That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

A Government Shutdown, Weaponized The president is boasting about doing things to Democrats that are “bad for them and irreversible by them.”

It took Trump less than 24 hours to “turn a government shutdown into a weapon wielded against the civil servants he once praised and the opposing party he has long derided,” Toluse Olorunnipa and Jonathan Lemire report.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE] killed an unarmed person just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park...They killed somebody...They are just putting out their propaganda and then we've gotta later determine what actually happened."

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Understand that the Reichstag Fire—the faked emergency Hitler used to seize power—is happening right now in America.

Trump and his goons are lying about crime and who they are arresting to provoke the violence they will justify martial law with.

It's the fascists' final maneuver to end democracy.

Things are accelerating. The end of our democracy and start of the Trump dictatorship isn't happening at a consistent pace—nor is it intended to.

The way they end America is to move so quickly that neither institutions nor the masses can react in time.

I'm not sure democracy makes it to Christmas.

Antisemitic Conspiracies About George Soros Hurtle Towards Prosecution - Conspiracy Watch Billionaire financier and philanthropist Soros faces possible criminal charges in a retribution campaign redolent of antisemitism and led by Donald Trump

The framing of billionaire philanthropist George Soros as a sinister 'Deep State' mastermind echoes ancient libels of global Jewish domination. Now he faces threats of criminal charges in a campaign reeking of antisemitism.

Mort de Charlie Kirk : la faute aux Juifs, aux trans, ou aux Ukrainiens ? Dès qu’il se passe quelque chose dans le monde, on trouvera des abrutis pour accuser les Juifs. C’est un peu plus gênant quand ces crétins s’appellent Nick Fuentes, un million d’abonnés cumulés, et Jackson Hinkle, quatre millions. Ces militants numériques sont tellement suivis qu’ils sont, dans des genres différents, à l’origine de deux mouvements apparus […]

Depuis la mort de Charlie Kirk, les sphères complotistes se déchaînent pour trouver le coupable idéal. Qui remportera la palme ? Les transgenres, les francs-maçons, les Ukrainiens... ou tout simplement les Juifs ?

Musk’s X is ‘go-to platform’ for antisemitism, study finds. Ten “antisemitism influencers” accounted for 32% of all antisemitic posts. One of the accounts has 2 million followers, while others have hundreds of thousands. Let's name them! #ConspiracyWatchGlobal

Fitch has downgraded France's 🇫🇷 credit rating to its lowest ever, citing political instability and parlous public finances. Yet chaos merchants on far left+far right, and even centrists refuse all consensus on tackling the debt🏔️

Tommy Robinson’s march was a drunken, coked-up mess He claimed the world was watching, but most of London barely noticed - and much of what was on view was appalling

“A row of men lean against the metal shutters that keep them out of Westminster tube station, as they piss through the bars directly onto the steps on the other side. Nearby a furious man in his early 30s yells ‘bring the cocaine here now, mate’. It is not yet 2pm.”

I spent much of yesterday at the Tommy Robinson march. I couldn’t find a way to write about it that didn’t sound contentious and maybe even condescending – so I didn’t try. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-t...

A major issue with talking about Trump's health is that the warranted speculation gets mixed up with conspiracy theories that he faked his assassination attempt in Butler.

The WH is very good at hiding his health issues and putting down a fog of propaganda. That doesn’t mean Butler was staged.

I hope everyone pushing the "he's dead/he had a massive stroke/he can't speak/he can't stand/he's resigning/he's at Walter Reed" nonsense feels appropriately ashamed. He looks and sounds his normal level of spent.

Ah! Well, nevertheless

In France 🇫🇷 there are planned mass protests and general strikes, barely days into 'la rentrée' work/school new year. All egged on by demagogues on the extremes of the right and left, like Le Pen or Mélenchon, with evidence of direct Russian interference in the informational online war. My report ⤵️

What an insult to Iranians, Iranian women, to Salman Rushdie, to Jews. Iran and Russia sycophant and conspiracy theorist Julian Assange marching in front of a poster of murderous Tehran dictator Ayatollah Khamenei on Sydney Harbour Bridge. This isn’t about Gazan children. It’s pro-terror.

Brigitte Macron versus a far right fantasist Conspiracy theorist Candace Owens claims that France’s first lady was born a man. Now the president and his wife will face her in court

Finally! A key victim of conspiracy merchant Candace 'Kremlin' Owens is fighting back. She's called Brigitte Macron and is NOT male, even if loathsome hate peddler Owens persists in slandering her as 'The First Lady-Man' of 🇫🇷.
