That’s not surprising. They eliminated verification and turned the algorithm into a pay-to-win system where the most annoying motherfuckers on earth get sorted to the top of every discussion. They allow people to post (genuinely) antisemetic shit, racism, and celebrate genocide every day while censoring criticism of imperialism. The owner of the site personally does this. The website still automatically flags any post which uses the word ‘cisgender.’

It is a fucking DUMP there, and pretty much all of ‘weird twitter,’ a milieu which strongly influenced this community in its infancy, is gone. Most “normal” people are gone. ALL of my favorite non-celebrity posters are gone. The only “left” remaining there for the most part are people with careers which rely on self-promotion. It is 3% journalists, politicians and streamers, and 97% rabid hogs begging for them to be deported or exterminated. There is absolutely no one on that website who I am interested in holding a conversation with. Noting to look forward to but updates on the worsening conditions of life inside and outside of the empire. Any GOOD post, which happens rarely, will be flooded with hundreds of replies from fascists, making any further conversation impossible.

The US Department of Justice is setting its sights on Wikipedia, threatening the Wikimedia Foundation’s tax-exempt status over allegations of spreading foreign propaganda.

“Wikipedia is permitting information manipulation on its platform, including the rewriting of key, historical events and biographical information of current and previous American leaders, as well as other matters implicating the national security and the interests of the United States,” [US Attorney] Martin wrote. “Masking propaganda that influences public opinion under the guise of providing informational material is antithetical to Wikimedia’s ‘educational’ mission.”

Fanatical Zionist and genocide enjoyer Bari Weiss’s rag “The Free Press” is leading the charge on reporting this, so it not difficult to imagine what the objective is here. As a relatively new story, the only article I found that isn’t part of this reactionary media blitz was in the NZ Herald: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/us-attorney-for-dc-accuses-wikipedia-of-propaganda-threatens-non-profit-status/6TCXK6CRPNFY3JBAB65JEBSM3Y/

This may amount to nothing, but watch this space.

Really, it goes back to Nixon, and Gerald Ford’s pardon. A general pardon for crimes which may or may not have happened, so don’t worry about the actual crimes which took place and don’t bother investigating what happened because as a matter of law, they’re moot. From that moment, there was impunity. Issues of consequential importance for the republic DON’T FUCKING MATTER. Death to America.

But of course, it wasn’t all the napalm he rained on Vietnam that got him impeached. It was some DNC after-hours skullduggery.

They are simply embracing a fact that the Liberals are too cowardly to even discuss. The sclerotic republic is dead, and the constitution is not worth the paper it is written on. It has been dead for a while. Blatantly violating the Bill of Rights has been a cliche for the past 25 years, but it isn’t just the Bill of Rights. Powers vested in Congress by the constitution, like the power to declare war, or the power of the purse, have been delegated to the Executive in various ways for the better part of a century. Elections have been stolen outright by the judiciary. The entire elected government is immune from public pressure.

Events like Covid and the Gaza Genocide have demonstrated there is nothing stopping them from deliberately killing millions of people. What is the point of pretending any more? It’s a waste of time.

I feel like “Destroying every institution” is giving them too much credit. These institutions were all withered carcasses to begin with. Bush v. Gore was 25 years ago. The Republicans stole a presidential election and the Democrat’s response was to LET IT HAPPEN because fighting it would be too divisive. From there we get the Global War on Terror and the Patriot Act, and that is the high water mark. Those policies were never reversed. Nobody responsible suffered personal consequences, let alone political or criminal consequences. These institutions have had the blood drained out of them for a while. They are finally being dispensed with.

Zoomed in a little bit more from the “these institutions were already dead” diatribe, there are practical implications for doing this. There is little motivation for migrants to make court appearances in municipal / state courts if the feds will just use that as a honeypot to arrest and deport them. This effectively turns them into fugitives, “justifying” their arrest and deportation at a later time. It is a policy crafted with the deliberate intent to boost “gang” behavior (creating underground networks of “justice,” patronage, and bribery) by ensuring no legal recourses are available for any dispute whatsoever.

The fact also is the idea that Francis vetted these people and made sure they were ideologically committed to his way of thinking seems a bit spurious, it is so like the rad-lib to want to have variety

As far as radlib analogies go, it is more like the post-2016 cope that our progressive liberal lord and savior, Barack Obama, was doing a trust fall into the arms of America’s institutions and that there was no long-term danger in handing the keys over to Trump.

I don’t even think it’s this. They get off on brutality. They’ll just stick with the story that he deserved it because he was a gang member. The Israelis have already demonstrated how far you can go by calling any journalist, paramedic, or child you murder a militant, against overwhelming evidence. This would be deeply shocking to the “it can’t happen here” libs, but it will not fracture the fascist political base. They enjoy it when the libs are pulling their hair out.

If they fold on Abrego Garcia, their power is checked. If they stand their ground, they solidify their power to use the vast federal “law enforcement” apparatus to arbitrarily issue death sentences without a trial. This is ultimately what they are after.
