@TippingOddsLV@jeremyscahill Hmmm yeah, I wonder what happened after that? Something about violating a congressional arms embargo and selling missiles to Iran?
Seems around every corner in history is a Republican charlatan fucking up the world.

It seems, from all reporting, that ICE today
- shot someone who was not attempting to run them over but, rather, "flee the scene"
- was not the person they were looking for
- who had a 3yr old in the car
- who they dragged out into the street
- all while not wearing body cams
Hasan Piker on the ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: “This is why isn’t not just abolish ICE. This is why it’s punish ICE. Hold ICE accountable. We have to bring back fucking law and order into this goddamn country. These people are lawless bandits. They’re thugs. The way they’re operating is completely unacceptable. It is ripping apart the social fabric that is holding us together. We can’t go on like this. We have to abolish ICE and we have to punish ICE”
This is satanic and I'm not even being hyperbolic saying this. Meta created this tech so that NONE OF US have privacy and anonymity anywhere, because every person wearing them is using you for content and spying for Meta. I hope other countries outlaw them as a security threat.
Also insane that Centrist Democrats tried to link El Sayed and Platner as ‘controversial candidates’ when El Sayed’s biggest controversy is… being a Muslim. That’s apparently as bad as being a (rapist) war criminal mercenary.
@HateMachinist@avantgardenerss@gldivittorio Your centrist brain is so absolutely cooked that you're in here fighting shadows and dreaming up a lesser of two rapists scenario. Worse yet, you think there is even a marginally good outcome to be had in that imaginary scenario. Incredible stuff.
I got my hands on 65 hours worth of live broadcast news coverage and special reports on the MOVE bombing which occurred 41 years ago today. I produced this piece using that archival footage.
On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped a C4 explosive on the home of the @themoveorganization family at 62nd and Osage Avenue, after 500 police fired over 10,000 rounds into the home. City officials allowed the fire to burn, killing 11 people including five children, and destroying 61 homes.
Eyewitness and forensic evidence indicates that several MOVE children attempted to flee the burning home through the rear but were either shot back inside or their bullet-ridden bodies were thrown back into fire by police waiting in the alleyway.
In 2021, it was revealed UPenn and Princeton had stolen the remains of several of the children and not only conducted experiments on them but also wheeled them out on gurneys at fundraising events.
John Africa's head has never been returned and saw marks on his neck indicate foul play during an unauthorized autopsy.
No one has ever been held accountable for any of it.
In 2023, @mikeafricajr bought the house back which was originally owned by his aunt Louise James, but was seized by the City through eminent domain after the bombing and turned into a police substation. He is barred from turning the home into a memorial until he pays off the $400K mortgage, support link below.
