    American concentration camps

    Originally published: ScheerPost on April 17, 2025 (more by ScheerPost) (Posted Apr 19, 2025)

    Our offshore concentration camps, for now, are in El Salvador and Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. But don’t expect them to remain there. Once they are normalized, not only for U.S.-deported immigrants and residents, but U.S. citizens, they will migrate to the homeland.

    How the Trump administration is using civil rights complaints over ‘antisemitism’ to end DEI and quash dissent on Palestine

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on April 17, 2025 by Amira Jarmakani (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Apr 18, 2025)

    The Trump administration’s recent investigation of 60 schools for “antisemitic discrimination” appeared to target campus protests. But, a closer look shows it was driven by pro-Israel groups’ use of civil rights law to push a broad right-wing agenda.

    Originally published: The Grayzone on April 14, 2025 by Oscar León (more by The Grayzone)  | (Posted Apr 16, 2025)

    There are alarming echoes of the notorious Nazi-organised exhibition in America today—but we also need to acknowledge the differences between the world today and 1930s Europe.

  • The Elwha River, pictured here, is one of Olympic National Park's most important natural features. The illegal construction of two dams in the early 1900s blocked salmon from reaching their ancestral upstream spawning sites, but both are now gone, and the Elwha flows freely from its headwaters to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This is a view of the river from where the Glines Canyon Dam used to be. (Photo: Andrew Villeneuve/NPI)

    Pentagon chief nominee wants to expand NATO’s nuclear sharing policy

    Originally published: Defend Democracy Press on April 2, 2025 by Drago Bosnic (more by Defend Democracy Press)  | (Posted Apr 12, 2025)

    Although the new administration is looking to refocus on the Asia-Pacific, the policy of expanded nuclear sharing makes sense, as it could ameliorate NATO’s growing conventional inferiority against the battle-hardened Russian military. For over 60 years, the United States has been implementing the so-called nuclear sharing policy with various NATO member states. One of the […]

    Trump’s slump

    Originally published: The Next Recession on April 9, 2025 (more by The Next Recession)  | (Posted Apr 12, 2025)
