The U.S. - which we know is now run by merciless ultra-rich pedophiles - recently withdrew from “key U.N. bodies that seek to hold states accountable for rape and use of child soldiers in conflict, among other crimes.”
The U.S has become a state run by and for the interests of child rapists.

US turns its back on global efforts for women and children terrorized by violence and conflict
The Trump administration’s move to withdraw the US from these organizations risks undercutting lasting peace and global human rights accountability.

It is inarguably the case that the pedophile ultra rich that currently run the U.S. have taken actions that have directly caused far more children to be forced into sex trafficking, child marriage, and other horrible forms of abuse.

Meanwhile, Trump Is Decimating Anti-Trafficking Services
While officials make promises about the Epstein files and interview Ghislaine Maxwell, the administration has been quietly undermining survivors.

2 week CR for DHS is genuinely awful
Schumer has graduated to world-historical levels of political malpractice. Van Papen, Quisling, Stephen A. Douglas-level incompetence that in retrospect becomes indistinguishable from evil.

There is a reason fascism always collapses
i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.
disturbingly plausible

In theater. So they think they’re at war.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

The revolution will be [promoted by will stancil driving journalists around, apparently]
A number of responders were quite opposed to the idea of giving ridealongs to The Atlantic (I understand their frustration with the outlet).
But I drove these guys around for two hours and they witnessed abductions, confrontations with the public, tear-gassings.
The lesson: let the world see.

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)
