NEW: Over 60 People Indicted on RICO Charges in Atlanta, Allegedly Promoting 'Anarchist Ideas'

https://unicornriot.ninja/2023/over-60-people-indicted-on-rico-charges-in-atlanta-allegedly-promoting-anarchist-ideas/

Gary_Host,

@UnicornRiot

Appreciate covering so many modern flashpoint, historical moments.

Hope one day we'll look back and remember the day these RICO charges brought by lawless, activist AG Chris Carr were revealed was also the day similarly despicable, lawless, activist AG - Ken Paxton's trial began.

This fascism and injustice will not stand.

Until then, lets work to see "the moral universe's arc bend toward justice"!

When will the lawlessness by local Atlanta and state Georgia government officials end so can return to reality?

History will remember this deep stain - this moment and these despicable, murderous, corporate lackey, ideologues - all criminal heads of government.

Gov Kemp, AG Carr, Mayor Dickens, the corrupted majority of city council.

These fools are the true criminal conspiracy.

Do you know a friendly general instance that implements translation? Markdown (Is that only Firefish or Glitch?) would be nice...

Leads appreciated. :masto_love:

I've given the "small instance" via managed hosting a fair shot. I've been 100% happy with @mastohost

However, lack of visibility and lack of reach due to poor federation gets real old.

I've been waiting on a relay's approval for 24+ hours...

Democrats When They Want Your Vote:
•"Healthcare is a right!"
•"Climate change is real!"
•"We need to end all wars!"

Democrats when they have power:
•Block Medicare for All
•Expand fossil fuel subsidies
•Increase the Military budget

VOTING BLUE DOESN'T CHANGE A THING

murdered a US citizen extrajudicially in an expanded drone war, prosecuted more whistleblowers than any before despite "sunlight is the best disinfectant", Single Payer (costs 1/2 with better outcomes for all OECD peers) off the table from the start, his WH records of meetings colluding with insurance donors.

NV Dems staffers, when social democrats swept state elections quit en mass! The DWS DNC colluded against Bernie in 2016.

What happens when dreams are deferred?

@siderea @Radical_EgoCom Now Hillary, spouse of Marc Rich pardoner on last day in office... $12 is enough for peons, "bring them to heel", white noise generators to keep uninvited press from hearing and reporting a patio campaign stop, lavish speaking fees (kickbacks?) from Wall Street....

Why should I support corporate Dems again? It's clear who they owe fealty to - Princeton's 2014 study laid this bare.

I bristle when whipped to support corporate Dems...

About once every ten years there's a huge scandal where it turns out the NSA has been spying on basically everyone on earth without a warrant, and there's a big angry blowup and Congressional hearings, and there's an agreement not to prosecute if the NSA agrees not to do it again. And then ten years later it turns out they kept doing it, or rather, shut down the old program and started up a new program doing the same thing in a new way. (1/2)

Why do governments demand this information asymmetry??

This information must be so valuable, that the US trashes rule of law (supposedly the immutable bedrock of our democracy and justice) to protect these crimes:

General Michael Hayden lies to congress - no consequences

Telecoms found complicit and about to be sued to death (because the Church commission happened) - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/oct/10/supreme-court-telecoms-win-immunity

Section 702 is up for renewal in Dec. nobody cares?

    My favorite bridge! Probably because I'm a Michigan native and have so many childhood memories of Mackinaw City, Bridge, & Island.

    oh wow. Mackinaw City is way up north!

    The only taste of Michigan i've known was a month long job in Holland once. It was early summer and gorgeous :)

    Would love to go back.

    It was a great source of amusement to my local coworkers when I ask, "what are the looooong poles on the fire hydant's for?"

    It is important for coming out stories, and LGBTQIA+ History to be told. I am reposting this from my previous instance, not for sympathy, but so others know what my generation endured, so others will know they aren't alone, and to bring light to situations not all that different, 40+ years later.

    My Coming Out Story

    Up until late last year, I had only told a few people my coming out story. I now understand how important it is to share our experiences. Anyone reading these will realize they aren’t alone.

    I’ve always been smaller than others my age. Add red hair, freckles and glasses, I was a bully’s favorite target.

    My bullying was extreme, often physical and much more than unkind teasing or simply being stuffed in a locker.

    My home life was equally troubled. My father was abusive to my mother and us kids. There was no support system for me at such a young age. Seeking help from adults always made retaliation even worse.

    Early on, I sensed I was different. Clearly my classmates did as well.

    My freshman year of high school some football players grabbed me, took me into a bathroom, and beat me to the point an ambulance was needed.

    Their excuse was “he’s a faggot.”

    My family home was on a hill, in front of our High School. (See photographs below)

    The weekend after I was hospitalized, someone burned the word “FAG” into the grass on the back of the hill behind our house - facing directly into the front of the high school.

    The humiliation I endured from the entire community, seeing that word burnt onto our property every day, was worse than the broken bones, stitches and bruises.

    And so I was outed, believing that something was horribly wrong with me.

    This was during the Reagan-Thatcher years. During my four years of high school the country was in the midst of the AIDS crisis.

    The "adults" all around me mocked and ridiculed the activists seen on TV. Society seemed convinced that AIDS was a punishment for being gay.

    The anxiety and stress, 24 hours a day, at school, at home, everywhere, was unbearable.

    I frequently considered running away over the years. But I had three younger siblings who relied on me, especially when our father went into a rage.

    After one too many times, I tried to intervene, and stand up for my mother. He did stop striking her, but with one hand around my neck, lifted me from the floor and tossed me against a wall, like a rag doll. We never spoke again.

    Sadly my mother is one of the worst bigots I know. MAGA-style bigotry. To this day, she does not understand why it is racist to have a "plantation" motif in her kitchen, complete with "lawn jockey" and Aunt Jemima style figurines everywhere.
    She thinks "religion can fix the sin of homosexuality."

    I left that town after graduation, joined the Navy and rarely go back.

    My support and love now come from friends and "found family" met along the way in the years since. My life is all the better for it.

    View from student parking lot of high school. Facing the back side of the water tower and my childhood home, sitting atop a small hill.
    Much older picture, actually taken during the 1980s when I attended this High School. From the top of a green, grassy hill, a large sprawling school campus is seen at the bottom of the hill.

    Gary_Host,

    @riversidebryan I love you ♥️
