HEAT WAVE DEATHS The poor, elderly, and disabled who are dying in the heat wave will be marked down as death from “natural causes.” The cause will not say “abandoned by their community.” Social murder will not be acknowledged. #ThisIsWhoWeAre

I was at the SCOTUS yesterday to hear decisions. When you can predict who wins before the justices announce the outcome just by knowing the identity of the parties & when 6-3 is the default setting,the system is broken.You could palpably feel the diminishment of the Court’s legitimacy & position.

The latest Kafkaesque “legal” assault by Israel against the Palestinians amounts to officially sanctioned lynching. Analysis by the great Stanley Cohen www.counterpunch.org/2026/04/10/i...
counterpunch.org
If Kushner Was Smart, He’d Invest in Rope: Israel’s Lynching Law for Palestinians Law
That there exist dozens of laws designed to protect and to benefit Israeli Jews to the exclusion of all other non-Jewish citizens is beyond debate; indeed it’s very much settled by the literal verse of its numerous supremacist statutes and regulations. To find tens of thousands of Palestinian political prisoners disappeared through a military “justice” system that detains them indefinitely … with children, the elderly and those in between sitting uncharged, unprosecuted, unconvicted, unsentenced, and battered and bruised, has long been the norm blinked by the Israeli civil society and its courts. Yet, with the Knesset’s most recent execution order, it cannot be denied that Israeli justice, when viewed against that of the Nazis, is not just a difference without distinction, but dispositive evidence that in Israel, once again, the dagger of the assassin is concealed beneath the robe of the jurist.
