"In a separate interview, Democratic Whip Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) told Andreone that he is “not worried” about warrantless surveillance of Americans, including BLM activists, ahead of the FISA vote. “I don’t worry about stuff. I just live through it,” he said."

...uh what???

Clyburn and Meeks long ago sold their souls. They stand for nothing but their own self preservation via PAC contributions.

Lest we forget, Clyburn was a key to the corporate Dems' dynamiting Bernie Sanders' soaring 2016 presidential primary bid. For this alone, Clyburn should go to hell in a handbasket. As a public service, I will gladly donate the handbasket.

+ MiddleEastEye report on violent Settler with mossy teeth :

One social media user said: "With this one photograph you somehow told the story of contempt and impunity more effectively than thousands of existing images of brutal violence. It’s a reminder of the power that photography can still wield, despite everything."

See if you can spot the two US Senators "dispatched" by Israel on April 4, 5, 1991 in Hamilton Jordan's 1977 memo on AIPAC/Zionism:

A bulleted item -- partway down today's (4/16/26) Drop Site daily email -- notes that France and Italy are each advancing some version of a law citing the monumentally corrupt IHRA definition of antisemitism, conflating hatred of Jewish people with criticism of Israel.

A couple of dozen US states -- including Texas, where I live -- have each enacted some version of this bullsh*t IHRA definition.

A piece at FAIR.org, also published today, finds a contrasting situation in Iran (of all places). FAIR says: Reporting on Judaic studies in the holy city of Qom, the Forward‘s Larry Cohler-Esses (8/27/15) writes of “the absolute distinction between Judaism and Zionism that the [Iranian] government makes.” Source: https://fair.org/home/israel-destroys-a-synagogue-us-media-yawn/
