"This week, in one of the most chilling verdicts of our lifetimes, a court in Texas sentenced a group of anti-ICE protestors to decades in prison, mostly for engaging in normal protest activities. Why would a decorative body of water, even a green and reeking one, attract more attention than that?"

I’m not sure it was ever true, and it should have been clear at least a year ago, but *now* surely it must be glaringly obvious now to anyone that the USA is no longer a “safe third country” and Canada has an *obligation* to adjust our various laws, policies and agreements to account for this reality.

Stephen Miller, the face of a Nazi:
"Stephen Miller memo EXPOSES plan to punish Americans with disabilities
According to Bloomberg Law, Stephen Miller was behind a DOJ memo that lets states institutionalize Americans with disabilities instead of funding the community care that allows them to remain home—undoing decades of reform and precedent."
"Even if Netanyahu is voted out, Israel's ethnic cleansing agenda will continue apace"

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t think the Boy Scouts should be doing deals with the Pentagon.

"The interconnected wealth, influence & power of these tech moguls is now more powerful than nations."
"They can act as their own political entity traveling around the world to pursue their own foreign policy, political goals & even to establish their own little nation states they will control without laws or regulations or any influence from democracy."

Report: Israel's security minister Ben Gvir is set to attend a UN policing conference in NY
Ben Gvir "lives in the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba in the Palestinian city of Hebron."
He was a member of the Kach party, which aimed to "establish a pure Jewish society."
Kach was banned after member Baruch Goldstein "killed dozens of Palestinian worshippers in the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron in 1994."

The Gaza genocide was planned decades ago
Just as today, soldier testimonials from the 1967 war show ethnic cleansing & murder was Israeli policy:
"At first I wasn't willing to execute Arabs who weren't resisting," one soldier said. Then we concluded "that we had to kill." We ceased "to see them as human beings."
"300,000 Arabs were expelled or displaced from the West Bank, Gaza & the Golan Heights" in the 6-day war.
Report: Israel’s ever expanding so-called "buffer zone" means endless displacement for Gazans.
Israel has continually expanded the yellow line (plus an "orange line") to annex additional territory & "has established military observation mounds over ancient Palestinian cemeteries."
It is one of "Israel’s methods of psychological warfare to punish Palestinians & "appears aimed at forcing residents into the al-Mawasi area."

The cost of the Iran war is lot more than the $29B number touted by the White House.
"The Pentagon has already asked Congress for $80 billion. Meanwhile, Moody’s Analytics has put the likely total at $132 billion while two other experts think the tab could ultimately reach as much as $1 trillion, once costs like veterans’ benefits and rebuilding damage to American bases are incorporated."

How they destroyed the only shreds of democracy we had:
In 1971, US & European oligarchs were having nightmares about what they called the "excess of democracy" that had birthed the 1960s' uprisings.
They figured that maintaining their status would depend on "reverse engineering the 20th century."
The results included the Trilateral Commission, the Koch network, & eventually the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025.

In France, which was considered a leading democracy of Europe, the betrayal was spearheaded by a powerful clique of native "100 percent French" fascists. Norway had its Quisling who was as "pure-blooded" a Norwegian as Laval was a "pure-blooded" Frenchman. The Netherlands' Musserts were "100 percent Dutch," Belgium's Degrelles "100 percent Belgian," and Britain's Mosleys "100 percent British."

In data center news:
The president of the Utah State Senate, who championed a huge data center beside the Great Salt Lake, was defeated in his Republican primary on Tuesday night, one of the most high-profile signs of the voter backlash to data center projects.
The vote to oust the Senate president, J. Stuart Adams, was a stunner. Mr. Adams was one of the longest-serving and most powerful politicians in Utah, a solidly Republican state, and had won earlier re-elections with little opposition.
Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon—and for the rest of his life.

Albanian media is mostly captured by oligarchs so one way supporters outside Albania can help is by watching & liking outside media coverage of protests (and any good analysis thereof) so world media is incentivized to keep covering this. Albania does not usually get covered by outside media.

Live.
There are a number of different chants that repeat, but one of the easiest ones to recognize is "Rama n' burg, Berisha n'burg". Roughly, it's "Rama to jail, Berisha to jail "Rama is current PM and Berisha is the previous PM. They are from opposite main parties. The chant points out that this protest is not a party protest - all corruption must go.
