THE BIG NEWS
American Gestapo Descends on North Carolina
Trump’s masked thugs began disappearing residents of Charlotte, NC, this weekend, ripping people from their cars and marching parents away from their children in handcuffs, the Charlotte Observer, NBC News and the NYT reported. In one instance, the anonymous federal agents showed up at a church where congregants were gardening outside and chased them into the woods while their loved ones inside the building sobbed in fear. “Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody,” said the pastor, who wisely asked that neither he nor his church be named. Among the disappeared is a 15-year-old kid, Miguel Vazquez.
Charlotte is the latest target in Trump’s immigrant terror campaign, following its temporary departure from Chicago, where a judge ordered the release of hundreds of detainees and pointed out that thugs failed to produce warrants for 85 percent of the people they arrested. In North Carolina, county officials noted that abuse of power, saying the federal agents are “causing unnecessary fear and uncertainty in our community as recent operations in other cities have resulted in people without criminal records being detained and violent protests being the result of unwarranted actions.” Local officials have told residents that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department does not participate in federal immigration enforcement; according to NBC, the Department of Homeland Security is crying about how 1,400 detainers “have not been honored” due to the state’s “sanctuary policies,” so had to be released.
Trump’s confederates are yet again showing that they are sadistic, lawless and should be prosecuted into oblivion. They also have a knowledge base no deeper than a teaspoon. They’re calling the North Carolina terror campaign “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” which is the name of a children’s book by the staunchly anti-fascist journalist EB White about a spider who saves a pig from slaughter. White once wrote the following: “The presence of Fascism anywhere constitutes a threat to peace, and you do not need to debate it.” He would have hated Trump.
MORE STORIES TO WATCH
Regime Continues Forced Starvation
Trump is dropping levies on beef, coffee and tropical fruits, the AP reported, but he is still forcing Americans to go hungry via his policies. First, the cost of living remains unaffordable, even though Trump claims there is no crisis, so people can’t afford food. And his Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is also kicking millions of people off food stamps, including refugees, Politico reported. Rollins said last week that food stamp users must reapply for the benefit so that the regime can make sure “that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it,” though she did not say when or how people would reapply. All of this amounts to more people starving in America, the alleged land of the free, just in time for cold weather and the winter holidays.
House Plans Vote on Epstein Files Tomorrow
House Republicans will hold a vote tomorrow on legislation to force the federal government to cough up its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Politico reported. According to the outlet, the vote comes after Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) went around Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to “force a floor vote on their bipartisan bill to compel the Justice Department to release all of its records” related to the dead pedo. Already there is a wealth of new information about Epstein and his ghastly friendships with disgusting elites, thanks to the release last week of thousands of emails and chat logs. News outlets have set up databases so you can search them yourself, such as the one Zeteo made. If you look at the right column of that database, you will see that the emails contain more than 4,000 mentions of Trump. Stories about these missives have also highlighted how certain reporters colluded with Epstein to burnish his image and how former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers discussed with Epstein how to get in a student’s pants. You can search for Summers’ wife, Harvard literature professor and Poetry in America host Elisa New, who talked to Epstein about how Lolita is a book about “a man whose life is stamped forever by his impression of a young girl,” an analysis that reflects that she has never read it. According to Politico, several House Republicans are likely to support the bill. And late last night, the NYT and WSJ reported that Trump is urging more to do the same. According to the NYT: “Mr. Trump said on social media that House Republicans should vote to release files related to the sex offender ‘because we have nothing to hide.’ It was a striking shift in his stance as he faced the possibility that dozens of GOP lawmakers could support the measure in a floor vote expected this week.”

PARTING WORDS
“We are a very modern kind of slave. The slave driver is the app that sends us our orders.”
-- Mohammed, a Syrian refugee, on the dehumanization of working for UK food delivery app Deliveroo. The Guardian interviewed multiple delivery app workers, all of whom face constant abuse on the job from customers, people on the street who target them for fun, and the companies themselves. “Sometimes men open the door to female riders naked or in their underwear,” said one worker, Marina. “One man I delivered food to tried to pull me inside his house. Another slapped me across the face in the street. Doing this job makes you feel that you are not a human being, just a delivery machine.”
