New Ideas (dictatorship) 🤡

Are you okay?

With reforms in place, California’s Karuk Tribe works to reestablish cultural burning as 'common practice' For millennia, Indigenous peoples have intentionally set fires to care for the land. Colonization and fire exclusion largely put an end to those practices, though the tradition endured. Now, Californi...

There is much to worry about in wildfire today. But one of the most hopeful things happening is a revolution of sorts in Karuk territory, where the tribe is insisting on being able to burn as their ancestors did for millennia. The ideas are spreading. www.boisestatepublicradio.org/environment/...

El Salvador's Legislative Assembly reforms constitution to permit indefinite presidential reelection, ending term limits for Bukele and certifying the country's return to its authoritarian past.

Trump regime getting ready to take away Birthright Citizenship.

National citizenship has always been a weapon of the rich and powerful to divide us from one another. They are sharpening the knives further.

Biden’s diplomacy was a charade. He had leverage and refused to use it, instead providing Israel with political and PR cover and full material support for the genocide. You can call that whatever you want.

City annexation filing reveals next steps for Project Blue data center - AZ Luminaria Even before its first public meeting on a controversial and long-secretive 290-acre data center project, the city of Tucson had already filed a petition with the Pima County Recorder’s Office to begin...

More on Tucson's Project Blue, the Amazon data center project cloaked in secrecy for years.

@yanak.bsky.social and I pieced together more of the timeline, finding that City of Tucson officials moved to annex the land BEFORE the first public hearing on the project.

'America' is a Death Cult On the week's unending horrors and the transnational 'state of exception'

What lie? Biden was an accomplice to Israel’s genocide at every turn. If you want to read excoriations of Trump, feel free to subscribe to my newsletter 😉

Thanks for the clarification. Any idea who gave them the weapons?

Why the Democrats were Israel's perfect partners in genocide By masking support for Israel with humanitarian gestures and empathy for Palestinians, Biden and Harris have diluted pressure to end the war.

You live in an alternate reality. Please seek help/education.

Gaza is starving and we live under fascism, but hey, at least the people responsible are getting multi-million-dollar book deals 👍

In America, you get punished for being poor while presidents get rewarded for committing genocide.

“We are starving because of Israel’s decision to use starvation as a weapon against Gaza’s civilian population, and the world’s decision to permit it. Closing borders, shooting people waiting for aid, and turning away aid trucks has become acceptable, as long as it’s Gaza.”

In Gaza, Hunger Has Overtaken Bombs as Israel’s Cruelest Weapon "We do not need pity. We need pressure on those who are blocking food, those who remain silent, and those who still have the power to stop this but choose not to."

“Palestinians have been turned into symbols of suffering and defiance, whereas what we want is not only to survive, but also to truly live and feel alive once more.”

The blood of Gaza is on your hands, @nytimes.com

Ada and Her Family Fled El Salvador. She Died Alone in the New Mexico Desert Hundreds of migrants’ bodies have been found in the past three years in the Sunland Park Triangle, where New Mexico borders Texas and Mexico.

"Advocacy organizations argue that restrictive asylum policies, enacted first under Joe Biden and now under Donald Trump, are driving these deaths, while systemic negligence from local authorities hides them from view."

This discourse is so bizarre and obscene. "If only foreign reporters were allowed into Gaza"—as if this wasn't the most widely broadcast genocide in human history. Such a shocking and pathetic display of the racism structured into the culture of Western media.

“existential threat”

the “humanitarian aid”

Yeah, exactly

Endgame “mowing the grass,” essentially. Only this time, they’re poisoning the entire lawn. A Final Solution interspersed with “humanitarian aid,” as a treat.

Israel’s strategy—as Obama et al. are well aware—is to kill as many civilians as possible before the PR pressure explodes, then rev the death machine back up as attention subsides, repeating the pattern ad nauseum until every Palestinian is dead or displaced.

Genocide tourism

My latest, from the Israel-Gaza border, where I listened in as tour groups came to view the ruins of Gaza: www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

To state the obvious: this is genocide denial.

The noise in the background is a drone

My daughter asks me about the Gaza genocide.

Framing ICE in opposition to "real" cops only furthers ICE's long-term project to fully integrate immigration enforcement into the carceral system. Once all immigration violations have been criminalized, ICE will finally be the legitimate law enforcement agency they have always wanted to be.
