Trump's America First turn is placing a massive strain on the viability of the international institutions that emerged after WW2. #Israel's utter lawlessness is compounding this to an enormous extent. #Unwra

It is true the murder of #Palestinians by the IOF, settler mobs and within Israel's prisons is a rampant process. However, the formal adoption of the #deathpenalty, as a clear expression of an attempt to crush resistance to colonial dispossession, is of considerable significance.

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.

If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Trump says the U.S. took out a 'big facility' in Venezuela amid strikes on alleged drug boats
The president did not provide details about the apparent strike, which NBC News has not independently confirmed.

It is true that, in North America prior to WW2, immigrants from southern and eastern Europe (especially Jews), along with the Irish, faced massive levels of prejudice, discrimination and disadvantage. The Stephen Millers of that period would have focused their hatred accordingly. #StephenMiller
