Somewhere in the Death Star (the O.G. Death Star, from '77) there was at least one Imperial who saw Luke coming down that fucking alleyway and even though it meant their end too they just said, "Yeah, just do it. End this."
That's the next Andor. Some accountant on the Death Star.
Moron starts fight.
Moron regrets fight.
Moron purposely maims opponent before calling it because he blames his victims for being victimized and he was already in the middle of a shitload of war crimes anyway.
I bet it ends with "please clap".
Who wants to come here now? We're bullying the world and our own people at the same time. What's Russia's tourism been for the least few years? That's about what we should expect.
No one wants to visit their violent neighbor's house.
I find it so odd that this administration is so obsessed with optics and theatrics when it's become increasingly clear that the optics just make them look like incompetent dumbass assholes.
OK. What are we doing, Chris? I'll show up. Give me a direction to go in.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
We live in Dogpatch now.
@gallup.com You absolute fucking cowards. Piss on you.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Won't be soon enough.
Israel denies Gazan child access to cancer care despite Israeli hospital's willingness to treat him The court decision noted that the child's doctors in Ramallah had been in contact with Tel Hashomer Hospital, whose practitioners expressed willingness to treat the child.
But it's not apartheid amirite?

"Public frustration with the limitations of our offices will continue to invite provocateurs and opportunists," Wilson wrote, in part. "They'll insist that local police can impede or arrest federal officers at will, or that wielding civil land use laws and implementing fines can effectively remove ICE from our communities. "There is something quintessentially American about these demands," he added. "Like my fellow mayors, I, too, have wished that we could find a loophole or dust off a forgotten law. Portland's attorneys have certainly looked. That said, we don't need to pull a legal rabbit out of a hat to win. We only need to stay the course."
Portland, OR mayor Keith Wilson responding to public demands that ICE's land use permit be rescinded after they gassed thousands of peaceful men women and children.
Kinda curious what "the course" we should stay is here, Keith? Watching ICE gas, abduct and sometimes shoot our neighbors?
Second.
Sen. Van Hollen was on this morning talking "permanent change!!!11!" and when they asked him for specifics he came up with body cams and paperwork. These people will not save us.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Jacob Frey: “We have seen consistent unconstitutional practice by ICE discriminating only on the basis of - are you Latino, are you Somali - & then indiscriminate pickups thereafter — ppl are walking around on the street with their passports. That's not American. That's the furthest thing from it”
There's a lot of bad things happening now. We're inundated with them.
This here is a bad thing that particularly worries me. This isn't just some rogue maggat. This is a direct effort to negate the just power of the court, all courts.

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.
That was fast

If Maduro is in custody my expectation is the admin will try to hold Dumb Nuremberg. They'll make it a judicial referendum on fentanyl and try to blame Maduro for the deaths from the opiate crisis.
He's taking Venezuela to turn it into his retirement country.
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”
This message hits hard.
Whiteness is a trick made to get people to believe their supposed racial superiority and that they can one day become an elite and therefore think interests are aligned more with the elite then with working people of all identities with whom they actually share much more in common.
