The only places other than social media I am seeing the Putin news are tabloids like The NY Post, The Daily Mail and The Sun so like…. I really don’t know if it is real?????

I also went hunting for better sources, because woah that’s a claim. The Guardian goes with the much more straightforward headline “Russian MPs consider lifetime immunity for former presidents,”  which is really the only actual thing that there is to report on here. The article (not paywalled, fyi) notes this is the second bill proposed this week related to special immunity for ex-presidents, a category that currently includes Vladimir Putin, Dmitri Medvedev, and nobody else, since Boris Yeltsin died in 2007. The bill would need to pass in both the lower and upper houses of parliament before being signed into law. Putin has not indicated that he plans to resign or retire; currently, he could remain in office until 2036, when he will be 84. 

Maybe he’s just getting a head start on planning for his post-presidential career, perhaps inspired by the example of a fellow autocrat in another country who is possibly about to  discover that he wishes very much that former presidents had lifetime immunity from prosecution for all their crimes. Maybe he’s planning to step down. Maybe Medvedev has a bunch of parking tickets and asked Putin to help him out. (Note: unlikely.) Regardless, this is a great week to propose legislation that may be controversial or otherwise drive rampant speculation, since it’s virtually guaranteed no one really has the bandwidth to investigate right now.

A collection of things that happened tonight

[afloweroutofstone]

Brett I’m sorry but treating the atomic bombing of Japan as some unique crime is the first step in historical revisionism. The Axis Powers sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind.

No, treating the atomic bombing of Japan as though it weren’t a unique crime is the first step in historical revisionism, one that the popular American conception of history first took decades ago. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the only nuclear attacks in world history, and they were against civilian targets. A weapon capable of the instant destruction of tens of thousands of lives followed by decades of suffering and death for tens of thousands more survivors, was used against unarmed people under the rule of an enemy already on the edge of surrender, just to prove a point, not only to them, but to our temporary Soviet allies as well. 

This isn’t a secret to the rest of the world. In my experience, the delusion that the bombings can be hand-waved away is nearly exclusive to America. That the US decided to use the most powerful weapon ever to be utilized in the history of the planet against innocents, when a victory was already assured, and when even a detonation over unoccupied Japanese land would have terrified the Japanese government into the same unconditional surrender that we received, was a crime against humanity.

To acknowledge this is not to somehow mystically erase the massive war crimes of Imperial Japan. That’s not how this works.

If your ADHD is causing you to fuck up more, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the ADHD is getting worse.. you could just be doing more things which gives you more opportunity to fuck up.

This is one of the reasons, ADHD can get ‘worse’ as an adult. A child has very few responsibilities. An adult on the other hand, has all kinds of opportunities to fuck up on. 

[redshiftsinger]

Goes for other disabilities too. Sometimes it seems like it’s “getting worse” when what’s really happening is that circumstances have changed in a way that makes the symptoms more obvious and detrimental.

If ever there was a paragraph that described Canadian-Brand Racist Jackassetry, THIS IS VERY IT.

[yournewfriendshouse]

‘When you believe niceness disproves the presence of racism, it’s easy to start believing bigotry is rare, and that the label racist should be applied only to mean-spirited, intentional acts of discrimination. The problem with this framework–besides being a gross misunderstanding of how racism operates in systems and structures enabled by nice people–is that it obligates me to be nice in return, rather than truthful. I am expected to come closer to racists. Be nicer to them. Coddle them.’

It’s so good to see this articulated!

This is a long post but this is important especially if you live somewhere where fireworks have been going off every night all of a sudden for weeks now.

if you been following this blog of mine for a while you know i’m NOT into conspiracy theories BUT this shit is fucking fishy as hell. this is NOT fucking normal and i truly believe this is a part of how police fight back against calls to defund and/or disband them. i’ve said for a while now (mostly on twitter) that ppl who want to abolish the police (i am one of them) need to get ready for war cause cops will fight us to the point of killing us to maintain their power. i absolutely believe they are believe this sudden and constant stream of fireworks happening across the country targeted in areas where there were massive marches calling to defund the police. this would be very easy to coordinate given all the communication tools we have today (whatapp, fb messenger, ig direct message, skype and etc) and like the last tweeter stated, given all the crap we know the police be involved in, giving away fireworks ain’t shit BUT if raises the number of complaints they don’t respond to, they can use that to make themselves look good. i mean check it…

that’s a hell of a fucking jump (for all the ppl who want to claim this is normal (stfu)) and they are not responding to those calls. why? they are behind it and then they can use this to say “see, y’all need us. don’t defund us.” 

i won’t repeat what’s already in the tweets but yea, i am 100% this is warfare by the police against calls to hold them accountable and to defund them BUT we can’t back down. the mere fact they are doing this proves they are scared and we are right. 

fuck the police!

EVERY WORD HERE  👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 IS TRUE. YOU ARE THAT FROG. 

I too have no space to worry about USA, already very worried about Poland and Ecuador, thank goodness Canada is still somehow holding up, but I’m horrified how far you let it go. FIX IT NOW or you’ll be sorry  - truer words were never spoken.

Beware of requests for compromise when you are asking for justice and the other side is asking for consent to continue.

[commiekinkshamer]

basically emotional manipulation and guilt tripping as social justice praxis is pointless and not sustainable imo. it doesn’t promote real growth or solidarity if the entire basis of your activism is stemming from guilt or fear
