Hope to post lots more items signposting to reliable, informed & enlightening data, essays, articles, sources etc. Working out as #Spoutible grows how to do so while still observing copyrights. Not always so straightforward, but persevering. P.S. - I make a point of reading any articles etc I post.

Doesn't it feel like we have all these laws that govern things like stealing classified intel, using campaign donations for legal fees, using the presidential seal, fomenting insurrections, and yet, oddly none of them apply to a faux rich, white con-man who has taken this country for everything?

"It is, therefore, not incidental that ten of this nation's first twelve presidents were enslavers. In fact, some might argue that this nation was founded not as a democracy but as a slavocracy."

Disgraceful that countries like #UK & #USA not only refuse to acknowledge #genocide in #Gaza or hold #Israel to account for breaking international law, but have facilitated the underlying attitude and capabilities for decades. I call it complicity. https://news.un.org/en/sto...

Justice #Barrett re. other #SCOTUS Justices in her opinion on the Colorado Supreme Court letting #Trump be barred from state presidential ballot: ‘For present purposes our differences are far less important than our unanimity’. Even differences over #democracy vs. a neo-fascist #autocracy ? [#USA]

The mere fact #Trump is in the running for the Republican party presidential nominee after attempting to overturn a free and fair election in the #USA four years ago, shows just how incredibly close to changing from a #democracy to an #autocracy the USA really is at present.

Another week ends.
Another week where SCOTUS failed America by not disposing of Trump's bullshit immunity gambit.
They are aiding and abetting Trump's ongoing conspiracy to delay and obstruct justice -- and to overthrow our Republic.
The Supreme Court needs to do its damn job.
