After fast-tracking white Afrikaners for entry into the US to protect them from a genocide that never happened, Trump has, at the same time, cut off Afghans who put their lives on the line to translate for our troops — in the middle of battles with bullets flying — and have been waiting FOR YEARS in camps for US entry. Those are the “lucky” ones. Less lucky: the translator/soldiers left behind, in hiding, where they risk execution if found by the Taliban.

Hungry for The Hunger Games? The Department of Homeland Security is considering the creation of a television show in which migrants would compete for fast-tracked U.S. citizenship. By next year we will have a Trump-sponsored contest to see who gets a vaccine.

We cannot take progress for granted. 60 years after Bloody Sunday, I feel like we're marching backwards. With new laws allowing the return of Klan voter challenges, how do we defeat the forces that would watch democracy bleed to death and applaud? https://www.gregpalast.com/marching-backwards/

Canada's PM Mark Carney should tell Trump that he demands America become Canada's 11th province. It would be a terrific deal: we get national health insurance and a head of state who isn't addicted to Adderall.

Say WHAT? China has retaliated against Trump tariffs by refusing delivery of jets from Boeing, America’s #1 manufacturing exporter. In other words, we are trading Machinist Union jobs at Boeing that will pay an average of $119,309 per year so we can bring back jobs sewing sneakers for 33 cents an hour—Nike’s average shop floor pay in China. Want your kids to have a golden job in Trump’s "Golden Age" economy? Teach them how to say, “Do you want fries with that?” 🤦‍♂️

This month marks the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnamese victory over US occupation. I had lucked out on the “draft lottery,” which should have been called the “death lottery,” so I did not have to kill nor be killed…

Pope Francis I, a leader of the so-called "resistance" to #TheRealDonaldJTrump, was found dead after meeting with Vice-President JD Vance in Rome following the Easter vacation period.

The Vice-President was in Rome to dress down the Pontiff for encouraging illegal immigration. His Holiness called Trump's cruelty to immigrants, "not Christian" (really!), to which Trump responded with a 130% tariff on crucifixes. (OK, I made that one up).

No joke. On Tuesday, Trump issued an extraordinary Executive Order that would give “the DOGE Administrator” — that is, Elon Musk — access to the voter files of every state for the purpose of purging millions of Americans from voter rolls. The Trump-Musk Order also threatens the return of the infamous Interstate Crosscheck purge program.

Investigating oil well operations at night on the Osage reservation.

#LongKnife #Osage #Documentary

You're witnessing the war dance of the Osage Nation here on their reservation in Oklahoma. Who are they going to war against? Their new enemy is called the Tribe of DOGE.

DOGE has just ordered the closure of 25 Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) offices, including the Osage Agency in Pawhuska, OK. It is devastating to the self-determination, the sovereignty of the Osage Nation. This is the beginning of a new Trail of Tears.

This isn’t just about numbers. It’s about the fundamental right of every American to have their vote counted. Until we fix these systemic issues, our democracy will remain deeply flawed. https://chicagocrusader.com/palast-voter-suppression-cost-harris-the-2024-presidential-election/

Who's going to bust them? In the old days, these guys would be charged with racketeering. The problem is they're now in charge of the Justice Department. It’s like Al Capone taking over the cops.

Trump is beating up Zelenskyy to force him to take a "ceasefire" that would permanently give 20% of Ukraine to Russia. Imagine, Mr. Trump, if Mexico demanded 20% of the US starting with Florida and Mar-a-Lago. Would you take that deal?
