It's bad enough that MAGA thugs are bum rushing us to a Trump dictatorship and, you know, trying to eradicate people like me by stoking fear with the uninformed.

But do they have to be such whiny bitches about it all?

Bro, are your white christian privelges and spray-tan Jesus really that fragile? Are your feelings so hurt that all you care about is revenge?

This grievance shit is getting old and I'm tired of it. Let's vote so hard that these fuckers will truly have something to cry about.

While many reputable companies have pulled out of Russia long ago, American language learning company Duolingo has continued its business in Russia, reveals TASS.

In April, the company was told to censor its app, so Russians can no longer see ANY reference to the existence of persons, and instead of ending its business in Russia, the company chose to help the dystopian regime and comply, writes Latvian-based newsmedia Meduza.

Erasing a culture… for rubles.

Groundwater is heating up, threatening life below and above the surface.

Under your feet lies the world’s biggest reservoir. Groundwater makes up a whopping 97% of all usable freshwater. Where is it? In the voids between grains and cracks within rocks. We see it when it rises to the surface in springs, in caves, or when we pump it up for use.

"So successful has white supremacist patriarchy been at convincing white women especially that they’re lucky to live in the U.S. and not Saudi Arabia or Iran, that so many white women did not pay enough attention to the theocracy that white supremacy was building right here at home. It was being built by white men who look like their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons, not the scary brown Muslim men with beards, right?"

Analysis

Original definition of genocide

"Israel’s actions likely met Lemkin’s original definition long before the war on Gaza. Starting in 1947, roughly 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled by Israel & barred from returning."

Lemkin wrote about how his original definition of genocide had been undermined in its codification:

"They want non­enforceable laws with many loopholes in them, so that they can manage life like currency in a bank.”

The Biden Administration has weaponized the DOJ so much that jury selection in Hunter Biden's trial starts today & Sen. Bob Menendez is currently on trial and Rep. Henry Cuellar has been indicted.

Wow, they are bad at this.

My credit score went down when I paid off my car.

My credit score went down when I paid off my student loans.

The system punishes you for not owing money.

They want you to be in debt constantly.

Credit reporting agencies told me: "You should get more loans to increase your credit score."

Credit scoring is one of the biggest scams.

Interview

with Ken Roth on Israel’s Secret War Targeting the ICC to Derail War Crimes Charges

“This Is a Crime”: Israel's 9-yr campaign to intimidate the ICC

The revelations also undermine U.S. claims that Israel can hold itself accountable.

“There is no good-faith Israeli investigation. There is a concerted, high-level effort to undermine justice to protect Netanyahu, Gallant & others from war crime charges.”

It has come to my attention that Iran’s supreme ruler Ayatollah Khamenei has written an open letter to American college students commending their anti-war, pro-Palestine protests. The gall of the man…trying to score points with his virtue signaling. Modern day is the WORST kind of - run by pious, self-righteous ultra conservative mullahs. The fact the state has a “morality police” tells you all you need to know. This is the country that murders young girls for not having their hair properly covered, after beating them. The country that sentences rappers to death for speaking truth to power. What a sorry state the once great has become. Thanks to Yashar Ali for alerting me to this matter. I highly recommend his newsletter.
