Trump and his whole gang need to go! Why the Supreme Court ever granted him immunity is beyond me. Is it so he could make ads and charge the taxpayer? What a crook!

Will the increasing disparity between the rich and everyone else lead eventually to revolution? It always has before. Take France in 1789. Or Russia in 1917.

The president was not supposed to have the power that Trump (or any other chief executive) has. Power is supposed to rest in Congress. The tension between the interests ( now parties) is supposed to keep power from being overly concentrated in any particular interest. Congress has power of the purse

A few years ago the prediction was that demographics meant that the Republicans would increasingly be in the minority. But election denying is the response to this fact. Undermine our confidence in election integrity, deny any result that doesn’t go your way and viola! You eliminate the truth.

How the hell is anyone supposed to know that it is ICE who is trying to stop you? They are in unmarked cars or SUVs, no flashing lights, no markings on their cars, no sirens, nothing to identify them. Why should anyone stop for them? Oh, because they kill you if you don’t stop!

Apparently Israel is using the same strategy on the Palestinians that we used on the Indians: steal their land, kill them, and put them on reservations. Worked for us!

So, if we can’t be threatened by countries armed with nuclear weapons and hostile to us guess that means first and foremost Russia and China, not Iran. That is the enemy of all, but especially of Israel.

What were the goons who murdered Alex Pretti even doing in that street before they killed him? Just looking for someone to bully? Like the woman they pushed down and that Alex tried to help, so they murdered him.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social When will you admit that Israel believes “the only good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian.” Their government is engaged in obvious ethnic cleansing and p policy of starving the people of Gaza while allowing random killing of Palestinians on the West Bank.

November 1, 1970 - New York Times advertisement by the Committee of Black Americans for Truth about the Middle-East: AN APPEAL BY BLACK AMERICANS AGAINST UNITED STATES SUPPORT OF THE ZIONIST GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL The entire article is in link below: www.blackforpalestine.com/1970-black-n...
AN APPEAL BY BLACK AMERICANS
AGAINST UNITED STATES SUPPORT OF THE ZIONIST GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL

WE,
the Black American signatories of this advertisement are in
complete solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters, who like us, are struggling for self-determination and an end to racist oppression. • --The recent bloodbath in Jordan, resulting in tens of thousands of dead and wounded Palestinians, would not have been possible without the encouragement, armaments and financial aid of the United States Gov-s ernment!
America's support for King Hussein's slaughter of Palestinian refus gees and freedom-fighters is consistent with its support of reactionary dictatorships throughout the world-from Cambodia and Vietnam to South Africa, Greece and Iran.
We stand with the Palestinian people in their efforts to preserve their revolution, and oppose its attempted destruction by American Imperialism aided by Zionists and Arab reactionaries.
WE STATE that we are not anti-Jewish. We are anti-Zionist and against the Zionist State of Israel, the outpost of American Imperialism in the Middle East. Zionism is a reactionary racist ideology that justifies..

The brutal killing of Palestinian American citizen Sayfollah Musallet while visiting family in the West Bank is a tragedy, and one that deserves a full investigation, answers, and accountability. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.
