@FmrRepMTG So under full AIPAC control, the AIPAC controlled Senate can’t pass the Save America Act for election integrity. AIPAC needs to be able to steal seats, like Thomas Massie's, ensuring they keep the super majority in Congress.

Marlin Stutzman Violated 18 U.S.C. § 219 by Acting as Israel’s Foreign Agent

- May 27: Met with Netanyahu in Israel
- June 1: Netanyahu thanks Stutzman in a letter for endorsing HIS PLAN for US-Israel deal in a House Resolution
- June 3: Stutzman introduces US-Israel Cooperation Resolution which states it’s Netanyahu’s initiative
- June 3: DailyWire reports Stutzman introduced the resolution after his meeting with Netanyahu

The Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) states a Foreign Agent is "an individual/group who agrees to operate within the US subject to the direction of a foreign gov or official

18 U.S.C. § 219 directly prohibits Members of the House of Representatives (and other public officials) from acting as agents of foreign principals.

The House voted today on a new measure to fuse elements of the Israeli and US militaries, particularly on the cyberweapons front. Section 224, as its known, is included in the National Defense Authorization Act. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced an amendment to strip it from the bill. Watch as a stream of Republicans and Democrats stand up in support of the enhanced cooperation. Only Rep. Sarah Jacobs (D-Calif.) joined Khanna, and the measure failed in a voice vote. Watch:

The genocide seems unstoppable,
Necrocapitalism seems invincible- but they are not!

All we need is UNITY. COORDINATION. PERSEVERANCE.

Keep Protesting. Striking. Boycotting. Litigating.

Not just once.

I’ve talked with a lot of neighbors while organizing since Jan surge & out of 80+ folks,no one wants Amy for governor. She needs to return her AIPAC funds & denounce them.

Hāhona Ormsby, a New Zealand citizen and Gaza flotilla activist, said an Israeli soldier detaining him told him: “I’m a crazy MF. I’m going to hurt you every minute you’re with me.”

Over roughly two hours, he said the soldier largely kept that promise: punching him repeatedly, knocking him unconscious, and running his head into a wall during a strip search.

Ormsby said the soldier approached him naked with a taser, stating he would taser his genitals. A second man, not in uniform, intervened, before the soldier struck him in the genitals instead.

Ormsby said he was urinating blood that night. He also described having his cable-tied hands placed over a chair while the soldier punched him in the stomach and kneed him in the back, aggravating a prior spinal fusion injury.

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.

One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.

Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.

You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.

The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.

And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.

To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.

You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.

Enjoy.

As someone living under a US-backed dictatorship, I can tell you this is how it begins. 2 years and 21 State of Exceptions later, we’re ruled by perpetual martial law with Pentagon bombs, sexual torture, military checkpoints, activists starved, waterboarded or disappeared by soldiers. A little DEA operation turns into the opening of an entire FBI Office in our capital, the military killing protesters at a general strike turned into targeted assassination plots on indigenous labor activists, a few visits from a U.S. Envoy turns into U.S. boots-on-the-ground operations where campesinos are electrocuted. Ecuador has lived all of this already: the hijacking of a once socialist nation literally beat into a Yankee colony. We cannot let it happen to our sister nation of Bolivia too.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

There is not a single mention of Gaza in the 192 page DNC autopsy report. As someone who campaigned in Michigan and Wisconsin, let me tell you- one of the main reasons we lost was our blank check to Israel while they committed a genocide.

Our party must put human rights first.

BREAKING:

Israel just executed Ahmed Hariri in South Lebanon.

He was a paramedic. And a journalist.

Israel deliberately assassinated him in a double tap strike while he was rescuing the wounded.

They drop bombs on civilians. They wait. Then they drop bombs on the rescuers.

Hello 👋 Many friends have asked me about the significance about this Supreme Court ruling on Cuba 🇨🇺.

“Why,” they ask, “would a US court ruling matter for a foreign country – with its own laws, and its own institutions?”

The answer is simple — if you follow Marco Rubio’s imperial logic to its conclusion.

So let’s break it down ⏬

The US is right now preparing to invade Cuba, where it hopes to reintroduce the colonial dynamic that defined the US-Cuban relationship for decades.

What does that mean in practice? It means dividing the spoils of the island between Cuban-American counter-revolutionaries & US corporations.

Beachfront property, rural farms, industrial capacity — all of it. That is the prize — and the real motivation — for Rubio’s invasion.

Why does this matter for US citizens on the other side of the border? 🧐

Because after invasion — and after six decades of punishing economic sanctions — the US plans to pummel Cuba with cash.

Sounds good, right? 🤑 Nope! I can guarantee you that this money will not go to ordinary Cubans.

And here we come back to the Supreme Court ruling.

The ruling basically means that all the “charitable” cash the US injects into the island will immediately leave again — fleeing into the hands of the ultra-wealthy domiciled abroad.

Through cases at the US Supreme Court, those “exiles” will be awarded huge payments out of Cuban coffers — only serving to impoverish further a population that has already suffered so much under US siege.

What is the lesson? 🙇‍♂️ Well, mine is that we must always read US law through the broader analytical prism of our imperial project — a project that does not provide for justice, but rather paves the way for the plunder of foreign nations close and far.

Cuba is no exception. On the contrary, after over a century of US efforts to secure colonial control of the island, Cuba is the paradigmatic case that proves the rule.

Israel is now dropping bombs on hospitals in South Lebanon.

Not military targets.

Hospitals.

This isn’t a “ceasefire.”

It’s a war crime.
