Someone I knew, who used to be a paratrooper told me "if you don't want people to die, don't send troops". Not sure why that came to mind today?

Look, I'm a well-off middle-age cis white guy with four law degrees, three in commercial law fields. At this point, even I can see that key institutions have failed at the moment they were most needed because we have permitted the development of a largely unregulated and untaxed oligarch class.

Hélder Câmara describes 3 types of violence: 1. Institutional aka structural injustice (as described below) 2. Revolutionary (against the oppressor) 3. Repressive (against the revolutionaries). Those in power will claim that only n°2 is violence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A9...

What radicalized me against the police are the 2020 George Floyd protests in Brooklyn. Peaceful marches descended into violence as the NYPD rioted. They pepper sprayed elected officials and beat protesters with batons. The press blamed us for it. I've never trusted the media on protests since.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple European citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

yup, the argument of "let the law be enforced" has sailed a long time ago with so-called law enforcement agencies illegally kidnapping people and acting in contempt of court.

Deploying military force, in this case the use of a military helicopter and military supplies, against U.S. citizens protesting ICE detentions violates the Posse Comitatus Act and the First Amendment. This is not law enforcement, it’s a breach of constitutional rights.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

I sincerely hope Elon musk’s downfall is painful and humiliating I hope he loses everything and faces treason charges Not because I hate him (I do) But because I believe it’s historically important to demonstrate that unfettered psychopathic abuse of power actually does have consequences

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.

I hope you all understand that in conjunction with US support of the genocide in Palestine, all signs point toward the current activities of ICE being the beginning of ethnic cleansing in the US.

ANYONE who thinks ANY group should accept fewer human rights than everyone else is totally unfit to serve as an EHRC commissioner.

How can an Equality and Human Rights Commissioner say with a straight face trans people have to accept reduced rights, whether perceived or actual?

I am, once again, very fucking sweary today. And no I'm not fucking apologising. I'm having my twating rights stripped away by a bunch of transphobic shitty thundercunts at the crappy fucking EHRC. Fuck them! Fuck them all!

In finally admitting that they're trying to take away our rights, they're also admitting that we have exercised these rights for years -decades- and there hasn't ever, ever been an issue with it

Why would it be the “wrong signal”, @aussenminister.diplo.de? Because it would give starving and maimed children hope? Because it would acknowledge an ethnic group as a people? Never in my lifetime did I expect I’d see Germany backing a govt committing persecution, war crimes and ethnic cleansing.

Among my favorite parts of the Trump/Elon feud is that anything and everything negative that they say about the other person will also reflect poorly on them. Delicious.
