Victims Without Victimizers: How Corporate Democrats Led to the Trump Era
( Tomdispatch.com ) – The human condition includes a vast array of unavoidable misfortunes. But what about the preventable ones? Shouldn’t the United States provide for the basic needs of its people? Such questions get distinctly short shrift in the dominant political narratives. When someone can’t make ends meet and suffers dire consequences, the mainstream […]
Trump pushing Allies to Buy US Gas is bad Economics and a Climate Catastrophe
By Christoph Nedopil, Griffith University (The Conversation) – The price of partnership with the United States has changed.

Our Fourth Amendment Rights Are Endangered Like Never Before
Trump is trying to disappear the part of the Constitution that stops the government from searching your house — or seizing you — without a warrant. By Mitchell Zimmerman | ( Otherwords.org ) – Suppose the police want to get illegal drugs off the streets. So they begin stopping pedestrians at gunpoint, shoving them against […]
The Trump Administration’s steps toward a Military Occupation of America
( Tomdispatch.com ) – Earlier this month, President Donald Trump threatened to unleash the armed forces on more American cities during a rambling address to top military brass. He told the hundreds of generals and admirals gathered to hear him that some of them would be called upon to take a primary role at a […]
“You Cannot fight the World:” The Hidden Meaning behind Trump’s Warning to Israel
( Middle East Monitor ) – A single, candid statement by US President Donald Trump during a Fox News interview on 9 October may illuminate the true calculus behind Israel’s decision for a ceasefire in Gaza, following a relentless, two-year genocidal campaign that has tragically killed and wounded nearly a quarter of a million Palestinians.
