We really need Anglophone journalists in the UK, Canada, and Australia to start writing about the political situation in the US using the same kind of language they use when writing about political situations in developing countries. "the regime", "dissidents", "the regime's secret police", etc.

If they get the go-ahead for the new prison, there will be jammers in place. This is one way to push this ideology through to get her new prison.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court greenlights Trump's "pocket rescission" of $4 billion in foreign aid appropriated by Congress.

Kagan, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson, has a sharp dissent. She says this "result conflicts with the separation of powers." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

deliberation. So the standard for granting emergency relief
is supposed to be stringent. The Executive has not come
close to meeting it here. And the consequence of today’s
grant is significant. I appreciate that the majority refrains
from offering a definitive view of this dispute and the questions raised in it. But the effect of its ruling is to allow the
Executive to cease obligating $4 billion in funds that Congress appropriated for foreign aid, and that will now never
reach its intended recipients. Because that result conflicts
with the separation of powers, I respectfully dissent

EVERY president since the 80s has demanded Cuba return Assata Shakur to the US for trial. Trump offered to END the embargo if they returned her.

The Cubans told every president for decades to eat shit and that she will always be welcome to live her life in peace on their land.

Rest well, legend

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age."

She was 78.
