I hope the country survives until we can get a president and a Congress with patriots and we pursue the lawless, the callous, and their minions in the pursuit of justice.
I’m going to say it, going to want retribution. I’m going to want to see everyone that can be prosecuted put on trial.

Collective punishment is a war crime.
“International humanitarian law prohibits collective punishment of prisoners of war or other protected persons for acts committed by individuals during an armed conflict. Collective punishment is considered a war crime.” - International Committee Of The Red Cross (ICRC)
Every news article about Trump’s response to the Guard shooting should include some background on the evils of collective punishment: thedemlabs.org/2023/10/16/w...

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

Among other travesties in this statement, National Guard soldiers are not "law enforcement"
REPORTER: There are people upset with the president, believing the National Guard members shouldn't have been there

PIRRO: I don't even wanna talk about whether they should've been there. We ought to kiss the ground and thank God that the president said it's time to bring in more law enforcement

Nearly 6 million U.S. households have utility debt so severe that it will soon be reported to collection agencies.

Meanwhile, Trump is giving handouts to fossil fuel companies and making us pay hundreds of millions of dollars to keep obsolete coal plants open.

Trump serves billionaires, not us.

Universities don't exist to take orders from corporations as if we're short-order cooks, tasked with delivering up the latest labor market fodder, hot & fresh, over easy.

We educate humans to human. In the 21st century, that's a huge and complex job: there's so much to know & so much garbage info.

Universities exist--as distinct from trade schools--to teach critical thinking and skillful communication (written and oral), which in turn necessitates educating students *broadly* in subjects such as history, human behavior and culture, the arts, as well as math and science. It's a BIG job.

Universities do not exist to produce compliant worker bees--especially in an age where lots of companies think they can replace entry-level jobs with AI.

Not to mention, compliant worker bees are terrible for democracy or producing innovation; they're only good for ensuring the rich get richer.

Can we get some Wikileaks or Anonymous to release the Epstein files? Or better yet, anyone credible with a shred of decency?

I just find this whole tiktokification of political discourse so distasteful. It is literally nuanced situation whittled down to a factoid, that isn’t actually true in most situations. And what is with the glass? could just as easily been left there by my granny, it is not a metaphor for bad youthz

His plan to "fix" it is to remove benefits, not to create all the conditions necessary for better employment opportunities. Punitive instead of productive.

I hate that he's my MP. 😭😭

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Trans rights are bodily autonomy rights. They are women’s rights, gay rights, human rights. If you claim to advocate fully for any of those and you make an exception when it comes to trans people, you are a duped fool and you are only helping those who want every last one of those rights erased.
