Two mass media BLACKOUTS are quite telling:
The vast death undercount in Gaza—now about 500,000 Palestinians killed by the genocidal Netanyahu—is still reported at about 55,000, the figure used by the Hamas Ministry of Health.

What’s a worse lie:
The lie from the US that Iran is close to nuclear weapon, which US intel & the IAEA disagree with.
Or the lie from the EU that Iran could avoid all this by returning to the negotiating table when they were ALREADY at the negotiating able & heading to Oman when Israel attacked?

Crazy, flailing, vengeful ignorant Donald Trump is pushing for cutting the already inadequate budget for our National Parks by over $1 billion out of a $3.5 billion budget. Over 300 million Americans and foreign tourists visit these parks every year.

“If Trump Cares About Fighting Antisemitism, Why Did He Pardon These Jan. 6 Insurrectionists?”
Some praised Hitler. One wore an ‘Auschwitz’ hoodie. Another gave a Nazi salute. The MAGA insurrection was a festival of antisemitism.

Billionaires buy up the foreclosed land, houses, and small businesses that go bankrupt. Billionaires offer low wages to those desperate for a job. Billionaires control all government contracts that are issued to do the jobs federal workers used to do. It's their plan.

The unusual thing is that generally restraining orders are not appealable, so there is that, however basically because the plaintiffs were not going to be injured (they have funds now, they can recover the grant funds if they win) the Supremes seem to be saying that the TRO was not appropriate. 4/5

ABOUT TODAY'S SUPREME COURT DECISION TO "ALLOW TRUMP TO CANCEL THE ED. GRANTS"
This is NOT a decision on the merits of the case, it is simply a question of whether the restraining order, which was already set to expire in a few days, could be "stayed" (no longer in effect) a few days early. 1/5
