And they call this brutal, genocidal, Jewish supremacist, settler colonial and apartheid state the “only democracy” in the Middle East.
How absurd!
Five million Palestinians living under Israeli occupation cannot vote in today’s Israeli elections. Yet the government those elections produce will wield power over their lives—and they will bear the horrific consequences of its decisions without any voice in choosing it.
This is the reality of 🇮🇱 apartheid: 59 years of 🇮🇱 military occupation, absolute power without accountability, without freedom, without justice or basic rights.
5 million Palestinians are denied a voice in their own future.

A message to those who still believe that it all started on October 7. No, it didn't. A 'managed genocide', to keep 1.5 million Palestinians "on the edge of life" was in force years before. Read the latest report by Eyal Weizman:
"A military document called ‘Red Lines’ set the minimum number of calories required to sustain Gaza’s population at a level just above the UN definition of hunger (2100 calories a day for men, 1700 for women and a varying amount for children depending on gender and age). The total number of calories was translated into the tonnage required to feed Gaza’s then population of 1.5 million and thus the number of aid trucks allowed into the territory. The same went for megawatts of electricity and litres of fuel and water. What was seen as good behaviour was rewarded by an increase in the amounts coming in, any acts of resistance by the tightening of the siege, like a population-scale version of a Milgram experiment."

This is deeply troubling.
We just learned that Pete Hegseth’s Spiritual Advisor said that “separation of church and state does not exist”
Pete Hegseth is a threat to American democracy and must be fired immediately.

18 U.S.C. § 592 is a law enacted by Congress that prohibits federal or military officials from ordering, bringing, or keeping troops or 'armed men' at any place where an election is being held. In some cases, federal officials can monitor an election, but that is all they are allowed to do. Let's follow the law and vote.
A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that Bill Essayli is unlawfully serving as Los Angeles’ top federal prosecutor and ordered him disqualified from overseeing two criminal cases, rejecting the Justice Department’s latest effort to preserve his authority.

What is ridiculous is the frivolous charges by a DOJ that has been weaponized to go after anyone who has exposed Trump’s lawlessness, and corruption. That is why Trump’s vendetta campaign has failed again and again and again, even in front of Trump-appointed right wing judges.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois.
Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money.
Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.
