While a desire to see the Ayatollah regime in Iran come to an end contributed to Saturday's strike, the looming election and a set of unflattering polls also weighed heavily on the Israeli PM ■ 'The road to the polling stations runs through Washington and Tehran,' one minister said (Haaretz)

The Epstein files show Republican elite men rape young women. The article below shows, the Rapist-in-chief insists, to appease his Christian Nationalist supporters, that raped girls and women who are allegedly "illegals" be sent to Red states so they can't abort. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

UNICEF research notes most developing countries spend 12-14 percent of national budgets on basic social services. The World Military Expenditures and Arms Transfers reported in 1999 they spend 14.5 percent of national budgets on the military. The IMF makes loans conditional on social service cuts.

"Anthropic has pushed back against allowing Claude to be used for mass domestic surveillance or in autonomous weapons systems that can kill people without human input." F.U. says Pete Hegseth, meaning he's a fascist who wants total surveillance of Americans and mechanized murder of everyone else.

You don't have a cover-up unless there is something grim to cover up. Trump is guilty as fuck of pedophilia. He should be tried and jailed. And Bondi should be tried and jailed for her grotesque role in the cover-up. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

Only in America are you wussy If you deny Trump access to 14-year-old pussy The gangster fascist Dear Leader obeys no laws Tariffs, invasions, women's bodies are in his paws

How can anyone convince an authoritarian gangster with the understanding of a 4-year-old bully in a sandbox that he wasn't the only person elected--barely at that--& that senators and congress reps are elected to do more than say "heil Trump" on issues that the constitution says they decide?

"Kevin Hassett says Fed researchers should be ‘disciplined’ over report that Americans are paying tariffs." Well, asshole Hassett, do you want to "discipline" the Supreme Court for saying the same thing and ruling that only Congress has the right to impose those taxes because tariffs ARE taxes.

Just as Andrew is now The Pedo Formerly Known as Prince, Trump should be The Pedo Formerly Known as President.

Thames Valley Police described Mountbatten-Windsor as “a man in his sixties from Norfolk." That's how a criminal should be described. When Trump is arrested and charged as a pedophile, rapist, murderer, extortionist, and thief, police should call him "a demented man approaching 80," not president.

Here's more of the Trump admin fascist demand that everyone tell obvious lies. Hassett's insistence that researchers deny the statistics that show consumers pay tariff increases shows him to be not just an idiot but a fascist.https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/18/economy/hassett-fed-researchers-disciplined

"Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland and the former head of a group of world leaders known as the Elders, said...Ms. Ocasio-Cortez offered a generational freshness and that her left-wing ideals appealed to Europeans. “I’m not sure America’s ready for that yet,” she said. “But maybe it is.”

In 2013, Bondi as Florida AG considered joining an NY lawsuit on tax fraud charges against Trump University. Four days later, a fund established by Bondi to support her re-election received a $25,000 donation from the Donald J. Trump Foundation. She then dropped the idea of suing Trump University.

Before 1959, American mafia gangsters ran the tourist industry in Cuba--the sort of people who are in the Epstein files, including Donald Trump. The renewed tourist industry is government-run, does not include prostitutes, gambling, and drugs. Trump wants to change that. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Trump's efforts to starve Cuba so that he can reimpose American corporate control are grotesque and receiving little attention. Cuba may not be a democracy but anyone who has travelled through Latin America, including Cuba, has seen that it has the best healthcare and education in the region.

Trump, the pedophile pal of Epstein, wants an end to gender studies so that his "grab 'em by the pussy" viewpoint is reinstated as acceptable thinking. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump is talking out of his ass. He knows that Epstein had the goods on him & his associates. Here's Howard Lutnick on how Epstein operated. No one who was as close to Epstein as Trump became that close without becoming a user of the women whom Epstein trafficked: www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Bondi doesn't have a compassionate bone in her body. She's a soulless, ambitious person who has staked everything on being Trump's bully in the courts and protector from revelations leading to potential prosecution. That explains her inability to even pretend to be interested in Epstein's victims.

Trump is Putin's bitch selling out Ukraine for financial gains in Russia plus Putin not revealing proof Trump is a pedo. Trump hides his sell-out of the US and Allies with MAGA BS about arming America vs. Russia by seizing Greenland and the Canadian North. It's all deflection from the sell-out.

Trump's call for the Republicans to "nationalize" elections is a call for a one-party fascist state headed by a pedo murderer gangster. When will this piece of filth be arrested and executed for his crimes and his rather obvious goal of replacing American democracy with a personal dictatorship?

