"What Donald Trump did on Friday should make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. Trump literally fabricated evidence in an effort to keep Abrego Garcia in a prison in El Salvador. You must understand that Trump would do that very thing to imprison anyone he wants to 'disappear' --including you or your family."

Why isn't the world going insane at Republican politicians visiting concentration camps and posing in front of people who will likely be dead within the decade.
This wasn't even normal in 1942. It's not even normal in North Korea - Fascist regimes usually keep their death camps a secret.

#TimothySnyder has written an extremely relevant article concerning “state terror” which is being promoted by the US regime through dehumanizing language and their abandonment of the rule of law.

I skenet av J K Rowlings fria fall in i någon slags galenskap med basen i renodlat transhat har Harry Potter-böckerna nu (av vissa, åtminstone) omvärderats som fascistisk litteratur.

US-born citizen being held for ICE under Florida’s new anti-immigration law
Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen, was being held in the Leon County Jail Thursday, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien” — even as a supporter waved his U.S. birth certificate in court.Jackie Llanos, Florida Phoenix (Raw Story)

RFK Jr saying the quiet part out loud…
In an article about autism, he talks about how autistic people will never pay taxes, hold a job, go on a date etc. “worthless”. Useless eaters.
This is straight up eugenics.
It’s also wrong. Many people with autism or disabilities can do ALL these things, but our worth should not be predicated on that.
Everyone has intrinsic value regardless of economic ability or contribution.

PS. yt-dlp is your friend (on Mac: brew install yt-dlp). Also make sure you have ffmpeg installed (brew install ffmpeg). Finally, I had to manually tell yt-dlp where to find ffmpeg although your mileage may vary based on installation method: yt-dlp "<URL>" --write-subs --ffmpeg-location=/opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg (--write-subs saves the subtitles if there are any to a file in a format you can use on the web).

With all due respect, you can shove your shithole country up your ass. Those of us lucky enough not to be stuck in your Dickensian hellhole and aren’t masochists have absolutely zero desire to contaminate our lives and enrich your fascist regime by visiting.

'“Concurrent with these agreements, the EEOC has withdrawn the March 17, 2025 letters to the Law Firms, and will not pursue any claims related to those issues,” Trump noted, referring to his intimidation of the firms.
The announcements come as part of Trump’s widespread attack on law firms, punishing them for filing lawsuits he disagrees with or hiring attorneys he doesn’t like. He’s issued executive orders penalizing some of the country’s top law firms, many of which have bent to the president’s will—including Wilkie Farr & Gallagher, the law firm of former second gentleman Doug Emhoff.
The total amount of free services pledged by law firms has now reached more than $900 million, a concerning statistic not only for other law firms but for the rule of law itself.'

Capitalists: capitalism and democracy are inextricable.
Also capitalists: “US Marine Corps Maj Gen Smedley Darlington Butler claimed he was recruited by a group of Wall Street financiers to lead a fascist coup against FDR and the US government in the summer of 1933 … Members included JP Morgan, Jr, Irénée du Pont, Robert Sterling Clark of the Singer sewing machine fortune, and the chief executives of General Motors, Birds Eye and General Foods.”
