I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

The government that withholds information of unprecedented public interest about the most notorious spy-traffickers in human history, with proven ties across global elites, tells you they want you to have a digital ID so they can track everything you do for your safety

You thought it was bad up to this point, but in the future educated Americans won't exist at all
Indiana University, which has now been subordinated to the direct control of the Indiana GOP, announces that criticism of the MAGA movement and doctrines of the GOP is forbidden. An instructor is dismissed for speaking critical words about the MAGA movement.

And again, tax them 15% by height
Millionaires group urge Reeves to introduce wealth tax to ‘lift kids of out poverty’.
But Govts listen to the City type.
1% have more wealth than 70% of the population.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.
Can't grow economic by squeezing the bottom 50%.

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

I'll repeat my tax policy, tax billionaires 15% by height, which is roughly everything above the shoulders
It's almost like when you tax the rich in a place you get to make that place a better place and even the rich just looking out the windows of their limos at most of that place in passing prefer to think "oh, that looks nice" rather than "I must prepare my bunker for the impending apocalypse"
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.
And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

The bridge which used to lead to the Orgreave coking plant, where the police attacked striking miners in 1984. Hundreds of police officers then perjured themselves to support a blatantly political prosecution. The trial collapsed but nobody was ever held to account, Some scars never heal.

How to: Get to Know Android Privacy and Security Settings
Open up your Android phone’s Settings app and you’ll find dozens of different options with little guidance on what those options do. Some of these settings have a serious impact on your privacy and security, altering what data gets shared automatically with apps, data brokers, and Google itself.
What sorts...

I thought that Satan was Peter Thiel though?
there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

US intel intercepted warnings last year from Israel's own military lawyers that Israel was committing war crimes in Gaza.
In short, Biden officials knew they were supplying weapons, in violation of US laws, that Israel was using to target civilians. Trump continued the policy.
