#injustice — Public Fediverse posts

Words. Not the beginning, not a word. Long before the execution of Socrates, or the cruel murder of Hypatia, the burning of witches, plutocrats, oligarchs, military dictators and absolute monarchs were invested in the slave trade to control capital. Even after the colonial theft and abuse of indigenous people’s land, the kkk, genocides, the investment by the ultra rich in ethnic supremacy continues. All to steal rare Earth minerals, process non-renewables and use up essential resources to power their #Ai purges, terror, ecocide and war against the people.

More Injustice 3 Evidence Has Turned Up

At this point, Injustice 3 is becoming one of the worst kept secrets in the industry, as more evidence emerges that it is real and in development.

MP1ST has spotted the resume of a stunt worker they claim is known to work with Netherealm. The resume doesn’t offer heaps of details, but it does very clearly list the stun worker as providing motion capture for Injustice 3, specifically performing stunt work for Batwoman and Supergirl.

This new evidence comes hot on the super-heels of a call for people to playtest an upcoming triple-A fighting game. Good Gamer Group put up the bat-signal for high-level fighting game players to playtest a mystery fighter in Culver City, California, on September 14 and 15, 2026. However, Injustice 3 is not specifically mentioned, so this is all just speculation.

But Injustice 3 has popped up quite a few times over the last couple of years. An artist popped up listing Injustice 3 in their resume earlier this year, which was hastily take down, presumably to ensure Warner Bros. didn’t send Deadshot after them or something.

Ed Boon himself revealed that Injustice 2 has managed to sell 9 million copies, so there’s an audience there who want to punch Superman in the face.

At this point, the question really isn’t whether Injustice 3 exists, but when it will be revealed to the world. According to Ed Boon, they already knew what their next game after Mortal Kombat 1 would be back in 2021. If the team follows their usual release schedule, their next game should be due out around 2026-2027.

--<--
Le gouvernement Lecornu s’est engagé dans la voie qui a fait chuter ses prédécesseurs Barnier et Bayrou et qui l’a déjà fait trébucher une première fois en octobre 2025 : faire passer en force un budget antisocial visant à dépouiller les retraités de 6 milliards d’euros.

Pour réaliser ce hold-up le ministre Lecornu avance dans le PLFSS un dispositif de désindexation des retraites de base : gel des pensions au-dessus de 2 034 euros et sous-indexation entre 1 260 et 2 034 euros, avec un coefficient (inférieur à l’indice d’inflation) fixé par décret par le gouvernement.

Cela ne lui suffit pas, pour étrangler les boomers, ces privilégiés, ces nantis, il sera donc aussi à l’ordre du jour du gouvernement de s’attaquer à l’abattement fiscal de 10% qui, depuis 1977, n’a rien à voir avec la couverture des frais professionnels selon l’idée que les médias de Bolloré et d’autres s’échinent à diffuser, mais vise à compenser la chute de revenus que génèrent le passage à la retraite et les effets de l’inflation des chocs pétroliers des années soixante-dix (9,4% en 1977).

Ma ChRoNiQuE | Le journal d’un prisonnier -Nicolas Sarkozy

Auteur : Nicolas Sarkozy

Éditions : Fayard

Pages : 216 pages

Prix : 20,90€

Dates de sortie : 10 Décembre 2025

Public : Adult

Amazon : Le journal d’un prisonnier

« Petit Résumé »

« En prison, il n’y a rien à voir, rien à faire. J’oublie le silence qui n’existe pas à la Santé où il y a beaucoup à entendre. Le bruit y est hélas constant. À l’image du désert, la vie intérieure se fortifie en prison. »

« Mon avis »

Avant même de parler politique, je préfère préciser une chose : je ne fais pas de politique. Ce n’est pas ce qui m’intéresse dans cette lecture.

Ce que j’aime avant tout, ce sont les mots, la culture, les réflexions qu’un livre peut transmettre… et honnêtement, il faut reconnaître une chose à Nicolas Sarkozy : il sait parler.

