RE: https://left-tusk.com/@BlueDot/115441322963812895 @mattblaze@federate.social Every Trump #pardon is another reason to bring in the #InternationalCriminalCourt in the next administration. Because his pardons are meaningless at the Hague. #Reconstruction #AfterFascism

@kimlockhartga@beige.party Let's prosecute every single fascist leader and every single collaborator this time. Let's turn over to the ICC the ones who have immunity or pardons, or who are past the statute of limitations. 2/2 #ICC #InternationalCriminalCourt

@kimlockhartga@beige.party That's a plausible explanation. Another plausible explanation, and a simpler one, is that we failed to prosecute Hitler's accomplices, not just German but American. The Nuremburg trials were stopped early, and some convicted Nazi war criminals were released thanks to Joe McCarthy and other American right wingers. And Hitler's allies in the U.S., some of them armed seditionists, some members of Congress, were not convicted. https://www.rachelmaddow.com/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra/ 1/2

@Npars01@mstdn.social We can, in fact, prosecute American #fascists for #CrimesAgainstHumanity when the fascist regime has been deposed. We just need the next President to invite the #InternationalCriminalCourt to do it. And it won't matter if they all bought Trump pardons.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social What is stopping the judge from jailing the officials who are in contempt?

@mattblaze@federate.social The illogic of nuclear deterrence has always amazed me. We're supposed to believe our adversaries will carefully and rationally weigh costs and benefits, and realize they will be destroyed by our nuclear retaliation, and therefore they must not attack us. Our adversaries are supposed to believe we are mad enough to destroy the whole world, with ourselves and our own children in it, for revenge.

@mattblaze@federate.social Perhaps your students have already seen this piece by Bruce Schneier, easily the most entertaining article on election security I've seen. https://www.schneier.com/essays/archives/2013/02/how_secure_is_the_pa.html

@pluralistic What, no QR code?

@sleepfreeparent@kolektiva.social There are two possible outcomes in the 2024 election, and they are Biden wins or Trump wins. You know this. Cornel West knows this. Every vote taken away from Biden is a vote for Trump, and that definitely includes every vote cast for West. Liberals voting for West is precisely what Trump needs to win, and precisely what Putin wants. @lawyersgunsnmoney@mstdn.social @ravenonthill@mastodon.social

@sarahtaber@mastodon.online Probably not what you want, but I use these: https://www.johnnyseeds.com/tools-supplies/trellising-crop-supports/rollerhook/rollerhook-25-count-7047.html I had to put in an overhead wire that runs the length of the garden. Then these rolls of string clip to the wire, and the plants get trained up the string.

@Pwnallthethings@mastodon.social Russia does indeed have the power to resolve this. If they would withdraw from Ukraine and pull all their long range artillery out of range of the border and return all the deported Ukrainian children and adults and surrender all the war criminals from Putin down to the lowest private, I'm sure Ukraine would be more than willing to be "far sighted" and come to the negotiating table to discuss reparations.

@zackwhittaker@mastodon.social I wonder if someone's working on porting the app to Android.

@the5thColumnist@mstdn.ca Skepticism is justified, since we haven't seen any Democratic POTUS recognize the #ICC before. But we can, and must, demand that the post #fascist USA be made more resilient. That has to include prosecution of the #fascists and their #collaborators. #Democratic candidates for President in 2028 are going to know that getting my vote requires this. @Npars01@mstdn.social
