In 1948, a photo summarized centuries of injustice. The man in suit and tie, standing before photographers, broke into tears. He was George Gillette, leader of the Mandan, Arikara, and Hidatsa tribes of the Missouri River.
The document in his hands was not a negotiated settlement. It was the forced secession of ancestral lands from his people to the U.S. government. More than 150,000 native ancestral acres, full of homes, schools, churches, and fertile fields. The US government forced him to hand over the land so they could flood it all by building the Garrison dam.
Gillette knew that with his signature he sealed a permanent tragedy. But if he didn’t, the tribes would receive NO compensation, The US government would simply take the land. Through tears he said "Today we sign under protest. Our hands are tied, but our hearts are sad."
The dam flooded entire villages, erased old communities, and buried centuries of indigenous history.
We must not whitewash American history in our schools.

Please share this message.
There are 100,000s of Jews who are against the Zionist State of Israel and Zionism.
Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism.
Criticizing Israel is not antisemitism.
Zionism is not Judaism, and Israel does not represent the Jewish people.

.@PeteHegseth tells @JackPosobiec what he says to young men who feel like the system is against them:
"Come join the War Department ... We want young men, we want strong men, we want men who want to do tough things."

.@WhiteHouse @PressSec Listen you fucking buffoons. We heard very clearly exactly what that madman Trump said, and what he said was, he invited the cities of San Diego and Los Angeles to be taken out by a foreign power. There’s no getting around it. The words are exact so fuck off.

🇧🇷🇺🇸 Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva:
"The US lied about Iran's nuclear weapons just like it lied about Iraq. It provoked this war. Now Trump says oil owners must pay him 20% for each ship he claims to unblock.
That used to be called piracy."

So, the Green Party voted to brand Zionism as a form of racism - and all hell broke loose in the mainstream media that for years has been tolerating the Palestinian genocide.
Now, on the specific issue, of whether Zionism is a species of racism, here is what I can offer: A recommendation for a forthcoming book that I was privileged enough to get a chance to read before it was published.
The author is Benjamin Moser, the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'Sontag: Her Life and Work'.
The book's title? 'Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History'.
Below you can find the blurb I wrote when I read it. I think it says everything I want to say on the question "Is Zionism a species of racism?"
Benjamin Moser grew up inside the Zionist story. This remarkable book is a record of his slow, painful unlearning of it – its deconstruction. Resembling some character in an Ibsen play, Moser gradually, unwittingly, discovers an unpunished crime at the heart of a storyline he had considered ‘pure’. The result is not a polemic but a resurrection of a fine tradition of Jews who resisted Zionism, whose stories were suppressed, their names erased, their portents dismissed as self-hatred. And yet, as Moser shows with devastating patience, they were right. They were right about the Nakba before it happened. They were right about the settlements before they spread. They were right about the genocide before we watched it unfold. More than any other recent book, Anti-Zionism restores our faith in what Iris Murdoch defined as the Sovereignty of Good.

Our mainstream media would NEVER investigate to see if there was truth here. Why? Their Zionist bosses would fire them. @DavidMuir @LlamasNBC @tonydokoupil @IanPannell @ImtiazTyab @RichardEngel @ABC @CBSNews @NBCNews @ProvokedPodcast @scotthortonshow @RickSanchezTV @TCNetwork

You aren’t fooling anyone, Kushner. You’re as corrupt as your father-in-law. You learned from the best. And he learned from the best. You guys could teach a master class in corruption.

So, many of our fellow, blue-MAGA, ostrich American citizens seem very comfortable ignoring the horrific truths about Zionism/Epstein class/oligarch/military authoritarian psychopathology running and ruining America and most of the world.
They watch their convenient, blue-flavored, oligarch/Zionist-run propaganda corporate US media and treat us genuine progressive messengers and activists with condescension, patronization, disdain. It has groomed them. It has weaponized them against us
They act as if Trump and red MAGA are exclusively the problem enabling fascism and savage domestic and international violence when much of the deadweight contributing to the problem is via opportunistic, cronied, callous, amoral Democratic politicians who have forsaken their constituents and humanity itself for decades now, due to greed, cowardice, intimidation, power-lust, bribery and/or blackmail.
We leftist messengers are socially marginalized by this blue MAGA, egotistical, Dem citizenry.
These blue MAGA egotists/narcissists are a stark throwback to the “good Germans” of the days of Hitler.
Willful Ignorance is their “centrist” faux-bliss.
Meanwhile our government has been steadily killing and maiming millions and millions of innocents of the global family since WW2. An undeniable reality.
How can ignoring this reality be regarded as anything but “willful” ignorance?
The facts of carnage have clearly, often belatedly, been revealed over the decades, though profoundly and successfully minimized by a combined white and Jewish supremacist culturally collective subconsciousness.
Time to honestly face how this critical mass of American Dem citizenry are tragically sociopathic, adding to the ugly pathologies of the Republican red MAGA critical mass.
Time to stop walking on eggshells around these willfully amoral, authoritarian-following fellow citizens, often friends and family.
They sabotage our own sense of existential security and our own responsibility to uphold morality.
Time to turn up the dial of their cognitive dissonance discomfort by asserting our truths harder.
Time to explode their fantasy about the Democratic Party as rescuer. It is actually a Trojan Horse, helping to embed fascism with more and more unconscionable evils for innocent US citizens and members of the global family via amoral weasel Democratic politicians, long exploiting our tax money and our basic need to trust our governance, hiding as frustrated faux-“good guys” behind the more overtly evil Trump and other Republican Party politicians.

Trump is an AIPAC-owned Zionist puppet, with $230,473,622-worth of promises, made during the presidential campaign, to deliver for Miriam Adelson & Co. throughout his 2nd Term.
Just as he had to [ & DID!] during his 1st Term.
Nov 3rd can’t come soon enough!

Zionists are good at creating their own reality. What else would you expect of a people who have no problem slaughtering innocent women and children and stealing their homes and land? One must understand the basic tenets of the political ideology of Zionism. Their tenets are very similar to that of another political ideology, Nazism.
