This is insanity: Trump's DOJ is about to "settle" his lawsuit against the IRS by creating a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off victims of Biden "weaponization." I talked to Jamie Raskin about this. It's even more corrupt than it first appears. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Trump’s $10 Billion Shakedown of IRS Takes Unnervingly Corrupt Turn
The president’s “settlement” with the IRS appears set to give him a slush fund of $1.7 billion to dole out to allies. How unconstitutional is it? Jamie Raskin counts the ways.

I know it shouldn’t surprise me, but watching the other panelists just smugly waive away Trump’s brazen fraud after years of ranting about Hunter Biden is something to behold. Not an ounce of shame or principle in their entire being.

Jefferson argues that transgender women's overrepresentation in her Southern dataset reflects the intersection of racism and transphobia in regions historically shaped by racial terror.The mechanisms she describes are bureaucratic as much as they are violent: crime scenes left unsecured, witnesses uninterviewed for days, cause of death determinations entered before investigators have spoken to anyone in the house.

Today, Palestinians around the world remember the Nakba – “the catastrophe” in Arabic – the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948, when more than 750,000 people were driven from their homes and hundreds of villages and towns were erased. (1/5)

The people of Iran pose no threat to the United States — this has always been an oil war at the behest of the 1%. Now, Trump is threatening genocide over it. Where is the leadership from Carney to denounce this illegal war? Where is the pressure from provincial leaders?

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

$200 billion a year would enable a universal basic income of about $500/mo. That would essentially abolish severe poverty in America. Poverty would drop by about a third, and because the downstream costs of poverty are about $3 TRILLION a year, that would be a return on investment of $800B a year.

I went to a college and grew up in a congregation where we were taught to Bible was the inerrant word of God. My peers would often suggest I was liberal on economic & social issues because I was less religious than them. I wondered if we read the same Bible. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...
Matthew 25:41-46 (NIV)

41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, ! was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink
43 | was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, 1 was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.!
44 "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45 "He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me!
46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

The Trump regime has no idea what it’s doing hour to hour, just in case you thought there was some grand strategy in Iran
According to the officials, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright gave his counterparts in the Group of Seven nations the White House's position
Tuesday morning: A massive intervention in oil markets was premature because the price of oil had recently dipped below $90 a barrel.
Less than two hours later, U.S. officials reversed their earlier position and pushed their
counterparts for a major release of oil, said people familiar with the matter. The 180 degree turn was entirely due to a change of heart by President Trump, said a senior administration official.

I want to underscore how INCREDIBLY racist “we went too far”/“racism is over” takes are. The quiet part of that statement is: current racialized disparities represent the natural distribution of opportunities, talent, and resources between racial groups. It is white supremacist, bell curve shit

Iftar, Day 19
For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage.
A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.
Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.
Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.In a dining room, five people eat, chat and smile around a table of food.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
