Cops will force family and friends of people who go missing to wait 48hrs or more before taking action—knowing full-well the data establishing the first 48hrs as vital to the successful recovery of missing persons. It’s almost like they don’t want to find our friends and family when they go missing.

When assault weapons were banned in ‘94, mass shootings plummeted.
Republicans refused to renew the ban in 2004 and mass shootings immediately skyrocketed.
It’s the guns. Human life is more important than any “right” to weapons of war.
Republicans are the only human beings who simply do NOT care.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

Prosecutors have a constitutional and ethical obligation to turn over evidence that would support a person’s claim of innocence to their attorney.
Too often, they fail to do so even when life and death are at stake.

Now that SCOTUS has given gerrymandering unlimited course, keep your eye out for a new confederacy: red states squelching democratic representation. Will blue states answer in kind?

US Congress voted 285–98 to condemn "socialism." 88 Democrats joined Republicans, including Hakeem Jeffries.
What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E

It has always been this - there is no intention to change the system. The massive build up of arms, the cruel and inhumane detention of refugees, the steady rise in xenophobia, even the genocide in Gaza - all of it is meant to normalise crushing force, crushing dissent, to preserve the status quo.
You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Guest: Trump found a way to actually make MBS look better than him. It was an astounding moment. We had the American president defending the murder of an American journalist. It really made us look small. It made the United States look like a wingman to Saudi Arabia.

FruMp embraces the treasonous. He neither understands nor would give a shit if he did…”things happen.” Yes, they do. They do happen. Let’s embrace illegality and violations of humanity as “things happen.”
1. Trump suggests that Jamal Khashoggi may have deserved to be assassinated or at least should not be a sympathetic figure, and then says that the Saudi Crown Prince was unaware in advance of the assassination plot.
Trump’s own intel agencies concluded that MBS was aware in advance of the plot.

Saudi sent 15 hijackers on 9/11
Saudi CP rubbing at his bloody paws discussing the murder of Jamal Khashoggi like Lady MacBeth in the Oval Office
More than a dozen Epstein victims demand the files Trump refuses to release.
