The Tony Blair Institute is heavily backed by Larry Ellison & was “involved in plans to create a new ‘Trump Riviera.’” That vision “envisages creating a ‘blockchain registry for land’ to underpin the construction of up to 8 ‘AI-powered, smart planned cities on the inner side of the Gaza Ring.“ …1/

Roughly 2% of the whole country went out on a Saturday and protested the lawless Trump regime. There was essentially zero violence or destruction of property by the demonstrators. They were just fed up. Write 1,000 stories about this!

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more.

Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages.

It Was Never About The Hostages.
WOW! Horrible people.

He murdered a Colombian citizen in violation of domestic and international law. He’s now promising to illegally impose tariffs on Colombia because its president had the temerity to publicly criticize him for murdering one of that country’s citizens.

Yes, we are the baddies.
Trump says he's imposing new tariffs on Colombia but won't say what the rate will be

Trump’s corrupt pardons are infuriating. But abolishing the pardon power entirely would hurt innocent people, not just him. Fix the abuse—not the safeguard.

If it please your honor, fairness demands that the defense lawyers be as incompetent as the prosecution.

It you click through this quoted thread, you will get an extended lesson in how our media environment has largely carved itself out by firing seasoned beat reporters and replacing them with partisan generalists who often lack basic background knowledge on the topic they’re reporting on.

We should talk more about how getting through this is going to involve rebuilding most of our information institutions completely from the ground up (at the very least news media/journalism, universities, and the entire technology sector; libraries seem fine). Whole scale capture by disinformation.

Fifteen presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act.

Trump claims one president used it 28 times in the course of a single presidency.

The Insurrection Act has been used a total of 30 times over the course of its 217-year history.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."
