The phrase "in this country" is doing a lot of work here. The groundwork for this was laid by US acceptance of rendition, blacksites, Gitmo, drone killings, deadly sanctions, arming a genocide and more. Naive to think that fascistic foreign policy wouldn't find its way home. Free Rumeysa Ozturk.

Greenpeace to appeal verdict ordering them to pay at least $660m to energy firm for pipeline protests – live Organisation condemns verdict that could bankrupt its US operation and risks ‘destroying right to peaceful protest’

So we can’t sue gunmakers for their role in hundreds of gun deaths, but fossil fuel companies can sue environmental organizations?

Conclusion: Corporations have rights but people do not.

Right on about the architects. Same goes for the corporate news media mouthpieces that pushed this criminal catastrophe.

Defense Department Removes And Swiftly Restores Web Page About Jackie Robinson Robinson’s page was published in February 2021 as part of a series on the website titled “Sports Heroes Who Served.”

I know the restoration of Jackie Robinson's page to the DOD website doesn't sound like much, but it's a reminder that these bullies back off when challenged. They first said celebrating Robinson "cultural marxism". That was weird nonsense and they buckled like a belt

On the 22nd anniversary of the Iraq War, let's pause to remember everything US corporate media is hoping we'll forget -- beginning with their own active complicity.

This is why I donate to Jewish Voice for Peace @jvp.bsky.social. If you can’t protest, support the ones who do. The cause for democracy and against genocide, occupation, fascism, and imperialism is the same cause.

The Trump/Musk/Project 2025 corporate rampage is so extreme that David Portnoy now sounds like Chomsky.

How the Warfare State Paved the Way for a Trumpist Autocracy Donald Trump’s power has thrived on the economics, politics, and culture of war. The runaway militarism of the last quarter-century was a crucial factor in making President Trump possible, even if it ...

1000%. This is why Jewish America's most powerful institutions won't fight for American liberal democracy in its moment of peril. Because that would alienate the American authoritarians they cultivate to sustain support for authoritarianism in Israel-Palestine.

Slicker, savvier Dems are hoping a big part of the base will instantly forget the last administration's militant support for genocide and ethnic cleansing, backed by its entire foreign policy team, very much including Samantha Power. But moral rot smells bad. It does not inspire

Failing to defend students protesting against genocide won’t save you, universities and presidents. It’s best to fight back and stand on ALL your principles because Trump and MAGA really hate you and are just using antisemitism as an excuse.
