Only 1.5 % of agricultural land survives.

A new term has been invented to describe what Israel has been doing in Gaza, as genocide and ecocide are not enough:

Holocide.

The destruction of all life.

The dementia addled president of the United States is caught in his dementia loop. There is no capacity to process information. There is no capacity to effectively communicate a coherent thought. The entire world let's him stand there & ramble like a drunk uncle to prevent him from fucking it up

This is not legitimate ICE trained agents.
These are a racist, bitter human beings who feel as if this is their only recourse to get even with someone who has probably long forgotten what they’ve done to them.
Cowards, loyalist, mindless, spineless cultists.

BREAKING: Donald Trump flagrantly makes illegal cryptocurrency deal to help President of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto launder money and commit securities fraud, which involves meeting in a secret location with Eric Trump and includes "American Bitcoin" company owned primarily by the Trump family.

Craig R. Brittain @craigbrittain.com · 11h

Subianto: He's in a region not able to take securities.
Trump: If you do this-
S: Can I meet Eric?
Trump: You can meet Eric too, Eric is such a good boy.
S: I can definitely use him. My friend Harry, also finance.
Trump: Tell your friend to come straight to me.
S: We'll look for better place.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

I was pondering exactly the same this morning............is it now that I just have too much information coming at me?

That it's always been the same, but we never realised it ?

This @jvl.bsky.social piece gets at something I was trying to warn about years ago: People using "Antifa" as if it's a real organization, with an HQ and membership, were just laying out the foundation for Trump to say "Okay, you win, you're a real thing." /1

Are YOU Antifa?
