Lmfao the comments are nothing but empty promises and vague gestures. The Right offers nothing but a place to be rageful with no options to quell it. The reason young men fall down that pipeline is because its easy. The Right tells them they're perfect, their rage is justified and anyone who tells you otherwise just hates you. There's no solutions, only infinite problems to justify said rage

We're all born left wing.
Ask any kid if homeless people should be fed and housed, if everyone deserves healthcare, if bombing families is wrong, if racism is bad, if air and water should be clean, if trees and nature are good...

Hegseth stumbling over his words is hilarious. I’m sure he practiced in the mirror for days and he still fucked it up.

Navi Pillay is a South African, Harvard-educated lawyer and human rights activist who joined the case against apartheid in 1967.
She was the first non-white woman to open her own practice there. She ran a shelter for abused women, and founded Equality Now.
They arrested and tortured her husband in retaliation for her work.
In 1995, Mandela nominated her to the UN security council judgeship, where she oversaw the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
She decided the case that made rape a war crime, stating "From time immemorial, rape has been regarded as spoils of war. Now it will be considered a war crime. We want to send out a strong signal that rape is no longer a trophy of war."
She also served on the case against Ferdinand Nahimana, which charged media organizations for their role in "spreading hate propaganda that amounted to public incitement to commit genocide."
She's worked on issues of genocide for more than 30 years, and was appointed UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in 2008.
She's currently a judge on the Rohingya genocide case (Gambia v. Myanmar).
She has single-handedly shaped international law.
It'd be difficult to find someone more worthy.

Interesting fact: the ICC has NO cases or investigations involving US citizens. But the Court has an ongoing investigation and at least 2 arrest warrants out for Israeli officials, including Benjamin Netanyahu
Marco Rubio:
Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC.
And we expect our allies, many of whom are part of the ICC, and that rely on American service members for their defense, to rein in this rogue court.
If they do not, the United States will continue its campaign to dismantle the ICC, piece by piece, until Americans are threatened no longer.

“If you don’t want to watch the execution, then don’t watch.”
Ok… let’s go with that.
Also, if you don’t support same-sex marriage, don’t have one.
If you don’t support drag shows, don’t go.
If you don’t support abortion access, don’t have one.
We can do this all day.

Ik heb wel medelijden met mensen die Hamas rentfree in hun hoofd laten wonen. Of je nou begint over het weer, een aanstaande live executie, je volgende vakantiebestemming, of de boodschappen die zo duur zijn. Het enige wat eruit komt is: JAMAARHAMAS🤡
Zoek hulp lieverds.

2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Navi Pillay’s commitment to universal legal principles and her firm moral compass are constants in a long career. Born into a family of Indian Tamil origin under apartheid in Durban, South Africa, Pillay became a lawyer and legal pioneer, confronting deep structural discrimination, segregation and exclusion. A common thread runs from her early work defending Nelson Mandela and others who stood up against apartheid to her service as a judge in some of the key international court cases of our time.
This year’s laureate has significantly enlarged the scope and impact of international law. She has served as a judge on the High Court in South Africa, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Court. She was the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and, until recently, she chaired the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Today Navi Pillay is a judge on the International Court of Justice in the case where Myanmar stands accused of genocide.
In historic international court cases, she has shown that legal measures can help prevent acts of war and violence. Navi Pillay has also contributed to strengthen the institutions of international law. Her independence, expertise and steadfastness have made her one of the most respected international jurists of our time.
