This is why I believe that building up community spaces is truly the way forward.

Mutual aid is the foundation of society, but we Americans have let that part of our culture deteriorate and instead promoted the “self-made individual” as the heroic ideal.

Although it doesn’t seem vital, promoting pro-social spaces is critical to getting people to engage with their community and expand the “tribe” to include more degrees of separation.

The Infowars host had argued that a judge was wrong to find him liable for defamation and infliction of emotional distress without holding a trial on the merits of allegations lodged by relatives of victims of the shooting, which killed 20 first graders and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut.

Alex Jones and his lawyers were repeatedly warned that if they did not participate they would receive a default judgement.

From a contemporary article:

Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis cited the defendants’ “willful noncompliance” with the discovery process as the reasoning behind the ruling. Bellis noted that defendants failed to turned over financial and analytics data that were requested multiple times by the Sandy Hook family plaintiffs.

It was so much fun fucking around, Alex, but the time has come to find out.

Trump on Maxwell: “I wish her well.”

Interesting that this is the only occasion where this blowhard shitheel doesn’t pretend to know everything about the subject.

Ray refused to participate in this plan, believing it would be inappropriate and highly unusual for a white-collar defendant like Comey, according to the source. He was then suspended for insubordination.

So it’s fine to parade a person around after an arrest for political reasons so long as they’re a lower-class peasant.

Even when the FBI does the right thing they do it for the wrong reasons.

86 percent of the white supremacy party still loves the white supremacist in chief. Gross.

An Arizona Republican lawmaker on Wednesday called for the execution of a Democratic congresswoman because she urged people upset with President Donald Trump to protest in the streets.

The post Gillette responded to claimed that Jayapal was making a call to violence because she said protesters should be “strike ready” and “street ready.” The Arizona Mirror watched the video in its entirety and found no calls to violence or advocating for overthrowing the government; it was focused on “non-violent resistance” to Trump and advising people on how to do that.

In contrast, Gillette has expressed support for the Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, who violently assaulted police officers and broke down doors and windows in order to access the building so they could stop Congress from certifying the 2020 election. In several posts on X, he called the 1,600 or so people who were prosecuted — and since pardoned by Trump — for their actions that day “political prisoners.”

He refused to answer questions when the Mirror reached him by phone on Thursday.

Coward.

Well, he’s had a little stroke so I guess he does too.

Oh, I know why!

It’s because neoliberalism is an ideology of the right, so they’d rather lose to someone on their right than work with someone to their left.

He’s far more concerned with protecting privilege than helping those without.

Imagine donating money to a billionaire’s propaganda machine. What a bunch of dumbass rubes.

Yeah, he’s definitely going to try and minimize his strokes this weekend.

Exactly what I’d expect from the billionaire leech class.

I wonder what he thinks about a thirty-eight year old man dating a seventeen year old? Oh wait we know already.

Dude’s been fuckin’ gross for years, nobody should take moral advice from this pedo.

John Roberts stood in front of the firing squad.

His voice had a slight quaver. “Dammit, I don’t like it, but the president has every right to order my death— it’s the only way to have a true unitary executive.”

And to the staccato of gunfire Roberts died with a serene smile on his face; he knew that he did his duty to the end.

AI you say? Here’s 69 million dollars. Make it happen!

Isn’t this the guy who could have whipped up support to convict Trump of his impeachment, therefore barring him from running again?

Mitch McConnell can get bent. He did this.

Oh, wild. I expected them to put the investigation of Trump’s molesting teenagers above any party power-plays. Nobody could have predicted that they’d protect a rapist just because he does everything they’ve been wanting to do for fifty years.

He knows what signals he’s sending.

Well that was a poor choice of words, but the point stands.

Christian Nationalism: for when being a massive, fragile, quivering vampire asshole is your whole personality.

Doesn’t seem that way to me.

Why would he really go to the cops instead of lying and saying he did if he wanted to drug them?

Sounds like he had some beef with the DQ and wanted to make trouble for them.

Very excited for this one. Even if it’s just a bog-standard Ken Levine game, those are always fun.

It’s interesting how she thinks her rights will survive a Christian Nationalist regime.

Fascists are so driven by hatred of others and the quest for power that they can’t conceive of their weapons being turned on themselves, as they inevitably will be.
