No need to wonder who's in charge. Israel is Washington’s most favoured client state, but it *has* to operate within parameters laid down by the US.

At the same time, Israel influences "those parameters in its own interests, chiefly by shaping military, political & cultural discourse in the US through the many levers available to it."

Just ask whose particular interests are prevailing at any one time.

This is a perfect example of why we shouldn't tell people to "vote blue, no matter who." This guy will have a "D" after his name on the ballot. It is imperative that voters do their own research.

PBS documentary - “White with Fear.”

Directed and written by Andrew Goldberg, nominated for a Writers Guild of America award, the film explores the GOP’s dark mastery of selling racism without being overtly racist.

"There is now a white fear industrial complex, where many people get very rich and very powerful by telling white America that they are under constant assault."

White with Fear

Examine how some of America’s conservative political machine uses racial fault lines to gain power.

Yes! more than 8 million people! in a country so reluctant to protest like the US this is quite a feat!
Of course it is still disappointing that not more people went to the streets.. Everyone not protesting at this stage, but who could (physically) protest, is just complicit in the crimes of this government.

"What struck me most wasn’t just the anger. It was how many people told me this was their first protest.

What I saw in Weehawken, NJ - first-time protesters marching alongside veteran protestors, a mayor walking his own streets, state legislators showing up on a Saturday, and organizers who a year ago had never run a rally now building a real grassroots movement.

It’s called democracy, and metaphorically, it’s now playing at a theater near you."

I live in Weehawken, New Jersey, directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan, where I spent 30 years of my life, and where, on any given Saturday, most of the action is.

No Kings protests: Thousands across the US rally against Trump

One of the flagship No Kings rallies happened in Minnesota, where singer Bruce Springsteen preformed to crowds.

^{Sakshi Venkatraman (BBC News)}

Thank you to every person who had choices about where to protest today, and still chose to add their number to a smaller protest.

Sure, it's absolutely impressive to see Philly, Boston, Chicago, L.A. But what's really impressive to me are the smaller towns with enthusiastic participants. It's different when you don't have a big crowd where you can blend in. Granted, I would like to experience one of those huge crowds to see what it's like, but I will probably always prioritize the smaller communities deep in red territory. They might need me more.

At any rate, I am happy for every person who is a part of this in any way whatsoever.

And thank you, Minneapolis/St. Paul for bearing more than your share, and leading the way. We salute you!
