France adopted its current constitution because the military threatened to invade Paris if they didn't en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_195...

Parliament kept trying to negotiate with Algerian resistance. Settler soldiers demanded a weaker parliament at gunpoint. They got it.

human rights are inalienable, perpetual, self evident and self enforcing. every new day of capitalism and empire is a violent overthrow of them

true revolution is not an offensive attack on anybody. it is the ability to defend the status quo in our hearts, wherever we are, from external violations

this is one of the funniest things that's ever been said at the white house. every comedian wishes they could write a joke this good
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

zionist leaders dismissed equal rights as "a piano nobody knows how to play" in an era when black americans were finally getting access to pianos and showing the world an entirely new way to play them

you can fit the universe into this fact

these democrat elites launder their supremist beliefs through technocratic doublespeak that makes a racist worldview seem like simple pragmatic data driven strategy. it's both clever and deeply toxic decidingtowin.org

"humanity won't go extinct" is a truly evil metric. you can comfortably fit a thousand holocausts into "humanity won't go extinct"

To be a US judge in 2025 is to be complicit in the lie that constitutional law exists.

To accept the dubious premise that we live in a functioning constitutional democracy, was arguably strategic in the past.

But at some point you need to just stop pretending.

1. Perhaps the order is unclear
2. No one read the order
3. "Folks actively chose to ignore it"

Ellis said it could not be No. 3, because that would violate Bovino's oath

fascists have gone full mask off. how long will it take for liberals to stop complaining about the hypocrisy of the long-dead facade and actually DO something?

Do you want to keep arguing forever with a straw man, or do you want to fight for freedom???

yes, there are israeli civilians. naming this is not a category error, or settler fragility. it doesn't condemn resistance. it's not apologia. it's not refuted by opinion polls, or the reality of colonialism, or the draft. no amount of pseudo-radical edgelord chic will make it less true. It just is.
