The Claws Are Out: Corruption, Courts, and Control
Political Low-Lights
- NYC Corruption Circus: Ingrid Lewis-Martin, Mayor Adams’ right-hand operator, just got slapped with fresh bribery charges—over $75K in bribes for greasing contracts and permits. Translation: City Hall is basically a litter box, and Adams is pretending not to smell it.
- UK Asylum Court Fights: A judge blocked asylum seekers from being housed in the Bell Hotel, ruling the government broke planning laws. Now other councils are itching to follow suit, leaving over 32,000 asylum seekers in limbo. Bureaucracy wins, humanity loses.
- Tibet Under Tight Paws: Xi Jinping made a rare visit to Tibet, marking 60 years of “autonomy” with parades and propaganda while quietly doubling down on surveillance, Mandarin indoctrination, and cultural erasure. Nothing screams unity like authoritarian cosplay.
Featured Resister: International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP)
This global legal advocacy group fights to protect asylum seekers and refugees from legal and bureaucratic purgatory. When governments use red tape as a weapon, IRAP turns it into confetti.
Today’s To-Do List
- 📞 NYC Readers: Call City Hall—demand Mayor Adams stop shielding corruption.
- 💸 Donate to IRAP: Help fund legal support for asylum seekers shoved into legal limbo.
- 🐾 Share Tibetan Voices: Amplify reporting from exile groups instead of Beijing’s stage-managed parades.
- 🪧 Show Up: Join local protests or vigils for immigrant justice and government accountability.
- 🚫 Boycott Fox News: Still laundering authoritarian propaganda like it’s dry cleaning. Stop feeding the beast.
Kitty’s Final Swipe
Corruption is cozying up in NYC, courts are playing keep-away with asylum seekers, and dictators are dancing in stolen costumes. But here’s the truth: they thrive on silence. Don’t give it to them. Scratch, hiss, claw—whatever it takes. Revolution 2025 isn’t a bedtime story, kittens—it’s the fight for our nine lives.
