The standard demands for a peasant revolt for thousands of years of human history have been: erase all debts, destroy the records of their existence, and redistribute the land. Did you know that when you say "tax the rich" that you're asking for something half-assed and moderate in the grand scheme of history?

Amen, and it's exactly what MAGA did to the Rs.

The cynical words of an old law professor seem again apt, sadly:

“Domestic law is a matter of law.

“Foreign laws are a matter of expert evidence.

“International law is a matter of fiction.”

I must emphasise this is not my view, but a view often expressed in legal circles, usually off the record.

Trump has started an illegal war with Iran. The US Congress has a responsibility to impeach him and remove him from office.

Democrats need to get up to speed on crypto and understand it as nothing less than a threat to the rule of law, and nation states themselves. There is no 'political compromise' to be had here.

/2 I stood there with half an eyebrow and was sullen. Why, I demanded to God, is there not some kind of pop-up screen where I get asked if I really want to shave off my eyebrow Y/N? Why is there no guardrail? But Guardrails are ineffective against human indifference, incompetence, or evil.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him calmly disclosing he had a legal & registered firearm.

Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

This injustice is what systemic white supremacy enables.

Trump admin reverses, tells ICE Gestapo to continue raiding farms, hotels, eateries, etc. even if those businesses are destroyed

This has the fingerprints of Nazi Stephen Miller all over it.

Trump phone is either one of the most blatant examples of vaporware in tech history or outright fraud.

Ok so let me get the order of events straight.

- Terrorist dressed up in police gear breaks in to a senator's house, shoots him and his wife
- Flees the scene
- Goes to a separate elected representative's house
- Cops arrive on the scene before he can break in
- Surround the house
- He starts shooting at cops
- Cops fire back
- Somehow all miss him
- They somehow let him barge into the house
- He murders a sitting congresswoman and her husband
- And THEN the cops allow him to escape again??
- Are we fucking kidding??

This is either complete ineptitude or the police were actual accomplices in the murder and attempted murder of two different Democratic Congresspeople.
