How does Russia take out 20% of the United States’ most senior military leadership without firing a shot? By turning to the same man who is responsible for the destruction dozens of bases in the Middle East, the depletion of our arsenal, and hiding it all from the American people, Petrov Hegseth.

On 5 October 1938 it was agreed by Nazi leaders that all German Jewish citizens should have their passports stamped with an identifying letter ‘J’. The marking of their passports alienated the Jewish community and constituted an important part of the campaign of persecution.

German passport page from 1939 titled Deutsches Reich Reisepass, bearing Nazi eagle-and-swastika stamps and a prominent red "J" stamped to indicate Jewish designation.

Formal 1929 studio portrait of a man dressed in hunting regalia—double-breasted coat with medals, ornate ceremonial chain and feathered hat—standing by an upholstered chair and holding white gloves. The man is Ernst Kamm and the photo is held in the archive collection of the Wiener Holocaust Library

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.

Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

Panel 3: Back to close up. LEGO Leia is now bent over, revealing her newly covered butt cheeks

Panel 4: The Blue Pervert crushes the figure in a fit of rage. He is incensed that he can no longer masturbate over a 4cm tall piece of plastic.

Big lawsuit filed by the family of Tierra Walker, who died of preeclampsia at 20 weeks pregnant after being denied abortion care. Argues Texas' abortion bans violate the state constitution's right to life and should be struck down. More soon on @autonomynews.co abortioninamerica.org/wp-content/u...

screenshot from page 60 of the complaint:
Not one of Ms. Walker’s medical providers sought to rely on the exception to Texas’s abortion bans or offered Ms. Walker’s life-saving abortion. To the extent Ms. Walker’s medical providers believed that she was never sick enough to qualify for the exception, Texas’s abortion bans, combined with the associated definitions of “abortion,” “reasonable medical judgment,” and “medical emergency,” are unconstitutionally vague in violation of the due course of law provision of Article I, Section 19 and thus unenforceable. See Paxton v. Annunciation House, Inc., 719 S.W.3d at 589.
208. In addition, to the extent Texas’s abortion bans and associated definitions were a proximate cause of Ms. Walker’s death, they violated her right to life under the Texas Constitution and are unconstitutional. Vernon’s Tex. Civ. Stats. ch. 6-1/2; Tex. Health & Safety Code §§ 170A.001-170A.007; Tex. Health & Safety Code §§ 171.201-171.212; Tex. Health & Safety Code § 245.002.
209. Finally, to the extent Texas’s statutory scheme, taken as a whole, cumulatively denied Ms. Walker her right to life without due process of law, Texas violated her right to life under the Texas Constitution

Thinkin' a bit about today @joanwestenberg.com's recent essay on ethics for the modern world. www.joanwestenberg.com/p/neo-...

15. Don't join in a punishment
because it has attracted a
crowd.
An algorithm will regularly show you a
stranger and invite you to help destroy
them. It will offer one clip, sentence, or
accusation, then encourage immediate
certainty.
Refuse the pleasure of acting as judge,
jury, and eager member of the crowd.
You probably don't know the whole story,
and the crowd certainly won't know when
to stop. Even if it's all entirely justified,
the mob doesn't need another pitchfork-
wielding, pearl-clutching, outraged
asshole.
Kierkegaard's formulation: "The crowd is
untruth." The algorithm has simply given
the crowd push notifications.
