Nothing says "We know we're guilty as hell" quite like this.....
The Trump administration is reportedly trying to strongarm the International Criminal Court (ICC) into changing its founding document to carve out an exception for President Donald Trump and his top officials ensuring that they are never prosecuted by the court for potential war crimes.
Trump Administration Reportedly Pushing ICC to Exempt Trump From War Crimes Prosecution

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Reproductive rights groups do NOT want the Quebec government to enshrine abortion rights in the province's proposed constitution. First, it's not really a constitution - it's a regular law that can be amended. And that would turn it into an anti-choice weapon to restrict abortion.

I have no doubt their network states will be bombed and invaded, or collapse from general incompetence, once the USA is no longer there to protect them. The question isn't whether the tech fascists end up dead—it's whether they take us along for the ride.
