@BlueWall @DemocracyMattersALot the republican party IS ORGANIZED CRIME
"Why Corrupt Bankers Avoid Jail"
Prosecution of white-collar crime is at a twenty-year low.
"With plenty of encouragement from high-end lobbyists, a new orthodoxy soon took hold that some corporations were so colossal—and so instrumental to the national economy—that even filing criminal charges against them would be "reckless."
Criminals take government to crime.

50 Democrats in Congress joined ALL of the Republicans to castrate Dodd-Frank in 2018. That led directly to today’s bank collapses.
#CitizensUnited is a cancer.
Remember when Mike Flynn told Russian stooges not to worry & Trump would end all the sanctions against Russia?
How is that any different than DeSantis telling Putin he can have Ukraine (just a "Territorial dispute?)" if DeSantis wins the WH?

Don't forget that Peter Thiel was one of the biggest Trump backers in 2016, seeks the destruction of the US government & its replacement with Silicon Valley techlords ("Sovereign Individuals"), his nightmarish dystopian surveillance state project Palantir, and keeps trying to kill the banking industry &
US sovereignty.
Who can forget his financing of JD Vance & his catering to nutbar conservatives with various startup projects, including his speedily,-failed "GloriFi" fintech effort last fall
We talk shit about China and Russia and the way those nations suppress, say, the right to assemble and the right to speech.
Meanwhile, in the US, hanging out in a forest might get you 35 years on a terrorism charge. (In a country with the highest rate of incarceration in the world, both in absolute terms, and on a per-capita basis)
So I ask you, who's living in the dystopia?

The head teacher at this school HAS to be sacked, for his response, or lack there of.
Yesterday (03/14/23), one person was killed and nine were wounded as a result of shelling of a residential building in Kramatorsk. Kostyantynivka and some regions of Donetsk region were under constant fire from MLRS/ADS/ARS. There was increased activity of tactical aviation throughout the day, with X-31P anti-radar missiles being launched in the direction of Odesa region, all of which were shot down. There was also movement of Tu-22m3s and Tu-95s within the Western region of Russia. Three times a state of emergency was declared due to the takeoff of a MiG-31K from Savasleyka airfield in the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia. Additionally, a Su-27 fighter jet of the Russian Air Force shot down a US Army MQ-9 reconnaissance UAV over the Black Sea, and the Russian Navy conducted an operation to recover the wreckage.

"Ron DeSantis knows better...he understands what's at stake in his heart of hearts in Ukraine. It doesn't defend him at all - in fact it makes what he's done more shameful."

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
