Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.
Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.
A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

An illegally occupying army builds a concentration camp for every man, woman and child of an occupied land and decrees that those who will not be voluntarily interned in that camp will be ELIMINATED. Is there a more accurate definition of GENOCIDE?

Tehran's Metropolitan Statistical Area is roughly 16 million according to 2016 statistics. NYC's Metropolitan Statistical Area is roughly 18 million according to 2020 Census. Meanwhile NYC MSA is 11280 square miles- triple the space. We're talking evacuating much of the tristate area's population

The empire’s violence abroad always comes home. The same system backing genocide in Gaza is unleashing ICE raids in LA and calling in the National Guard on protesters here. Oppression isn’t contained—it boomerangs.

I read that the first soldiers sent to Tiannanman Square were locals from the Beijing area that refused to fire on protesters. So they brought in soldiers from the countryside who did obey orders to fire.

Israel is using the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Fund to condense Palestinians into increasingly narrow enclaves, forcing displacement through need. We are witnessing the rise of a new humanitarianism where aid sites double as kill zones.

The ‘chaos’ of aid distribution in Gaza is not a system failure. The system is designed to fail.

When you hear this kind of starkly sensible talk, it sounds to amazingly weird. How can somebody be frank, tell the truth, report on the emperors new clothes? Nobody does that. Must be a crazy crackpot.

The horrific anti-Palestinian violence we saw in Brooklyn this weekend — a pro-Israeli government mob beating, chasing, and harassing anti-genocide activists, all while the NYPD was largely absent — is the inevitable result of this type of policy which criminalizes support of Palestinian freedom.
🚨🚨🚨SCOOP: NYPD officers attended a training telling them that Palestinian symbols like the watermelon and the keffiyeh, as well as phrases such as “settler colonialism” and “all eyes on Rafah," were antisemitic. jewishcurrents.org/training-nyp...
Training for NYPD Officers Categorized the Keffiyeh and Watermelon as…
Experts say the training reinforced a police culture that treats Palestinians and their supporters with suspicion and brutality.

So disgusted with the bipartisan commitment to endless violence.

Trump is threatening to cut aid to Egypt & Jordan unless they accept mass displacement of Palestinians from Gaza—a blatant attempt at ethnic cleansing. But guess what? The New York Times and mainstream media won’t say it. Instead, they frame it as a "Gaza Redevelopment Plan" .
