Antizionism isn't antisemitism. The very old notion that Israel secretly controls the U.S. *is.* White supremacists call it "ZOG," "Zionist Occupation Gov't." It's *not* antizionism. Such tired bigotry is most useful to the fascist Israeli regime, which uses it to deflect from its real crimes.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August. A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

Not one but two scary things here. First, most obviously: 100 million. Close to a 1/3 of U.S. now deemed not-American. Yes, it's trolling. Yes, AND. Second: It's simultaneously a nod toward an old imaginary white US, & an emptied out post-apocalypse. It's acknowledging the ambition is cataclysm.

As you read both the Jack Smith testimony about Trump inciting the Jan 6 terrorist attack and the WSJ report on Trump providing young women to Jeffrey Epstein it reminds us that Donald Trump should right now be in a prison cell--where he would remain for the rest of his unnatural life!

On Jack Smith deposition, now released: 100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning. Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print. What Smith says is far more incriminating.

Excerpt from Jack Smith deposition:

For nearly three decades I have been a career prosecutor. I have served during both Republican and Democratic administrations and I've been guided by those principles in every role I've held. I continued to honor those principles when I was appointed to serve as special counsel in November of 2022.

The decision to bring charges against President Trump was mine, but the basis for those charges rests entirely with President Trump and his actions, as alleged in the indictments returned by grand juries in two different districts.

Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power.

Our investigation also developed powerful evidence that showed that President Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January of 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a ballroom and a bathroom. He then repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued retention of those documents.

I remain grateful for the counsel, judgment, and advice of my team as I executed my responsibilities. I am both saddened and angered that President Trump has sought revenge against career prosecutors, FBI agents, and support staff simply for doing their jobs and for having worked on those cases.
