The governor didn’t offer much of a rationale in granting clemency to Daniel Perry, who killed a Black Lives Matter protester in 2020, but apparently the enemy of his enemy is his friend.

I guess it's good that won this case against extradition to the but I think what's happening to him currently might be worse than the alternative. He's in a state of suspended animation, never knowing what his future will be or when the next steps will be taken. Psychological torture in addition to the physical condition he is kept in. Actually being in the US would put pressure on the government to prove what's so much worse about what he did compared to other journalists. IDK.

"On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin NETANYAHU, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav GALLANT, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023"

Finished my ballot to drop off tomorrow (VOTE BY MAIL IS THE BEST, at least as long as the US refuses to make voting easier across the board). My primary ballot is Democrat, but the packet they send includes all candidates. A number of Republican state lawmakers were disqualified from running again after walking out of too many sessions last year. It is truly disquieting how many of them are running for other (even higher) offices. November scares me for so many reasons.

Report

Some Morehouse College students & faculty walked out on Biden's commencement speech

Biden reportedly saw Morehouse College - where he gave the address - as a school where he was unlikely to face protests.

However, some students & faculty turned their backs or walked out during Biden's address.

Unlike at George Mason University where protestors interrupted him 10 times, Morehouse protestors did not disrupt his speech.

Analysis

The new McCarthyism aiming at university professors

More than 90 professors have been murdered & all universities obliterated during Israel’s genocidal assault.

Globally, academics in various fields have been targeted by pro-Israel groups - fired, suspended, or removed from the classroom for pro-Palestine, anti-Israel speech.

Friends how many times have I fought and pushed back on the far-left MAGA lies and on purpose propaganda concerning the Israel/Gaza War Too many times to count these leftist have totally destroyed all credibility they may have had if any.

PS: ) Americans are getting fed up with the BS.

Exactly so.

Their demands are not meant to be satisfied. And if they somehow were, they'd just make more demands.

The actual goal of the socialist populists on the far left is to apply purity tests for us to fail. They want an excuse not to support democracy.

I just learned that I've reached the point where I won't take blatant disparagement of political persons who are actually trying.

I welcome you to unfollow me if you cannot find your way to save democracy this year. Literal rights are on the line. Everything is here.

I fucked up by not voting sometimes in the past, not taking it seriously, believing both parties had the country's best interest at heart, for all people, how foolish, I was trying to find the perfect candidate WHO DOESN'T EXIST.

The goal now is to get to vote again (fairly) and make change for the better, everywhere.

Slam the wrong people right now and you may very well make this worse for so many people.

Globally.

Joe Biden could still turn this around and not lose to Trump by defunding Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. If he doesn’t, there will be only person to blame for Joe Biden losing to Trump in six months and that’s Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden.

Analysis

"Biden’s floating pier off Gaza is... a Potemkin Village"

The US practices theatrics while refugees starve amid rivers of shit

While the pier "isn’t completely useless, it cannot replace overland truck deliveries.

"At most it will supply 150 trucks daily, when 500 are needed.

"It is a PR band-aid on the gaping wound of.. genocidal blockage of aid."

New Florida Law Requires All Women To Produce 3 Healthy White Sons By 22nd Birthday

TALLAHASSEE, FL—Touting the legislation as a common-sense victory for family values, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a new law Thursday requiring all Florida women to produce three healthy, white sons by the date of their 22nd birthday. “The production of white daughters will not be penalized, but they will be seized by the state for the production of white sons,” said DeSantis, who clarified that regardless of the race, ethnicity, or religious background of the mother, all sons would be required to be both white and raised in a Catholic household. “Three is the bare minimum. Despite what the virtue-signaling, left-wing fanatics are espousing on CNN, this requirement is actually quite fair and attainable. Whether Florida women and girls choose to get started at age 15 or 19, they will have plenty of time to comply.” At press time, DeSantis added that a miscarriage counted as negative one white sons.
