These lyrics come to mind when reading the “news” about #uspol and #aggression and #slaughter in #sovereign countries. #killermike didn’t spare a syllable in his 3 and a half minutes. He killed it just you would expect then the VIDEO with it? insert 100 “dead” emojis. after one microphone emoji.
[Sample: Ronald Reagan]
Our government has a firm policy not to capitulate to terrorist demands. That no-concessions policy remains in force. In spite of the wildly speculative and false stories about arms for hostages and alleged ransom payments, we did not—repeat—did not trade weapons or anything else for hostages, nor will we[Verse 1: Killer Mike]
The ballot or the bullet, some freedom or some bullshit
Will we ever do it big, or just keep settlin' for li'l shit?
We brag on having bread, but none of us are bakers
We all talk having greens, but none of us own acres
If none of us own acres, and none of us grow wheat
Then who will feed our people when our people need to eat? -
#Evil of #US not new but something changed
There is no pretence #Arab life matters
Over 300 people were killed by #Israeli military in #Lebanon Wednesday
Adjusted for size, that would be 3500 in UK, or 17,389 US
You can see why many Lebanese people call it a 9/11
Israeli military blew up #residential & #commercial #neighbourhoods without warning
Yet this was just the latest #slaughter committed by #Israel.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
One of these gods, according to the account, drowned an entire world, with the exception of eight persons. The old, the young, the beautiful and the helpless were remorsely devoured by the shoreless sea. This, the most fearful tragedy that the imagination of ignorant priests ever conceived, was the act, not of a devil, but of a god, so-called, whom men ignorantly worship unto this day.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1872-01-29), “The Gods,” Fairbury Hall, Fairbury, IllinoisMore about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
“And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thy hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword. But the women and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself, and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies which the Lord thy God hath given thee. Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. But of the cities of these people which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth”
Is it possible for man to conceive of anything more perfectly infamous? Can you believe that such directions were given by any being except an infinite fiend? Remember that the army receiving these instructions was one of invasion. Peace was offered upon condition that the people submitting should be the slaves of the invader; but if any should have the courage to defend their homes, to fight for the love of wife and child, then the sword was to spare none — not even the prattling, dimpled babe.Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator

#Trump can’t fire us, FTC Democrats tell court after being ejected from office
2 démocrates portent plainte après avoir été virés
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/03/ftc-democrats-sue-trump-say-firings-break-law-and-supreme-court-precedent
Two Democratic members of the #FederalTradeCommission who were fired by President #Trump sued him today, saying their removals are "in direct violation of a century of federal law and Supreme Court precedent."
#Slaughter & #Bedoya
"you that you have been removed from the Federal Trade Commission, effective immediately." -
The alchemy of big law was always the way in which you seamlessly revolve in and out of government - the allure of making a lot of money and governing.
That is what is shattering.
Relatedly, for the first time in my lifetime, Democratic voters are turning against their own leaders.
40% of Democratic voters approve of Congressional Democrats, and 49% disapprove.
Last year, 75% approved and just 21% disapproved.
At town halls, Democratic members of Congress are encountering not support, but rage.
As Axios reported, a “senior House Democrat told Axios that a colleague called them after a town hall crying and said: "They hate us. They hate us.”’
Democratic voters haven’t fingered biglaw as the culprit, so the question right now is whether corporate America and big law will remain homeless,
or whether firms like Paul Weiss can recapture what they had.But there is deep rage in the Democratic base, and on the right, at oligarchy.
And there’s another group ascending against the anti-populists who run Democratic politics.
On Friday, there were 34,000 people in Denver, Colorado at a Bernie Sanders rally.
For context, that’s 5% of the population of Denver, and 1% of the population of the Denver metro area.
One of the speakers was FTC Commissioner #Alvaro #Bedoya, who Trump had tried to remove last week.
Bedoya and his colleague, #Rebecca #Kelly #Slaughter, had been in the shadow of former Chair Lina Khan, but were important officials in moving populist policy.
In contrast to Paul Weiss, instead of lying down, they chose to fight.
Both are doing media tours to discuss the work they are doing against oligarchy.
Bedoya went to Colorado and spoke before that giant crowd. When was the last time a commissioner of a small Federal antitrust agency did that?
Sanders, who is attracting a lot of people who did not support him in 2016 and 2020 to his rallies, is building a different kind of politics.
He has refined his argument to focus on oligarchy, the group of superrich who are running the United States.
And a newer generation of politicians are recognizing in that argument something that makes sense.
There are conflicting messages, notably the New York Times’ Ezra Klein and The Atlantic’s Derek Thompson launching a campaign around the concept of Abundance, which I’ll touch on soon.
But the possibility of sharpening policy tools to bring our oligarchs back into our democracy and match them with a political coalition is there.And in that sense, I am thankful to Paul Weiss and Brad Karp.
-- In this dangerous moment, the Democratic corporate establishment, by capitulating so obviously to Trump in return for corporate money, has just ripped out the heart that ran the Clinton, Obama, and much of the toxic parts of the Biden administrations.And they did so at the only moment in the last two decades during which normal Democrats are looking for someone to blame for their own party’s fecklessness.
And who better to blame than the would-be Kamala Harris staff, a pack of Google and private equity defense lawyers - and Chuck Schumer’s brother - who, when the chips were down, bent the knee to Trump?

This could have devastating consequences — not just for the few vanishing mustangs still roaming free, but for the thousands #incarcerated in govt holding facilities.
…When we talk about BLM’s “wild horse programs,” we are talking about >60k #WildHorses & burros trapped in claustrophobic, sometimes dangerously #overcrowded govt pens, where #animals have no room to gallop, family bonds are shattered, & some #horses mysteriously disappear into the #slaughter pipeline despite federal protections.
