Trump knew this all along. He is a traitor. He has corrupted the USA’s Constitutional foundations and all respect for democratic governance and decency.

There is an anarchic force let loose on all forms of democratic governance. The evidence from this precedent for the rapid collapse of the American model, is before us. All “sovereign states” should look and learn from these challenges to the rule of law. The fish rots from the head.

I support his courage to tell the truth about this appalling man’s unlawful and unethical misuse of his power as president.

Sadly, our friend and hero Major Jason Watson was officially referred to court-martial. He stood by his oath to defend the Constitution. Now it’s our turn to stand by him. We must continue to say his name Demand justice. Speak out. Sign these two resistbot petitions written by #GTS

ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel — that's millions, billions. It all goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us.

The US president IS for rent. Boy oh boy, this Emperor has no clothes.

Putin throws lifeline to try to save Trump in the midterms. In return, American dollars go to Russia and get put toward killing innocent Ukrainians. Trump/Russia right out in the open. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

"Many people prefer to believe the brutes and the sadists are responsible, largely because they are not like 'us,'" writes @omerbartov.bsky.social. "But modern genocide is the product of the technocrats, bureaucrats and cold planners of extermination, who don’t get their hands dirty."

theguardian.comHow do human beings explain taking part in genocide? NAZA provides a chilling look | Omer BartovIt’s easier to blame brutes and sadists for extreme violence. But as we see in the documentary, modern genocides are fueled by people who are uncomfortably recognizable

So, stop the Destroyer !

Trump now says his $5,000 "Trump Dividend" would go to every U.S. citizen if Republicans win the midterms. With 316 million citizens, that is $1.58 trillion. That’s probably the largest bribe Trump has ever made in his life. “No one does bribes like I do.”

This is a really interesting story about a great writer and his complex sense of justice, mercy and equity - I must commend the NYT for the essay and what it has revealed about my passionate concern for children’s human rights and their fullest recognition and inclusion.

I agree You want propaganda? So did Hitler’s willing helpers, and just look what happened

I’d highly recommend that nobody download this app. At best, it’s unfiltered propaganda. At worst, it’s spyware.

On Friday’s episode of The Five 8, I outlined how the US is already a fascist state.The midterm elections comprise a referendum on how entrenched the condition is; the results of those elections will determine the course of the resistance going forward—and the future of American democracy.

gregolear.substack.comFar Right of BoomThe “boom” happened a while ago: American fascism is already here. But what if we don’t win the House and the Senate? The future of our democracy hinges on what happens in November. Are we ready?

Fascism writ large: obfuscating administrative obligations contrary to the rule of Law and the Constitution

Once again, and despite court orders & the federal law, Todd Blanche is trying to delay production in the Epstein Files; specifically, he doesn’t want to have to review & produce the foreign-language documents. My latest filing exposes Blanche for his legal hackery. youtu.be/72FTfVLdUS8?...

The 60 largest planned data centers could produce the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as 27 coal plants. Big Tech CEOs are polluting our planet and selling out our future to line their own pockets. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Anne Frank wasn’t beat or shot to death. She died of typhus due to unhygienic conditions in her concentration camp. ICE isn’t just killing the people it shoots. A detention center is just a death camp by a different name. And they’re quietly murdering everyday. Post Here: interactink.vercel.app
