We generally only use it for extreme cases of murder. China uses it for a wide variety of crimes - although they have begun to limit it with plans to abolish it completely.
But completely agree with you about who we prosecute and shovel into prisons and execute.
3 Body Problem scenario?

Wow. What a picture.
Chinese justice has always been, gulp, draconian.
But it makes a certain point.
Part of the Trump 26/28 election strategy - targeted arrests and intimidation of election officials to:
1. Suppress legitimate oversight, allowing for easier manipulation, and
2. Boost the narrative that the system is corrupted and must be taken over
The only way we unfuck our country is through a puritanical anti-corruption drive. We need to rip out a vast substrate of corrupt elites and marginalize an even larger contingent of mere incompetents and cowards.
Ppl need to be terrified of the white-collar criminal laws of the United States again.

US intelligence assesses that Iran still retains 40% of its prewar stockpile of drones, and after conducting operations to dig up buried missile cities during the ceasefire, 60% of its missile launchers.-NYT
South Africa was banned from the Olympics from 1964 to 1988 because it was an apartheid state.
The ICJ declared Israel to be an apartheid state, so when does its ban start?
So very MAGA
Well, well, well.
“Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!”

I want to swap out my old Corolla for an EV next year, but I have zero interest in spending $50k for one, which is the only price US carmakers are interested in.
If one of them rolled out a $22k EV it be the best-selling vehicle within a year. So why won't they? Big Oil, the Shithead in power.
Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.
Trump is polishing a plan his minions developed the last time to subvert the elections, and it has multiple levels of fuckery. It wasn't quite ready then, but it's now in progress.
We may not see the full implementation in 2026, but for sure we will see it in 2028.
Yes, but Trump is polishing a plan his minions developed the last time and it has multiple levels of fuckery.
Interesting
This is a very important summary of the framework and timeline that Trump is using to take over the 2026/2028 elections.
PLEASE READ
I'm still waiting for a single American politician to step up to the plate.
I stopped going to protests when I realized not one, especially the Democrats, was willing to do what was needed. In fact, they are actively suppressing true reform.
Maybe Mamdani will. Or some unknown TBD. Or not.
Solar and wind.
No effing biofuels!
The old American boogeyman: "radicals" who oppose non-stop capitalist greed, the ruination of our planet, and warmongering.
Who would ever want the Democratic Party to be "overrun" by people like that?
Anyone who thinks Trump will voluntarily leave the Presidency also believes in the tooth fairy.
AIPAC is telling folks to thank senators like @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn for voting to continue sending arms to Israel as they kill people in Gaza, Lebanon etc day after day
“There must be no daylight between 🇺🇸 & Israel”🤔
Amazing — Candace caught Fox trying to make JD Vance & TP USA’s event look less empty with fake footage…
I love me some Pope and I am not catholic. Trump and Vance picked a fight with the Pope and he isn’t backing down. You go, Pope. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote.
Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.
Jared Golden was the one and only Democrat who voted to continue Donald Trump's war on Iran.
The vote was won by Trump by 214-213.
Won by just one vote, Jared's.
What a scumbag.
That Swalwell would feel confident enough to run for president and then governor of CA - while aggressively seeking out young women to assault - shows the deep, deep level of rot in US politics.
JFK in the 60s was bad enough. Swalwell in the Me-Too era? It's bad. Very bad.
Part of the rot in America is because our representatives in Congress are not voting for American interests, they are voting for Israeli interests. And they are paid to do so.
