Only in Republican America is it illegal to give water to people waiting in line to vote, but it's OK for the president to bribe them with a promise of $5,000 to influence *how* they vote.

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In response to Mr. Trump (Trump's Easter morning message), Mizan, an outlet affiliated with Iran’s judiciary, said that “Iran’s steadfastness and resistance have driven Trump to the brink of madness.” Mizan also said he had insulted the Iranians with “vile” language.

Amazing how the media can tell you all about human rights abuses in Iran, but when the US is causing people on ventilators to die in Cuba, there is radio silence.
Apparently, human rights only matter when we need an excuse to start a war.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