Malheureusement, mon application de lecture a complètement buggué et j’ai perdu toutes les phrases que j’avais surlignées… ce qui me frustre énormément, parce qu’il y avait beaucoup de passages que j’avais réellement envie de garder et de vous partager.

Mais justement, si j’ai pris le temps de souligner autant de citations, c’est bien que cette lecture m’a marquée d’une certaine manière.

Dans ce livre, il parle de l’injustice qu’il estime avoir vécue, mais aussi de la prison en elle-même : la difficulté d’adaptation, l’envers du décor, le quotidien carcéral, le personnel pénitentiaire, et surtout ce retour brutal à une autre réalité.

Au-delà de l’image publique, on découvre aussi un homme qui parle de sa famille, de ses proches, et de la force que l’amour peut apporter dans des moments particulièrement difficiles.

Et c’est probablement ce qui m’a le plus intéressée dans cette lecture : cette part plus humaine, plus intime, loin des simples débats politiques.

Honnêtement, j’ai énormément apprécié cette lecture. Je ne m’attendais absolument pas à aimer autant.

J’avais une certaine appréhension avant de commencer, notamment par peur d’une lecture compliquée, avec un vocabulaire trop lourd ou trop politique… mais pas du tout.

C’est limpide, bien écrit, posé.
La lecture se fait naturellement, avec fluidité, sans chercher à en faire trop. Et c’est justement ce qui la rend aussi accessible et agréable à découvrir.

Je n’ai jamais douté de sa culture ni de son amour des mots, déjà à l’époque où il était beaucoup plus médiatisé. Mais ici, il ne fait que confirmer l’image que je pouvais avoir de son tempérament et de sa manière de réfléchir.

Je ne connais évidemment pas l’homme personnellement, mais il dégage quelque chose de profondément charismatique dans cette lecture. Et surtout, au fil des pages, on ressent davantage l’homme avant le politicien.

Ce que j’ai particulièrement apprécié, c’est que l’on ne découvre pas uniquement son quotidien en détention. On découvre aussi ses réflexions, son regard sur ce qu’il traverse, sa manière d’analyser les événements et de s’accrocher à ce qui compte vraiment pour lui. Derrière le personnage public, il y a des doutes, des émotions, des souvenirs et une profonde attache à ses proches.

Au final, j’ai refermé ce livre avec le même sentiment que celui qui m’a accompagnée tout au long de ma lecture : celui d’avoir découvert un témoignage humain avant tout. Que l’on partage ou non ses opinions, ce n’est pas ce qui a guidé mon intérêt ici. J’y ai trouvé une plume cultivée, une réflexion sincère et un récit qui m’a bien plus captivée que je ne l’aurais imaginé.

Une lecture humaine, réfléchie et étonnamment accessible, qui m’a bien plus marquée que ce à quoi je m’attendais.

« Mes Extraits »

On apprend ici qu’on peut tout vous enlever, sauf la façon dont vous vous tenez. La dignité est la dernière des richesses que je peux garder.

Le cerveau est équipé pour que l’être humain perçoive et anticipe la menace qui l’entoure. Nous sommes toujours inquiets à propos du futur. Ce qui est la meilleure façon de se gâcher le présent.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

Men are not superior by reason of the accidents of race or color. They are superior who have the best heart — the best brain. Superiority is born of honesty, of virtue, of charity, and above all, of the love of liberty. The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Speech (1883-10-22), “Liberty,” Address on the Civil Rights Act, Lincoln Hall, Washington, D. C.

#VictoriaAustralia’s draconian new #AntiProtest laws will have a chilling effect on #FreeSpeech — and won’t keep anyone safe

Far-reaching anti-protest measures and giving police more repressive powers only serve to increase the risk of escalating violence.

by Sarah Schwartz, Jul 9, 2025

"In response to the weekend’s attack on the East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation, Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has announced she will forge ahead with new anti-protest measures and more #police powers.

"In doing so, she is following what has become the new normal for state governments across the country: using acts of racism and violence as a pretext to #ClampDown on unrelated democratic rights.

