RE: https://toad.social/@wdlindsy/116490447386348673 As if we needed any more information that the nation constructed from the states of North America plus a few others will have to be rebuilt from the ground up. I don’t know what to say about the states themselves that engage in this behavior […]

The operation of corporations within states must be stripped of power to spend any money on elections. I’d like to say they shouldn’t be able to lobby either. The states can strip them of that power.

Sorry, The Original Magna Carta Was A Flop That Annoying History Again Much ado was made about the Magna Carta during the recent visit of the current King of England, who had to politely remind the de facto king of America about the rule of law and its hard fought, hard won history. And the […]

Yesterday, reporting from Denver confirmed that ADL was the source of a tip IDing Evergreen shooter Desmond Holly. Kash got a tip from the ADL, failed to use it to prevent a Nazi shooting, then cut ADL and SPLC off. Oops. Gonna make for AWK trial. emptywheel.net/2026/04/24/k...

Not sure why police department in the US would be surprised by this. They ARE actively working with ICE and significant segment of the population don't trust the cops in the first place, for good reason. Police across the US worry officers are being misidentified as ICE, records show Exclusive […]

we saw the most mediocre minds of our generation destroyed by slopbots, sleep-deprived hysterical, dragging themselves through the API streets at 1am looking for a Claude fix

ISRAELIS SAY GOD GAVE THEM THE LAND. IF TRUE - LET THEM FOR MONEY AND WEAPONS ASK GOD INSTEAD OF THE USA. NO MORE MONEY OR WEAPONS

While Robert Mueller was risking his life in combat, Trump was following in his father's footstep in New York perfecting the art of keeping Black families out of his father's apartment buildings.

Israel as it was-is finished. It will be remembered as the most hated nation of this generation. Not because of religion- but because of what it chose to do. You cannot starve an entire people and expect the world to stay silent. You cannot commit genocide in full view of humanity and escape […]

AIR TRAVEL IN AMERICA Wait in line for 3 hours to be patted down and maybe be kidnapped by ICE. If you aren't kidnapped, maybe your plane will crash into a fire truck on the tarmac responding to a call about a fire on a different plane. The Fascist has successfully turned US airspace into the […]

Thanks to Wired for reporting what has been known by privacy advocates both in and out of Congress for weeks. Democrat Jim Himes is quietly whipping votes to help Donald Trump and Kash Patel spy on Americans using ChatGPT. Absolutely shameful.

Humans were given a planet overflowing with trees, fruit, water, medicine, and sunshine and then invented debt, capitalism, and war. And we wonder why space aliens keep a low profile.

‘Someone knows something’ but it sure ain’t Crash Patel’s FBI or the cops in Arizona. There’s all kind of surveillance of Americans going on but they can’t find a guy who abducted, and most certainly murdered, a grandma. So you have a high profile victim having beg for clues that law […]

Some Americans are worried about what used to be the constitution. The FBI is buying the location data of Americans. Not with warrants. Not with probable cause. With money. But that should be no surprise. If you’re on Facebook, you give away your life and rights every day. For free. To […]

Ooooookay MAGA nutjob. If you could teleport, why to a Waffle House and not, say, Hawaii? Maybe that’s why he found his hallucination no fun. Just another MAGA Regime operative. He sure didn’t teleport any aid to anyone. Top US Fema official claims to have teleported to a Waffle House before […]

A French journalist Marine Vlahovic was found dead in her home in Marseille while working on a documentary covering Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Not saying Mossad was involved, but she committed suicide by shooting herself in the back of her head.

The United States has threatened to drop their biggest bomb on Iran. B-52s are being loaded with DVDs of the Melania documentary.

TRUMP IN ONE SINGLE EVENT -- "They won't be there for us" -- "We have some that are really enthusiastic. They're coming already." -- "This isn't 'need'" -- "If we need anything, they should be jumping to help us" -- "We want them to come and help us with the strait" -- My attitude is we […]

One minute the MAGA Reich has destroyed Iran’s navy. The next minute Iran has ships laying mines. 40 mine laying ships. That we destroyed. Maybe. Or maybe we don’t know if they’ve laid any mines. But MAGA needs help clearing the mines we don’t know they’ve laid using ships we destroyed. Oh, and […]

We are apparently in the phase of foreign policy where it’s “war” when you want to sound tough and “not war” when you want to avoid responsibility.
