In addition to targeting Bowman, AIPAC, UDP, and wealthy right-wingers are working to oust another Squad member: Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush, who is facing St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell the August 6 primary for Missouri's 1st District. "We've got your back, Jamaal Bowman!" Bush declared on social media last week. "From St. Louis to the Bronx, I know the people will stand with us to show that we are #NotForSale!" #USPol https://www.commondreams.org/news/congressman-jamaal-bowman
“”History is written by the perpetrators,” he said. And his goal is to be a part of writing something that challenges that.” - Eloi Coly, the curator and site manager of the House of Slaves, Senegal.
Bidenists are running on a 'save democracy' platform but it's more like 'save hypocrisy'. There's no need to wait for Trump to bring in fascism, it's alive and kicking students in the teeth already. In many places (like NY and California), it's happening under a Democrat President, governor, and mayor. America's two parties are just left and right boot, stamping on a human face forever. Once they get the tear gas out of their eyes, people can see this clear enough.
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit is continuing to aggressively and explicitly encourage and protect forum-shopping for the right while federal courts in Alabama are continuing to aggressively investigate judicial concerns about alleged forum-shopping in LGBTQ civil rights litigation.
“The more we allow, the more we get comfortable, with police beating up people who have not done anything wrong,” Kamau told Mehdi, “The more you're basically saying, ‘I accept being in a police state.’ And I don't accept being in a police state.”
Although there are other armies in history who documented their crimes (think the US at Abu Ghraib in Iraq), there’s never been such an extensive number of soldiers proudly sharing so much extreme genocidal content for the world to see.
Gilio-Whitaker on MEI: “White supremacy is the thread from which the American social fabric is woven. A few decades of laws promoting racial justice have failed to unravel the systemic forms that white supremacy has taken, reflected by a range of social indicators from chronic wealth inequality to negative educational outcomes to disproportionate rates of violence (police, sexual, and domestic) and incarceration in communities of color. Centuries of dehumanization of American Indians, African Americans, and ethnic minority “others” has left its mark on the American mind and in its institutions, refusing to die.”
within Israel, advocating for building settlements in Gaza appears to be more controversial than advocating for genocide against Gazans. The average Israeli, considered moderate politically, is indifferent to tens of thousands of casualties, starvation, and destruction, but draws the line at constructing new settlements.
Ukraine’s new mobilisation law opens up almost the entire local male population from 16 and above to conscription... to “address a critical shortage of soldiers amid intensified Russian attacks.”
This a nauseating euphemism for hundreds of thousands of military age Ukrainians being dead and buried
Now 103 years later, the Tulsa Race Massacre has resulted in zero consequences for the culprits who ignited the massacre. Sadly, this lack of accountability for racial violence has been the norm for the entirety of American history. It is no wonder that today, every intelligence agency points to white supremacy terrorism as the greatest threat to American national security today.
This is not some empty rhetorical point I’m just making to show that my worldview is better than those of the mainstream western empire apologist; it is extremely relevant to present and future developments of unparalleled importance to the survival of our species.
#FailedStateDepartmentOfBlinkenAssuarancesLackMerit: the White House “was conspicuously silent” on the ICJ ruling, the Washington Post noted, “a stark contrast to an almost identical ruling by the ICJ in March 2022,” which ordered Russia to “immediately suspend” military operations in Ukraine. Back then, the State Department lauded the court’s “vital role in the peaceful settlement of disputes under the U.N. Charter.”
Lies, damn lies, and business as usual funding genocide: When Blinken’s boss, Biden, did talk about a “red line” in March, he was simply lying – just as when he falsely and repeatedly claimed to have seen photos of Israeli Oct. 7th victims that do not in fact exist.
Broader pattern of war crimes being funded by Biden: “The International Criminal Court should investigate as war crimes three Israeli air strikes that killed 44 Palestinian civilians, including 32 children. The strikes are further evidence of a broader pattern of war crimes committed by the Israeli military in the occupied Gaza Strip in the last seven months”- Amnesty International
Pappé cited the interrogation in Detroit as an example of the "sheer panic and desperation" of Israel and pro-Israel lobbies due to fear the country will become a "pariah state."
Bulldozers have been demolishing homes, crushing cars, digging up roads and destroying roundabouts. I’m unclear if there was a secret Hamas megabase under one of those roundabouts, but the parked vehicles must have been up to no good. The only other possibility is that this was destruction for destruction’s sake.
Biden’s two state solution after genocide: Antony Blinken met with Arab-American leaders and warned them that if Palestine got statehood, the US would defund the United Nations and potentially the World Food Program, plunging the developing world into starvation. It wasn’t enough for these fascists to starve innocents in Palestine, they’re now threatening to do it across the world.
