  • she was taken to the border at San Ysidro, where she was presented with self-deportation paperwork.

    “But when Juli refused to sign the paperwork, when Juli demanded to see a judge, when Juli demanded to speak to an attorney, she was punished,” the attorney said. “She was taken back to an unmarked van along with other travelers who were also insisting on their rights, and taken to a warehouse where she was only given water. A warehouse where she was not given food. A warehouse, where men and women were held together. A warehouse without any law enforcement employee, without any official there present,” he added.

    We’re paying for this ethnic cleansing campaign. Tax dollars are going to abducting brown folks at gunpoint.











  • A flyer for the camp on its website has a message written in Chin, a language spoken by people in the Chin state of Myanmar, according to USA Today.

    A Google translation of the message reads as follows: "Is there anything in your life that you cannot overcome? Are you worried about your health? Do you want to go to the next level in your relationship with the Lord? That’s good news for you!

    "Come to Shekinah Glory Camp and participate in what the Lord is doing through the power of the Holy Spirit through the man of God in Australia, teacher Rual Cung. You will never be the same.

    So probably they’re involved in trafficking children from Chin state, the poorest state in Myanmar, strongly effected by the civil war and 90% christian.


  • About an hour before Iranian state TV first reported loud explosions in Tehran, pizza orders around the Pentagon went through the roof

    there are “a multitude of fast food restaurants in the Pentagon complex, but no pizza places”

    the account noted three hours later that a gay bar near the Pentagon had “abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night” and said this probably pointed to “a busy night at the Pentagon”.

    Just some truly incredible analysis.

    Pizza and gay bar traffic tipping the hand of global events is the cyberpunk dystopia I was hoping for.



  • Sure, these fascists have spent 5 years delegitimizing accusations of electoral fraud and are openly committed to ending democracy.

    But so far the only actual evidence of ‘election stealing’ is openly buying votes in direct violation of the law, illegal campaigns tactics sometimes resulting in charges, illegal coordination with PACs, systemic campaign finance violations, direct coordination with at least Israeli and Russian leaders to influence the election, decades of foreign disinformation operations pushing for exactly this outcome and a huge influx of dark money from anonymous plutocrats.

    Just not direct voting machine manipulation.


  • Securing the resources to spend on communal projects that benefit the state is one of the many reasons that state employs violence against its citizens, yep.

    Roads are a great example because across the world, major road projects were always built to speed up the military getting to and putting down rebellious provinces - bearing arms against their subjects.

    All states are instruments of violence, that’s their sole function. Anything they do that makes our lives easier is just the velvet glove over that iron fist. It’s easy to pretend otherwise when the state hasn’t turned its violence on you yet.
