"We’ve heard plenty about the GOP members of Congress and Trump political appointees who have 'enabled' Donald Trump over these four years, failing to act to stem his excesses. But what about the billionaire donors to Trump’s campaign and his victory PACs?  Especially those who gave substantial donations in 2019 and 2020, when it was clear that Trump was causing a crisis in our democracy? Unlike those who gave to the 2016 campaign but distanced themselves from Trump after seeing him in action, will there be any accountability for these most recent billionaire enablers of Donald Trump who saw what damage he caused–but still stood by him? ...

Watch for our forthcoming IPS report and reporting on 'Trump’s Billionaire Enablers.' But here are a few initial findings: The Institute for Policy Studies identified 63 U.S. billionaires who gave a combined $33 million to the Trump Victory Fund in the last two years.  Trump Victory was a joint fundraising account for the Trump 2020 campaign and the Republican National Committee.

-->The Institute for Policy Studies did this great report on the billionaires who were supporting the Trump's fascist movement. Read it on ClassWars.org, because the major media shies away from exposing Trump's ultra rich enablers.

Common Dreams:

"New Analysis Shows US Police 3 Times More Likely to Use Violence Against Leftist Protesters Than Far-Right. The report's findings came as a surprise to virtually no one. 

Black Lives Matter, Indigenous, anti-war, and other progressive activists reacted with a complete lack of surprise to data reported by The Guardian on Thursday that shows U.S. police are three times more likely to use violence against left-wing and social justice protesters than against those on the political right. 

The report, based on statistics from from the U.S. Crisis Monitor—a database created this spring by researchers at Princeton and the nonprofit Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project (ACLED)—found that the overwhelming majority of the thousands of total protests across the nation over the past year have been peaceful."

-->Why wouldn't the nation's premier newspaper carry this story? The NYT has always soft peddled the fascism of our nation's police forces. Why change now?

Haaretz in Israel:

"For just six months of its 73 years was Israel a democracy. Six months, and not one day more. This shocking fact, which most Israelis and the wider world repress and truth-seekers have no way of denying, must resound in every civics lesson and every debate in Israel.

All the nonsense about “Bibi is destroying democracy” ignores this eternal fact: Only for six months did the state treat all the people under its rule in a democratic way, at least for the sake of appearances. Throughout all its decades of existence, Israel has treated part of its subjects tyrannically. That’s why it has no connection at all with democracy. ...

It’s impossible to speak any longer about 'apartheid in the territories.' It’s impossible to separate the territories and Israel, and it’s impossible to consider the occupation temporary. The conclusion: Israel is an apartheid state. Just as in South Africa it was ludicrous to talk about democracy, even though elections were held, it’s ridiculous to view Israel as a democracy."

-->Gideon Levy, one of Haaretz's most prominent correspondents, describes Israel as an apartheid state. It is a first for Levy, who has criticized the occupation but never admitted that Israel's entire existence has been built on Jewish supremacy. While newspapers around the world carried this story, the NYT did not. Our newspaper of record is often the apologist for this same apartheid state. In addition, B'Selem, Israel's most recognized peace group, has called all of Israel an apartheid state, a story also not covered in the US media.
