English proficiency mandatory for commercial driver's licenses, he says—while butchering the word proficiency. Rules for thee, but not for me. The lack of self-awareness is stunning. #hypocrisy #MAGA #civicfail #democracy

A quotation from Frederick Douglass Americans! your republican politics, not less than your republican religion, are flagrantly inconsistent. You boast of your love of liberty, your superior civilization, and your pure Christianity, while the whole political power of the nation (as embodied in the two great political parties), is solemnly pledged to support and perpetuate the enslavement of three millions of your countrymen. You hurl your anathemas at the crowned headed tyrants of Russia and Austria, and pride yourselves on your Democratic institutions, while you yourselves consent to be the mere tools and body-guards of the tyrants of Virginia and Carolina. Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer Speech (1852-07-05), “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Corinthian Hall, Rochester, New York More about this quote: wist.info/douglass-frederick/8… #quote #quotes #quotation #qotd #frederickdouglass #America #enslavement #hypocrisy #pretension #slavery #systemicracism #tyranny

#Europe is so obsessed with the discussion of the #Ceuta incident, not because it was a proper crisis which demanded a better political response than the one it got; rather, because it has stripped the #EU of its perennial mask of #hypocrisy, openly exposing all of its ugly, racist face. And they're aware of that. If this was mainland #Spain we were talking about, maybe the panic would've been... maybe not justified, but perhaps expectable to a degree. But the events took place in #Africa, where the spaniards happen to keep a colony in the midst of what should be the moroccans own land. And there the moroccans drowned, and were expelled, as if they were a plague roaming the house instead of legitimate owners of the land. That the entire world had seen this development on their TV screens, is what makes europeans uncomfortable. Not the handling of the crisis. But the fact that the mainstream was exposed, in front of the world, as being in no way different to the radical right.

Greece, Italy, France, UK and Canada are all signatories of the Rome Statue, but they all allowed the wanted war criminal Netanyahu to fly over their airspace. #hypocrisy #Netanyahu #greece #italy #france #uk #canada #warcrime via @faab64@todon.eu

#US District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington raised the question Wednesday in an ongoing lawsuit against #Trump’s ban on #transgender troops. Reyes noted that Trump’s ban says “the Armed Forces must adhere to high mental & physical health standards...without the benefit of routine medical treatment or special provisions.” #law #military #Trump #Hegseth #hypocrisy #ToxicMasculinity

Reyes ordered both parties in the lawsuit to address “the similarities & differences in administering TRT, both medically & logistically, for #trans men compared to other service members, including cis individuals.” She was using the acronym for #testosterone replacement therapy. #law #military #Trump #Hegseth #hypocrisy #ToxicMasculinity

@fiore@brain.worm.pink and yet i still beat that pussy up #hypocrisy

"Satisfying but, ineffective" Describes the Canadian tendency to take what we consider to be the moral high road. Doesn't matter if it makes a real-world difference, we are doing the right thing - environmentalism. It doesn't matter that our main international trade partner attacks people on the high seas, threatens independent nations militarily, because we abhor the communist regime of China and restrict our trade accordingly. We don't want to appear anti-Semite so we ignore the national disgrace that is happening in Gaza, but we support Ukraine against Putin. #hypocrisy #canada

This will be the two child benefit cap that he fought tooth and nail to retain and condemned the Scottish government for mitigating? Oh an suspended the whip for Laboiur MPs who voted against retaining it. That one? #Starmer #Hypocrisy #Labour #UKPol

Physicians for Human Rights (PHRI) warned that Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, is facing an immediate risk to his life, following a visit by his lawyer Nasser Odeh at the underground interrogation section “Rakevet” inside Nitzan Prison. According to the lawyer’s testimony, Dr. Hossam appeared with his hands and feet shackled, suffering from recent injuries and bruises on his head, face, and neck. He was also experiencing difficulty breathing and speaking, and a severe state of exhaustion that caused him to nearly lose consciousness more than once. It was also confirmed that he is subjected to daily assaults, has lost consciousness several times, and has not received the necessary medical treatment. Dr. Hossam told his lawyer: “This is the last time you will see me… They brought me here to kill me. I do not see myself alive. This is the end.” That freaking Nazi loving Russian Navalni received the entire western world when he was captured by Putin, but no one, absolutely no one cares for Dr. Abu Safiya. This is so depressing. Even worse, most western countries criminalize opposition to genocide and regime of Israel. #FreeDrAbuSafiya #Torture #Gaza #Genocide #Israel #Palestine #Hypocrisy #Complicity

We are nowhere near angry enough. French oil and gas major TotalEnergies, one of the main culprits behind deadly heatwaves, is now giving people “easy tips” on how to cope with the crisis it helped create. In what world do arsonists pretend they are helping put fires out? #totalenergies #heatwave #heat #climatecrisis #hypocrisy #greenwashing #fossilfuels #climatechange

Killing tens of thousands of Palestinian kids is ok, so is waging illegal was on 3 countries and invading Syria and Lebanon... but DON'T YOU DARE buy Russian grain. #Hypocrisy #Israel #Russia #Ukraine #Sanctions #EUpol

French President: We are bringing together 49 countries to reopen Hormuz, I think it is better when we involve everyone The bastard couldn't even stop selling weapons to Israel to stop the genocide, but now is the front for a 49 nations crusade to open the strait of Hormuz. I'm sure it will be successful. Just look how great it's going for US right now. #France #Hypocrisy #Macron #HormuzStrait #StraitOfHurmoz

Same words as Putin. US said it 20 years. "Destroyed in 2025" was a lie. Blood on your hands. #Hypocrisy #Truth

"Instead of insisting that markets sort themselves out, the province authorizes borrowing, investing, lending, and guaranteeing to shape outcomes. This is not neutrality. It is selective intervention. Renewable energy was told to wait, absorb uncertainty, prove itself without public support and overpay for any cleanup. Hydrocarbon markets are being offered financial optionality backed by taxpayers." Equality of Result, Another Small Government Win! #hypocrisy
