#lynched — Public Fediverse posts

After Pam #Bondi's appalling performance in #Congressional hearings, I have seen a number of people wishing her various kinds of harm. Some I understand, others I don't.

Most obviously, #prison #rape. This is something a lot of people who should know better seem to think is an appropriate punishment for sex crimes. There are about a million reasons why this is wrong, and I'll go into them if anyone wants.

TL;DR: if you wish rape on anyone, for any reason, you are bad person. You may be a good person in other ways, but in this particular way you are scum. Either do better, or own it—just don't pretend righteousness. I'm genuinely baffled by how people I call friends don't understand this.

Nor do I want her, or any of #Trump's coterie of crooks, #assassinated or #lynched. I'm more sympathetic to those wishes, but just no. Every revolution in history has been, in every sense, a bloody mess.

What I want is for We The People, in accordance with the #Constitution and the United Staes Code, to #impeach, arrest, try, and convict every one of them for the numerous crimes of which everyone knows they're guilty, and then sentence them to prison for life without possibility of parole.

I want us to show the world that we can, legally and correctly, clean up our own mess.

And all that said ... I do hope when Bondi is led, stunned and baffled, down the concrete corridor to her final home, that just before the cell door slams shut, a guard whispers to her, "It's okay, Pam. The Dow is doing *great*!"

#LGBTQ #people in #Ghana are #underattack. Here’s #howithappened.

If someone #suspects that you, or someone you’re with, is #gay — either from your #gait, the way you #dress, or who you may be #Holdinghands with — you could be #attacked, #kidnapped or even #lynched.
