Truth is crazier than fiction.
This is a wild story and worth the read.

Our country has a problem and it’s nestled itself into this administration.
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

30 minute programme clumsily edits a 54 min speech in a way that doesn’t mislead the audience because the whole world watched the ensuing riot on live TV and rioters testified that Trump incited them in court as a defence. Hope he sues. The BBC will win.

If Trump can sue the BBC for suggesting that he was responsible for Jan 6 (which he obviously was), can Zelensky sue Trump for suggesting that he was responsible for the war in Ukraine (which he obviously wasn’t)?

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.

We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

AUTHORS!!

Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON?

Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen.
