Interview: "How Hawkish Democrats, from Schumer to Harris, Paved the Way for War with Iran" "The climate that the Democrats have helped lay in these 20 years of hawkish statements & resolutions... really made Trump’s job easier & has enabled him, thus far, to get away with it." Dem opposition has been "largely on procedural grounds without making a forceful moral case against war". ~Stephen Zunes https://www.democracynow.org/2026/4/23/stephen_zunes #USPol #EUPol #IranWar #USImperialism #neocons #news #racism .

Palantir has issued a far-right, racist manifesto denouncing "dysfunctional" & "regressive" cultures & critticising "attempts to hound wealthy figures out of public life by scrutinising their behaviour." It also called for "the expansion of AI weaponry." Palantir shares fell immediately. Palantir "has accelerated Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza", & yet the British govt has granted it access to NHS England. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/palantir-shares-slide-after-manifesto-post-denouncing-regressive-cultures #UKPol #USPol #EUPol #Palantir #racism #fascism #News .

Purge Palantir is a "campaign to raise awareness of the need to get Palantir out of our government and our lives."

At this point, I think we're probably still a long way from identifying the full web of influence, corruption, and misappropriation of resources behind Governor Ron DeSantis' concentration camp in the Florida Everglades, the obnoxiously named "Alligator Alcatraz." As such I'm going to keep this post pretty brief; more or less to keep the issue on our radar as more information emerges. With that caveat noted however, this Talking Points Memo article talks about the outlet's extremely nascent investigation into how DeSantis built the concentration camp, who paid for it, and who profits from it. Would it surprise you to learn that Florida's fascist governor is using a fake "emergency" to make this monstrous bullshit happen, the money trail is a hot mess, and Florida taxpayers are going to be the folks footing the bill for Ron's nazi apology to Downmarket Mussolini? Yeah, it didn't surprise me either. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/contracts-desantis-alligator-alcatraz Contracts Show Millions of Dollars and Diverted Disaster Resources Were Used to Build DeSantis’ ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ "TPM has obtained and analyzed over a dozen contracts and invoices related to the construction and operation of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention camp in the Everglades. The documents identify eight previously undisclosed companies — including two firms with a Fortune 500 pedigree — involved with the controversial facility. They also show that, in at least one instance, resources allocated for the state’s “disaster preparedness” apparatus were diverted to the site as DeSantis’ office used emergency powers to quickly establish the camp, causing a shortfall that needs to be addressed during the ongoing hurricane season." I must confess that part of me feels like I'm insulting my readers' intelligence when I remind folks, over and over again, that nightmare concentration camps for migrants, many of whom are guilty of nothing more than a civil violation, would be an unacceptable eliminationist outrage even if nobody was profiteering from it and it cost the public coffers zero dollars. In the grand scheme of things the lies, corruption, and misappropriation of public funds are a side story compared to the fact that we've just opened a real as fuck concentration camp in a remote part of Florida and there are already reports of widespread human rights abuses and unsafe conditions emerging mere weeks after "Alligator Alcratraz" opened. With that having been said, informed observers must know by now that the rich nazis running the larger American fascist movement do have designs on profiting from fascist repression, ethnic cleansing, and the migrant carceral complex - and projects like Alligator Alcatraz demonstrate how that odious business functions. If you want to know the names of the eleven companies already identified as working with the government of Florida to make this eliminationist bullshit possible, who is getting paid for what, and how many of the folks directly profiting from this are DeSantis donors (there are several) I recommend you just read the article. The short version here however is that like Trump, DeSantis has declared "an alarming number of migrants in Florida" to be a state level crisis, he then used emergency powers to divert a bunch of money, including from disaster prevention and relief funding in a state notorious for having a "hurricane season," to build a fucking concentration camp surrounded by alligators as a make up gift for his ally and former GOP nomination opponent, President Trump. Along the way a bunch of very shitty companies are raking in the money for substandard work, and the entire DeSantis administration is working overtime to keep as much of this as possible a complete secret from anyone who might be in a position to conduct any oversight on this genocidal nazi boondoggle. Think "Halliburton in post-Saddam Iraq" but on a smaller scale. #Fascism #Trump #RonDeSantis #AlligatorAlcatraz #Racism #ConcentrationCamp #MigrantRights #Immigration #EthnicCleansing #Corruption #Graft #Bribery #Eliminationism #EthnoNationalism #Investigation

