( Tomdispatch.com ) – This past weekend my partner and I got together with a group of friends. We’ve been meeting every six weeks or so since 1982. Originally, this group of lesbians convened to talk about sex: what we were doing, what we wanted to do, what we fantasized about doing. But you know […]

Donald Trump
Trump, an American Stalin? Massive Population Transfers were a Feature of Communist Dictatorship
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Trump’s proposal to ethnically cleanse Gaza of its 2.3 million Palestinians constitutes a profound reversal of post-1945 U.S. norms, which condemned such mass relocations of indigenous populations. It is the sort of thing Soviet dictator Josef Stalin used to do, and Trump has to decide if he wants his legacy […]
A Hostile Corporate Takeover of our Democracy
Never before has one billionaire so thoroughly infiltrated our government and bent it to their will for personal gain. By Alex Jacquez, Elizabeth Pancotti ( Otherwords.org) – Befitting a presidency inaugurated by a parade of tech billionaires, President Trump has taken Mark Zuckerberg’s infamous “move fast and break things” approach to the opening weeks of […]
Trump’s reversal of Climate Policies risks undermining U.S. Manufacturing — and could cost people Jobs
By Thomas Stuart, University of Victoria (The Conversation) – United States President Donald Trump’s early executive actions have set American manufacturing on a collision course with his administration’s fossil-fuel-driven agenda. It’s clear that climate change policies run counter to his vision of American primacy. Trump wasted no time reversing the green initiatives of his predecessor, […]
Are we All Hungarians now, or Palestinians? Trump’s Onslaught on the Rule of Law and Civil Liberties
Oakland, Ca. (Special to Informed Comment; Feature) – Most of (convicted felon) Donald Trump’s Executive Orders are brazenly unconstitutional, and stand to be reversed in Court rulings by thoughtful, law-abiding judges. But the red elephants in the room are the sycophantic, compliant judges he appointed during his last term such as Aileen Cannon of Florida. […]
Making America great again by ethnically Cleansing the Palestinian People
By Mohammad Makram Balawi | – US President Donald Trump’s remarks about his call with the king of Jordan and his suggestion that Amman should take in Palestinians from Gaza reflect clear ignorance of the nature of the Palestinian issue and the political history of the region. Trump failed to understand that the Palestinians who […]
“People Will Die”: The Trump Administration Said It Lifted Its Ban on Lifesaving Humanitarian Aid in Sudan, Yemen, etc. That’s Not True
By Brett Murphy and Anna Maria Barry-Jester | – ( ProPublica ) – On Friday morning, the staffers at a half dozen U.S.-funded medical facilities in Sudan who care for severely malnourished children had a choice to make: Defy President Donald Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations or let up to 100 babies and […]
An Act of National Suicide
( Tomdispatch.com ) – And that’s something we humans seem to have a genuine knack for these days. If you don’t believe me, just consider those record-setting burned-out areas around Los Angeles. Admittedly, that was Nature (with a capital N), but given a grim helping hand by You Know Who. You can thank big oil, big coal, and […]
The cracks in MAGA: the American right is divided over the Middle East
by Nasim Ahmed ( Middle East Monitor ) – Donald Trump’s return to the White House marked a new chapter in US politics, but it also exposed a growing split within the coalition that brought him back to power. The ideological fault line runs deep, cutting through the heart of the Republican Party’s foreign policy, […]
