Weird, though, how often their calling out anti-semitism looks exactly like Islamophobia.

Just a reminder that Israel at peace probably means Bibi & his wife go to jail on corruption charges. He & his goons are not seeking peace.

Long before that cursed teevee show made him ridiculously famous, he managed to snooker Forbes into including him in their list of 400 wealthiest people (mid-1980's).

And he doesn't just lie & bully, he's also able to be a projection screen for people to see whatever they want to see in him.

People are still debating if Trump is or isn't smart.

Can we please remember Gardner's 'multiple intelligences' & agree that although he's ignorant, incurious & has no noticeable business acumen, he is also a manipulative genius?

Goldman Sachs loses senior bankers after leadership reshuffles, dealmaking pause

Goldman Sachs has lost more than a dozen senior investment bankers this year, a higher number than normal, after internal shake-ups and a sluggish start to 2025 drove them to seek new opportunities, according to three sources familiar with the situation.

There's a back-and-forth going on in the filings in the James Comey criminal case.... over how evidence/discovery will be handled.

This is quite an argument filed by the defense to attest to Comey's ability to handle materials

I absolutely love this kind of thing because the regime's case is that Portland is a burnt out war torn hellhole and instead right now it looks like a weird Japanese theme park. And that's good! It's so weird that it gets spread around everywhere and directly contradicts regime propaganda.

Things that may mean you’re either very rich or very poor:

- To own a horse
- To have a family member in prison
- To have many children
- To own an old car
- That not just anyone can enter your neighborhood
- Ripped/Torn clothes
- Intermittent fasting

The “antifa”/“antifascist” discourse has been going on for years. The reality is that it is not comfortable to be an antifascist, no matter what you call yourself, because you will be targeted by fascists. It is even less comfortable to be perceived as an enemy of the state, but that’s where we are.

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath
Fascists are emboldened in direct proportion to the silence of the rest of US.
Since 2016, I've confronted people in public several times.
I stand in front of them saying, "Your hatred is not welcome here" — over and over until they leave.
It's scary — but it's what I can do.

You know the much maligned "Antifa"?
Yeah, "Antifa" is local activists who have been risking their lives on the front lines against these fascist militia groups for years in cities across the US and trying to sound the alarm about the threat they pose.
Fight fascism.
Be Antifa.

Some people seem to think resistance to fascism doesn't involve actual conflict.
When you fight fascism, fascists target you.
That's how this works.
It's understandable to find that frightening in reality, but this is all really happening.
Pick a side.