Racism and politics Sensitive
I'm still chuckling at Shame Jones' attempt to do a racism and how badly it's backfiring on him. As far as racisms go, it is (possibly quite appropriately) the weakest of weak sauce. Butter chicken is (famously) very mild, basically just chicken stewed in cream and coloured with turmeric. There is - NOTHING - scary about it. It's a very nice meal, but hot and/or spicy it ain't. If there was a literal tsunami of butter chicken on the horizon I'd be heading out to the beach with as many clean bowls, buckets and pots as I could find. A few years back there was an almost-chemist woo shop between my work and the closest car park. For a while, out in front of it were big displays of Super Good-For-You stuff: turmeric and apple cider vinegar. I figured out quickly that I could duplicate the (supposed) effects much more cheaply with a curry and a bottle of cider and get a decent meal as well as the Super Health Benefits. Tomorrow night is specials night at my local curry place and I might just vote with my feet. Might get a balti. Might get a bhuna. Might get a rogan josh. Might make a nod to my Scottish heritage and get a tikka masala. And hopefully none of Shame Jones' little shitbags will try to make trouble while normal people are queueing up for normal dinners. #Racism #NZPol #ButterChickenTsunami

"Trump has now formulated a new racism expressed in [the National Security Strategy] document as 'civilizational.' He states outright that Europe and our NATO allies are facing 'civilizational erasure' by allowing immigration from other countries that go unnamed but are clearly not 'European.' This is formulating the Great Replacement Theory as U.S. national policy." ~ Lucian K. Truscott #Trump #NationalSecurity #Europe #Russia #NATO #WhiteSupremacy #racism /1 https://luciantruscott.substack.com/p/trump-makes-the-racist-great-replacement

"Now he has admitted the truth. His unhappiness with NATO is racist. For Trump and adherents to his cause, European nations have become insufficiently white. Trump’s national security strategy supports 'unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history.' That would be the kind of lily-white history he wants taught in American schools and universities." #Trump #NationalSecurity #Europe #Russia #NATO #WhiteSupremacy #racism #GreatReplacement /2

"It comes as no surprise to learn that it will be U.S. strategy to support so-called 'patriotic European parties,' for which we should read the overtly racist Nazi-worshipping Alternative For Germany political party that Vice President Vance praised so effusively in February that he practically drooled down his shirt at the Munich Security Conference." #Trump #NationalSecurity #Europe #Russia #NATO #WhiteSupremacy #racism #GreatReplacement /3

"On Friday, the White House released a document that will forever transform the way the United States sees its role in the world and the way the world sees itself with respect to us. It is a document that will far outlive Donald Trump and MAGA, for it underscores the fickleness of our nation." ~ Julie Roginsky #Trump #NationalSecurity #Europe #Russia #NATO #WhiteSupremacy #racism #GreatReplacement /4 https://saltypolitics.substack.com/p/breaking-welcome-to-trumpistan

"American voters saw what Trump was capable of during his first term, lived through the alternative and decided that they preferred a dime-store autocrat to democracy after all. It is a gift to dictators and kleptocrats (but I repeat myself) and a horror to the West, to our allies and to the Pax Americana. In short, it is a catastrophic nightmare." #Trump #NationalSecurity #Europe #Russia #NATO #WhiteSupremacy #racism #GreatReplacement /5

"There is simply no upside to attacking Bad Bunny and Latino pride, which is what he did last night on Truth Social, and from which he will never back away. He has thrown away the support he gathered in 2024 from Latinos, I mean, he has just trashed it. And every Latino in this country knows this truth:" ~ Lucian K.

Trump thinks depicting black people as apes/monkeys is okay. He just said so. He's daring you to do something about it. ☑️ Trump Says He Won't Apologize for Racist Video of the Obamas That Went on His Truth Social "I looked at the beginning of it.

"My initial reaction was to despair yet again at the bigotry of RT and to deplore his use of racism for political ends. On reflection, though, I found the fact that this horrible attempt to stigmatise minorities had already become official Tory policy deeply disturbing." #racism #xenophobia #CONservatives https://nation.cymru/news/less-bigotry-and-more-scrutiny-please/
