Remember how in 2020 centrists closed ranks to prevent the progressive wing of the party from winning? What’s happening now is a direct result of this maneuver. Biden failed so miserably to deliver, the voters crucified Harris. Corporate donors must get out of the way and let progressives win.
Fits in perfectly with the structural demographics of a shrinking white population. White Americans erroneously believe the only solution is a settler apartheid state like Israel. The majority of America will prevail against this minority apartheid mindset behind the denial of voting rights.

The corporate media refuses to talk about how behind all these bluffing and huffing smokescreens Americans are getting bilked, squeezed, and crushed by real policies rammed through government to facilitate the further enrichment of Wall Street’s largest shareholders.
I was just in Japan for two weeks, and learned a lot from talking Japanese policy wonks about the "strategic ambiguity" at the heart of the US-Japan trade deal, and what this reveals is -- and isn't -- in a number of the President's "deals."

Just like a typical long-eared and long-fanged vampire, Rubio has no clue how precipitously his prognostications will result the demise of the neocon gambit.
The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.

When any ideology begins using epistemicide as a tool in its toolbox, all ideological camps are prevented from battling for hegemony. This generates an unsustainable (and fascistic) absolutism. Trump is a dead star that will collapse from its own narcissistic mass into a black hole.
Trump on why he fired the person in charge of jobs reports: "We didn't believe the numbers today."

Anybody noticing a pattern with Cuomo & Biden? There's a huge landslide of opposition to centrists coming from BOTH the right AND the left. The collapse of centrism puts the leadership of the Dem party within reach of progressives. As Trump's policies inevitably backfire, a path to power opens up.
Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

So much of what the states of Israel and the US are doing to the Palestinians are horrific echoes of what the US did to Native Peoples. Dominion through brutal conquest, elimination, assimilation, and exploitation. It has never ended thanks to (not despite) liberal veneers.
Israel turns conflicts into profit and war into stock data.
Israel’s Ever-Expanding War Machine Is Financed Through International Bond Sales
Israel’s ability to continue its military onslaughts is dependent on a sophisticated international funding system.

While the crimes committed by death squads in Latin America were carried out in secret, the collective sadism and heinous amorality of this administration is being carried out in the open, taking the pathological behavior to an even higher level of brazen illegality.
A key aspect of a concentration camp is that they detain people indefinitely who are not charged with a crime with no opportunity to challenge their detention. This is what immigration detention is.

And the corporate media wanted us to believe Abu Ghraib was an aberration, but we can see there are thousands of people out there like Lynndie England, Sabrina Harman, and Charles Graner. They must all be prosecuted for the sadistic maltreatment of unlawfully apprehended detainees.
These are crimes against humanity, this is deeply inhumane and evil beyond belief, cruelty is their goal.

This raises the question of why–after the doubling over the last 2 decades of the 1%'s share of income–the Democratic leadership has not done one meaningful thing about the problem of income inequality. Something is deeply wrong. Could it be that the whole darn barrel is rotten?

The problem of political polarization is not because of the left or the right. It's the pseudo dem centrists who pretend to hold the center while actually catering to big money on the right creating a massive crisis of legitimacy perfectly reflected in last year's election landslide.

The scapegoating of immigrants is nothing more than an age-old ideological weapon which has no basis in reality except in a tiny minority of white supremacists. The media exaggerates anti-immigrant bigotry and sycophants pretend the country as a whole hates immigrants. It’s all one huge fabrication.
Wow — New Gallup poll:
— Trump approval on immigration: 35-62 (!)
— Record high approval of immigration (79-17 overall)
— 78% of people support a pathway to citizenship (+8 from 2024); only 38% support mass deportation (-9 from 2024)
— 30% want a decrease in immigration (-25 from 2024)

Since 2000, the US dollar's share of world foreign exchange reserves has fallen an average of 0.56% per year. The greatest drop was 5.02% from 2001 to 2002 when the War on Terror began. The greatest gain was 3.9% between 2013 and 2014. When will US dollar no longer be the dominant reserve currency?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
