Democrats praising Dick Cheney, a man who spent the final years of his political career trying to pardon someone he ordered to out a spy for hilariously corrupt political reasons, as a patriot should throw ice water on any idea that Democrats will have any interest prosecuting trump admin officials

ICE is STILL stuck inside the parking garage in lower Manhattan, and they seem pretty grumpy about it.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

600 ICE agents were supposed to be deployed to Canal Street. Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered instead.

Quick summary by me:

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.

New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

our media is so obsessed with the five famous assholes who unapologetically fucked up instead of all the people who didn't

what about everyone who doesn't "need" a second chance because they didn't expose themselves or assault anyone or move a former student into their house right after graduation?

"I'm canceled," he says in the sleek profile they gave to him in the New Yorker while his latest special & his new novel is coming out. A lot of people wish they were that canceled.
Louis CK is not in a limbo of cancellation. He's straight up not cancelled & his "cancellation" became a profitable bit for him.

I beg Americans to realize that this isn't new. The extrajudicial murders the US military was doing were fine with them until January 2025. Ever heard on an anchor shot before?
How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Education, social housing, land back, health system overhaul, and a Canadian People's Army. There's no scenario that involves the CAF winning a stand up fight with the Americans, so turn it into a semi-irregular insurgency trained militia with a small deployable contingent of battalion strength.

Have you even read the budget? It's absolutely not a deterrent to the US. Buying their gear, selling them our natural resources, and increasing our intelligence cooperation with them is making. the. problem. worse.

This is a budget for a military bent on coalition warfare abroad not defense.

And if anything, the lawlessness of this administration *underlines* this fact.

The law has always been applied selectively and unequally, by design.

This regime didn't invent that reality.

They exploit it.
The law is not now, nor has it ever been, a moral instrument.

Any kind of realistic response to a US invasion is gonna be done by random citizens in an occupied Canada. Are Carney's $70 billion in military spending planning for THAT? No? Then it's fucking nothing but a wealth transfer.
I won't take "we need to defend ourselves from the US" military spenders seriously until they roll out molotov cocktail training for citizens.

More serious people realize that any dream of Canada militarily resisting the United States Army is complete folly and our best defense is a strong domestic economy that is fueled by high-quality education.

There is no percentage of our GDP we could spend that would do more than buy us a handful of extra hours to days before obliteration by American arms. It's a fantasy by people with header pics like yours. This isn't 1812, mate.

Lolololololololol. These fuckers are incredible and I love that everyone gets to see what the old lefty hands already knew - the entirely of the electoral left is like 15 people with their hands in each others pockets desperately trying to be the biggest fish in a tiny pond.
The secretary of the Socialist Workers Party says he knows Corbyn well & they met up last week. They chatted on the train to conference

He got off the train & found out he'd been expelled from Your Party *by JC's allies*

I cannot even begin to express my rage at this lie

reading this through me back into my pandemic EMT life, attempting to resuscitate a child experiencing a cardiac arrest secondary to COVID while a father says “we heard that the vaccine was riskier than COVID for kids” and a mother wails in agony
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.

“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”
