Elwood, Il the nation’s largest inland port and Trumps staging ground for the invasion of Chicago. Troisvierge, Luxembourg, 1914, staging ground for Germany’s invasion of Belgium and France. Someone at the US Northern Command knows what their doing.

The war in Gaza ended 6 to 9 months ago. It’s been pure genocide—a straight-up slaughter-and-starvation campaign—since then. Under no circumstances should anyone pretend that Netanyahu is still fighting a “war” just so that Trump can get a photo op and say he “ended” it.

Do better, corporate media.

Trump’s Gaza peace plan does not resolve all the issues, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues. "But Trump is counting on the force of his personality, the exhaustion of the parties, and the momentum created by the initial agreement to ultimately end the war entirely."

The Gaza War Isn’t Over Yet. But It Could Be Soon.

Trump may have ended the Gaza hostage crisis. Can he end the Gaza war?

Out-of-state troops sent by the SAME state that exported their migrant problems to Chicago a couple of years ago. This has been a long-term Texas instigation going back YEARS.

This is a civil war in everything but name.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.
