The party of states rights, the party of law and order, the party that warned us of the federal government rounding people up and putting them into camps.....is now the party of the opposite of all those things.

Hey, shoutout and solidarity to all the people who really need to work today, but are choosing to participate in this General Strike.
Shoutout and solidarity to all the people who want to participate, but are unable to.
We are all doing our best. Maybe it will happen today.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

The 2029 Pretti Good Act will establish a commission to identify all agents, create a detailed accounting of all acts, and hold criminally liable as necessary. Agents who voluntarily and truthfully disclose will be granted some leniency, provided their crimes did not include murder or torture.
When I say this agency [ICE and CBP] CAN’T be reformed this is why.

US journos:
I've been pitching a mag feature on possible military conflict between US/Canada, but editors keep telling me it's not realistic. With the invasion of Venezuela (and soon Greenland / Mexico), it seems increasingly likely.
What editors do you know that would jump on this feature?

Before they murdered Renee Good, they killed the English language. They wield words like “terrorist” and “radical” as cudgels against anyone who dares raise an objection.
If you are angry, take action. Attend protests, contact representatives, and FFS vote.

So gross to watch US news media glaze the CIA and the military after pointing out how the entire operation was illegal. You’re supposed to refuse illegal orders. You can’t have it both ways. If Trump is a criminal, so is every service member and agent involved. This is basic Nuremberg trial stuff.

Am I the only person who can't stand Stranger Things? It's just five seasons of shrill pre-teens screaming at each other. I imagine this is what a Trump cabinet meeting sounds like.

Buried in the basement of your newsfeed is a current case in the Swedish courts about Lundin Oil's war crimes in the Sudan.
I wrote about a similar case presented to the Hague in 2013. If we want to stop war, we need to prosecute those who profit from it.

If people do not regularly go to the theater, they forget how to do it and before long they are like “theator: is toilet?” and then when they see a theater they use it as a toilet due to that confusion and I would like to hear more discussion about this because of my high intelligence levels
