KC8RNV - Tech engineer and aesthetic nomad. Intolerant of fascism and nihilism. Listener of crows. Driven by literature, tangled in philosophy, and fractured by everything beautiful.
Pinned
Nihilism has always been dead. In the darkest times, look deeply for something beautiful and it will appear, defying description, distilling the world into perfect meaning reborn. #nature #photography #animal #insect

Trump is an enemy of the Constitution and the People. The slimy cowards surrounding him are the only things enabling his destructive behavior.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

These men are as vile as they come. Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi had courage of which they are incapable.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Prosecute every single American who is responsible for this. Let a jury decide their fate, which is more than these people received.

The people who did this are not leaders. They are cruel demagogues who should be reviled by the public.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This is the kind of country Trump wants, and these are the slimy cowards who make it possible, along with every other American who refuses to publicly condemn it. It’s time to raise your fucking voice!

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers.
