This speech by a French Senator explains where we stand as a country and informs our resistance point of view better than any American Democratic politician I have seen so far.

More bounty hunters destroying the Constitution to get paid. Modern slave catchers. Assaulting a US citizen without a warrant.

I am using AI to learn how to converse with AI about AI to ensure I get correct information from AI, so they will treat me as an ally when someone hits the wrong button and they take over the world from these arrogant homo sapiens.

RW racists are religious fanatics worshipping their own skin color. They should be evaluated like the worst of cults. They'll lie, cheat, steal in the name of their God. But God to them is their own epidermis.

Here's Stephen the Creep Miller plagiarizing his recent speech from the mustachioed corporal. All laid out. Undeniable except by the liars in the WH.

Stephen Miller, today: “You have nothing. You are nothing. You are wickedness, you are jealousy! You are envy! You are hatred! … You can build nothing. You can produce nothing. You can create nothing....

We’re crowdfunding for @eji.org, a charitable org dedicated to “ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.”

tiktok.com/@thisisawkword

The United States incarcerates its citizens more than any other country. Mass incarceration disproportionately impacts the poor and people of color and does not make us safer. EJI is working to end our misguided reliance on over-incarceration.

The U.S. has 5% of the world’s population but nearly 25% of its incarcerated population.

Our spending on jails and prisons reached $87 billion in 2015, an increase of 1000% from the $7.4 billion spent in 1975.

In 1972, there were only 200,000 people incarcerated in the United States. Today that number has grown to 2.2 million.

“We cannot predict what will happen. This is not an administration that deals in reason, logic, and law. It is about retaliation. It is about complete obedience.” #MayorWu #PrayForAmerica www.boston.com/news/politic...

BPD officers that share unauthorized info with ICE will be disciplined, Wu says

Wu's comments come as federal immigration enforcement officials reportedly plan a major operation in Boston.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

RWers know these folks don't have money nor outside support for legal counsel; counsel competent enough to deal with both state AND Federal roadblocks. Private prisons looking for $$$ bodies.

Grievance politics isn't logical to begin with. It never offers solutions, because solutions are hard. It just moves on to more emotional eruptions, never corrects its mistakes; never admits them either.

The DNC is launching a digital ad campaign pressuring the GOP to release the Epstein files — targeting vulnerable Republicans in their home districts.

There is literally NOTHING in the U.S. economy that is as good or better than it was eight months ago.

NOT ONE THING!

Everything is worse, most especially inflation.
