NO PEACE PRIZE FOR TRUMP’S LIES.

As part of today’s draw FIFA is awarding a Peace Prize to a president who is disappearing neighbors and occupying our cities.

That has no place in the Beautiful Game and no place here in DC.

We’re outside the Kennedy Center today where Donald Trump is attending the World Cup draw. The World Cup is a chance for the world to come together but this president is a leader who represents nothing but division, greed, and cruelty.

I love the idea of the World Cup draw tbh. it's really fun to have a random drawing determine which 3 countries I should hate for a few months for sports reasons. it's too bad it has been co-opted by an administration which believes we should hate everybody all the time

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

Horrifying story: Chicago promoted two police officers even after investigators found they engaged in sexual misconduct. That’s because the Chicago Police Department’s promotions system allows officers’ disciplinary records to be ignored.

They want us to be appalled, because caring about rules of war and human lives and the law all mark us out as inferior to them in their sick worldview.
They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

It’s all transparently bullshit and immune to rationality, but if struggling to stabilize half a burning boat to avoid drowning is “getting back in the fight,” what they’re really saying is there’s nothing the survivors could have done to avoid being killed. And that definitely isn’t the law.

Prison rape is wrong.

Jokes about prison rape are wrong.

Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong.

If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity.

BUT

A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.
