As rumors fly that Trump has suffered a stroke, I was reminded that the motherfucker has always been a loathsome piece of shit. To make more money with a different tenant, Trump threw 74-year-old widow, Mary Filan, who had recently suffered a stroke out of her Queens apartment.

I wrote a whole monograph about how people endlessly try to emulate the Bad Thing at the center of a spectacle dystopia, but this really takes the cake.

Worth noting that in post-WWI European fascism, the Freikorps (Germany) and the blackshirt squadistri (Italy) were both volunteer paramilitaries that laid the groundwork for the fascist states and imperial armies to come. The sneering, personalistic brutality is the point. This is fascism.

Abdaljawad Omar on Israel's plan for the occupation of Gaza, for which the killing of Anas al-Sharif was merely the prelude. Yet it's simply an excuse to carry out more destruction of the infrastructure and population, the slow accumulation of death.
