Not shocking.... but that's some strong ingrained hatred. You can't negotiate this type of hate out of people.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. The prosecutors who brought this case work for Donald Trump and Pam Bondi. Not only should we doubt the legitimacy of the case, we should presume it is illegitimate.

The Contrarian @contrariannews.org · 21h

“The shame of Trump’s vengeance crusade is that even when prosecutors bring important cases, the public might doubt their legitimacy.” Barbara McQuade breaks down the Bolton indictment.

Don’t lump Bolton charges in with flimsy cases against Comey and James

The government will have to back up its allegations with evidence at trial, but Trump’s vengeance crusade means a lot is

Having built a system that is destructive of the environment that surrounds and sustains us, we are now proposing to change … the environment!
Driving us towards this technological fix is the damage inflicted by existing technology.
#climatecrisis #auspol www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Techno-capitalists think innovation can save the planet. But that same thinking is what got us here

An upside-down mindset is emerging around the world. We have to rethink our relationship with the environment and the technology that has caused it harm

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.
