“My God Israel supporters are exhausting. I’ve never gotten used to it. ‘Wahh, Zohran Mamdani wants to murder Jews!’ ‘Wahh, the musician hurt the IDF’s feelings!’ Shut up. Shut up. Shut the whole entire fuck up. Everyone is sick of your bullshit. There is a genocide happening. A genocide. Babies are being starved. IDF soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they’re being ordered to massacre desperately hungry civilians at aid sites. There are vast stretches of the Gaza Strip that now look like the surface of the moon. Trump and Netanyahu are openly working to purge the Palestinian territory of Palestinians so the land can be permanently taken from them. Your feelings don’t matter. The world does not revolve around you and your feelings.” (07/02/25)

“A man who has a twisted, revisionist theory about the Holocaust and the history of Jewish suffering has a real chance to become the mayor of the largest populated Jewish city outside of Israel. Let that sink in. A man who was asked to condemn ‘Globalize the Intifada,’ a violent, vicious series of uprisings against Jews across Israel, and refused to do so may become mayor of New York City. ‘To me, ultimately, what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights,’ Zohran Mamdani said, notably with no regrets. He never backed down, and instead of apologizing to the Jewish community, decided to take a moment to speak about Islamophobia.” [editor’s note: Ah, the usual use of Jews as human shields for the actions of Zionists and the Israeli regime — as if opposing Idi Amin meant hating black people – TLK] (07/02/25)

“The Dalai Lama has declared that the institution of the Tibetan Buddhist leader will continue after his death and that responsibility for finding his successor will ‘rest exclusively’ with his foundation, contradicting Beijing’s attempts to exert control over the religious figure’s selection. ‘No one else has any such authority to interfere in this matter,’ the Dalai Lama said Wednesday at a gathering of Tibetan leaders in the Indian city of Dharamshala in the run-up to his 90th birthday on Sunday. The Dalai Lama’s video address sets up a potential clash with Beijing, which views the Tibetan spiritual leader as a dangerous separatist and insists that the Chinese government must approve the selection of the next Dalai Lama.” (07/02/25)

“CBS parent Paramount Global on Tuesday said it would pay $16 million to settle a voter interference lawsuit filed by President Trump last October, even as press freedom advocates warned the company was buckling to political pressure. A settlement likely clears the way for Paramount Global to merge with Skydance Media. Paramount and Skydance agreed to merge in a deal worth more than $8 billion last July. The deal is largely seen as an escape valve for owner Shari Redstone, who has faced pressure from shareholders to offload the legacy TV asset while it still has value. … Paramount said no amount will be paid directly or indirectly to the president or fellow plaintiff Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) under the agreement, but it will go toward their legal fees and costs and Trump’s future presidential library.” (07/02/25)

“Cryptocurrencies are largely speculative digital assets that investors buy in the hope that their value will go up, through a series of wild fluctuations, as other speculators also buy them. But the one prominent practical, real-world use that has emerged is that they are the perfect medium to curry favor with the president of the United States by increasing his net worth.” (07/02/25)

“The 14th Amendment guarantees that all children born in the United States are citizens. It aimed to undo the notorious Dred Scott ruling, which held that some people born here (Black people, to be precise, free and formerly enslaved) nevertheless were not citizens. As you’ll recall, just hours into his term, President Donald Trump signed an executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship. The order was, and remains, unconstitutional. The Supreme Court chose this case, out of all the possible cases, to strip judges of a key power used to stop illegal actions. Instead of ruling on the merits in Trump v. CASA, the justices chose to rule on the legality of universal injunctions, among the strongest tools that lower courts use to block flagrantly unconstitutional policies like these from taking effect while cases play out.” (07/02/25)

“Wisconsin’s Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a ruling that invalidated an 1849 state law banning nearly all abortions and said Wisconsin women will continue to have access to critical abortion-related health services. The 4-3 ruling by the Democratic-controlled state supreme court upheld a December 2023 decision by Dane County Judge Diane Schlipper in Kaul v. Urmanski that says Wisconsin’s strict abortion law did not apply to voluntary abortions, but did to feticide. Justice Rebecca Dallet argued in the court’s majority opinion that the state effectively repealed its own 176-year-old law when lawmakers passed additional laws that regulated abortion access in Wisconsin, which was backed up in the lawsuit by state Attorney General Josh Kaul.” (07/02/25)
