Evangelical Christians can be Zionists, too

"Never again" means no more genocide, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and racist war crimes against anyone anywhere. Jews used to believe it, but many have now been hoodwinked into thinking it only applied to them, mostly referring to elitist Ashkenazi (European) Jews. Consider The Nakba (the "Catastrophe") is The Holocaust committed by Zionist Jews for the past 75 years, which continues in Palestine, Gaza, the West Bank, and parts of Jerusalem, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and is coming to the rest of the geopolitical Middle East soon.

Biology? I'm fully who I am. (Time)

(Democracy Now!) June 24, 2026: A new documentary explores a growing body of scientific research documenting the wide range of gender and sexual diversity found in the animal kingdom, from pregnant male seahorses to matriarchal monkey troops.

Second Nature, directed by queer filmmaker Drew Denny, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page, who says he joined the project because "I was so moved by it and found it so affirming as a trans and queer person."

Learning about animal life beyond binary concepts of sex and gender was life-changing, Denny shares about her inspiration for the film. "I finally felt in my body, for the first time, that I belong here on Earth, just like anybody else."

Michael Parenti: RIP to the GOAT (TJDS)

(The Jimmy Dore Show) Michael Parenti was a legend and here's why

R.I.P. to the GOAT: Michael Parenti (Wiki)

“Those who think they're free just haven't come to the end of their leash.” - Michael Parenti

American Marxist scholar, political analyst, historian, and author Michael Parenti has died at the age of 92. He was an outspoken critic of American capitalism, imperialism, and class inequities, whose intellectual works were celebrated around the world. He was the author of over 20 books, including Democracy for the Few and Superpatriotism.

• American Marxist scholar Michael Parenti dies at 92 | Democracy Now!

Against Empire: Exposé US Global Domination

“Well, I argue that one of the functions of a capitalist state is to defend capitalism from itself, to defend capitalism from the capitalists. It was Marx — dare we mention him? I hear he’s coming back in style. It was Marx who said one capitalist will kill many other capitalists, that the system begins to consume itself. We see that with Bernard Madoff [Bernie who made off with a lot of other people's money] and the like.…The free market does not work. It’s not free. It’s not really a market; it’s a plunder. And it has to be done away with.” - Michael Parenti

Michael John Parenti (Sept. 30, 1933–Jan. 24, 2026) was an American political scientist, academic historian, and cultural critic who wrote on scholarly and popular subjects. He taught at American universities and also ran for political office [1]. Parenti was well known for his Marxist writings and lectures [2, 3] and was a heroic intellectual of the American Left [4].

Executions of Pretti, Good, anti-ICE riots

“ICE Out”: Tens of thousands march in Minnesota in general strike against immigration raids

.

We will not stand for Trump's America on ICE

Peaceful and legal protests and demonstrations have intensified in Minnesota after federal immigration agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse [like they executed Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother] who worked in the Minneapolis Veterans Health Care System, on Saturday.

ICE: Shoot 'n keep shootin

Democracy Now!'s John Hamilton reports from the scene where innocent Pretti was shot to death, where protesters are clashing with federal agents.

“We’ve seen everything from [teargassed] people that are unconscious, that have fainted, tear-gassed, bruised, bloody noses, can’t breathe,” said Melissa, a local resident.

State Senator Omar Fateh responded to the killing with outrage: “He had a camera on his hand. He was tackled, he was pummeled, and he was executed.” VIDEO:

Racist agents enforce racism with impunity.

Democracy Now! speaks with a former colleague of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old ICU nurse ICE shot to death, acting as Trump's federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. Dr. Aasma Shaukat, who hired Pretti for a research job over a decade ago, says he lived with “kindness, compassion, and a strong sense of civic duty to help his fellow citizens.” VIDEO:

Trump, operating from his self-appointed Royal Palace (Mar-a-Lago) rather than his official office at the White House or a Pentagon bunker, has "reverse ICE'ed" (forcibly imported) a leader of a sovereign nation, Pres. Maduro of Venezuela, as the Pentagon, NSA, CIA, and NSC bombard us with AI propaganda videos of celebrating drones in and around Caracas to manufacture consent for war, invasion, nation building to make Banana Republics, and support for the Empire of Greater Israel.

