Azerbaijan government consolidates control over media www.az-netwatchorg/news/governm...

Misinformation and propoganda... www.az-netwatch.org/news/on-a-mi...

This is a subtle lobbying strategy in which Azerbaijani government officials, PR people & journalists are said to present visiting European dignitaries with secret gifts, luxury tours, & in some cases, cash, to persuade them to look the other way regarding country’s abysmal human rights record.

All that is grinding to a halt under Trump, who doesn’t want any facts to get in the way of his made-up stories. From now on, there will be as little data as possible, and that’s by design.

Trump Is Waging a Catastrophic War on Data The U.S. government has long been one of the best sources of data on earth, and, relative to other governments, ours has long made this easily accessible to journalists and citizenry alike. newrepublic.com/article/2009... via @newrepublic.com

That's the country Russ Vought & Trump, want to give to Americans. A country where we round up & lock up millions; where defense contractors make tens of millions in unchecked profit. In other words, they know deep down that they’re feeding America one giant shit sandwich (all in Jesus' name).

...Americans have no idea what pig fest it’s been at Pentagon... Military spending: 2016 $640B; 2026 +$1T (+54% in 10 yrs.) SNAP: 2016 $92B; 2024 $100B Republicans want it be much less. Some want it to be $0. Customs Enforcement (usual $9B budget) +$75B $30B to round up people; $45B for camps

What’s Really Behind the Shutdown: the GOP’s Immoral Priorities State Department planned cuts: 84%, HUD, 43% & Labor Department, 35%. If gov't shuts down Tuesday night, it wants to furlough as many people as possible (permanently). newrepublic.com/article/2010... via @newrepublic.com

The suspected Michigan shooter identified as Thomas Sanford, a US Marine veteran who served in Iraq from 2004-2008. He was white. He was not trans. He died at the scene. The media will spin everything but the pattern that's right in front of us. This country breaks veterans. It's beyond wrong.

BREAKING: Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) just signed Trump’s gerrymander into law. If courts do not intervene, a referendum effort fails or the GOP again ignores the will of voters, the GOP will have locked in a 7–1 majority in the U.S. House for the rest of the decade.

International law is unequivocal: starvation of civilians as method of warfare is prohibited & CONSTITUTES A WAR CRIME. THIS LAW MUST BE ENFORCED, not merely lamented.

The Necropolitics of Hunger: Man-made Famine & Futurity of the Palestinian Nation Gaza & Sudan demonstrate how necropolitical starvation transcends isolated conflicts to REVEAL enduring structure of COLONIAL VIOLENCE that CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE GLOBAL RELATIONS. www.counterpunch.org/2025/09/26/t...

(After Monday's meeting) Netanyahu might return to Israel having lost a lot if he does not play this meeting correctly- -or he may get all he needs to extend genocide in Gaza & continue relentless march to crush Palestinians in the West Bank.

Donald Trump touts his “21-Point Plan” to end war in Gaza; Arab & Muslim leaders who met w/Trump this week have learned tricks of flattery & appeasement of this childlike president. But Netanyahu knows better than anyone how to do that. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/neta...

Weekly Briefing: Netanyahu is confronted with Israel’s global isolation at the U.N. In Mediterranean, civilians-including US veterans-are risking their lives to break the siege. Israel is fast-tracking West Bank annexation to erase Palestinian self-determination. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/week...

That latter form of surrender is exactly what Trump and Miller want. Under no circumstances should anybody willingly hand it over to them.
