I hope America watches at least a little bit of the arguments and are deeply embarrassed of their President. These arguments are well organized, factual, and biting. #uspol

Civil Discourse by Joyce Vance

Justice Alito

“You can hardly blame the folks who saw the flag flying at the #Alito’s home and decided it had to be brought to the Court’s attention. Surprisingly, it’s taken this long to become public. The Times reported that the half-dozen or so neighbors who were aware of it asked to remain anonymous because they “feared reprisal.” Let that sink in as we contemplate what a second #Trump term in office might look like.” #SCOTUS #USPol

“Across the country, private companies are swooping in to buy local water and sewer systems from the governments that own them. Then they jack up the prices -- forcing normal people to pay higher rates not just for the water that comes out of their faucets, but even the water that comes out of their toilets.

Only because the US is larger has the farce of municipality privatization remained less notable.

Report

"Israeli Historian Ilan Pappé - a staunch critic of Zionism - was detained & interrogated this week by FBI agents as he entered the US.

"They had a long phone conversation with someone... & after copying everything on my phone allowed me to enter."

Actions like this taken under pressure from Israel "smell of sheer panic & desperation in reaction to Israel's becoming very soon a pariah state", said Pappé.

"But after taking office and examining hundreds of pages of curriculum, Gore was shocked by what she found — and didn’t find."

"The pervasive indoctrination she had railed against simply did not exist. Children were not being sexualized, and she could find no examples of critical race theory, an advanced academic concept that examines systemic racism."

Was Taxpayer Money Used to Fly MAGA lemmings to NY?

Sen. J.D. Vance’s explanation for visiting Donald Trump during the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s hush money trial in New York drew mockery on social media.

“I was there to support a friend,” Vance (R-Ohio).

Report

Military intelligence official resigns over US support to Israel

Major Harrison Mann said his resignation was due to “moral injury” stemming from US support for Israel’s war in Gaza & the harm caused to Palestinians.

He resigned from the Defense Intelligence Agency in November, but said he "kept quiet about motives out of fear."

Report

"First Jewish Biden appointee publicly resigns over Gaza war policy"

Lily Greenberg Call has accused Biden of using Jews to justify US policy.

She is at least the fifth mid- or senior-level staffer to make their resignation public:

“The president has to know there are people in his administration who think this is disastrous. Not just for Palestinians, for Israelis, for Jews, [but also] for Americans, for [Biden’s] election prospects.”

Interview with Dr. Adam Hamawy

Surgeon & Army veteran Hamawy is trapped in Gaza after Israel closed the Rafah border crossing into Egypt.

He is among ~20 US medical workers facing, as are Gazans, dehydration & other deadly health conditions.

"It’s going to haunt all of us. … I’m here. I see it with my own eyes. At some point in time, everyone is going to see it.”

“In 1992, those whites scoring at the top of the authoritarianism scale split their two-party vote almost evenly between Bush and Clinton (51 to 49). In 2000 and 2004, the difference becomes statistically significant but still pretty small.

By 2012, those high-authoritarianism white voters went 68 to 32 for Romney over Obama. In both Trump elections it was 80 to 20 among those voters.

So from 50 Republican-50 Democrat to 80 Republican-20 Democrat in 24 years.“

Here’s the thing. While the NYT continues to frame #USPol (largely) as a story of competing radicalizations—Woke v MAGA—the collapse of liberal #democracy is a mostly one-sided affair.

We’re a divided nation insofar as 40 million Americans are now all in on neo-Fascism and the various resentments, violent fantasies, and coercive agendas it harbors.

What's the difference between an evangelical #Christian conservative and a #MAGA 'Christian' conservative?

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, and a toot can only contain 500 characters, consider the reactions of each after it became public that they secretly paid a sex worker that they did 'business' with. #USpol #TrumpTrial
