Just a reminder, Duterte is currently imprisoned in The Hague for crimes against humanity, including the murder of street children

They want to kill people. Trump's lawyers argued he could kill his political opponents without criminal prosecution. He praised Duterte's mass murder of "drug dealers." He's ordering extrajudicial killings of fishermen at sea.

The administration is reframing migrants and gang members as “terrorists”, so DHS wannabe operators can do GWOT-style night raids here in the U.S. of A.

All GSDs are born too gentle to be police dogs. They have to be trained to that work. Sadly, too many are trained using punishment and corrections. Am pleased there is a small percentage of depth using force free training. 👍

Screenshot from Global Tipping Points.

Harmful tipping points in the natural world threaten humanity by disrupting life support systems and societal stability. The effects of tipping points will be transmitted and amplified throughout our globalised world. To mitigate these risks, we should focus on positive tipping points—opportunities where beneficial changes become self-sustaining. History shows rapid societal shifts are possible.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

People think I'm being hyperbolic when I say "Yeah the GOP is just pro-slavery at this point."

If their actual farm labor policy wasn't enough, there's always this.

Screenshot from the Politico article on a leaked Young Republicans group chat.

"They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery."

Screenshot. "In another conversation in February, Giunta talks approvingly about the Orange County Teenager Republican organization in New York- which appears to be part of the network of national Teen Age Republicans- and how he was pleased with its young members' ideological bent.

"They support slavery and all that shit. Mega based."

Something to take away from this is that ppl dont have to interfere with ICE actions. Ppl literally just have to show up in crowds 3 to 4x their numbers & record. The sheer size of the crowd & the knowledge they dont have the man or firepower to overtake the crowd is enuf. Psychology is a weapon.

You shouldn’t use words like “Liberals” “The left” “progressives” unless you’re willing to specify exactly who you are talking about. Because Dem voters + DSA + Nonprofit advocates + op-ed writers + internet commenters is an amorphous blob and grouping them together to make a point is ridiculous.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Youre just a poser acting like a public servant. You are in it for yourself and willing to do the bidding of murderers, rapists, theives, and liars. Iowa would be better off if you fell into a silo.

USCBP was already corrupt af when Clinton's wall went up. I think rolling it into something else wouldve come anyway w or w/o 9/11. Bolton was already looking to move things around, and defense contractors wanted a piece. Check out the Gilmore Commission & Gorelick's interference in 9/11 Commish

ACLU and immigration groups both tell you what to do. Record and getting victim info, recording agent actions, gettting plate & badge numbers if available is what ppl around should be doing. Interfering with an enforcement operation, regardless of how unjust, is not.
