“Putting the Homan and James stories together it becomes clear why the federal Public Integrity Section has, in effect, been shut down. If your aim is to indict enemies and protect friends, having such an office isn’t just needless; it’s a problem. It’s at best an impediment and complication to indicting foes, if not a total barrier. … They’re liable to end up indicting friends like Tom Homan. Legitimate prosecutors are … a double threat to the new operation.” https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/state-of-play-doj-edition/sharetoken/0e6e1dd8-085f-42bb-86f9-431655ad69c9

We are now at the point where health agencies will try and restrict life-saving drugs and vaccines on a whim, with no regard for evidence or due process. These are such dangerous times.

Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson: “No country has the right to violate Swedish airspace. Sweden has the right to defend its skies, with force if necessary, and will do so.” Analyst Joakim Paasikivi noted that NATO would likely only shoot down a Russian jet if it ignored orders to leave.

Zelensky, Ukraine’s First Lady and the delegation have arrived in New York for the UN General Assembly. He said nearly 20 meetings are planned this week to secure new partner support: “We will do everything to stop the war and guarantee safety for every Ukrainian child. Ukraine must come out stronger.”

(WSJ) With the Trump administration continuing to back off of anything with Biden's name on it (like GREEN power investment), it appears that we are giving China a three to four year advantage with the US lack of investment & support. Thanks, Trump. www.wsj.com/economy/glob...

@AlliFlowers @ai6yr I was going to come up with a list of “recreational” activities that wouldn’t result in killing kids at a baseball game. But the list is… literally everything except GUNS.

Speak out. Protect trans people. This is a test to see if we’re willing to sacrifice the basic human rights of an entire group of people. We must say “no”.

Not just trumpistan, demo in Hannover Germany today.

Against a right wing AFD and so called christians!. Intolerant, ignorant illiterate assholes, they never read their bible, which clearly states

Love your Neighbour.

Yet again, USA:

Maybe Trump didn't mean it...right? NAH, the bullshit from this guy is consistent as hell. He hates everything from people who don't love him. Even then, if these people in love with him decide that he is scum, Trump quickly hates them in return. What an insecure five-year-old.

The Charlie Kirk “memorial” was pure authoritarian theater. Stephen Miller sounded just like Joseph Goebbels. Tucker Carlson made references to hummus-eating conspirators killing Christ. Trump made it about himself and bored everyone so much they started leaving. There, now you’re caught up.
