There’s a strong arm robbery of the American republic occurring and I’m on the case! Retired NYPD Detective. Never give in to these fascists and fear not- Good will always triumph over evil!

I think the mistake everyone is making is in not recognizing that trump is forging a new alliance w/Russia and China on power.He wants to be a real strongman leader like them.
They’ll be divvying up the world and who then can stop it? Our traditional allies know this is happening.
I wish I was wrong

150 4.8gl drums of sulfuric acid where ordered and delivered to the island according to the receipts. For what? Pool maintenance for 200 years? 1gl of that shit dissolves a human body into brown blubber, without even DNA to reconstruct. Less if it's a kid.

If ice wasn’t terrorizing their communities they would not have to wear masks. Their police do not have to wear mask. If ice treated people respectfully and lawfully they would not have to hide their faces.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.

We really are not a very good-natured country.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Why was Mar-a-Lago a location where women continued to be trafficked from. We have questions for President Trump. And the broader issue here is why wasn't this investigated when these accusations were heard by the FBI years ago?"

AI is a bubble, but too many people confuse a bad investment strategy with the tech itself. AI will not go away after the bubble bursts any more than websites went away after the dot-com crash. The tech is too useful (though not the panacea the hype mongers would have us believe).

I’m working a convention today and have had many grey haired, bearded fellows come up to me and say they bought comics at my shop when they were kids. It’s giving me mixed emotions.
