In about one hour, I will be arraigned on 4 felony counts and face up to 30 years in prison for taking this little guy out of a Ridglan cage.
In addition to charging me, the government has banned me from contacting my co-defendants and is now trying to undermine my right to a speedy trial.
But every corrupt and unconstitutional act by the government will simply make our case even stronger. We press forward to defend the right to rescue—and to defend the tens of thousands of other dogs (and billions of other animals) who remain trapped in cruel cages.
Most importantly, we defend James. Every time I come home, he jumps in my lap and begs to be picked up. It was the first place he ever felt safe. Rescuing him was not a crime. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I relish the opportunity to defend rescuing James in court.
Fuck everybody in Germany who kept ranting about range anxiety and charging speeds that can't compete with gas refuelling.
We could have led on this and so many other things.
Time Germans start to love the future instead of fearfully clinging to some past that's dead and gone.
Here is Netanyahu in his own words explaining why he funded Hamas for years through Qatar. In his attempt to prevent peace, he funded the slaughter of Israelis and set the stage for genocide. They will attack everyone as Hamas supporters. But it was Israel that made Hamas.
The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground.
Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground.
War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.
EU citizens should sign this European Citizens' Initiative to suspend the EU-Israel association agreement (=free trade). This is a powerful constitutional tool, which at 1 mil signatures forces EU bodies to take action (see ⬇️). It's already at 750,000.

Y’all are acting like you’ve never seen a 79 year-old sexual predator wake up on Easter Morning, snort some Adderall and insult the world’s 2 billion Muslims while threatening war crimes against a country he illegally attacked to distract you from ‘Epstein Files’ before?
When my brother was released from prison, he was no longer the same it was not just a release, but as if he carried with him the pain of everyone who remained there.
He told us about the spread of severe skin diseases among the prisoners, caused by long months without bathing, without changing clothes, in the absence of water and any means of hygiene or sterilization. He said the suffocating smells filled the cells, and their bodies ached from constant neglect.
He told us about the extreme overcrowding in the cells, where dozens were crammed into a space too small for them, with no room to sit or sleep, taking turns lying down, spending long hours standing. No air, no sunlight, only closed walls and a suffocating confinement that crushed the spirit before the body.
He spoke about interrogations… about the harsh, repeated torture, the beatings, humiliation, and psychological pressure, just because he was from Gaza. He told us about starvation, about meals that were not enough even for a child, and a constant feeling of dizziness and exhaustion.
He told us about the biting cold, about long nights without blankets, shivering until morning, and wet clothes that never dried. About sickness… about unbearable pain, untreated wounds, and medicine denied to them, as if they were left to suffer in silence.
But what was worse than all of this… was the psychological destruction. He told us they were deprived of sleep for days, the lights kept on day and night, and shouting in their faces continuously. Sometimes they were forced to sleep while their hands were bound, in painful positions, unable to move or rest.
He said they were subjected to humiliating searches repeatedly, stripped of privacy and dignity. He told us about isolation, total disconnection from the world, no letters, no visits, no knowledge of their fate or their families… only emptiness, fear, and waiting.
He told us about moments when some completely broke under the pressure, silent crying in the dark, losing hope, people who changed completely and were no longer the same. Some became mentally ill, some lost the ability to speak, and some lived in total silence.
He told us things things the mind cannot comprehend, and the heart cannot bear. We listened, caught between shock and helplessness, as if hearing about another world but it was real.
The condition of prisoners in the jails is tragically beyond description. All of this happens, is reported, and yet nothing changes.
Sky News foreign correspondent Alex Crawford reported that Lebanese health workers in Nabatieh are being forced to deliberately delay their arrival at emergency scenes to avoid Israeli “double-tap” strikes, which, she said, have become a “pattern”.
LOL. Trump is now PRETENDING to negotiate with Iran so he can say they've agreed to almost everything, in order to push oil prices lower for a few more days.
His new "5-day" delay lines up perfectly with a planned U.S. Marines landing assault after the close of markets on Friday, at which time Trump will claim Iran backed out of the (imaginary) negotiations, and thus we had to land Marines to take the Straight by force.
That's what's shaping up here. Don't be fooled by Trump's false claims of negotiations. It's all theater for gullible Fox News idiots.
Eine Meldepflicht für Mitglieder der Bundesregierung über persönliche Aktienbeteiligungen an dem Rüstungskonzern @RheinmetallAG besteht gegenwärtig erst ab einem Aktienpaket im Wert von ca. 3,5 Milliarden (!) Euro.
Der @bundeskanzler hält diesen Grenzwert für ausreichend, alles darunter sind #Peanuts.
Diese Camarilla verhöhnt den Souverän. Zu dem Thema übrigens auch ein Beitrag von mir - ab Freitag in der @OstdeutscheAZ.
This is why we must get everyone to understand that sanctions are not an “alternative” to war; they are an act of war. Sanctions have killed over 38 million people since 1971. Half of those were children under the age of five.
End the Siege on Cuba!
