doesn't matter how USA feels about ICC, to ICC. See Vlad and Bibi I think the best part about ICC indictment in those cases is... an ICC member nation is required to arrest them if they go there. Why Vlad and Bibi rarely leave home nation. Trump would screw that up, too arrogant and ignorant.
So when does The Hague do something?
Hard to express to those not in the weeds just how much the current state of the immigration detention system is just utter chaos.
"Wie hätte die heutige demokratische Führung des Repräsentantenhauses abgestimmt, wenn sie 1963 mit einer Resolution zu Ehren des Gouverneurs von Alabama, George Wallace, der für seine „Segregation jetzt, Segregation morgen, Segregation für immer“ berüchtigt war, in Verlegenheit gebracht 1/3
Their lives are already completely open for them, thats why they have time to wander around with Rapture signs instead of working.
Moving to Montana and spend their time on the streets of a city of barely 5,000 people holding Rapture signs after most of the Glacier National Park tourists have already gone home seems like not a great way to proselytize.

Think about it. Out of 19 study aprticipents... 4 were non-binary and 1 was trans masc... thats just those willing to discuss it... and doesn't mention sexualities either. When I talk about how many in the (far-right/white nationalist) movement are closeted. there is a reason for that.
am pleased here to recommend a starter pack of trusted formers
Funny how evidence from all types of former extremists suggests that "formers" with appropriate resources are the key to creating more "formers." Yet the academics and "experts" all want to circle jerk and pretend they are the only ones with answers. theconversation.com/can-violent-...
Dr. Danny Carroll @drdwcii.bsky.social is my practicum supervisor and was head of CEPI x HEIR @handsofeir.bsky.social until he stepped down to give me practicum leadership experience... until I force him back into leadership after it is over.

Dr. Danny Carroll's @drdwcii.bsky.social new book is out now, btw! Social Work and the Psychosocial Journey Out of Far-Right Extremism www.routledge.com/Social-Work-...
If you are a social worker or anyone interested in understanding the psychosocial factors involved with those who exit from far-right extremist groups, I highly recommend this book. Of course, as a former extremist turned social worker who works with others getting out, I may be biased.
And that is about all I am sharing. It's a good study and book.
I'm not going to share the Theoretical Model of the Psychosocial Journey Out of Far-Right Extremism... but it is useful.
Christian Picciolini @cpicciolini.bsky.social also received a shout-out... There is a lot to criticize about traditional CVE/PVE. The field has been mismanaged by people who primarily want to punish and "other", rather than help change minds and lives.

Every autistic person that I’ve ever met has been immeasurably better than any of these chucklefucks. Autistic (& ND) folk are valid as fuck and not a scourge or crisis to be prevented.
I thought this was obvious at the time? When I was living through it? When Netanyahu was lying about supposed Biden withholdings of weapons & aid? Whereas in reality Biden kept the tap full going except temporarily one shipment of heavy bombs. BUT HERE WE FUCKING ARE.
🛑To all the compassionate hearts , my baby girl's body is inflamed because I cannot buy diapers for her and her health is getting worse. I beg you. My foot was injured by a quadcopter and I lost my husband, my home and everything. I do not want to lose my baby girl.🙏😭 gofund.me/bec64b33
state legislatures, esp with GOP supermajorities, regularly usurp local control from Black cities in Southern states. In Jackson, they created a whole separate, unelected court! Poor Black people in the South are subjected to dirtier land, air, and water. Denied hookups to municipal sewer services.
Do people not understand the constant state of emergency women, esp Black women, in the South are facing? Access to quality reproductive health care is even worse now, punishing those who were already desperate. Which has a domino effect on children. Which keeps women tied to abusers. And on and on.
This is #TheDoubleTax. Might I also add that Black women in the South are likely experiencing the brunt of Black women "leaving" the labor force because they are significantly overrepresented in the federal workforce.
After criticising Tories and Labour for aping Farage, Ed Davey says, "We have a moral responsibility to aim high"

Awesome I love it when libs do solidarity like "how much Tylenol did Trump's mom take haha get it Trump is autistic which is bad like how he's fat and gay and has incontinence and when fat gay incontinent autistics say "idk if this is ideal praxis and rhetoric" I will tell them to enjoy the camps"
I mean. He literally threatened to nuke North Korea during one of his speeches at UN in Trump term I. I had low expectations.
#NukeSky, genuine question, thoughts? Is there any actual utility or benefit in extension for a year under current or near future conditions?
Newly released data shows Customs and Border Protection funneled the DNA of nearly 2,000 US citizens—some as young as 14—into an FBI crime database, raising alarms about oversight and legality. www.wired.com/story/dhs-ha...
Haha fuck yeah fucking yes I’ve been raptured this is so great Twitter is like it was 2017-2022 up here i.e extremely angry and horrible but your posts actually get seen and Elon Musk doesn’t show up in your feed every half an hour.
Well done Italy
Trust this DOJ, they've earned it. Says only them, and EVERYONE involved in trying to get the general public to OBEY as they rights trample and pretend the badge is trust and not oppression. Surely every member in our over policed under represented sides of America understands this Cops fkn don't
One might think the only Jewish head of state in North America - and also the most popular Jewish head of state in the world - recognizing a Palestinian embassador and calling on Israel to end its genocide might you know, be news
I can’t imagine the terror. If you can help, please donate or share to save these families. It could be any of us… had we been born in Gaza.
Anyway… I don’t recommend doing any of this… 🤣 Share your computer game replacements in class (or your “friends”).
I’ve raised US$440/2000 for Maha to be able to evacuate herself & family from Gaza city to the South. So the goal is $US1560. She really needs to leave asap… the bombing is relentless and it’s do dangerous. Can anyone help with a donation, or at least a share?
I still can't quite believe that the very first attacks from Labour on Farage's bonkers idea to kick millions of people with INDEFINITE right to remain out of the UK were to argue that it's infeasible and wouldn't save anything like the amount he claimed. How about: - It's WRONG - It's IMMORAL ?
Please help Mahmoud's efforts to have him and his family live good and safe lives once more.

