Stella Carlson - known as "Pink Jacket Lady" - is a hero!

Anderson Cooper is gentle as she recounts how her phone & whistle don't feel like enough.

And yet, with them, she created irrefutable evidence of Alex Pretti's murder. And now gives a sincere & articulate call for justice.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Outside The American embassy in Copenhagen. 1 flag for each Danish soldier who died along side American soldiers in Afghanistan.
Flags have been removed by the embassy, on danish soil, danish property.
Disgusting and shameful.

When Russians in Abu Dhabi were saying something about territories, Budanov (head of UA intelligence) would turn to the speaker:

- Excuse me, could you remind me of your surname? And he would jot something down in his little notebook.

After that, Russians no longer spoke about the territories

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Chasiv Yar today.

A city in the Donetsk region that was alive long ago is now reduced to total ruins. Where there were streets-debris. Where there were homes-ash and smoke.

This is the trace left behind by the Russian army.

"Liberation" that leaves nothing behind.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:

The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

America update: hours after federal agents executed a Veterans Affairs nurse on camera, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon watched a film about the president's wife at the White House.
On tonight’s White House agenda:

Attendees include Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, Mike Tyson, per the article.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

🧵“How do seemingly ordinary people become agents of state murder?” This is one of the guiding questions I ask students in my graduate class on genocide/state violence. With recent events, it is a question many Americans are asking.

Kelman & Hamilton argue that atrocities are often produced by normal administrative processes. Authority legitimizes violence, routines make it ordinary, and responsibility is diffused across a chain of command. People comply because the system defines the act as appropriate, dissent as disloyal. 7/

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
