Russian Tass state media has just published the following on its Telegram channel: "The parliament of Iran has approved a strategic partnership agreement with Russia. This was reported by the Embassy of the Islamic Republic in Russia." Very curious timing.

Absolutely horrifying. A politically motivated assassination of Democratic lawmakers. The regime calling protesters in LA “animals,” sending troops to “liberate” the city from Democratic governance. A military parade in the nation’s capital. All these events are intimately connected.

Rand Paul: "I've never liked the idea of the parade. I grew up in the '70s and '80s, and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades for the most part or North Korean parades.

It’s not just that they normalize political violence. They also accuse the left of engaging in mostly imaginary violence, which gives unhinged right-wingers justification to “retaliate.”

“I don’t want to be governed like this” is a powerful, necessary collective statement. The exact specifics of how you collectively do want to be governed—that’s necessarily the knotty work of years of organizing, negotiating, and building.

Fwiw arstechnica did a better write up of what he believes and it's more fucked up and more clearly based in eugenics He says it's miasma theory but in classic RFK Jr. fashion he defines it wrong. It would actually be better if he believed in miasma theory than his actual beliefs imho

Today in Not All Wrestlers Have Shitty Politics: CM Punk at the No Kings rally in Chicago. Yes I'm deeply disappointed that he's reversed his earlier stance and will be doing the WWE event in Saudi Arabia this month, which he's previously called "blood money." 😞 www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCir...

THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.
