 Meryl Ann Butler: Why Trump said: "Do not bother to vote for me. It doesn't matter if you do." The Election Truth Alliance has been sharing the manipulated election data for months. Here is a video synopsis: |
Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: Arnold Isaacs, Airbrushing History, Today and Yesterday
In early June, the Washington Post published a follow-up to earlier stories on a Trump administration plan to remove thousands of photographs from Defense Department websites because of "DEI-related content[...]" |
 Anti-Trump Protests Planned Across U.S. on July 4 "They want us scared, divided, and alone. They don't want us to dream about freedom. But that's exactly what we have to do." This July 4, some Americans are planning to retire their Independence Day barbecues and instead head to the streets in protest against President Donald Trump and his Administration. The collective demonstrations will be the latest in a long line of protests that have taken place... |

Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: William D. Hartung, The Military-Industrial Complex Is Riding High
The Senate is on the verge of passing the distinctly misnamed "big beautiful bill." It is, in fact, one of the ugliest pieces of legislation to come out of Congress in living memory. The version that passed the House recently would cut $1.7 trillion, mostly in domestic spending, while providing the top 5% of taxpayers with roughly $1.5 trillion in tax breaks[...] |

Zohran Mamdani Defeated a Corrupt, Weak Democratic Party Establishment
Zohran Mamdani proved to be a superb campaigner with a message about affordability that resonated with voters. Cuomo, by contrast, was aloof and seemed to try to see as little of voters as he could get away with. Perhaps he felt that as a former governor, the job was beneath him. Like the 2024 presidential election, the mayoral primaries were a change election. Winning depended on harnessing voter anger. It's notable that Mam... |

ICE agents scatter as SD Bishop Pham, other clergy visit immigration court
Any other day, said a local activist, two to four immigrants would be detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and taken away in vans operated by private prison CoreCivic. Bishop Pham, himself a Vietnamese refugee as a child, said ICE agents were "standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents kind of scattered and went away. No wonder people come in fear." The mas... |

Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: William deBuys, It's the Mentality, Stupid
In the annals of national suicide, the present dismantling of the American state will surely rank high. It may not reach the apogee attained by Russia in its final Tsarist days or by Louis XVI in the run-up to the French Revolution, but Great Britain's Brexit hardly smolders compared to the anti-democratic dumpster fire of the Trump regime[...] |
 Alex Rut: Greenland is worth its weight in gold: what do the US and Denmark share? Greenland is the richest island with the poorest people, sandwiched between Denmark and the United States. America is once again hinting at a "purchase," while Denmark repents for its colonial sins, with no intention of relinquishing control. Will Greenland be able to break free from its historical bondage and choose its own path? 2 |
Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: Rebecca Gordon, The United Surveillance States of America
Sometime in the late 1980s, I was talking with a friend on my landline (the only kind of telephone we had then). We were discussing logistics for an upcoming demonstration against the Reagan administration's support for the Contras fighting the elected government of Nicaragua. We agreed that, when our call was done, I'd call another friend, "Mary," to update her on the plans. I hung up[...] |

Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: Engelhardt, King Trump
How strange. I've been going to demonstrations for a long, long while now. I began once upon a distant time in opposition to the nightmarish all-American war in Vietnam. And almost 60 years later, that war, in some sense, has come home[...] |

Craig Freeman: Conspiracy Against Rights
New York City corruption in the DA Office - Judge Laura Ward was willfully, intentionally, voluntarily and knowingly working as a participant in a corrupted enterprise with Ellen Biden, Alvin Bragg Jr and Letitia James pursuant to Tittle 18, Section 1961, Title 18, 241 and Title 18, Section 242 to deny me my right to due process as protected by the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution. |
Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: Alfred McCoy, Is Donald Trump America's King Canute?
He lived over 1,000 years ago, but King Canute's life still has some important lessons for our own time. After conquering England, Denmark, Norway, and part of Sweden, he forged a vast North Sea empire that made him, by the year 1030, the greatest of all the Viking kings[...] 1 |

Kathleen Murphy: Entire Right Back Side of President Kennedy's Head Completely Blown Out in Dallas but Altered by Naval Pathologists
The Warrwn Commission never took the testimony of the Dallas Parkland Hospital Doctors who saw Kennedy's massive head wound in the back of his head. It is up to us to correct the record for ourselves. Here are excerpts from Dr. Crenshaw's out of print 1992 testimony of what he witnessed in President Kennedy's operating room on 22 November 1963. 1 |

Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: David Vine, Some Good News! (Mostly.)
At a time when many may feel that good news has gone the way of the dodo, look no further than the homeland of that long-extinct bird -- Mauritius -- for a dose of encouragement. There, among the islands of the Indian Ocean, news can be found about the power of resistance and the ability of small groups of people to band together to overcome the powerful[...] |
 'No Kings' Was Biggest Protest in U.S. History: Data Analyst The "No Kings" protests in every state may have been the biggest day of demonstrations in American history, a data analyst has suggested. Based on hundreds of crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday, dependent data journalist G Elliott posted to X Sund... |
