This is the twilight of the Pax Americana.

When power forgets mercy,
and the world forgets how to say "No."

And now that throne is occupied by a naked man, whispered to be bound by kompromat, withdrawing aid from the most vulnerable.

The vulnerable that his empire’s selfish policies helped create:

the children of wars, coups, and sanctions

born beneath the banners of “freedom.”

The world abdicated its own leadership, crowning America out of fear, not faith. Pumping tribute into its bloated coffers to avoid a bogeyman.

For eighty years, the shadow of communism made the President of the United States the de facto Emperor of the World.

🚨 ALERT: Police Scotland is developing plans to use live facial recognition technology

Facial recognition tech:
🕵️ is mass surveillance
❌ is NOT compatible with Scotland’s human rights obligations
⚠️ disproportionately impacts racialised communities

We need to oppose this: amn.st/6008AqWA0

Police Scotland has decided move ahead with the use of Live Facial Recognition technology by law enforcement in Scotland.
Amnesty firmly opposes the use of this dangerous technology.

"You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?"

"Because that's what they are."

Growing up Heseltine was a Tory bastard, but at least he was OUR Tory bastard.

Not like the Russian assets we have today.

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

Donald Trump: “We’re going after the worst of the worst.”

ICE arrests two men at a Chicago area bakery. Workers, not criminals. And this is why they need the National Guard?
