Fascism is the last stop on the colonialism train. What Otto Von Bismarck was doing in Africa, Adolf Hitler was doing in Europe and his own country. Same with the US foreign policy. What we were doing the world over with previous presidents has now come home with Trumpy.

Nice! I'm hoping you have fun!

That's extremely fair. And something with which I agree. Like I said, I wasn't agreeing with it, just pointing out that genocidaires tend to cite revenge as a casus genocidae when really? there's no excuse for genocide, not now, not ever.

Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

I feel terrible for everyone whose career is being destroyed but she is going to set speed records for running CBS into the ground, Ellison is no Murdoch

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

As will I. She is a real public servant who fights for her constituents. Trumpy only cares about himself.

Notice that Biden didn't issue a pre-emptive pardon for Comey when he was otherwise dispensing them like communion wafers.

myself and a handful of others once marched up an empty 5th Ave with Tish James on Veterans Day because De Blasio took off too early and left the parade behind. she turned an awkward snafu into a great time.

If neither one of these are your type, have no fear

They have a long list of names for their retribution and they’ve only just begun

Certainly there’s one person on their list you’d throw down for, why not start now?

When she was my city council person, I had a landlord who would periodically not heat the building for 2 days at a time, because it always took city inspectors 3 days to show up and verify there was no heat. When we complained to her, they showed up the next day.

Just because there is a ceasefire doesn't mean Gaza has been rebuilt or the Gazans live there again, let alone see the perpetrators of genocide face justice.

Backpedaling cause they know what time it is.

1. AG James is formidable. Her record shows she aint nothing to fuck with.

2. Trump had the previous prosecutor removed because they said there was no evidence to charge her with anything.

The carceral system is malicious & baseless

In Law Enforcement, there's a dictum when it comes to our legal system: "You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride."

MAGA goes along with it because they're a Jim-Jones-like cult.

Donald Trump hates anyone who is smarter than him....and there's a lot of folks who qualify.

Trump also hates women & black people.

So Trump really wants to crush James because she is a black woman who is much smarter than him. And she is competent & has legitimate accomplishments, unlike him.
