Concentration camp guards can be prosecuted for crimes against humanity, and "I was just following orders" isn't a valid defense.

As I have said many, many times before, Donald Trump wants to rule America like Atlanta is being ruled right now.
Cop City is the canary in the coal mine.
A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”
Screaming
Good. Hopefully the number will grow.
They literally don't believe in the First Amendment. This is an administration that has made clear their intent to criminalize beliefs.
The Maryland Democratic House majority leader says that he is well aware of the risks of federal retaliation for the state’s efforts to restrict local collaboration with ICE. “But nevertheless, we’ve got to do the right thing,” he says.
Important to point out that the impunity with which Israel carried out a genocide for the last 2+ years has set the recent precedent for the US-Israeli massacre of Iranian civilians today.
This is real leadership. We need a lot more of this, everywhere.
NEWS: The D.C. Council unanimously passed two bills aimed at shedding more light on federal agents patrolling in D.C.
One would release more body-camera footage from local police when federal agents use deadly force. Another would collect names of federal agents.

Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE.
Literally, "abolishing."

Imagine someone bombing Minnesota because of anti-ICE protests in order to “liberate” them. That’s basically what he’s saying here.
It's yet another example of the constant lowering of the ethical/political bar that some are thinking of Anthropic as "good guys" solely because they don't want their tech used to kill/spy on US citizens. They still run a planet-killing plagiarism machine.
As they've been doing for the last two and a half years at least.
"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"
Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.
meanwhile, war rages on at home.
When parody is our reality
Our baby has been alive for two deadly, illegal campaigns by the U.S. to remove a foreign leader. She’s 7 weeks old.
My Twitter timeline is full full full of posts in Farsi from people in Iran letting the world know that if they die, they stood against both the Islamic Republic and this war. My heart is breaking.
I am so fucking normie coded, but anytime I suggest on here that people do things that are not illegal, not violent, simply IMPOLITE, the PUSH BACK is unhinged.
IDK what to tell you.
My ancestors didn't earn their freedom by being polite.
So don’t overthrow governments for oil companies, folks. The harms may reverberate for decades.
Watching this while holding my sleeping kid, well aware of the fact that it’s sheer luck that made my parents immigrate at just the right time so that we’d be on the sending end of the bombs and not the receiving end.
How do people defend this? How?
What if the US and UK had let Mohammed Mossadegh do his thing as the elected Prime Minister of Iran in 1953? Imagine the amount of bloodshed that might have been avoided.
But then again, British Petroleum didn’t want to sit idly by and let a country nationalize its oil reserves. The horror.
Note that non-American civilians aren't mentioned, implying that their lives aren't worth protecting. American exceptionalism is an exceptionally flawed value system.
The US political system effectively allows a small group of ideological extremists to make sweeping,far-reaching decisions based on intentionally falsified information, with no real recourse for people to stop these decisions from going into effect.
The public and commentators need to stop thinking about "wars for oil" as about securing oil for the U.S., it's been decades since that was a motivator. "Wars for oil" are instead about securing oil for oil companies, securing a fossil fueled global economy, and denying oil's wealth to "enemies."
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
A lot of us despise the Trump regime, Per, doesn’t mean I want the elementary school in my town vaporized.
Critically important observation for understanding how the US national security state is weaponized against people at home, and why resisting US imperialism is not only the moral thing to do, but also in the self-interest of most people in the US.
