The world has never experienced #human #rights free from the egregious #abuses of the #wealthy. Just their wealth alone is abuse because they take all the #common #resources and hoard it. Every #billionaire is an abuser of society. They are not heroes. They do nothing except take. Useless garbage.

There are a few things AI does well, and a lot of things that it does badly. Learn to tell the difference. Telling the difference is one of the things that AI does badly.

if #MAGA #GOP #Republicans were doing this in #PuertoRico, trust that they had the same vote-buying scheme across all USA prisons.

as i have said before: Puerto Rico is the fascist gringolarchy’s #civilRights #humanRights #abuses and #genocide laboratory.

go look up Wikipedia for how gringos killed Don Pedro Albizu Campos, the afroboricua leader of our decolonization and independence movement.

the fascism they do there is a trial run for how they’ll do it here & elsewhere.

Protect people, not corporate bullies

The powerful always get what they want, right? Not if our governments finally start protecting people, instead of corporate bullies. A law to shield the people speaking up against injustices is ready. With your help, it can become reality - add your name now:

Catholic priests don't just sexually abuse children; they also morally abuse parents.

In this video, a single mother recounts how a Polish priest told her that her kids would become criminals because she was raising them alone.

Mais lors d’un retour en Pologne pour les Fêtes, une confession pendant la messe de minuit bouleverse ses certitudes et l’amène à remettre en question son rapport à l’Église.

…As #DOJ officials pushed back against suggestions that a #CivilRights investigation was in order in the days after Ms. Good’s death, clashes between #Minnesota residents & #immigration agents escalated. Some #prosecutors were met with resistance when they urged supervisors to open investigations into reports of #assaults & #abuses by #federal agents. The DOJ also blocked the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from taking part in investigating Good’s killing, adding to prosecutors’ frustrations.

"A lot of the 'You can't say anything anymore!' comedians are doing the festival..."
- comedian A. Okatsuka (who declined the Saudi Fest)
I won't be watching any of P$te D^vidson on Saturday Night Live. Let him go try to be funny in Saudi Arabia some more. Maybe he can write some jokes about their torture of that journalist from the Washington Post.
