If the Supreme Court grants full immunity to the President of the US, I guess it means that Biden can launch a drone or something to Mar-a-Lago, right? He'd have full immunity.

The #UnitedStates #SupremeCourt is turning into a dictatorial #oligarchy of judges. As long as government is divided & gridlocked, which it is & has been for a long time, #SCOTUS wields unchecked power to dictate rights away & allow lawless politicians to evade #accountability.

If #Republicans do away with our #democracy, then the Supreme Court will make it legal.

The court's #corruption scandals, numerous & flagrant, show an institution that is controlled by a cabal of #fascists. :mastodon:


I, for one, am shocked that The Baroness Shafik sided with the powerful against the Palestinians being exterminated by Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the West Bank.

"The [Russian Foreign Ministry] document for the first time provides official confirmation and codification of what many in the #Moscow elite say has become a hybrid war against the West. #Russia is seeking to subvert Western support for #Ukraine and disrupt the domestic politics of the #UnitedStates and #European countries, through #propaganda campaigns supporting isolationist and #extremist policies”

The lengths people will go to so as not to be reminded of their complicity in genocide is staggering.

“This decision is not only necessary to maintain the safety of our campus and students, but is consistent with the fundamental legal obligation – including the expectations of federal regulators – that universities act to protect students and keep our campus community safe"
Imagine cancelling what's probably the proudest day of this young woman's life because you don't want to damage your image.

Medical debt is crushing for many families. Some relief has come with a wave of debt buyouts by county and city governments, charities and even fast-food restaurants that pay pennies on the dollar to clear enormous balances. But these buyouts are only a partial solution, and point to the need for the overall cost of health care to drop. Overall, Americans spend more on health care than people in other wealthy countries do:

Donald Trump’s plan to end war is to force Ukraine to give up territory https://www.byteseu.com/16780/ #America #Politics #UnitedStates #UnitedStatesOfAmerica #US #USPolitics #USA #USAPolitics


Please don't post this nonsense. Donald Trump doesn't have a "plan to end war."

Trump is Putin's agent. Period. When Putin started this war on Ukraine, Trump praised Putin, and suggested that the US should similarly invade Mexico. Trump's own NatSec Advisor confirmed that Trump will withdraw the US from NATO. Trump himself said he'd encourage Putin to invade our NATO allies.

Why is the Zionist leader of a nation founded on ethnic cleansing and apartheid helping the Zionist leader of a nation founded on ethnic cleansing and apartheid?

Sec of State #Blinken reiterated the msg in Brussels on Thurs. & Sen #ChrisCoons, a close #Biden ally & a staunch supporter of #Israel, said the #UnitedStates is “at that point” where #conditions must be placed on #MilitaryAid to Israel.
The changing dynamic comes as Israel plans to invade the southern #Gaza city of #Rafah, where up to 1.5M #Palestinians are sheltering in decrepit conditions after fleeing there under Israeli orders. #US ofcls have warned Israel against a major campaign in Rafah.


In Thur’s call, #Biden “made clear the need for #Israel to announce & implement a series of specific, concrete, & measurable steps to address #civilian harm, #humanitarian suffering, & the safety of #AidWorkers,” acc/to a WH summary of the call. “He made clear that #UnitedStates policy w/respect to #Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.”

“In the coming HOURS & DAYS, we will be looking for concrete, tangible steps that they’re taking” - WH spox John Kirby

The call between the 2 leaders came 3 days after 7 workers from the José Andrés-run #WCK were killed by an Israeli strike on a clearly marked convoy, igniting outrage in the #UnitedStates & abroad. #POTUS held the call w/ #Netanyahu specifically because of the deadly strikes, Kirby said, adding that #Biden was “shaken” by the attack.

#Biden added that the #UnitedStates expected to see #Israel not just “announcing” changes, but “executing” & “implementing” them.

The WH summary of the Biden - #Netanyahu call added that #POTUS had told the Israeli prime minister that the #humanitarian situation in #Gaza was “unacceptable” & had called for an “immediate #ceasefire.”

A Canadian woman was arrested for simply driving in the US with a Canadian license, which is entirely legal.

During her arrest, the officer ignored the law, then at the station they denied her civil rights under the Hague convention.

All for profit.

The lesson: Traveling to the United States can be dangerous. I suggest avoiding it when you can.
