An outstanding inquiry into the nature of Trump’s foreign policy—how it represents both an intensification of previous practices and a decisive break with them, how it arises from and compounds domestic inequalities, the prospects for a form of domination actively opposed to hegemony.

There is not a time that i can remember that I ever saw this woman on the screen and she was not an absolute delight. I don't know if she was ever a "super star" celebrity, and I don't think that sort of thing matters. Everywhere she was, she at it up. She is an absolute legend.

The US Ambassador to Israel and close friend of Joe Biden, Jack Lew, personally blocked the distribution of a cable written by USAID which accurately described the situation in northern Gaza

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

According to a Reuters report about how senior officials in the Biden admin ignored or even blocked evidence of forced starvation in Gaza from being published, McGurk would ask USAID why their reports weren't identified to Israel's. "The question was always like 'where are all the skinny kids?''

The billions to DHS have built the for-profit panopticon surveillance state they were unable to fully push through after 9/11 because people fought back. It took 25 years but they have it now. This cannot be reformed. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

Yes. They messed up this case so bad. Fucking historic.

It feels really nice to hear a Brit, seething so. The Sun has truly, and permanently sunk, on the empire that ravaged the world with rapacious colonial capitalism. Now, reduced to prostrating themselves before the world that your forefathers raped mercilessly.

Al Jazeera reports Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda says TikTok permanently banned her account. The article also notes TikTok's US CEO has described treating "Zionist" as hate speech in some contexts. If that's shaping enforcement, it's troubling.

RIP. 😞 apple.news/Arq18UxhNS_y...

last week, Hakeem purposefully chose not to whip House Dems against a 10 billion increase in ICE funding (after the murder of Renee Good, days before ICE executed Alex Pretti) on top of the 170 billion dollars taken from American's healthcare, after failing to get ACA subsidy extension--folds again.

NEW: The Israeli military today accepted the Gaza Health Ministry's estimate of 70,000+ killed. But in 2024, 62 Dems joined 207 Republicans to ban the State Dept. from citing the Ministry's stats. Now, even Israel accepts them — perhaps because they realize what is feared: the toll is even higher.

He produces propaganda that justifies the MAGA agenda, but he also makes slop: content that treats The Algorithm as a distinct audience, that ruthlessly & immediately adjusts to analytics. One comparison is yellow journalism leading up to the Spanish-American war, now with A/B YouTube title testing.

The old-fashioned term "Republican party operative" or "useful idiot" also equally apply.

Americans woke up, saw all the great infrastructure in China, expanding living standards, and said. Cool, lets copy all the shitty parts and not do any of the good stuff.

Periodic reminder : Under fascism legality is only used to protect power never those the state intends to dominate.

We asked an expert to tell us what they thought of ICE's military moves. It was worse than I thought (but the writing is great) www.wired.com/story/ice-pr...

Jewish Insider is a very racist rightwing, pro-genocide publication so everything they report here is supposed to be framed negatively: but this dude apparently, rocks when it comes to Palestinians, and being against US support for Israel's racist, Jewish supremacist nationalism.

Kansas bills creating bounties to go after trans people in bathrooms, Texas bills creating bounties to go after people using and transporting abortion pills—the desired outcome is clear: harassment and surveillance curtailing the movement and bodily autonomy of women and LGBTQ people everywhere.

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy www.sacbee.com

this is so comically stupid. I hate solider worship: there is nothing inherently laudable about military service, but these people fucking died for this stupid country, and its stupid, evil, pointless war in Afghanistan--which is bad enough. Spitting on their graves is simply, an outrage.

Democrats have a rotating cast of villains who vote with Republicans on these things, like the recent extra 10 billion given to ICE days before they executed hero Minneapolis neighbor Alex Pretti in the street in broad daylight, this past Friday. These creatures behind Schumer are the very same.

Fuck it. I am voting for Elliot Forhan.

this is part of the plan. it's well-established that detention is terrible for everyone, extremely terrible for children.

For this nob-slobbering hog www.thetrace.org/2024/08/ice-...

all of this, you pitiful little monster, is as they say, at the tip of your fingers. Don't ask questions you have no interest in being answered; because, inevitably, they will be answered, and you will be left to try to move the goal post, once again. www.thetrace.org/2024/08/ice-...

The CBP agent whom along with 7 other agents, beat, then murdered Alex Pretti was an 8 year veteran, involved with arms training. How dare you? "A few bad apples"? is that your argument? You are pathetic, man. Homan is an Obama appointee. ICE needs to be abolsihed along with DHS, and CBP cleaned out

The men who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had been agents for years. They served under Biden, one was hired under Obama. They were the same monsters then doing the same work. It was just out of sight, and your team was in charge so you didn't care.

Paris is fine, not making an issue here of anything he's saying, but this article is classic anglo brain derangement. Everything we say about China here is completely projection, launching from the US coup in Venezuela. He goes from the laughable "Davidson doctrine" to this bat shit conspiracy:

okay I'm sorry but I fundamentally do not see how this is anything other than victim-blaming Brianna?? Brianna met her killers, one of whom was a friend, in broad daylight. How is that some kind of online-influenced risk-taking?? They could have been meeting up to go to the cinema

As FAIR and many others have pointed out, Israel did not cease firing after signing the ceasefire agreement. But Gaza is receiving less than two-thirds the level of coverage it received prior to the agreement. fair.org/home/after-t...

spain will flourish

As M Gessen argued in the NYT the other day, Trump is trying to rule by terror, and that terror is aimed at *everyone* who doesn’t affirmatively assent to everything he’s doing, including his own supporters.

'We are shutting it down:' Ubisoft unions call for international strike

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE. When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it. And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.
