On Monday President Donald Trump signed an executive order that ensures no federal government official facilitates conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen, reports Joe Lauria.
Arrayed around him in the Capitol’s rotunda for his inauguration were people with more blood on their hands than every serial killer in U.S. history, says John Wight.
As he was sworn in for a second time, Donald Trump openly declared America to be a territorial empire that would expand, even to Mars, reports Joe Lauria.
Trump will do many evil things but none will reverse the fact that Biden just spent four years advancing genocide, nuclear brinkmanship and authoritarianism.
Estimates are that it will take 80 years to rebuild Gaza, writes Jonathan Cook. How is a “sovereign and viable Palestinian state,” or a “better future,” going to emerge out of ruins on that scale?
Israel plays a cynical game. It makes phased agreements with the Palestinians that ensure it immediately gets what it wants. It then violates every subsequent phase and reignites its military assault.
What may be drawing to a close is merely a particularly intense phase in the genocide. The author saw Israel break the ceasefire in Lebanon every day, and expects the same in Gaza.