For those who think that Donald Trump's imperialist interventions in countries have something to do with support for "democracy," read about how he intervened in Honduras to make it impossible for anyone but a criminal with ties to him to win a presidential election. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

"Murder most foul" must be reported wherever it is occurring. There has been little reporting from Iran because of a total lockdown of external communication. 36,500 may have been murdered by the state in a mere 2 days. Trump's bs promises didn't help. www.iranintl.com/en/202601255...

Trump's dementia makes him a more revealing imperialist than former presidents. He bsed about fentanyl & lack of democracy in Venezuela like his predecessors would have, but then wrote that it was all about wanting Venezuela's oil. And now he admits that Greenland is about his pout over a Nobel!

More than anything right now, the world needs reasonable Americans to join us in demanding Trump's planned invasion of democratic Greenland and Denmark be prevented. His invasion of Venezuela was bad enough but he can pretend that it had something to do with removing a dictator. But Greenland? FFS.

The US under Trump is governed by "gangster fascism," says former Canadian MP Charlie Angus. Trump rejects international law & American law. He makes his own rules, pardons felons who pay him off, puts his political opponents on trial, and uses ICE and the military to murder people at home & abroad.

"...Venezuela suddenly ceased to be the Latin American exception. It has now faced what most other South and Central American countries have at least once in their history: A direct takeover by the United States." Toronto Globe and Mail. Trump is a shitbag but don't think he invented US imperialism.

Trump's announcement that he's king of the Western Hemisphere means denial of democracy to all countries of that half of the world. Beware, Yankees, that means the US too. He's just the asshole political prostitute of Big Oil, Big Banks, and Big Tech. He's the enemy of all peoples & must be turfed.

Trump's announcement that he's king of the Western Hemisphere means that he rejects the democratic right of the people of countries in that half of the world to their own self-rule. Beware, Yankees, he rejects democracy at home too. He's just the political prostitute of Big Oil, Big Banks, Big Tech.

"U.S. forces will continue to prevent oil tankers on a U.S. sanctions list from entering and leaving the country until the government opens up the state-controlled oil industry to foreign investment." Usually US governments change the gov't to get their way. This time it's just blackmail.

I thank Donald Trump for being a dumb fuck who has stripped away pretensions of his predecessors about US intervention in other countries' politics. As they happily murdered millions, they claimed to be protecting democracy & "international order." Trump says it's about stealing others' resources.

The CIA Factbook, 2009, says Venezuelan poverty dropped from 52% in 1998 to 31.5% in 2009 under Chavez. Extreme poverty fell from 20.1% to 9.5%. While corruption under Maduro pushed things backwards, there's no argument that Trump's interest is in aiding the people of Venezuela. Socialism helped!

Even the otherwise horrible Marjorie Taylor Green recognizes that "“this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies.” The US has launched so many imperialist wars to take control of other country's resources that Trump's illegal invasion of Venezuela, while disgusting, is nothing new.

"During a press conference hours after the capture of Maduro, Trump invoked the 19th-century Monroe doctrine, which was used to assert US military power in Latin America. Dubbing it the Don-Roe doctrine, he said: “American dominance in the western hemisphere will never be questioned again." Fascism.

American imperialism is alive and well under thug Trump. The US overthrew at least 50 elected gov'ts from the 1950s to 1970s as well as many unelected ones. Trump's treating Venezuela as a playground for American oil companies rather than the home of a sovereign people is as American as apple pie.

Hey elitists, stop bashing workers as "losers." Ask instead why we have societies where workers see themselves as losers. Ask why in the US, unlike Scandinavia, most workers have no union, have shitty medical insurance, have shitty educational opportunities for their kids, can't afford recreation.

Fie on the NY Times for its cream puff piece on MTG. She may now want to be kinder and gentler but that's a reminder of G W Bush in 2000. What does it mean? You'll add balloons when you drop the bombs? She remains an ugly opponent of trans people, of reproductive choice, of social programs.

More than ever the phrase "socialism or barbarism" to express our real choices makes sense. But so far the barbarians seem to be in the lead. The resistance has to grow to the point that they are overtaken.

In terms of expanding whose stories are told, see my book, Humans: The 300,000 Year Struggle for Equality. Among its other stories is that of Johanna Ferrour. She instigated the 1381 English peasant revolt historians call the "Wat Tyler revolt." There's clear evidence this was a women-led rebellion.

Elise Stefanik is a parody of today's Republicans: the greedy super-rich trying to hide that it only benefits the 1% by uniting white Christian nationalists to make them believe that their lives have been getting worse because of non-whites benefiting from DEI & immigrants increasing cost of living.

Successful societies do not measure worth in economic growth but in how equally their residents share in both decision-making and the fruits of production. Such societies are produced only by the conscious actions of the 99% against resistance from the 1% who earn the fruits of an unjust society.
