ICE arrested a 56-year old green card holder, i.e. a lawful permanent resident, and detained him in the Rio Grande Processing Center, where he died. https://t.co/hpxt0mFwsE

I think we should understand this astroturf campaign to exempt the old from taxation for what it is: as the labor share declines, a larger and larger slice of output is earned by the old. "Retirement" here is simply a proxy for "earns capital income, which should never be taxed."

Israel (not AIPAC, the state) is running ads in Iowa to promote the benefits of the Iran War weeks before an election where a Democrat is running against the war and a Republican favors it

Media is almost totally silent!

After years of Russia investigations, they shrug it off

In Maine, Michigan and Minnesota we are watching the Democratic Establishment’s hand picked candidates lose and then either actively or passively undermine the party and or their nominee. This is an abject failure by the Democratic leadership.

Yesterday, Israel’s official X account published a lengthy statement trying to cast doubt on the irrefutable evidence that Israeli assailants brutally beat an American journalist. Less than 24 hours later, it had to do the same thing again, this time over the brutal assault on European diplomats.

the thing about pulling off a false flag is that it takes some sophistication and finesse and these people have none of either

Is everyone in the DNC consultant sphere so incompetent that im learning McMorrow made hot wheels like months after the election ended

ICE is hiring 142 intelligence contractors with top secret clearances to collect and analyze information to inform raid targets. "It looks dangerously like the construction of an internal spying agency," said an ACLU official. https://t.co/rzvDDvdHSt

To be clear a ICE ran down a man on foot who has been in the United States for the last 34 years since he was 14. They broke both his legs and he wasn’t the person they were looking for. Terrorist organization

Interesting* data showing how the most antisemitic group of UK voters (Reform) is also the most pro-Zionist, while the least antisemitic of UK voters (Greens) is the least pro-Zionist

Worth remember that price inflation in the USA is driven above all by the complete lack of federal, state, & local enforcement of laws against anticompetitive, monopolistic business practices -- stratagems to which capitalists will constantly resort if not regulated by the state.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Once again. Just like the Paramount Merger Gavin Newsom does what he always does. Sells out the working class people for the billionaires again and again. Not only that but endorses a bill that will make it impossible to tax the wealthy at all.

The CIA man running the Nazi ratline to Canada: “A career CIA officer, McManus worked with the organization from its creation in 1947 until 1970, when he retired and moved to apartheid South Africa for three years. 
In the early 1960s, McManus was involved in Operation Mongoose”

Why are hotels so expensive? A new lawsuit alleges that travel website Expedia is rigging the entire market, exploiting its leverage over 80% of all online bookings to inflate hotel prices in every booking channel by 15-30%.

It's an economy-wide price fixing scheme, not unlike what Amazon does to retail. /

Oscar Belgal is in solitary confinement at MDC after he was shot by ICE on Thursday.

His lawyers say he “urgently needs surgery.”

“A bullet remains lodged in his neck, the left side of his face is numb, and he can barely hear out of his left ear.”

Internal emails shows the Biden state department was referring to what happened to me as “kidnapping” by IDF - and even then they didn’t say a single thing publicly.

One thing all New Yorkers can agree on is that neither ICE nor DHS get to decide who is a New Yorker and who is not. Fuck outta here
