37 percent of Americans think the system of democracy in the United States is working, while 57 percent think it is not working.

"Any Senator that says a convicted criminal's defense attorney is a suitable Attorney General for that same convicted criminal is either lying, stupid, or participating in/benefitting from criminal conspiracies run out of the White House.

WaPo: House passes bill cutting food aid for pregnant women, children

Under the legislation, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children — more commonly known as WIC — would lose $141 million in funding for fruit and vegetable benefits for the nearly 5.4 million children and pregnant and postpartum women enrolled, according to an estimate from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The Senate has yet to consider the legislation.

Fascism cannot tolerate such religious and ethical concepts as the "brotherhood of man." Fascists deny the need for international cooperation. These ideas contradict the fascist theory of the "master race." The brotherhood of man implies that all people — regardless of color, race, creed, or nationality have rights.

@Lazarou Yes, but no known empire has committed suicide on purpose.

The #iranwar will in all likelihood go down in future history books as the worst decision ever made by America in all its history.

Rome collapsed much slower and didn't purposefully orchestrate its own suicide on behalf of loyalties to a foreign state and didn't decide to speed up it's own death with some version of ancient accelerationism. In Rome any Emperor that were to try that would be executed, it'd be unRoman.

"Israel does have a postwar plan for Gaza." It always has. To claim otherwise is a mistake.

"The next phase of Israel’s gradual strategy is already well underway."

Now that Gaza "has been destroyed almost completely, Israel is advancing confidently toward the next phase of the plan", namely:

"making the entire population permanently disabled, injured, sick, hungry, homeless & unemployed".

The last phase is expulsion.

"Independents in particular have become more negative about Trump’s job handling: Only 21% approve, while 71% disapprove — a -50 net approval. That’s a record-low among Independents for either term. At this point in Trump’s first term, he had a -3 net approval among Independents.

Trump’s job approval among Independents has fallen so low that the closest first-term comparison is to how Democrats viewed Trump at the start of his first term, when he had a -54 net approval among Democrats (13% approve and 67% disapprove)."

They comprised 90% of the popn when, in 1917, imperial Britain decided - without consulting them - to hand over much of their land to immigrant Jews from Europe.

Israel's "Iron Wall" policy in Palestine Britain's 1917 Balfour Declaration promised a land it didn't own, to a people who didn't live there, over the heads of those who did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35SygAiylHw Netnyahu's inspiration, Zionist Ze'ev Jabotinsky, said in 1923 that Jewish “colonization” of Palestine (he used that term) required an “iron wall” of Zionist military superiority. Palestinian Arabs, Jabotinsky said, would, like “every native population in the world, [resist] colonists as long as it has the slightest hope..." The only way Arabs would agree to a Jewish presence is "the iron wall" - a strong power not amenable to Arab pressure. Netanyahu, too, relies on Israel's military supremacy. He enters into only those agreements that consolidate this supremacy: “one of dominance without settlement, degradation without reconstruction, territorial denial without a political horizon, & war, not as a bridge to an arrangement, but the arrangement itself" (Nathan J. Brown). Michael Young, 1 June 2026, Zeteo
