They knew Biden wouldn't do anything. The media knows that Trump will block access if they actually do "investigative" journalism.

Thats the power of foxnews, oan and conservative media. The whole hunter biden thing was debunked. But they still successfully pushed it. Jared Kushner got a journalist killed and 2 billion dollars from the saudis conservative media aint say nothing.

The only reason why he went up to 145% was because of his pride and ego.

 

[easy_b]

He never had leverage in the first place

Marching Backwards? 60 years after Bloody Sunday​ By Greg Palast, May 11, 2025

[/td]​

[td]

[td] This March, we commemorated the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when voting rights leader John Lewis of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee was beaten nearly to death by cops and Klansmen on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. The youngest marcher, Lynda Blackmon Lowery, was beaten so badly she was put in a hearse to take to the morgue. But when the unconscious Lynda woke up in the hearse, she jumped up, ran out, and ran straight across the bridge into the teargas and Klansmen. I want you to listen to her story taken from my film, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. ​ [td] ​ I’d like you to listen to Lynda for two reasons: first, to know our history, and unfortunately, possibly, horribly, our future. Trump’s executive order, “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” issued March 25, is the most vicious Jim Crow order America has seen since segregation, since the 1965 march over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. How to defeat the forces that would watch democracy bleed to death and applaud? The same way we defeated the same Jim Crow forces 60 years ago: Marching Voting Voting Registering Voting Voting Re-registering And then marching to protect that vote. Repeat Though the first attempt to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge, on March 7, 1965, ended when state troopers and Klansmen attacked the 600 unarmed voting rights activists, when Martin Luther King, Jr. led the march over the bridge once again, on March 21, this time, the marchers did not stop for 50 miles until they reached to the state capital, Montgomery. And by the time they got there, President Lyndon Johnson introduced the Voting Rights Act, considered an impossible feat just weeks before. On March 25, 1965, King spoke to the world from the steps of the Capitol building. (Trump clearly picked the 60th Anniversary of King’s historic speech to issue his Order cutting the heart out of voting rights.) King told the triumphant crowd, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Hank Sanders, who as a student was there with King, added, “The arc of justice does not bend by itself. That’s why I walk across the Pettus Bridge every chance I get.” Sanders, a lawyer whose parents could not vote in 1965, now represents Selma in the state legislature. Sanders insisted I join him walking across the bridge with another young marcher of 1965, Marcia Edwards. Marcia sang, “We Shall Overcome.” Blackmon Lowery told me that King, joining her church choir in the song, told the congregation that we SHALL overcome, not “we will only overcome if it’s easy, if it’s safe.” Crossing the bridge with Sen. Sanders and Edwards, we didn’t face tear gas nor police beatings. In fact, the state police cleared the bridge for us. Who says there is no progress? But we cannot take progress for granted. Indeed, right now I feel like we are marching backwards over the bridge. I’ve explained that vote suppression cost Kamala Harris some 3 million votes in the last election, and thereby the presidency. And with new laws allowing the return of Ku Klux Klan voter challenges, with literally millions of voters who will be purged from voter rolls this year, the issue of Voting Rights must be our first, second, and third priorities. As Sen. Sanders says, “Voting impacts everything in our lives. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the work we do. The right to vote will always be under attack. When we march, we go forward. When we stop marching, we go backward.” ​ [td] ​

Above: MLK crosses the bridge for voting rights in 65. Will you cross the bridge to protect the rights he fought for 60 years ago? (Still from The Best Democracy Money Can Buy).​

Marching Forward​

The Palast Investigative Fund is embarking on a new series of investigations, working with the legal and action teams at the NAACP of Georgia, Black Voters Matter Fund, and Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH organization to block the new Trump Crow attacks. We have work to do. As Lynda Blackmon Lowery told me, two weeks after Bloody Sunday, King asked a Selma church group, “Who will walk with me?” The adult congregants, who’d just been beaten and arrested, were in no mood to do it again. But the children stood up and filed out to lead the march. And their parents followed. So, now I’m asking you, “Who will walk with spirit of Dr. King over that spiritual bridge? The answer must be: you and me. Because in the end, there is no one else. In the meantime, please watch The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, the post-election edition, for no charge.

Shipping rates are about to explode, FYI.

The second that the pause on Chinese tariffs is announced, every single company is going to rush to have their inventory sent out of China.

There isn’t enough excess capacity to handle all this shipping at once.

Here comes the 2nd part of the completely unnecessary and avoidable disaster to the supply chain that we will experience.

So we're going to be short on supplies for a brief period of time, immediately followed by surge of surplus items. With the future after that still being uncertain.

I'm not an economist or anything, but this seems like a bad way to do business.

Sad part about them is that they only care because it happened to them. They are more than willing to vote for our demise

Congress needs to take back control of the tariff situation or dems need to pound the repugs for taking back control of tariffs while they are scared of Trump

Another pause, not a deal... why do people believe Trump lies

Because that's the point, folks aren't going to read and they're going to rely on the narrative. It's the slow-cook method. Its why I warned one of the posters yesterday about hyping a storm that isn't going to come. This administration is slowly tearing the credibility of the press apart and they don't see it. For example, he leaves on Wednesdays and returns on Sundays. When he's with the press on Sunday afternoons, he's in a suit, and the article never states that he's on his way back from his golf course. The headlines never state that this guy is spending taxpayers money every damn weekend. So when folks post stories of empty shelves and its not that bad, you will end up looking like John Bolaris. Because that's the point. So when the government really gets the party started and they turn off the internet, folks aren't going to know what to do and who to believe.

give it time , they'll regret that move !

The American Dilemma was the blueprint on how to destroy Africa was written for those people in mind. The prodigal son has come home. Thanks, Carnegie Foundation!

The true answer,

1. They are white.

2. The apartheidists are classified as refugees. And therefore acceptable for immigration to America. Note: Afghanis were brought here as refugees after the war...their status as refugees has been dropped.

The Department of Homeland Secretary will not renew temporary protections for thousands of Afghans in the U.S. — setting them up for potential deportation starting on May 20

3. Trump and musk are white nationalists.

4 thru 10 - They are white.
