Never forget (nor forgive) that the legal framework that #Trump is using to criminalize protests and deport people was written and voted, among others, by Joseph "Genocide" Biden. Not only the Domestic Terrorism laws he passed as president, it goes all the way back to the Oklahoma City Bombings and the Patriot Act.

Report: "We operate a sub-army of slaves"

The Israeli army uses Gazans "at least six times a day" as human shields ("shawishes")

In "this insane, unofficial procedure.... almost every platoon keeps a ‘shawish’, and no infantry force enters a house before a ‘shawish’ clears it.

"This means there are four ‘shawishes’ in a company, twelve in a battalion, and at least 36 in a brigade."

Report: "Only thing they’re hiding at this point is that this was the plan all along."

“They’ll call it the ‘Trump plan,’ but Israel’s deliberate destruction of Gaza – the demolition of hospitals, water treatment plants, entire neighborhoods – was designed to render Gaza uninhabitable, and leave no alternative but mass displacement.”

Starvation as a weapon of war occurs when food supplies are obstructed by warring parties.

Starvation as a weapon is not only a war crime, but it may also qualify as a method of extermination.

Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court defines extermination as “the intentional infliction of conditions of life, inter alia the deprivation of access to food and medicine, calculated to bring about the destruction of part of a population.”

Why is DEI used by MAGA as an excuse to purge the accomplishments and resilience of POC from history books and museums?

Why are histories of white supremacy so objectionable to MAGA?

Because these aspects of history are more than objectionable; they are unfathomable. Literally unthinkable.

If MAGA were to accept what scholars know about America's past, it would cost them the whole basis of their self-image. It would require them to relinquish their superiority.

This boils my blood. I don't know the US labour history, but I do know how hard public sector workers in Canada and Alberta had to fight to gain collective bargaining rights, which they were not allowed because they were "civil servants".

All public worker strikes were wildcat strikes and illegal until 1967 when Federal workers gained the right to collective bargaining through the Public Service Staff Relations Act which took 2 years to pass through Parliament after the wildcat Postal Workers Strike of 1965.

Federal government employees responded by joining unions in record numbers.

Public sector workers in Alberta did not gain these rights until 2016, when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that ALL Canadian workers have the fundamental right to strike, essential to even the playing field between workers and employers.

That hasn't even been 10 years ago, that our Provincial healthcare workers, education workers, social workers, wildlife workers, custodial workers, and many more have had access to such basic fundamental rights to legal collective job action! You may not have realized that all these strikes you are seeing now are history in the making!

We are living out a struggle for the right of the working-class to SURVIVE.

It breaks my heart to see our fallen comrades losing this fight with such desperation to the south, and makes me fearful of the coming storm we will have to face in Canada as our populist shadow government pushes to put us down in Canada.

#Trump takes aim at foreign-born college students, with 300 visas revoked

Some students have been picked up off the street by immigration agents and held in detention centers, sometimes a thousand miles away from their homes, with little warning

By Daniella Silva, Chloe Atkins, Julia Ainsley and Abigail Williams, March 27, 2025

"Secretary of State #MarcoRubio said Thursday the State Department has revoked 300 or more #StudentVisas, as the White House increasingly targets foreign-born students whose main transgression seems to be #activism.

"Rubio warned that the administration was looking out for 'these lunatics.' Around the country, #scholars have been picked up, in some cases by masked immigration agents, and held in #DetentionCenters, sometimes a thousand miles from their homes with little warning and often with few details about why they were being detained.

"'It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas,' Rubio said at a news conference in Guyana, where he was meeting with leaders.

"Many of those rounded up by Trump officials attended or were part of the pro-Palestinian movement that swept college campuses last year, and while the administration hasn’t said publicly why these students are being singled out over others, at least one sought by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appeared on lists made by far-right pro-Israel groups as targets for deportation.

"And Trump allies, many in government again, telegraphed for months before he took office that they’d seek to deport students who openly advocated for Hamas or other U.S.-designated terrorist groups or after they participated in an unauthorized campus #protest and were suspended, expelled or jailed.

"The detentions are a signal of a broader effort by President Donald Trump to clamp down on the actions of legal permanent residents, student visa holders and others who live and work legally in the United States, one that threatens to undermine a fundamental American right to #FreeSpeech and to assemble, experts and advocates said."

So well put by George Monbiot. Applies to our tepid Labor government here in Australia too. People don’t want to be regarded only as economic units, and if you block leftist reform they reach for hard-right chaos.

"The democratic recession does not begin when a far-right party takes office. It begins when a centrist party crushes hope in democracy. When Keir Starmer’s government takes a chainsaw to people’s aspirations for a fairer, greener, kinder country, he cuts off not just faith in the Labour party but faith in politics itself. The almost inevitable result, as countries from the US to the Netherlands, Argentina to Austria, Italy to Sweden show, is to let the far right in."

Deep dive into Musk and associates' history gets dark and darker. A cabal of white South African refugees that reformed in the United States, acquired (more) wealth through various underhanded means and moved to infiltrate government.

It now appears the plans have paid off and they effectively control the White House, attempting to reshape the United States in the image of 1970s South Africa where key players were born and educated.

A similar outpost exists in Australia's state of West Australia, entrenched in its mining industry and seem just as set on shaping the politics of our country.

Like the US cabal, the Australian cabal has targetted conservative political parties and politicians.

These individuals all appear to share family links with and an admiration for Germany's 1930s Nazi party and hold deep fascist, racist and 'eugenic' views.

Dangerous bunch.
