"To Trump, Reagan’s composed performance, with its affirmation of consensus, is almost intolerable. It must be discredited not because it is inaccurate but because it represents an entirely different model of what presidential authority looks like." -Jake Lundberg

Brutal footage of Trump's masked thugs beating a man who is already cuffed.

Israeli settler mobs attacked Palestinian farmers in Al-Nazla Al-Sharqiya, north of Tulkarm, stealing their harvested olives and detaining them for hours by force, another act of settler violence against Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest season. 🤬🤬🤬
