I do believe these weirdo 'tradcath' US converts (JD Vance, Laura Ingraham, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Russell Brand, just as examples) have ever lacked sincerity. They did not participate in the Sacraments in any state of grace. They sought conversion to shoehorn in their political ideology

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

When was the last time our fabled First Amendment, just as a for instance, actually was enforced and adhered to?
There is no constitutionally legitimate scenario in which we are being de facto governed by the White House Deputy Chief of Staff using a half-dead president as his sock puppet. We went out of our way to amend the Constitution on precisely this point.

When Sarah Hurwitz says "1.5 civilians" per combatant she is explicitly saying that every male over 14 or so years is valid for Israel to kill.
As with every single argument over death ratios.
On Israeli TV they simply include the entire confirmed death toll including babies as "terrorists killed"

Democracy cannot exist under capitalism, and it cannot exist under white supremacy- yet a whole lot of folks somehow seem to think we live in one
Vaguely defined terms are so often used to cover up some really horrible shit
The way 'democracy' is used to refer to elections happening at all, but people act like they mean the actual will of the people being accomplished, not who wins between 2 genocidal ghouls in a fucken voting game

Noem and Hegseth may soon be determined 'more trouble than they're worth' in this administration
Kristi Noem and Hegseth both thrown under the bus this week.
She was blamed for disobeying judges orders and not turning the plane with 230+ immigrants around back to the US.
Hegseth blamed for ordering the murder of Venezuelan fisherman.

This is the ultimate purpose of disinformation (to make us feel it is impossible to discern truth) and genAI does it just by existing
one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

In Jenin, Israeli forces kill 2 wanted Palestinian men after apparent surrender. Footage shows unarmed men crawling, not running, prompting debate over whether lethal force was truly necessary or if the rules of engagement have shifted during the ongoing West Bank operation.
