Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.

He doesn’t even try to pretend anymore.

It is a quote from the sister of Giulia Cecchettin, an Italian woman who was murdered by her ex 3 weeks ago.

“It is often said ‘not all men.’ “They are not all men, but they are always men” (she) wrote. “No man is good if he does nothing to dismantle the society that privileges him so much. It is the responsibility of men in this patriarchal society, given their privileges and power, to educate and call out friends and colleagues as soon as they hear the slightest hint of sexist violence. Tell it to that friend who controls his girlfriend, tell it to that colleague who engages in street harassment, harass those behaviors accepted by society, which are nothing more than the prelude to femicide.”

Found it, from 1993.

The Guardian’s analysis of documents from the BlueLeaks trove of internal law enforcement documents found no indication that this was balanced by information from other Middle Eastern sources or US Muslim community groups. Nor is there any indication that pro-Israel activists were subject to any specific scrutiny.

Every day more piles of shit are discovered about cops, PDs and fed agencies yet no gov’t stands up and says “Enough!”

ACAB

Yup. I hate when people play that game expecting us to just follow them down the garden path.

We’re not stupid and it grates that they all seem to think we are.

That’s fair.

If gov’ts had focused on repairing/replacing the infrastructure the Soviets had demolished and rebuilt schools, mosques, markets, roads, etc instead of barreling in like a “great white savior” it would have been much different.

“Things are getting better and people think things are going to get worse …

Because they are worse … because many people don’t have a well-paying job as a pollster … and it’s expected that the price of groceries will still rise in 2024 … and rent will still go up … and fires/droughts/storms/heatwaves will get worse … and electricity/water bills will still go up …

It always surprises me when otherwise intelligent people seem to set aside their critical thinking skills.

Yup. Sunak is in some deep shit rn, so maybe he thinks he can garner votes by being that asshole.

Far too many world leaders seem to follow in that nazi leader’s footsteps.

True. Except Sunak is East African so I tend to give him some credit to not be a colonizer.

I could be wrong tho.

Yeah. It’s just as annoying now as it was back then, and in the aughts, the 90’s, the 80’s, the 70’s and on and on ad infinitum.

Riiiiggghhhttt.

Have at it I guess.

Maybe. Personally I’d just put it down to asshole leadership. Sunak is one of those.

In incidents like this, with rude comments about looks, it’s always men doing it tho.

And it’s always men downvoting us women who point it out.

Y’all are fragile little beasties.

“It is often said ‘not all men’. But they are always men.”

Preppers are such dumbasses.

Yup. Only one I know of who’s kind of cool is Bill. ;)

Wikipedia is informative … o.O

Altman lives in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighborhood and owns a weekend home in Napa, California. He is a prepper. Altman said in 2016: “I have guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israel Defense Forces, and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to.”

I’d say every for-profit prison should be put under a microscope to find all the shit they do.

But that will never happen 'cause it would force the states/feds to revamp everything.