“When it comes to AI adoption, many companies aren’t guided by strategy but by ‘Fomo’,” said Haritha Khandabattu, senior director analyst at consultancy Gartner. “For some leaders, the question isn’t ‘What problem am I solving?’ but ‘What if my competitor solves it first?’”

the reason you don't engage in a data-driven argument with fascists is that it legitimises the idea that if the data went the other way their core argument would be acceptable it is not and should be rejected wholesale from first principles
I saw it in terms of "professionalisation" - the instinct in late capitalism to strip away everything that is not part of a particular government role, job, or corporate product, and do ONLY that pure iteration, when it's often the peripheral, unwritten functions which keep everything working. 2/n
FFS I want to point out that the word is "thinky". Not "think parts" although that is fine but "thinky parts" and autocorrect is even more aggressive than it used to be and I hate that.
Bluesky is fucking dangerous. I am DEEP in a novel and on a deadline and you fuckers just sparked not one but two TOTALLY NEW AND IRRELEVANT book ideas and now my think parts are chasing after them like whippets after phase squirrels.
this is what makes my heart hurt when I look at the world: the idea that we can know what the "necessary" things are and do only those.
Lovely idea
Selfish pratyekabuddhas.
She's gonna burst into flames one of these days.
Q: Is the president going back on his promise from his inaugural speech to not persecute political opponents? LEAVITT: No. It is not weaponizing the DOJ to demand accountability for those who weaponized the DOJ
that she hasn't been struck by a lightning bolt only reinforces my atheism
Fixed it for the NYT:
“For me, it’s not just about a book — it’s an attempt to make our voice and our suffering heard. If we succeed in publishing the book, it might give me a chance to survive and leave Gaza. And if not, then at least, if they kill me, I will remain.” #BookSky 🧪 news.chanda.science/archive/gaza...
NEW WRITING: I talk about a new memoir that’s set to debut next week from Gazan physics student Wasim Said, aspiring astrophysicist, who has created a forceful record of the genocide. I also share parts of my conversations with Said. The book is a must read. #BookSky 🧪⚛️🔭
Douthat moderated a panel I was on w/Walter Kirn and sat there like a log while Kirn literally pulled out his phone on stage & read Taibbi Twitter Files tweets accusing me of censoring *22M tweets*. He lost control of the panel in the first 5min and apparently is still not interested in the facts.😂
So I get a pan or nah ???
My problem with everything is that I know For A Fact that the purpose of life is frivolity. It is to fool around & pursue joy.

Put GPS trackers on their vehicles. Find their personal vehicles and track them too. Make it impossible for them to operate in your town. Take the valve stems off of the tires of their personal vehicles. Weld caltrops and constantly strew them on entire blocks’ worth of streets they drive down.
Your towns should be “sundown towns” but for ICE agents. ICE agents should be stalked. Their locations constantly updated. They have to sleep somewhere. They have to eat somewhere. Find those places. And shut them down. Do not allow them a moment’s peace. Bring this to *their* communities.
Make it impossible to stay in business and serve ICE. Spray paint “ICE LOVER” on the doors of establishments that sell to these scumbags. Spray paint “COLLABORATOR” on the doors of churches who welcome these sick fucks attacking our communities. Find their houses. Knock over their ladders.
Honestly not sure why armed militias haven’t sprung up to protect their communities from ICE. Set up checkpoints. Punish community members who house ICE, including hotel & motel management. Punish community members who sell ICE food or drink. Punish community members who sell ICE gasoline.
I know this is redundant, given that they're ICE agents in the first place, but any man who would knock down another man's ladder while he's up on a roof is a real sack of shit.
In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.
And for God’s sake make your communities stop selling city water and city sewage services to the federal government in its entirety. Not just ICE. The whole thing. Void every single federal government contract. Let them take you to court for it. But never, ever budge.
So then who did the "abridging," Craig? 🤔
Ah yes the treaty that Russia has suspended participation in. It doesn’t matter, honestly, if New START is extended for a year or not at this point. verification & sharing mechanisms are dormant & numerical limits can be maintained by choice as now. No agreement in pipeline. What a mess.
What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

To deflect attention from his bribery scandal Tom Homan starts a new charity, Fifty Thousand Points of Light.
This is ongoing serial murder & USA military is carrying out *illegal orders* to serially murder people in international waters. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-... If I have accumulated any merit in this wandering life then may it go to making this stop & bring perpetrators to justice.
It’s murder not execution. Execution follows a legal process which in the USA is a trial etc etc. (state execution is also murder and for the moment we’re pretending there’s a difference).
