The modern rush to categorize public tragedies as isolated incidents relies heavily on an engineered collective amnesia. When a Black body is found hanging in a public space today, the immediate bureaucratic reflex is often to offer a swift conclusion that closes the book before the pages can even be read. It is a modern manifestation of the "don't ask, don't tell" approach to racial trauma ... an effort to treat history as a closed chapter rather than an ongoing current.  True accountability in these spaces does not come from executive offices or official press releases, it is dug out of the ground by those willing to fund the independent forensic work that local institutions refuse to prioritize. It is an exhausting, unglamorous resistance to the large gorilla in the societal room.  For those of us who have spent decades pushing against these exact social winds, this architecture of institutional silence is intimately familiar. It carries a heavy, unmistakable e...

  The notion of "equal justice under law" is simply that and nothing more. A notion. With the current incarnation of the Supreme Court of the United States of America routinely granting trumpf a green light to ride roughshod over all Americans civil and constitutional rights, 'we the people' are shit the fuck out of luck. There is no luck nor justice equal or otherwise to be had from the Supremes. On Friday September 26, 2026, the Supremes gave trumpf the green light to "screen voter rolls for possible ineligible people being allowed to vote." Under a Department of Homeland Security program titled 'the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements' database whose original purpose was to check if noncitizens qualified for government benefits so the spy widget is to trawl through state voter rolls and link those rolls to information supposedly confirming citizenship. A rather Kafka-esque bureaucratic twisting of alleged "law", the entire pre...

  The United States Congress, the House of Representatives and the Imperial Senate, are struggling with legislation that would increase the hourly wage for employees of our government. The hourly wage for entry level federal government workers is an approximately $15.00 an hour and of course that base rate is modified to fit job descriptions and the possibility of luring qualified candidates. Much of any debate about minimum salaries is mostly smoke and mirrors with little to near nothing to do with what are the actual facts concerning wages earned. Workers in low wage states which are broken down into about 20 states using a $7.25 minimum wage and refusing to increase that amount and the 30 states that start entry level employees generally at $15.00 an hour so ... the debate over minimum wage level and entry level wages is mostly smoke and mirrors with an inordinate amount of political hype and party jargon with much ado about nothing. Per the usual performance of bullshit...

  That would of course be trumpf. After trumpf's thoroughly wack job speech at the United Nations General Assembly, the world is looking at the United States rather cautiously and with well meaning suspicion. The crazy old freak basically put the world on notice that yes indeed ... orange adolf pedofuhrer donorrhea trumpf is woefully insane and needs to be "preempted." Sad situation no doubt. Should trumpf indeed have a massive cardiac attack, stroke, assassination, or just straight up and die ... well, junior vance the veep would be next in the line of succession and junior would become president #48. Junior vance hasn't the brains 'god' gave a fire amoeba. That's probably an insult to the fire amoebas of our world but none-the-less, the comparison is made. Junior vance isn't exactly playing with a full deck. An even worse scenario would be IF trumpf then vance gets cacked, Speaker of the House one Mikey 'spineless' Johnson would be next in li...

  Evidently trumpf was the headline speaker at the United Nations General Assembly. The U.N. Secretary General Guterres opened the session followed by an opening speech by Brazil's President Lula de Silva and then it was time for trumpf. Trumpf got the headline spot for the simple reason that the United States is the host nation for the United Nations. Seems to me that any United Nations General Assembly Hall should rightly be in Geneva, Switzerland. The Swiss are notoriously neutral on any and all geopolitical issues. So old trumpf began by informing the world that his war on Iran is because ... ummm ... ohhh ... ummm again ... well ... the Iranians are really bad guys and if the Iranians don't agree to a "peace treaty" then trumpf will "annihilate the Islamic Republic" and trumpf left hanging how in all actuality he would "annihilate" Iran. Most everyone already concludes that trumpf wants to nuke Iran and that would most certainly mark the end o...

  The world is gathering in New York City for High Level Week of the United Nations General Assembly. Yep, just about any nation that is will be showing up in NYC to attend the General Assembly. Except not Palestine. Palestine and Palestinian people do not exist. That would be on account of 1) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas can't get a visa from Marques Rubio Secretary of State U.S. of A.. 2) - Palestinians can't catch a break anywhere. So as the General Assembly begins their week long soiree of speeches upon speeches upon more speeches, not Palestinian people of any form, shape, size, intention, or whatever will be able to speech. Palestinians do not exist except when the Israelis are cranking up bombing campaigns, coldblooded murder, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and of course that ever so popular Palestinian holocaust. You see the Israelis took all that Nazi ethnic cleansing shit to heart and incorporated that Nazi nasty bullshit into official Israeli dealings with a Pa...
