I think a lot about Obama promising in 2003 to push Medicare For All as soon as Dems had the White House & Congress - and then his first health care decision as president was deploying aides to tell America that Medicare For All would not be even discussed in the ACA debate.

Security cam footage shows Oklahoma City police officer Joseph Gibson murdering elderly cancer patient Lich Vu in front of his wife. Criminal assault charges against Gibson were dismissed after he claimed Vu resisted arrest and fell.

The Supreme Court just echoed the Abundance book in a new ruling advancing a fossil fuel industry plan to run oil trains right next to the Colorado River.

One derailment could permanently destroy 40 million Americans' drinking water source.

Abundance!

San Antonio sure is lovely this time of year

The LAPD has informed me that their community meeting is no longer open to the community, and that the meeting will be done via zoom, but the public will not be able to access it.

A completely secret meeting.

"Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Chicago Police Department is operating a CIA-style black site on the city’s West Side...The facility, a warehouse known as Homan Square, also houses military-style vehicles..." https://t.co/4t5gDfzzbH

The Justice Dept dropping federal corruption charges against Eric Adams while the state pushes felony charges carrying up to 7 years in prison against students protesting CUNY’s funding of genocide should tell you one thing: the enforcement of laws is always a political choice

Exclusive: Internal emails show VADOC staff discussing how best to punish prisoners who set themselves on fire, including criminal prosecutions and charging them thousands of dollars for their medical treatment. https://t.co/aWt5sjUrfw

The ongoing bird-flu disaster in the US is blowing my mind. They're causing a new pandemic, scientists have been jumping up and down for almost a year yelling DO SOMETHING, but no one listens.

The D.A. admitting a for-profit insurance company is part of the government is a mask off moment for the system. Luigi Mangione’s indictment basically confirms that the state exists to serve corporate power, which is precisely what fascism is.

Most of the people who worked on the Bernie campaign have been ostracized by Democratic Party operatives, shadowbanned by elite media, and vilified by legions of MSNBC addicts.

And now *gestures wildly at the wreckage* here we are.

@Mont_Jiang @todistetta East/west have way too divergent views on the root cause of terrorism.

[msl @mia_s_li]

@Mont_Jiang @todistetta No Chinese analyst would dare to deny China’s complicity in GWOT—evidence is everywhere

[msl @mia_s_li]

@Mont_Jiang @zaft_op9 This paints a good pic of the dynamic back then-both China and Russia enthusiastic, but US favored Russia coz its militarily more useful: https://t.co/A4Q2o7nUbS

[msl @mia_s_li]

@Mont_Jiang @zaft_op9 This is a tale as old as time: US takes an interest in a region—countries think they can piggyback on US providing security with minimal cost to them—US abandons project—countries realize they have to do diplomacy after all. Rinse and repeat.

[msl @mia_s_li]

@Mont_Jiang To my knowledge China was a full partner in the US GWOT in the early 00’s. Its diplomacy muscle was way too weak to resist. Maybe there was pushback I don’t know of. But China was foolishly a full backer in my memory.

Breaking: a pro-Palestine camp in Dortmund, western Germany was banned by the police after they were told Greta Thunberg was going to visit.

"Recent events surrounding Thunberg have led to the assesment that she is a possibly violent [gewaltbereit] participant."

[Alexander Aviña @Alexander_Avina]

“…whether discussing infectious disease, national borders, or safety in the home, narratives of invasion are a mainstream press-aided, bipartisan affair—and, as George Carlin succinctly put it, “Bipartisan usually means that a larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.”
