Dear Friends,                                                                                                    Briefings

            ~ Kennedy fires entire vaccine advisory committee, made up of experts in the necessary fields; replaces them with people with no expertise or training, who are also, most of them, anti-vax conspiracy theorists.

            ~ Are there any circumstances under which it would be necessary to prevent a father from seeing his new-born child? What about when the father is not even accused of any crime? Anyway, we all celebrate your reunion, Mahmoud, Noor, Deen. I won’t speak for anyone else, but I know you will continue in the struggle for the freedom of the Palestinian People. I support that struggle.

            ~ Who are the people that ICE is arresting, detaining deporting? Their own data shows that they are not murderers and rapists, they are not the worst of the worst. So who are they?

            ~ A wrongly deported man, now, after huge efforts by the judiciary, returned, will stay in jail because of the danger that the “authorities” will deport him again if he is free and out on the streets, or even in the privacy of his own home.

            ~ The “star witness” against Kilmar Abrego Garcia (aforementioned) is a three-time-convicted felon. He has not only been released, but also assured that he will not be deported, in exchange for his testimony against Abrego Garcia.

            ~ In a deal with President Nayib Bukele (“cool” dictator) of El Salvador, Trump has released a number of the leaders of MS-13, the violent and murderous gang that has served as one of his chief examples of the horde of rapists and murderers rampaging unchecked through all America, but, especially, “blue cities”. Why? Well it turns out that Bukele would quite like to bring them home, because he’s made a deal with the gang to, as far as I understand it, become one more death squad (with or without black Ford Falcons).

            ~ Are you familiar with the term “dead giveaway”?

            ~ Marjorie Taylor Greene is a fearless defender of women against the most dangerous and terrifying threats to them. First it was transgender people, 0.6% of the population of the US. Now it’s “Muslims”, leaving aside their vast diversity, geographical, cultural, theological, all together, 1.1% of the population. Well, just a little bit more than transgender people … but what if they joined together, gasp!, 1.7%! But please, all of my women friends, Marjorie is out their tirelessly fighting for you.

            ~ If I were Bibi I’d be begging Trump to shut the f**k up about the “witch hunt”. If you’re on trial for gross corruption the last defender you want is our own convicted felon president.

            ~ What does the term Late Capitalism mean? It’s when over-tourism becomes a world-wide problem.

Love and solidarity,

            Bobby
