Read this. Then read it again.
Then read it in a German accent.
These people are Nazis.
3/3 Gambling, bootlegging, extortion — their hands allegedly were in it all. The family's deep crime ties even cost a family member a seat on the federal bench. The encyclopedia entry isn't wrong, but it's certainly not complete.
2/3 the Litmans were the only ones who still commanded silence, even from the grave. People stopped talking when I mentioned the name & phones were disconnected mid-interview. "Eugene Litman [was] the godfather," one source told me.
1/2 This encyclopedia entry may be one of the most whitewashed narratives I've ever seen. The Litmans were a multi-generational crime family. Of all the Pittsburgh crime families I've researched & written about ... 🗃️https://rauhjewisharchives.org/entries/eugene-litman/

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
Some people see Underground Railroad stations in every old building basement and cellar in places known to have been involved or where there were significant abolitionist activities. Sometimes, though, a basement is just a basement — except when it's part of a brewery's underground lagering complex.
Hey folklorists, material culture folks: y'all are gonna want to watch this video!
Screaming at the top of my lungs: The Founders saw a free and independent press as a fourth and necessary check against government power, one that could check them all. Any government against a free and independent press is against the very essence of American democracy.

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.
But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.
Trump worried about the Deep State, so he created the Derp State in its place, a government run by morons who think they’re the smartest people.

The same is true about legal case files. One that I reviewed last year included screenshots from text message exchanges, including this one.
Start the day off right, says Crews.
Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.
looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles
I keep going back to Hunter S. Thompson the week after 9/11, when he was extremely right
As we face the aftermath of another synagogue attack, reminder: The federal government is now requiring synagogues to cooperate with ICE and have no DEI programs to be eligible for federal security funding, which were not requirements pre-Trump administration. www.timesofisrael.com/us-jewish-le...
While millions are struggling to make ends meet, Donald Trump is exploiting the presidency to get even richer through shady crypto deals and blatant self-dealing.

What a joke. FBI agents are not street brawlers. They interview witnesses, uncover documents, analyze intelligence, and testify in court, usually while wearing a suit and tie. Just one more frolic for Kash at taxpayer expense.