"Taking to the streets in peaceful protest is one of the main ways for people to come together and express our political views when our representatives aren’t listening to us. But this right is not without limits. Every person has a right to worship in safety. The attack on East Melbourne Synagogue was not a protest; it was an act of antisemitism. The suspect has been apprehended and charged with a multitude of criminal offences.

"Two other incidents over the weekend, the targeting of a business with ties to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — a US-backed #Israeli organisation linked to the massacres of unarmed #Palestinians seeking aid — and a weapons company with links to the Israeli military, are also being referred to as justifying new laws. It is important not to conflate these actions against Israel with an attack against a Jewish place of worship. International human rights law, as well as our current laws, already place limits on protests that involve intimidation and violence.

"So what is actually being proposed in response? The Allan government is suggesting the creation of a new criminal offence for wearing a #FaceCovering at peaceful protests, banning 'dangerous attachment devices' (e.g. a #chain, a #BikeLock) — which have long been used in non-violent civil disobedience — and #criminalising peaceful protests around places of religious worship.

"The ban on face coverings would be a first in #Australia. It would mirror measures used in #authoritarian states that force people to submit themselves to various forms of #StateSurveillance.

"#VictoriaPolice has been using facial recognition software for years without any regulatory or legislative framework to prevent breaches of privacy. This technology, combined with a ban on face coverings at protests, would essentially amount to an obligation on behalf of individuals to submit to surveillance by the state, corporations and other groups that surveil protesters.

"Unless you’re a #MiningCompany spending hundreds of millions buying politicians’ favour or can wine and dine decision-makers, peaceful protest is one of the main ways for people to hold governments and corporations to account. Protests for the eight-hour workday, #WomensRights, #FirstNationsRights and the #AntiWar movement have led to significant improvements in all of our lives.
Know something?

"Many people attending protests wear face coverings to protect their privacy and anonymity. For temporary migrants, the consequences of identification can include visa cancellation and detention. #FarRight groups, abusers of gender-based violence and other political groups have all been documented as engaging in doxing, surveillance and retaliatory violence against people identified at peaceful protests.

"Even with exemptions, a ban would mean that people who wear facemasks for reasons of health, disability status, or religious or cultural reasons would be at risk of police targeting and made to justify their use of a face mask.

"Adding new repressive police powers against peaceful protesters only serves to increase the risk of escalating violence at already heightened public demonstrations. People will not stop taking to the streets on issues they care about, even if the state tries to stifle their voices. Donald #Trump’s deployment of the #NationalGuard in response to protests in LA shows us how deploying more state force at protests increases rather than decreases the risk of violence.

"A ban on protests outside or within a certain proximity to places of worship would mean police could arrest those engaging in peaceful protests for a genuine, non-discriminatory purpose — for example, protests by survivors of #ClergySexualAbuse or by congregants against the political activities of their own religious institutions.

"It would also have the unintended consequence of rendering large areas of the state no-go zones for peaceful protest, due to the high number of places of worship. Similar laws in #NSW are already being challenged for their #unconstitutionality.

"Taken together, this suite of laws, which would provide police with extraordinary powers against people peacefully raising their voices against #injustice, would have a chilling effect, deterring #MarginalisedGroups from attending protests and exercising their rights to freedom of expression, which the Victorian government has sought to protect.

"Ultimately, banning face coverings at peaceful protests and banning protests outside places of worship would not have done anything to prevent what occurred over the weekend. Premier Allan knows this. Yet she is stuck in the same reactive law-and-order merry-go-round that saw NSW Premier Chris Minns enact fear-based, repressive anti-protest measures in response to what we now know was an opportunistic criminal conspiracy.

"Encouraging people to express their political views peacefully is the antidote to non-peaceful forms of protest and is something that all governments should be encouraging and facilitating. At times like this, we should be able to trust our politicians not to fuel division and panic through misguided and knee-jerk responses, but to take measures to address the root causes of racism and hatred."
