Israel Gives β€˜Mass Expulsion Order’ to 200,000 Civilians in South Lebanon. First they stole most of Palestine from Palestinians (included Jews), now the Zionists are taking the rest of it & a huge piece of Lebanon. For what? Greater Israel! www.commondreams.org/news/israel-...

No, not "madness" but what you get when you elect a greedy con-man, who lies like he breathes and is easily bought off by Zionists out to carve Greater Israel out of other people's lands.

Nice words, but our only REAL "rights" are those we seize through our struggles. Given that the current form of government denies real democracy & imposes policies denying life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness, the only question is HOW to overthrow it & establish something better.

Dumb shits! You support a Putin-Hitler wannabe, this is what you get: not only fascism at home but the desire to build a Czarist-Empire/thousand-year-Reich! Endlessly greedy, he's easily bought by Zionists who are out to carve out "Greater Israel" from the ruins of other people's lands.

Not just party over country, but the interests of those who fund them over those of their constituents. But then, it was set up that was and is operating normally.

Sad to see the AFT reinforcing the view of American education as nothing more than "career readiness", i.e., accepting discipline from teachers today so you'll accept it from bosses in the labor market. Gone is the old illusion that schooling was for citizenship & learning cultural legacies.

If only ALL payoffs were on film! Most pass unseen, under the table. We could use a generalization of the service provided by AIPAC Tracker www.trackaipac.com

Much as I like Larson, skunks get almost as bad an undeserved rap as wolves.

Trump may not know what he's doing, or why, but his handlers do, paid off by Zionists to do their bidding. www.trackaipac.com

Let us not forget, they have STILL not solved the problem of the radioactive wastes produced by nuclear power plants! Where are they putting it in the UK?

It ain't "their" atrocities but rather those of the fascists making & implementing policy. Moreover, they were not put there by a "vast majority" but only by a slim majority of those who bothered to vote.

Take a good luck folks. This is only the beginning of the concentration camps these fascists will build if they aren't stopped.

All true, but no insight into the gender/cultural values that regularly produce the road rage prototypical in this film. The violence is not inherent in inanimate vehicles but in the men who drive them, shaped by the gender politics of capitalist patriarchy.

Wishful thinking that is complicit with Apple's systematic planned obsolescence that continues year after year to profit from people's gullibility & cultural pressures to HAVE "the latest thing". 😑 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned...

Where does this phony religious shit come from? Read Katherine Stewart's book MONEY, LIES & GOD (2025) to find out!

The ONLY reason to watch ANYTHING on networks controlled by fascists is to monitor their lies to figure out how to counter them. Countering, however, requires counter-outlets & sources, like Democracy Docket, so sign up & support financially as many as your income allows.

Alt CDC & other Alt-govt agencies are terrific responses to the current fascist administration's efforts to deny us information important to our lives. May they proliferate!

NB: Foreign Affairs is the oldest journal of elite foreign policy makers, produced by the Council on Foreign Relations. It has long been one of the few venues where those mostly behind-closed-door elites share their views & debates with the rest of the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign...

Nice! But don't call it "hiking", like Thoreau, call it "sauntering". www.thoreau-online.org/walking.html

"Cowards"? WAY too generous! They are COMPLICIT because they plan to profit, just like the German capitalists who supported the Nazis in their rise to power & during their consolidation, attacking not only political opponents but unions & their workers' communities.

"Should be on every network"? Of course, but those networks whose managers will refuse to air it, are all bought off by Zionist money, just like the politicians & corporate CEO's who'll ignore it and continue to cover up Zionist crimes, including genocide. They've been doing it since 1948.

The unfeeling, cruel treatment of sentients/sapients as nothing more than another means of production (like machines, water, or metal ore) is prototypically capitalist behavior. This includes, of course, humans - viewed by economists, handmaidens of capitalism, as "human capital".

Let's make it clear, Epstein's behavior is just one, well-financed example of common behavior among racist, misogynic White Christian Nationalists who want to replace our pseudo-democracy by a "Christian"Theocracy run by men. If you doubt it, read Katherine's book MONEY, LIES & GOD.

Great graphic! Good reminder of the hidden history of capitalist crimes that is carefully kept out of textbooks. But, of course, were they included, the result would be not a textbook, but a multivolume encyclopedia filled with horror. Too bad the victims never have had the resources to create it.

For many of the culprits, the investigation would be easy, if ever started, because they have often photographed or videotaped their crimes & bragged about them. It's the absence of investigations that makes every government that refuses to investigate complicit.

2/ Things in the states haven't quite reached the depths of the perversity in Palestine where Zionist beasts DO photograph & videotape their crimes, upload them to social media & brag about them! 😑

1/ Certainly, if we broaden "lynching" to include other kinds of extrajudicial murders besides hanging a person by a rope, that's all too true! 😑 About all we don't see these days is those doing the lynching taking photographs of their murder victim, turning them into postcards for bragging.

It's not "stupid" to make false claims if you get away with it! Trump is pushing to get all the power he can as frontman for every movement wanting to replace our pseudo-democracy with fascism &/or a White Christian Theocracy run by men.

In other words, two WHITE, MALE PIGS, out to roll back all women's gains & reduce all women to mere broodmares & handmaidens, probably also Christian Nationalists who have the same agenda. Tenn Holler should check if they've been accused of domestic violence vs women &/or children.
