This is important. The first 24 hours of press coverage fumbled the ball. But the US just murdered 11 people in international waters. Analogies to the US’s (highly suspect, morally and legally) targeted killings of suspect terrorists don’t work. This crossed their own lines, and they know it.
If we survive this fascist treason, we’re going to need serious Nuremberg-like trials. No half-assed Merrick Garland shit. Prominent people need to be clapped in irons.
CORE CIVIC
Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, the company is one of the largest private prison companies in the United States. CoreCivic owns or manages more than more than eighty state and federal correctional and detention facilities.
When world leaders convene in New York this month for the United Nations General Assembly, several are expected to recognize a Palestinian state. Yet Palestinian leaders may not be there to revel in the moment after the U.S. blocked their visas.
The fact that the Epstein survivors had to give a press conference outside – and not in the halls of congress, shows you exactly who is guilty AF and the power they are wielding to try and silence the victims.
Core Civic is a corporate prison firm helping to build the growing prison industry in the United States...
So Hegseth’s missiles were fired at a boat: ✅ they had no idea where it was going ✅ they had no idea who was on it ✅ they had no established authority to act ✅ but definitely wanted to murder whoever was on it Everyone involved should rot in prison forever

Hire a Black woman. We tend to be very good at what we do because we simply are not allowed to be bad at it.
Thanks! Same to you!
Yes, that was the perfect representation of who he is.
Time to fight back against the men trying to control women's bodies.
I entered 3 stories on Deadline Day 😌. Thank you for the heads up again.
Not too worried about Vance. He's proven that he can't command a donut shop, much less a mega hate cult. Remove the cancer, maga dies.
Lol I saw that on Meidas but the mad clown posted a reaction to the immigration ruling on True Sociopath a day ago. It would be glorious if true though.
Some folks are excited about Trump MIA for 48 hours. The Trump death watch isn't going to remove him from office. He has access to the best doctors in the world. A little puffiness and a dead brain aren't ending him. Keep fighting.
This! This is how it’s done. There are MORE OF US! youtube.com/shorts/99A29...
Whether it's Barack Obama asking for dijon mustard or RFK Jr. asking for a vaccine ban that will kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, there have been unusual requests on both sides of the aisle.

My understanding for several years has been that Covid kills off T-cells, making us vulnerable to infections. HIV in slomo. Why are they saying this now when scientists have been on the case for so long? www.annachen.co.uk/covid-pandem...

I live in Georgia but I don't consider myself much of a poet. :-) For $3,000, though, I'd be willing to fake it, lol. Maybe I can channel my inner Alan Ginsberg, southern style!
Thanks for all these. I haven't been on BlueSky for a few days

Well said.
This was when Trump needed to call in the National Guard.

Good news. 👇
The number of extreme weather disasters has jumped fivefold worldwide over the past 50 years, and the number of deaths has nearly tripled, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
George Retes, an American citizen disabled US Army veteran who has been held in federal custody since Thursday, was released without charges this evening. 1/
Please share to everone you know. He doesn’t want us talking about the Epstein case.
Sounds like a fun one. I already have a weird west story written but it's too long, probably can't shorten it. Maybe I can create another, though! Thanks!

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.
Domestic terrorists attack an American family, endangering children inside, as well as the parents.

The United States is a nation beyond the rule of law. People are being kidnapped on the streets by men in masks. They are being disappeared and deported to foreign concentration camps. A Canadian died in their hands. We must demand full access and independent investigation of his mistreatment.
Mitch McConnell-Republicans should pass Trump's Big Ugly Bill; people will "get over" losing Medicaid Joni Ernst-We can destroy Medicaid to give billionaires a tax break because "we're all going to die" Disabled folks at the Capitol-HELL NO we won’t give up our Medicaid Medicaid Saves Our Lives

Did Roosevelt send a strongly worded letter to the Germans when they attacked Pearl Harbor? No he did not! ~ John Belushi (maybe)
This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.
I’m not saying we have the votes to impeach. I’m saying that you DO NOT do this without Congressional approval and if Johnson doesn’t grow a spine and learn to be a real boy tomorrow we have a BFing problem that puts our very Republic at risk.
“Susie, will they forget about Iran in two weeks?” “I don't know, you dumb ass, but I'm sure *you* will.”
So, a Fox personality calls for ICE to go to Dodger Stadium and then it happens a couple of days later. Our leaders now just getting their marching orders from right wing media.
Iran: Can someone please hurry up and distract the toddler????
That article was the inspiration for my original post. I can't attest to its technical accuracy even though I have a ton of software experience. But we can't dismiss it as a BlueAnon conspiracy theory, either.
Android phones use the Google Maps API for their default map app. So they must be using a different API for the coverage map, probably provided by whatever cell provider they're using. "Gulf of America" would be confusing to users, because most people aren't aware of that silliness.
I'm aware of it, thanks.
In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
Step 1: Wear down the country by making false claims about a stolen election for four+ years. Step 2: Steal an election. Any questions?
