The entire Republican Party is pretty much openly fascist now.

Would someone please reassure me that these creepy fuckers will not get control of the government again? Anyone? Clippy?

After the murder of Yitzhak in 1995 I felt that something did break in

Peres, Barak or Olmert at least offered a glimpse of hope.

But Sharon, murderous Sharon, and then, again and again:

And now: total destruction of and like behaviour towards ICJ

After 6 months, I've had to resubscribe to Adobe PS. I work with too many people who send me PS files and there is no alternative that can open and save them reliability. It sad how many "helper" apps Adobe installs and how often they try to connect to the internet. I block them all, but it's scary. I have to unblock them every 30 days. Please do not suggest alternatives unless you know for a fact they load and save .psd files seamlessly. Do not suggest GIMP or I block you.

    The most consistent bright spot in the dark swirl of US politics is the competence of the Biden Administration's progressive enforcers: people like , and , who keep demonstrating just how far a good administrator can go.

    Today in Labor History August 10, 1923: Italian-American anarchist and IWW organizer Carlo Tresca was arrested in the United States on the charge of publishing anti-fascist literature. Tresca opposed fascism, Stalinism and mafia-infiltration of unions. He was assassinated in 1943. Some believe the Soviets killed him in retaliation for his criticism of Stalin. The most recent research suggests it was the Bonanno crime family, in response to his criticism of the mafia and Mussolini. Tresca wrote two books. His autobiography was published posthumously in 2003. He also wrote a book in Italian, “L'attentato a Mussolini ovvero il segreto di Pulcinella.”

    Fascist Russia's actions are best understood if you view it as a gangster state. It uses blackmail, coercion, manipulation, lies, threats, and violence as it attempts to achieve its aims.

    The Russian state doesn't care if it's not loved, or even respected. It only wants to be feared, because that's what allows it to achieve its aims. Indeed, one of the reasons Russia's doing so badly in its war against Ukraine is that Ukrainians don't fear the Kremlin.
