I am currently working on The Belfast Doctrine: an examination of how statecraft, secrecy, bureaucracy, and social control became central to counter-insurgency doctrine.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

Apparently we’ve established that if the US can seize the largest tanker off Venezuela, it can just as easily seize a small, alleged drug boat without murdering the occupants.

Judge questions US Defense Department role in Venezuelans' deportations
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Monday to turn over the names of any migrants flown recently from the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay to El Salvador so he could determine whether they were deported in violation of a court order he issued.

“Accountability starts at the top. Secretary Hegseth has refused to take responsibility for his own mishandling of classified information, but has readily punished others for far less,” Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., an Army veteran and ranking member of the Armed Services Committee told The Intercept.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Great news, folks!

After months of denying that they were going to cut Medicaid by $880 billion

Republicans have now quelled that rumor

By announcing they’re “only” going to cut $600 billion in benefits

So that way, you know, only 25,500 people will die instead of 34,000

The bond market loves arresting judges. If you wanna see real “dollar flight” this will do it.
DOOCY: Would you ever arrest a federal judge or even a Supreme Court justice?

LEAVITT: I'd refer you to the DOJ for individuals they are looking at ... anyone who is breaking the law or obstructing federal law enforcement officials is putting themselves at risk of being prosecuted, absolutely

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation

"It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."
