GOP judges are despicable: 5th Circuit grants qualified immunity to cops who, as Judge Willett points out, weren't acting in a dangerous situation in which split-second decisions had to be made but instead "spent several months plotting" to arrest a journalist they didn't like. -Lawrence Hurley.
And yet #TFG, the #J6 inciter, walks free, & is the GOP frontrunner for the presidency.
Capitol Rioters Complain Flying Is 'Huge Problem' for Them.
Some Capitol rioters believe they've faced difficulties in trying to travel by air since coming under law enforcement scrutiny. ~1,070 arrests were made of alleged Capitol rioters. Some participants have also been accused of having more violent aims. *Whitewashed & downplayed by Newsweek, that's R-leaning.
One year after Brazil's coup attempt, right-wing leaders are unified in condemning it, Bolsonarno has faded into oblivion, and the courts are aggressively pursuing the coup's organizers.
3 years after the US's coup attempt, the whole GOP supports the insurrection, its leader is their presidential nominee, and DOJ has shielded the coup's organizers from justice. And the coup's footsoldiers get sympathetic treatment from our press.
Post Office suspected of more injustices over Horizon pilot scheme
No wonder the PO and Fujitsu fought tooth and nail to suppress evidence. The pilot system trialed led to the jailing of at least two branch managers without proper investigations.

AGNOSTIC FRONT's ROGER MIRET: 'We Speak About Oppression And Overcoming Oppression, And People Can Relate To That'
"The most powerful ally of injustice is ignorance. Unfortunately, those who are ignorance’s most devout practitioners are so clueless that they perpetuate their own downfall.
In general, people think they are smarter than they really are. This is called 'illusory superiority.' Polls show that 65% of Americans believe they are smarter than the average person."
Post Office almost halves amount set aside for Horizon IT scandal compensation
‘Scandal' doesn't begin to capture the criminality. But clearly the POs management and lawyers consider that a combination of delay, obfuscation and the victims dying to have paid off.
It reminds me of the blood transfusion ‘scandal’, but with added intent on the part of the PO.
Climate and biodiversity crises stem from a growth-centric economic system, fostering inequalities, injustice, and exploitation, especially in the global majority. But what do we mean when we say, change the system, not the climate?
"This year, the extremes have been more apparent than ever. Oil firms have raked in trillions of dollars in profits that they plan to use to expand production of climate-destabilising fossil fuels despite warnings from the International Energy Agency that this will make it impossible to keep global heating to within 1.5C."
"Based on this “mortality cost” formula, Oxfam calculates that the emissions of the richest 1% in one year are enough to cause 1.3m deaths over the coming decades from excess heat and other climate impacts."
"Carbon inequality and climate injustice denial of indigenous rights
Instead of making every effort to reduce emissions, the rich increase their carbon footprint by putting more distance between themselves and the masses.

For months, #workers have been calling on the government and factory owners to raise their wages from 8,300 taka, or $75 a month, to 23,000 taka, or $205 a month.
@asiny It should be illegal for #RCMP to keep investigating itself on citizens' complaints over unlawful & criminal actions & abuses of process. We, taxpayers, pay for RCMP paycheques & on hook for their lack of genuine investigations - huge conflicts of interest.
They're the same #CorporateMercenaries that I faced with fellow activists at 2 different protection camps. Our governments have given them millions to abuse badge power & violate international laws.
About 90% of those sentenced to prison for a drug offense in Illinois are african-american. White drug users and dealers are rarely arrested, and when they are, they are treated more favorably at every stage of the criminal justice process, including plea-bargaining and sentencing. Whites are consistently more likely to avoid prison and felony charges, even when they are repeatedly caught with drugs.
Justice Department Reaches Significant Milestone in Combating Redlining Initiative After Securing Over $107 Million in Relief for Communities of Color Nationwide
Our world is burning, yet our political leaders are still playing with matches. Climate crisis, social injustice, growing inequality, and ongoing wars - it's time for real change, not just empty promises. We must act before it's too late.
If you'd like the history please start with Nakba...but you know all this well and despicably choose to defend indefensible Israeli Apartheid state atrocities.
#Privacy is in global danger by the oppression of the World's Elite having a pact with ruling politicians. This is the BIGGEST global threat yet to our freedom and free speech. Don't let yourself down.
We don't need to be China to be safe. They know it, just don't admit it.
