Genocide and slander? Now I’m truly shocked.

The family was presented with a document informing Armstrong that she had been suspended after the school got access to the privately shared message. The school alleges that Armstrong’s post was a “disparaging remark reflecting people at Tennessee Christian.” Referring to the message, the suspension document states, “The comment reflected on the institution, faculty, staff, alumni, and students in the most negative possible way.”

Not to reflect on them in a negative way, but it kinda sounds like they’re a bunch of bible-bashing assholes.

They’re setting up a situation where if you show up you’ll be arrested and send you for life imprisonment in some country you’ve never been to, but if you don’t show up they can call you a criminal and arrest you and send you for life imprisonment in some country you’ve never been to. And if any judge tries to make sure you receive the due process the constitution guarantees you, they’ll arrest and imprison the judge.

“I’ve made 200 deals.”

Donald Trump, April 25th 2025

Then people pointed out that’s more deals than there are countries, then he started whining about how no one would make a deal with him. And now I think he made one deal with the UK, which he’ll probably go back on next week.

When the USA has no more industry, education, science, healthcare or employment and its people are dying younger and younger from preventable diseases it chose not to prevent, thousands of homeless pox-ridden Americans can watch Trump’s military parade destroy the streets of Washington DC and know that America is great again, before they are rounded up and sent to the camps. But at least they’ll have food there.

Their “big beautiful bill” contains a clause stating that the courts cannot enforce any action over contempt of court, or in other words that Trump’s people can continue to ignore them and there’s nothing they can legally do. So the only enforceable law would be the whims of Trump, and all other laws would only apply when Trump wants them to.

Add that to the Supreme Court’s ruling that all of Trump’s official actions are above the law, and they’re really doing everything they can to unwind the constitution and establish him as dictator.

Obsidian’s only downside is that it’s closed source, but this is a big downside for some people.

Yes, Joplin achieves everything this proposal does and more.

I think you accidentally dropped your mic.

Canada has good universities, and you won’t end up in a concentration camp.

Yair Golan, a left-wing politician and former deputy commander of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), sparked outrage on Monday when he said: "Israel is on the way to becoming a pariah state, like South Africa was, if we don’t return to acting like a sane country.

“A sane state does not wage war against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not set itself the goal of depopulating the population,” he told Israeli public radio’s popular morning news programme.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit back, describing the comments as “blood libel”.

Fuck Netanyahu and his cynical exploitation of “antisemitism” accusations for his own murderous ends. The thing that made the blood libel libellous, and the accusation antisemitic, was that the people accused weren’t killing babies, and they were accused because they were Jews. It’s not blood libel to point out the fact that the IDF, under Netanyahu, kills children without a second thought every day.

The Department of Homeland Security said it revoked Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification because the private school’s leadership “has created an unsafe campus environment by permitting anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators to harass and physically assault individuals, including many Jewish students, and otherwise obstruct its once-venerable learning environment.”

“Many of these agitators are foreign students,” DHS said.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who ordered the revocation, said, “Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.”

We know that’s all a pack of lies. These fascists pick their enemies, then pick the lies to pursue them with.

Hyperrealist artists paint this kind of thing all the time. It’s quite possible to paint this using actual paints.

Here’s my layperson’s understanding (I’m not American either, but watch their descent into dictatorship with grim fascination):

If someone disobeys a judge’s legal orders, they can be held in contempt of court. People can be imprisoned for contempt of court or otherwise sanctioned through criminal or civil means. This bill states that a court may not use any of its funds to enforce any such sanction, so effectively it means that the court can do nothing to enforce a judge’s orders.

This is convenient for Trump and his government, who have been disobeying judges whenever they feel like it. And it effectively means Trump can enforce his will, without anyone being able to stop him or his enforcers by challenging them in court. So if Trump decides you are to be disappeared and imprisoned for life or executed, the courts can do nothing to stop it. The law of the land will effectively be made up on the fly by Donald Trump.

More specifically, to hurt and kill those they judge to be weak.

Greenland is not a full member of the EU, since a referendum in 1985. But it’s a territory of Denmark, which is a member, and citizens of Greenland are citizens of the EU. It seems complicated:

Under Biden the USA wasn’t just letting the genocide happen. It was providing the weaponry to enable it. Harris didn’t distance herself from any of Biden’s policies, so both candidates were active supporters of the genocide. That’s not to say they were equally bad. The USA would still have been better off without gloves-off fascism at home and alienating all its allies through aggressive, nonsensical and incompetent foreign and economic policy.

Knowing how Israel operates, they probably just missed.

Just to be clear, this “white genocide” in South Africa is entirely fictitious. It’s not even an exaggeration of some small trend. The rate at which white people are killed in South Africa is no higher than for other population groups.

And yet, on the basis of this racist fiction, Trump’s regime is giving “asylum” to white South Africans.
