It is not anti-Semitic to want equal rights for all in Jerusalem, in Tel Aviv, in Gaza, in Ramallah.

Trump set up the cameras, the podium, the flags — then canceled his own bipartisan housing bill signing because he'd rather hold the country hostage over a voter suppression bill. And that's just the beginning. Your midday update is here: www.meidasplus.com/p/wednesday-...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
