The United States was founded by wealthy slaveowners. The Constitution/government was deliberately set up to protect the wealthy ruling minority from the toiling working majority. In 1913, Charles Beard told us about the financial interests that guided this new ruling class in

Journalist @MaxBlumenthal confronts Secretary of State Blinken during his farewell address to the State Department press corps:
“Why did you allow the Holocaust of our time to happen? How does it feel to have your legacy be genocide?”

Blumenthal also called out spokesperson Matt Miller:
“You too, Matt. You smirked through the whole thing. Every day. You smirked through a genocide.”

I believe that one great movie can change the world. FROM GROUND ZERO: STORIES FROM GAZA is that movie. You are that audience.

If you live near any one of the theaters scattered across the country showing this incredible film this weekend, GO SEE IT. Bear witness to this work of art by these 22 artists imprisoned in Gaza and see the Palestinian people for who they are.

They are taxi drivers and mothers, toddlers and teachers, comedians and artists — finding ways to survive. To feed their families. To bathe their children. To retain a sense of self and normality. To bring joy to their community. To keep warm at night. To keep hope alive…

@ConceptualJames Just want to note, if you’re PRO corporate socialism then you actually are an anti-capitalist.

Capitalism in its purest form says if a business fails (like Bear Sterns, Booze Allen, JP Morgan, etc etc), it’s because IT NEEDS TO. No bailouts or PPP loans. Lol

Have they fixed those water pipes in Jackson, Mississippi yet?
Have they rebuilt the homes for the people in Lahaina, Hawaii yet?
Have they started to rebuild homes in Asheville, North Carolina yet?
Have they replaced the pipes in Flint, Michigan yet?
Have they cleaned up the chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio yet?

If you live in California and have suffered from the fires... I have bad news for you.

But at least Ukraine and Israel got money! Right?

It is deeply disappointing that H.R. 23 passed the House of Representatives, which would permit U.S. sanctions on staff of the ICC, an independent judicial institution dedicated to combating impunity for the gravest crimes known to humanity. The ICC is part of a global system of international justice of which the U.S. was a chief architect at Nuremberg and beyond. If the Senate follows suit, it will do grave harm to the interests of all victims globally and to the U.S. government’s ability to champion human rights and the cause of justice. https://t.co/wuxDgHnD9M

No filmmaker, writer or artist should ever have to tell the story of their own extermination. Yet 22 courageous Palestinian filmmakers found a way to film their story this past year in Gaza using whatever tools they could pull from the rubble of their homes and cities. The extraordinary film FROM GROUND ZERO — for which I am proud to be an Executive Producer — is the collection of these short films, told all together in under 2 hours. The fact that this film exists at all is a human and cinematic miracle. Go see FROM GROUND ZERO — in theaters now!

BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi and her husband appear to have used unreported $28 million in Covid pandemic grants to make their personal investments in a hotel profit, per RealClearInvestigations.

The two of its investors in the Auberge du Soleil, a five-star hillside hotel and spa.

The Auberge du Soleil investment, held for decades by Paul Pelosi, has rarely turned a significant profit, until 2021.

Then, Pelosi’s private holdings, such as the Auberge du Soleil resort, received upwards of $28 million in pandemic-related taxpayer funds, including the PPP, the COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan, and a special grant program for restaurants.

For example, the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, one of the additional programs launched by the new round of pandemic spending, provided $5 million to the Auberge du Soleil in June 2021.

The first PPP loan, awarded the previous year, provided $2.9 million – helping the Pelosis earn millions on an investment that has rarely turned a significant profit, according to Nancy’s ethics disclosures.

This is unusual.
