Today 3 statues came down in the Virginia Capitol Square including one of Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Other statues include Hunter Holmes McGuire and former Governor William Smith.

Locally for me; they are opposing taxes on billionaires to pay for healthcare, opposing voter-approved affordable housing funds being spent on housing, and instead want them rerouted to police budgets, and are supporting no-bid contracts with Palantir founder Joe Lonsdale.

The Trump-Vance administration is pressuring the National Park Service to surrender land within Yosemite National Park to a private developer.

“If the deal goes through, the Trump administration would be breaking with 150 years of American precedent at the birthplace of the national park system. The federal government has historically strived to expand the crown-jewel national parks, not give up land within them.”

I don’t think you can sufficiently despise this administration. Every day there’s some new way that it is working to carve up and sell off pieces of this country while making life in it worse.

This account is run by Jennica Pounds, the person who was posing as an independent journalist and then got outed as a Department of War employee when she moronically fumbled a scoop that a State Department official tried to give her. And now she's building a database to track American citizens based on party affiliation. This is a special government employee creating tools that will be used to intimidate the public and go after dissenters under the pretext of fighting a domestic terror threat--and she's promoting it while also shilling her forthcoming book. There has got to be accountability for these people at some point. Democrats are simply not serious if people like Pounds can just skate after everything is said and done. Everyone in her orbit should at some point be placed under a microscope.

A secret Dept of Defense employee has built a database to track American citizens by their political affiliations. The Pentagon still refuses to say what her job description is.

true story: Ratko Mladić's own war time diary was used as evidence in his war crimes tribunal. In it, he wrote of the arms and training supplied by Israel to Serbia AFTER the international arms embargo, during the genocide, shortly before the Srebrenica massacre.

Journalists, international investigators, and human rights organizations documented extensive physical and circumstantial proof on the ground, which heavily corroborated the transactions hinted at in Ratko Mladić’s diary. They recovered spent artillery shells, mortar rounds, and specialized ammunition with distinct Hebrew inscriptions, found at Serb military positions surrounding besieged Bosnian cities, including Sarajevo.

When human rights lawyer Eitay Mack tried to petition to the court to declassify Israeli archives to ascertain the extent of the weapons transfers, Israel's High Court refused, claiming that the truth could damage Israel's reputation.

Should be legal - even mandatory - to use deadly force to defend a civilian from police murder

Yuri Gagarin if born 50 years earlier would have lived almost his entire life farming mud and eating shit, if born 50 years later would have been blown up by a ukranian drone while high as shit.

He was born in the right time to be the first cosmonaut to go to space.

[pinkishlefty @pinkishlefty]

The absolute funniest part of capitalist ideology is that they somehow managed to convince everyone that "freedom" meant like...the freedom to choose between 63 kinds of shampoo, and not like...the freedom to quit a job you hate without losing your health insurance.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Crazy how being a pedophile straight up gives you an advantage in the Republican Party now.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

aipac boss call was made. they are unanimous in their hatred of me, and i welcome their hatred. if you’re a defender of israel’s genocide, of its occupation, of its child killing spree - then your boos mean nothing to me

[The Data Visionary @coolguyzune]

i find it interesting that all the sudden a class of unelected corporate shitheads think they are in charge of everyone and not just their employee underlings
