Completely crazy-making to watch the Trump admin and their MAGA sycophants rewrite history in realtime - and reach millions with it - despite crystal clear video evidence that directly contradicts their narrative:
MAGA Is Already Rewriting the ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
The sanctioned government narrative of the Minneapolis shooting diverts wildly from video footage of the incident shared online.

NYC-DSA stands against Trump’s illegal war against Venezuela. Extractive wars have defined our lifetimes and we will not silently watch another begin. We know what follows from here - the enabling of a puppet government in the interest of big oil and the spread of US imperialism.

What an obsequious, toadying, servile, brown-nosing, corrupt little cunt Gianni Infantino is.
The FIFA 'peace prize' is the most cringe-worthy, pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life.
Football deserves better than this travesty of a ceremony and ruling body.

One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.
Sure, Galloway is better than Peterson
But he still believes the natural order of things requires men to be supreme. Men must protect, provide and procreate. It's dressed in progressive language, but it's fundamentally a patriarchal box to trap men in

Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.

Cheney will be remembered for key role after 9/11
The former White House chief of staff, congressman, secretary of defense and US vice-president Dick Cheney has died, his family has said. He was 84.

"We are going to have to live here with each other" is one of the most revealing things he could have said, because it ignores the fact that many people in America have had to live in the same streets and towns as those who dehumanise them - and to accept that grim reality - for their entire lives.
"All I can say for me in the work I do is that I want to create a space that takes our disagreements seriously, that takes the stakes of them seriously, the consequences for people seriously, but does so without deepening our divisions irreparably. We are going to have to live here with each other"

The explicit plan is to ethnically cleanse Gaza with US help while the whole world watches.
(AXIOS) - The director of Israel's Mossad spy agency visited Washington this week seeking U.S. help in convincing countries to take hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from Gaza, two sources with knowledge of issue tell Axios.
