The chain of events sure paints a picture of someone working on behalf of a high-level intelligence operation. It would explain why FBI investigators were stymied, why he went from facing life in federal prison to 13 months in Palm Beach, why he was emboldened to harass agents…

Genocide and orgies that require sex trafficking and for participants to be drugged and sometimes killed seem to be more protected than anything else is under empire. Perhaps the two activities are related in some way.

On this week’s patron episode of Death Panel, I talk with Melissa Gira Grant about her recent reporting on the new ICE camp just opened in the Everglades, and how it fits into a longer story of racialized detention, carceral infrastructure, and the theatrical production of cruelty.

now 9 people facing charges for attending an anti-ICE protest. every movement against fascism needs to be prepared for this level of repression. even when protest is criminalized, we still do it — and we also prepare! mutual aid, legal support, etc to withstand these attacks

Cory Booker was among the Democrats in this photo with Netanyahu – and has still not said anything, nor answered our questions, about the Israeli settler killing of an American. Booker's book "Stand" (inspired by his 25-hour speech) about "good trouble" comes out this fall.
