The Israelization of the United States of America

Birds of a feather, do fascism together. American cities are getting a taste of what Palestinians endure under brutal Israeli occupation as the Trump Administration arms for martial law.

Fighting Fascism At Home and Abroad with Qasim Rashid

The United States enabled, funded, and supported Israel's occupation of Palestinians without considering that those same tactics and strategies might one day be used at home against Americans.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

It's happening right in front of you.

Trump and the GOP are creating their own manufactured crises, lighting the Reichstag fires, blaming "them" for the violence (their critics), citing "left-wing" terrorism, all as a setup for martial law and the Insurrection Act.

It's happening in plain sight.

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files?

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.
