerous point of the cycle is after the escalation, after the explosive anger, once it seems like the situation has returned to normal - that’s when deadly violence is most likely. So stay aware and trust your gut.
Where i am, there are mental health groups that can provide things like a dedicated employment specialist to help find work.
Get in touch with someone who can give you real, expert advice.
Bono was briefly into these.
That’s right, U2 grew a shrew loo.
“Rules Based International Order” is just what the american empire calls itself in public. It’s sum total of the structures set up by and for US hegemony. Like how the Athenian Empire called itself the Delian League.
In a sense, there’s no purer expression of the rules based international order than illegally annexing territories for their oil.
Israel is an important and well-intergrated piece of the US empire so they get a say in how the empire is run. Working class new yorkers don’t matter in the same way.
To translate into the lies of empire: israel’s importance to foreign policy goals and deep cultural ties make it an interested commentator on domestic politics.
War has always been a racket, since long before the west was a thing.
Killing people so you can take their stuff dates back to at least our last common ancenstor with chimpanzees.
I love all the desperate apologetics over this passage. The lackeys of the rich always try to talk about how this means the rich need to unburden themselves before getting into heaven, like a laden camel passing through a narrow city gate.
But “camel through the eye of a needle” was a fairly common idiom at the time used to mean impossible - the equivilant of “when pigs fly”.
The intent of this passage is crystal clear: “the rich will never ever get into heaven”.
Wooo! IEC type I! Shoutout to the greatest!
You can’t argue a person out of an irrational view.
Explaining brain chemistry and how dopamine works won’t do it.
A belief like that is a way of signalling membership in an identity that the individual thinks benefits them. It’s unlikely to change until that identity stops looking beneficial.
Pfft, just hold on and squeeze your way through the scratches until you’re bloody and beloved.
Yeah i think that’s a likely scenario as well. Murder by suicide, basically.
The fascists don’t care about consistency or fairness. By definiton they’re opposed to that.
They will without a doubt block anyone else from doing exactly what they are doing.
Killing multiple regime members on the court or expanding the court are the only two options if we want a supreme court that’s capable of upholding the law.
