‘Capitalism, colonialism, and ecological devastation are all cause and effect of each other, and they coevolved together.’
[In the wake of Trump’s sweeping victory, millions of young and working people are asking, “How did we get here?” To answer this question, we need to understand the root of the right wing’s recent growth—the crisis of capitalism itself.]
Trump and the far right all over the world are a reflection of a fundamentally broken system. When society is a haunted house of inequality and oppression, a few particularly loathsome ghouls are bound to emerge from time to time. But Trump is more than just a uniquely terrible manifestation of the crisis facing the system. He’s a symptom—and capitalism is the disease.]

A group of Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are requesting an investigation into Washington D.C. United States Attorney Ed Martin by the group that governs the region’s legal bar.
Ranking member Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) led a group of 10 Democrats on the committee in accusing Martin of abusing his position by using prosecution as an intimidation tactic toward government employees and limiting the speech of private citizens.

In 1982, Novello earned a master’s degree in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University and in 1986, she became a clinical professor of pediatrics at Georgetown University Hospital. Novello moved to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in 1987, where she focused on pediatric AIDS.
President George H.W. Bush took notice of Novello’s work on pediatric AIDS and, in 1990, appointed her the United States’ 14th Surgeon General, the nation’s top health official. She was the first woman and the first Hispanic person to serve as U.S. Surgeon General.
Novello focused on the health of women, children, and minorities during her tenure as Surgeon General. She launched initiatives to combat underage drinking and smoking. One of her most effective campaigns sought to end tobacco advertising aimed at children, such as ads with the “Joe Camel” cartoon.

The face of addiction and melting mind:
In February, during an interview on Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he had a “generic list” of staffers at the department he’d like to see removed.
“If you’ve been involved in good science, you have got nothing to worry about,” Kennedy said. “If you care about public health, you’ve got nothing to worry about. If you’re in there working for the pharmaceutical industry, then I’d say you should move out and work for the pharmaceutical industry.”
What a fop.
Draining the swamp, uh?
- Palantir said it delivered its first two TITAN systems to the U.S. Army.
- The company won the $178 million contract last March, beating out competitor RTX Corporation.
- The deal underscores the shifting landscape of software use on the battlefield and is the first time a software company has worked as a primary contractor for a significant hardware program.
The agreement includes a total of 10 TITAN systems. Each system includes an advanced system with two larger trucks and a basic system with two vehicles delivered over five delivery orders, Jain explained. The systems allow soldiers to make intelligence decisions without requiring the cloud, putting “all that power in the back of a truck,” he added.
Palantir also joined forces with Northrop Grumman, L3Harris and Palmer Luckey-founded defense tech startup Anduril Industries on some capabilities for the program.
The news from Palantir comes during a volatile period for the 2024 S&P 500 front-runner. Shares have lost more than one-fourth of their value over the past month as risk-off sentiment hits Wall Street and the buzzing tech sector. Last month, shares jumped 24% to a record high after the company reported strong earnings and guidance fueled by AI demand.
Infantino, meanwhile, said the task force will ensure that each of the visitors who will travel from around the world “feels safe, feels happy and feels that we are doing something special.”
“So we’re here to create and to make the best show on the planet ever,” Infantino said. He gave Mr. Trump a personalized game ball and unveiled an elaborate trophy that will go to the winner of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which will pit top soccer clubs against each other this summer ahead of next year’s matchup of national teams.
Soccer’s biggest tournament will have games spread across 16 host cities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico over the course of a month.
Eleven U.S. cities, including Philadelphia, will host World Cup matches. The 10 other U.S. host cities are Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, San Francisco and Seattle.

The cunts just love vets:
The Trump administration is planning to fire more than 80,000 employees at the department of Veterans Affairs (VA) nationwide and some employees in Madison have already been terminated.
It is unclear how many people lost their jobs. This comes after a memo issued Tuesday by the chief of VA explained there would be a restructuring of the department.
Wallace said staff at the VFW want to be a listening ear and a place of comfort. He says all employees have one mission, serving veterans.
“We are your advocates; we want you to provide the best care possible and not have to worry about these looming cuts that might disrupt your job,” Wallace added.
Nearly 15,000 people – including more than 1,500 children – are estimated to have died already because of President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s savage cuts to USAID, according to an advocacy program tracker.
The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the global health program funded by USAID that includes HIV treatment, testing and prevention drug distribution, has saved more than 25 million lives since it began in 2003 under former President George W. Bush.
A tracker compiled by the HIV Modeling Consortium – a network of epidemiologists, modelers, health economists and policymakers – charts the impact of the Trump administration’s freeze on funding for the AIDS’ program.
And fuck those cocksuckers, Aaron and Max and the lot of them, loving the total cuts to health assistance and food to the “third world.”
21:57 this part resonates deeply! I’ve often been disturbed by the seeming lack of acknowledgement of colonial harm in Europe. As a white settler in Canada it’s all around me and harder to ignore. I visited London a few years ago and was disgusted at the way the North American exhibit at the British museum described First Nations people. As if they’re a dead people. I was so angry I cried. Thanks for another excellent discussion you 3!