NOTE: While we agree the environment and climate need saving, we oppose the nonsense capitalist pseudo-solutions that make it obvious that the reason "climate change" is promoted is to sneak in more of the same: Pollution credits, blaming consumers while exempting the corporations that are profiting from polluting, incentivizing bad (biased) science that finds results its looking for (the promote the mainstream narrative) and dismissing results that contradict it.

Talking to Indigenous Americans in Amazon

Democracy Now! speaks with Indigenous leaders at U.N. climate summit in Belém for climate negotiations, in greater numbers than ever before, taking center stage at COP30. 

These Indigenous leaders are calling “to end the persecution of our land defenders,” says Diana Chávez, member of the Pastaza Kichwa Nation, with Pakkiru, an Indigenous organization based in Ecuador’s Amazon. “We’re fighting to keep our territories.”

TRANSCRIPT

This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.

HOST AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, The War and Peace Report. I’m Amy Goodman. We’re broadcasting from Belém, Brazil, the gateway to the Amazon, where the U.N. climate summit is taking place.

“The answer is us.” That was the slogan as hundreds of Indigenous leaders from the Amazon and across the region gathered in the streets of Belém Monday (Nov. 17) outside the U.N. climate summit venue, where delegates from over 190 countries continue negotiations. These are some of the voices from the streets of Belém.

INDIGENOUS LEADER 1: [Translated] We are here fighting for our land, for our wildlife, for our birds that are facing extinction. We are here at this COP for results. We ask that Brazilian President Lula come and demarcate the land so that the illegal miners don’t enter our land and our river.

INDIGENOUS LEADER 2: [Translated] We are here claiming our rights, defending our forests, defending our animals, where we have survived all these years. We need to be recognized by the world as great guardians of the forest.

AMY GOODMAN: As Indigenous protests continue here in Belém, the government of Brazil has announced the creation of 10 new Indigenous territories in response to demands from protesters. There are more than 900 Indigenous delegates accredited here at [COP30], the highest number at any U.N. climate summit.

We’re joined now by Diana Chávez. She is a member of the Pastaza Kichwa Nation, head of international affairs and organizations for Pakkiru, which is based in Ecuador’s Amazon, arrived in Belém three weeks ago. Can you talk about where you’re from in Ecuador? More

'Injustice': Trump Jan 6th, Biden failure

(Democracy Now!) Ever wonder how Trump got away with his many felony crimes on Jan. 6th?

Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America's Justice Department

I meant to do better, but Democrats are also corrupt pedophiles in bed with CIA blackmailers.

.

Injustice: How Politics Fear...

Hardcover out on Nov. 4, 2025. Authors Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis have a #1 Best Seller in United States History.

From Pulitzer Prize–winning Washington Post reporters Leonnig and Davis, a shocking investigation of unparalleled depth into the subversion of the Justice Department over the last decade, culminating in Pres. Trump upending this cornerstone of democracy and threatening America’s rule of law as we have long known it.

Throughout his first administration, Trump did more than any other president to politicize the nation’s top law enforcement agency, pressuring appointees

• to shield him,
• to target his enemies, and even
• to help him cling to power after his 2020 election defeat.

I told ya Swamp's corrupt. Who's got power?

The department, pressed into a defensive crouch, has never fully recovered. Injustice exposes not only the Trump administration’s efforts to undermine the department at every turn but also how delays in investigating Trump’s effort to overturn the will of voters under Attorney General Merrick Garland helped prevent the country from holding Trump accountable and enabled his return to power.

I do what Israel tells me to do. Ask Bibi why.

With never-before-told accounts, Leonnig and Davis take readers inside as prosecutors convulsed over Trump’s disdain for the rule of law. FBI agents, the department’s storied investigators, at times retreated in fear.

They take readers to the rooms where Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team set off on an all-but-impossible race to investigate Trump for absconding with classified documents and waging an assault on democracy—and inside his prosecution’s heroic and fateful choices that ultimately backfired.

Neutral toward injustice? - Desmond Tutu

With a plethora of sources deeply embedded in the ranks of three presidencies, Leonnig and Davis reveal the daily war secretly waged for the soul of the department, how it has been shredded by propaganda and partisanship, and how—if the United States hopes to live on with its same form of government—Trump’s war with the Justice Department will mark a turning point from which it will be hard to recover.

Injustice is the jaw-dropping account of partisans and enablers undoing democracy, heroes still battling to preserve a nation governed by laws, and a call to action for those who believe in liberty and justice for all. More
