“By all appearances, as a reward for his loyalty, the Trump administration is poised to pay Michael Flynn millions of taxpayer dollars to resolve a case that, at present, he cannot even convince a court to consider on the merits.”
Grand theft government
President Trump is in the process of sending millions of dollars in taxpayer money directly to his political allies — and himself.

“Deputy Attorney General Blanche's attack on lower courts is an impressive combination of light on substance; shamelessly hypocritical; and profoundly dangerous. More people should be condemning it.”

“Everybody has an origin story. All these people in power have been rejected by polite society. There are two ways to handle that: reform, be a better person and look inward, or become a full fascist authoritarian. Most chose the second.”

“Sheinbaum said the marches, which also took place in other cities, had been funded by right-wing politicians who oppose her government.”

“Starting to fall into place”? Good God. We do not deserve what we thought we had for 80 years. Not even fighting for a Republic on life support in ICU for ten months. This is the final chapter and pundits and people keep posting like the series will be renewed and election days will “save” US. Wow.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

no country for bad tech bros
If Democrats had any sense of self-preservation, they'd threaten Google: "If you enable fascists, once we retake power, we'll target, then break up your company. We'll destroy it."

They can't say anything remotely close to that, however. Short thread.
New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

“Big tech has made their choice”

Overdue for a coup to oust the coup
You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

“Palestine today is a metaphor of our life and where our life is going to go.

Rejection of this system is imperative. These same technologies used to destroy the lives of Palestinians will inevitably be turned against the citizens of Israel’s funders.”

Francesca Albanese’s new report examines how 60+ countries are complicit in Israel’s war crimes and how their contributions will come back to haunt their own citizens.
