The deal between India and Israel opened commercial and intelligence pathways tied to US-Israeli networks closely connected to Trump’s circle. It was worth $4.3 billion across sectors. #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinCoverup #EpsteinFiles

Representatives of Reliance are in talks with the Trump's US State and Treasury Department to obtain authorization, to buy oil from Venezuela, controlled by the US. “Reliance has been the largest Indian buyer of Russian oil" #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinCoverup #EpsteinFiles

Israeli war criminal PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli President Herzog are in the Epstein files. "Against all odds, we have been granted a meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu." #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinCoverup #EpsteinFiles

You probably already knew this but immigrants in the U.S. pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits. Every year. https://bsky.app/profile/cato.org/post/3mdxv2ckdx62p https://www.cato.org/white-paper/immigrants-recent-effects-government-budgets-1994-2023

Rich doesn't mean "easy street". It doesn't mean Scrooge McDuck vault. It doesn't mean you have millions in the bank. Shh. Shhh. It's okay. Life can be hard for rich people too. But it's way way WAY harder for the people who aren't rich.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This week's column is about something that's arguably more important than anything in the news, crucial as some of the other issues are. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

“The revelation of deep human ties, a belief that we are all equally chosen, doomed Liuzzo, Good, and Pretti, as revelation so often does. But it also immortalized them.” 12/12

“Liuzzo was born into poverty. Her father was a coal-miner. Her husband, a union organizer. Hers was the kind of salt of the earth family often celebrated in the anthems of The Homeland. Whereas The Homeland sees freedom as the sole prerogative of its tribe, Liuzzo’s vision extended out to […]

“For transgressing against The Homeland of that era—the Neo-Confederate South—Liuzzo was murdered by white supremacists. Just as Good was slandered by The Homeland’s authorities as a domestic terrorist and a “fucking bitch,” Liuzzo was slandered by The Homeland’s rulers as a heroin addict and […]

“In these moments, I find comfort and inspiration in ancestors and martyrs. More than a half century ago, as the writer Jelani Cobb recently noted, activist Viola Liuzzo, a housewife and mother of five, left her family in Detroit and headed South to join the March to Montgomery and in the […]

“The problem will almost certainly outlive Trump’s presidency. ICE’s budget has steadily increased through Democratic and Republican administrations. … No matter who wins the mid-terms this year, or the presidential election in 2028, the Army of The Homeland will remain, and its enemies in the […]

“Thirty-two people died in ICE’s custody in 2025—the highest number in twenty years. And befitting an administration filled with reality TV stars, a policy of human pain and suffering is presently being repackaged as spectacle. “ 7/

“For years, a certain kind of liberal has either minimized such culture war rhetoric coming from the other side, or urged political actors of all stripes to ignore this, in favor of “material” and “kitchen table” issues—as though the state regarding one’s life as “garbage” has no tangible […]

“Securing The Homeland is the central feature of the Trump administration. In Los Angeles and Chicago, Trump seeks to cleanse it. With Greenland and Venezuela, Trump seeks to expand and enrich it. Heterosexual men are the rightful defenders of The Homeland. Lesbian agitators, such as Good, are […]

“This is all appropriate: In defending the undocumented, Good had violated the sanctity of The Homeland, which is to say she had questioned the divine promise of American soil to a mythical and singular people.” 4/

“Trump propagandists tell us that Good was part of a growing cabal of insolent white ladies turned violent; that she was a “lesbian agitator” in league with “68 IQ Somali scammers”; or that she was simply, as her killer apparently labeled her, “a fucking bitch.” For these and other sins, her […]

“In the wake of poet and writer Renee Good’s killing, Donald Trump and his collaborators have done all they can to define her as an enemy of The Homeland. The administration claims, for instance, that Good was a “domestic terrorist,” a term it is now applying to Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse whom […]

Must-read from Ta-Nehisi Coates, published today. Coates nails the particular hatred Republican Fascists have for Renee Good and how it fits into their vision of America. Archived copy at […]

He’s a fascist. There is no question about it.
