William Tell has stretched his bow 'til it won't stretch no furthermore

OPINION: "He wants to run for president and thinks taking Cuba will get him there…but he needs an excuse. And that excuse will also provide Trump, Vance, Miller, et al with a fine opportunity to start rounding up American progressives." bit.ly/4c0hvuN

"The six House Democrats who voted for the NDAA are Reps. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Don Davis (N.C.), Jared Golden (Maine), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Adam Gray (Calif.) and Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Wash.)." NONE OF THESE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE A POLITICAL CAREER AFTER NOVEMBER. NONE OF THEM.

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.

17 US service members have been killed in Trump's Iran war and more than 400 wounded, but the Pentagon has stopped disclosing when troops are injured and didn't even reveal three strikes against US forces last week. More than 1,700 Iranian civilians have been killed. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/u...

Central Command is not required to release information about injured troops, especially when they quickly return to duty, a military official said.

The Atlantic quotes a dodgy corporate "think tank" (I routinely see them make bogus claims on broadband) that insists that people should love having an AI data center in their backyard, because the low latency means innovators will flock to the neighborhood, which is an outright lie

"Michael Mandel, the chief economist for the Progressive Policy Institute, told me that employment gains are likely to grow as new data centers attract businesses that use AI. Companies using the technology for advanced applications—such as for autonomous vehicles and medical research—may benefit from proximity to these centers, because information can travel faster from source to user. The margin is imperceptible to most people using Claude or ChatGPT, but for companies that depend on real-time AI-powered decision making at scale, tiny differences in latency matter. The kinds of businesses that will drive the AI economy are thus likely to set up in communities that invest in data centers."

This has to END NOW! Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years building homes and supporting his family, only to be killed on his way to work. ICE’s "self-defense" claim cannot just be taken at face value. We need a completely independent investigation and full transparency now. JUSTICE NOW!

WHAT WE BUILD ON THE GRAVE OF THE USA MUST BE BUILT WITH THE SKULLS OF KKKRISTOFASCISTS AND THEIR OLIGARCHS. TRUTH: THIS IS THEIR END GAME. THEY LITERALLY WILL NOT STOP THE PROJECT 2025 ATTEMPT TO REPLACE OUR DEMOCRACY WITH PERMANENT KKKRISTOFASCIST ETHNO-THEOCRATIC APARTHEID UNLESS FORCED TO.

IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THE KKKRISTOFASCISTS, THEIR OLIGARCHY AND THE SMOOTH-BRAINED SANEWASHING MEDIA OWNED BY THAT OLIGARCHY ARE 100% HELLBENT ON FORCING EVERYTHING TO THE POINT OF MASS VIOLENCE TO END THEIR ETHNO-THEOCRATIC TYRANNY, THEN YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
