"why don't you focus on your own country?" is the dumbest attempt at shutting down criticism of america. maybe when you cunts stop putting military bases everywhere and trying to micromanage the entirety of global politics. do you not think people would fucking love to not have to think about america for 5 minutes?

"Why does a 15-minute visit with a doctor cost 150 bucks in America???" you're gonna want to read Money-Driven Medicine, by Maggie Mahar, and probably also The Social Transformation of American Medicine, to answer that question. It is not because your doctor is a greedy bastard; your doctor does not see most of that money. It is because the system is broken to a level that is truly impressive in its dedication to making a shit ton of money for insurance company executives and shareholders.

Okay, maybe I haven't studied any political theory, but hear me out:

Failing to prosecute treason sets a dangerous precedent

Every country prosecutes former leaders and officials that break the law.

While police around the country are raiding campuses and brutalizing student protesters, the authorities are once again trotting out narratives about "outside agitators."

They do this whenever a movement gets out of their control. It is one of the most basic tactics in their playbook, and they employ it indiscriminately.

As we wrote in 2014, during the demonstrations in Ferguson in response to the murder of Michael Brown,

"Rhetoric about 'outside agitators' is a military operation intended to isolate and target an enemy: divide and conquer. The enemy that the authorities are aiming at is predominantly black and brown, but it is not just a specific social body; it is also an aspect of our humanity, a part of all of us. The ultimate goal of the police is not so much to brutalize and pacify specific individuals as it is to extract rebelliousness itself from the social fabric. They seek to externalize agitation, so anyone who stands up for herself will be seen as an outsider."

🚨 Students at Harvard University launched an encampment in support of Gaza in Harvard Yard moments ago, calling for an end to Harvard's moral and material complicity in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Harvard has invested over $200 million of its over $51 billion endowment in companies with ties to zionist settlements in the West Bank, while most of its investments to the zionist entity are kept secret.

The students are demanding financial transparency regarding investments related to the zionist entity, as well as genocide and occupation in Palestine; divestment from these investments and reinvestment in Palestine; and dropping all charges against student activists.

The University has suppressed student voices in support of Palestine time and time again, suspending the Palestine Solidarity Committee just this week on baseless grounds. They have also enabled attacks on pro-Palestinian students from the media and politicians. Today, the students say enough is enough, and that they will no longer tolerate their institution's support for genocide.

This brings the number of ongoing encampments to 19, with more to come.

““The decision to jettison McDaniel’s preparations for a robust ground game that was similar in scope and strategy to the RNC’s efforts to boost Trump in 2016 and 2020 appears to have originated at the top,” said the report. “Trump repeatedly told McDaniel in conversations before he pushed her out of the chairmanship that he did not need the RNC to focus on ‘get-out-the-vote’ activities. Rather, knowledgeable Republican sources told us, the former president informed McDaniel he wanted the committee to prioritize 'election integrity’ efforts.””

GOP’s 2024 ‘ground game’ in limbo after Trump’s MAGA coup

Shitler and his allies know they can’t win this election, so they aren’t even trying. They’re going to put their money, their resources, and all of their energy into stealing the election by using violence and corruption.

It’s concerning that I can see this, just by following where they are spending their money and where they are putting their dwindling resources, yet none of the national media or dedicated political reporters are even talking about it.

Israel has deployed auto-firing quadcopters that emit the sounds of crying babies.

There is no possible reality where this is in any way capable of being passed off as self-defense. It was never self-defense. It is, and always has been, a genocide.

Crying babies. Crying babies. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, meant to draw out and kill civilians while also making it far more difficult to locate and aid children who are trapped or alone.

If you have money to spare, please consider donating to some of the fundraisers on Operation Olive Branch to help people escape this genocide.

End the occupation. Free Palestine.

When he complained about missing Baron's high school graduation, I saw that someone dug up that he'd never been to any of his other kids' high school graduations.

I hope someone checks into what he usually does on his wife's birthday.

Trump says he would rather spend the day with Melania for her birthday but he has to be in court.

Trump is literally in court because he enjoyed cheating on Melania.

I hope no one was unaware that this might happen.

Chris Hayes on the Trump immunity arguments: “The conservative justices seemed to be almost openly colluding with Donald Trump, reconceptualizing the president as a sort of lawless dictator and just ignoring all constitutional, textual, and historical evidence that points in the other direction.” Jamelle Bouie joins to discuss.
