So Letitia James is a “criminal” but George Santos is just a “rebel” who was mistreated?

"The experience of watching 2,000 upstanding citizens, most of them elderly & many of them infirm, hustled through this slaughterhouse queue of mass justice & into prison, with little opportunity to defend themselves, will be a defining moment in the UK headlong slide into fascism"

3/ If you’re reading this and struggling too — I see you. I’m still here because I believe we’re not broken; we’re just debugging life in real time. One thing done, one meal, one day at a time. We’re still running, even when the light flickers.💙

2/ I’m the guy who builds things from nothing. Who learns the system, tears it apart, and makes it work again. Even when I’m running on fumes. Even when it’s just me and a half-broken cable, figuring out where the signal got lost — in the wire or in myself.

1/ I’m not gonna lie; some days it’s hard to keep fighting. Begging for food, scraping for bills, trying to hold on to the version of myself that once had control. But even in that chaos, there’s this part of me that refuses to stop. Because I know what I’ve survived already.

This is what happens when you let xtianism run wild as fact. Xtians will use ANYTHING go get their lies and propaganda out. They will use anyone's death to propagate their standing. Xtianism is the real danger.

For anyone feeling helpless with all that is happening, please remember: Every authoritarian regime that rose to power by silencing dissent, banning truth, controlling the population through fear and violence has either collapsed, been overthrown or imploded under its own corruption or paranoia.

I'm all for playing the live servers, however, I am always on Eden. It's by far replaced live in my opinion. I love that this game is still with us. It was my first MMORPG.

They told us to love freedom while stripping it away. We wanted liberty, not fear. Democracy survives only if we show up — in voice, in vote, in defiance. We very likely won't do this peacefully. So prepare.
