No actually we don't need anymore cops 😆
Notably, this is exactly how the government in a capitalist country like the US operates overseas. Funding foreign militias to pressure regime change for US capitalist benefit. I mean just this week, Trump approved a CIA operation in Venezuela because he wants to get "half of their oil" (his words).
And this is not because of individuals good or evil nature. It is the system. In a capitalist system, governments depend upon capitalists to run the economy, and so must appease them. The courts set up, must work in capitalists favor, or else they will revolt, and hire militias as they do elsewhere.
In countries where capitalists are allowed to run the economy, they eventually become synonymous with the government. Like Biden appointing capitalist bankers to work in his cabinet, or Trump appointing Musk. It's a power struggle, and unless you outlaw capitalists, they will win.
You live in a country in which the entire economy is owned and controlled by capitalists, who run their organizations as dictatorships. Overcome the capitalist dictators, and you not only solve citizens united but 100 other symptoms of that issue
The problem is capitalism, corporate power. If there are people who hold immense amounts of wealth and power, they will wield it in any myriad of ways to their own benefit. That is the root of the issue
Yes but I'm not one for false hope, which is what this thread seems to be about
Not true for laws about incorporation which is what this entire thread is about. You're talking about something else entirely
Because they can incorporate in whatever state they want. Most go to Delaware, which has extremely favorable courts
OK good luck getting Delaware to pass this, which is where most corporations are incorporated
We should push bluesky to ban them for violating community guidelines on harassment, bullying, hate speech, and discrimination, which includes targeting individuals based on protected characteristics, such as skin color. Which the DHS is doing exactly that, kidnapping people based off skin color.

Mountain View encampment residents confronted a progressive council member's staffer on why he ordered a sweep that drew heavy police presence, why there wasn't shelter.

Another told @thelareporter.bsky.social the sweep felt like a burglary. She said it was "heartbreaking, for no reason."
If you actually listen to interviews of imprisoned firefighters, they were saying things like "I'm not doing this for the money, I'm doing it for another chance."

What they are calling for is another chance, i.e. FREEDOM!
They should be freed for their service, not paid more. FREE THEM!

This is the trap of reform which ultimately only further entrenches prison slave labor
The success of movements depends on their ability to do illegal things that are in line with their goals
Please stop giving advice that's going to get people attacked by the cops. If you're calling 911 at a protest in hope the cops show up, you're on the side of the fascists
Call 911? You realize it's often the local cops that attack the crowds right? I mean, this whole political moment is about how policing is incredibly violent and authoritarian. And you're still equating that with safety?
When enough people do a thing it ceases to be illegal, impossible to enforce, normalizing illegal things is good actually
Yes, the actual name for the Aztecs is the Mexica . Who are distinct from the Mayans.
Looks like he's been following the city controller's account, lol
I don't think Oklahoma is a necessary part of any coalition that Trump needs to stay in power
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds!

Newsom's very first guest was Charlie Kirk. Yes, that Charlie Kirk.

They discussed trans people. By the end, Newsom said he "agreed with Kirk" on all trans issues.
