The way Columbia in particular bent over for Trump and their Zionist donors, abandoning academic freedom, principles, and most importantly its students and faculty, will always be a stain on the institution, no matter how many times they apologize in the future. #HindsHall

Trump Officials Ignored Their Own University Investigations, Lawyer Says

A former Justice Department lawyer says Trump administration leaders ignored findings that elite schools, including Brown and Columbia, hadn’t broken the law as they pressed them into deals.

Always a pleasure to see the American Goldfinches bright colors to start the day! 🟡 🪶

Gaza flattened while the Trumps plot a beach resort, Argentina subservient to Zionists, Maduro kidnapped, Ukraine in a US debt trap, AI rising over all of it. I recently went back to Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine, published 2007. Sadly nothing has changed and she could easily write another volume

I saw the Flaco documentary this week. It's very good, and I was glad to have seen him in Central Park while he was alive. Much of the film sits with one question people kept asking: should he have been free, or kept in very confined captivity where he was 'meant to be' as one commentator put it?

News stories like this don't surprise anyone anymore. The system is rigged. The only thing that still surprises me is that come Nov, there'll be sentient beings talking about making your vote count as if the choice between a red or blue tie makes a difference.

Iran War Drives Oil Profits to Highest Levels in Years

The world’s biggest oil companies are benefiting from the high commodity prices that have been a drag on the rest of the economy.

Hamas appears to have agreed to another of the US & Israeli "phased" traps. The genociders get what they want, blame Hamas for a breach or stage a false flag, then revert to genocide and land theft like in Mar '25 as they received the phase-one hostages, declared a breach, and resumed the slaughter.

Just watched Abby Martin's latest documentary on the environmental devastation caused by the US military. An extraordinary piece of journalism. I work on climate and nature and write often about empire, yet even I had no idea how severe it was. What they are doing to this planet is heartbreaking.

Americans are nowhere near angry or mobilized enough.

The US government is lying about Mitch McConnell’s health to prevent the man Israel spent $32 million to remove from taking his seat, while Congress votes to merge the US and Israeli militaries, confirming its subversion by that same foreign state, as they commit genocide and war crimes together.

More evidence for the ICC on premeditated war crimes to be committed by the USA.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Excellent analysis by Jeffrey Sachs that I would encourage all to read, particularly those in Europe who are deliberately blinded by the establishment to the facts that Sachs expertly lays out here.

Andy Burnham's first call as PM went to Trump, discussing North Sea oil, military alliance, and the Strait of Hormuz. Every item on that list serves US and Israeli Epstein class interests rather than the people of the UK. The merchants of death have their latest unelected puppet in Downing Street.

It's Day 1 of Andy Burnham being Prime Minister & Donald Trump is celebrating the destruction of our planet. Meanwhile Spain doubled it's renewables - before they had some of the highest bills in Europe and now some of the lowest bills. Labour need to stop appealing to Trump.

Really enjoying Marco Rubio being scared shitless of the ICC. You don't try to dismantle a court "brick by brick" unless you're worried. They can't get the Netanyahu warrant thrown out, the empire's rattled, and I hope the court holds firm against everything coming, both in public and in the dark.

Oh, look! Two countries that commit war crimes don't like being held accountable. Who'd have guessed?

Wildlife protection enjoys bipartisan support among the U.S. public. This is another brazen example of the Trump regime serving extractive corporate interests in the mining and fossil fuel industries rather than the interests of American citizens.

Well done to these Irish activists. There should be no business as usual with the genocidal state of Israel, or with those who normalise its crimes, in this case the weak, snivelling FAI. Every one of them who signed off on this game should carry the shame of it wherever they go. #StopTheGame

More US infrastructure is literally crumbling, this time in the self-professed greatest city in the world, while the government keeps funneling US taxpayer money to Israel and the military industrial complex.

“When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, […] I come into the peace of wild things” Wendell Berry, 'The Peace of Wild Things' 🦋🐝

Frederick Douglass, 1852: "This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn." The country celebrating liberty today kidnapped Venezuela's president, bombed Iran's school girls, blockades Cuba, and is participating in genocide in Gaza.

6 World Cups between Argentina, Spain and Uruguay, and not one could beat Cape Verde in normal time. And tomorrow, on their 51st Independence Day, half a million people have plenty to celebrate and be proud of. Great to see!

Married just five months earlier, he left behind a pregnant wife and an unborn child he will never meet, a child who will never know their father. The weapons used to kill this innocent man were likely made and supplied by the FIFA peace prize winner and host of their world cup.
