Took a #citibike to a Dr's appt and pulled over for a police siren behind me. It turned out to be a luxury Mercedes sedan with a civilian number plate -- and lights and sirens.

I looked up the plate on #HowsMyDrivingNY and found that it has **118 camera and parking violations** including 74 speeding tickets. The driver just pays the fines.

I would expect to see this in #PutinsRussia or #EricAdamsNYC. When this rich sociopath maims or kills someone, it will be no surprise.

"... From buried memories of civil war to the belief that a “lucky” ruler keeps the country safe, this video shows how authoritarian systems trap people by making the leader seem dangerous to remove, even when he is dangerous to keep."

Why Life Without Putin Terrifies Russians

NSW Police brutal suppression of #ProPalestine protests is dismantling #Australia's #RightToProtest. Have we become #HongKong, #Tiananmen, #PutinsRussia or #TrumpsAmerica? Who are our governments serving? I deplored and deplore the invasion of our first peoples, I deplore the atrocity of #Bondi. I deplore the continuous assault on #Palestinians. One atrocity does not nullify another.

1/2 "Bis Februar 2025 hat Russland fast 20.000 ukrainische Kinder deportiert oder illegal umgesiedelt. Lediglich 1223 von ihnen fanden den Weg zurück. Bis Mai 2025 galten mehr als 2700 Kinder als vermisst. Bis Ende 2024 hatten mehr als 100.000 Kinder aufgrund der Kämpfe einen oder beide Elternteile verloren. Seit Beginn der russischen Invasion wurden in der Ukraine bis Februar 2025 mehr als 12.000 Fälle sexueller Gewalt gegen Kinder in der Kampfzone registriert."

Russia isn’t even trying to hide it anymore. It’s openly trafficking Ukrainian children. On official platforms, Ukrainian orphans are displayed like products in an online marketplace. Full-face photos. Age. Eye color. Health status. Even “obedience level.” Filterable. Sortable.

Poor #donaldtrump - he’s now so scared he’s hitting out at #labour for alleged election interference, yet conveniently forgot about actual (not alleged) election interference by #ElonMusk & #PutinsRussia

Further evidence of cognitive decline ?
