Blatant miscarriage of justice in the USA


stevendonziger.substack.com/p/…

An independent commission of trial monitors led by war crimes prosecutor and former U.S. Ambassador Stephen Rapp observed the proceedings and concluded they fell far below minimal standards of due process, and violated various provisions of domestic and international law

My salary is "frozen" again & I can't get research funding. We laid off most of our staff. My brother lost his government job. My disabled mom's health insurance is about to go up 10x. My neighbors' houses are all for sale.

The middle class is deep underwater and this billionaire MF keeps looting.

Guess how these people become billionaires.

The entire concept of someone owning that much money is totally bonkers.

in reply to Aram Sinnreich

Just want until someone gets desperate enough that spending the rest of their life in prison as a presidential assassin would seem like a step up for them...

It's only a matter of time...

East Wing ballroom construction at the White House “will be near it but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of.” - President Trump, July 31, 2025
in reply to Steve Herman

I’m no demolition expert, but that sure looks pretty haphazard, like they intend for it all to just fall down and then say, oops, it was old anyway.
in reply to Steve Herman

If the existing building is a debris pile dumped in a nearby park and/or at the bottom of the Potomac, that technically counts as “near it but not touching it”, right?

Good morning. Starlink has now launched more than TEN THOUSAND satellites into orbit. Nearly 1400 have already been burned up in the atmosphere so far.

Here's a "lovely" image from my Kuiper Belt discovery program with dozens of satellite streaks in a 3 hour stacked exposure from CFHT. This was from 2022, when there were thousands fewer satellites... This is dumb.

(The small streaks that are similar lengths are actually asteroids!)

in reply to Prof. Sam Lawler

they keep fucking up the astro processor too. most of the stuff i get from them somehow breaks the scanning and sometimes also the download panel and then i have to go into the basement to reboot them

Always great news from META ;)

When I see news from META, I feel the same way I do when receiving a physical letter - it ain't gonna be good!

These #news were so amazing, they made me launch a DeMeta Reddit to give people a place to talk about getting rid of it:

Why do you stay on Meta platforms: leave, boycott or accept being an accomplice to growing fascism
in reply to Thierry Van Kerm

@thierry_van_kerm It's a horrible corporation, I'm personally not on it, but for this project it's the best place to reach certain groups of people, many of whom might not know the problems with it yet 🙂

Jewish journalist Noa Avishag Schnall describes how Israeli soldiers abused her:

"I was hung from the metal shackles on my wrists and ankles and beaten in the stomach, back, face, ear and skull by a group of men and women guards, one of whom sat on my neck and face, blocking my airways."

Jewish journalist Noa Avishag Schnall describes how Israeli soldiers abused her:

And Israel wonders how antisemitism could grow ever stronger.

Israel is the monstrous State Of Distilled Evil uprisen frm the depths of cesspits, ruled and assisted by filthy Ghouls from many other country's.....

in reply to Mariya Petkova

My wife lived in Israel from 1968 to 1972. It was common knowledge back then that people were abused and starved in their prisons. Why has it taken so long for the world to see what has been going on for so long?


Be as kind as possible


There are scientifically proven benefits of being kind, including:
-Decreasing pain, stress, anxiety, depression and blood pressure.
-Increasing self-esteem, optimism, energy, calmness, pleasure levels and lifespan!

It is therefore an absolute no brainer to be as kind as possible to every human being, every animal and every living thing on and in our beautiful planet.
