Pakistan and the US have reached an oil deal, though the details remain undisclosed. The agreement signals Washington’s belief in significant reserves, particularly in Balochistan. The focus now must shift to the legal and structural framework.

"Freedom can be granted, but it remains a “legal fiction”. […] Rights cannot be bestowed upon those constructed as Slaves, non-Humans, or property, especially when such a status is the contingent basis of the worldview through which rights are given their coherence."

“Peace, within an antiblack world, is a fallacy (much like freedom). The metaphysical infrastructure that supports the fiction of the white human is sustained by antiblack violence.”

"Palestinians despise the courts. We hate the sight of a judge, knowing all too well that they are no different from the interrogator. We loathe the law and all it stands for in our context—a tool for oppression cloaked in legality. Even the lawyers, perhaps universally disliked, evoke our mistrust. But for us, the courts represent more than frustration; they are the place where our oppressive conditions are translated into legal language, where the weight of colonial domination is formalized with a veneer of legitimacy."

The ICC warrants: Palestinian skepticism and the glimpse of justice

Palestinians hold deep skepticism of courts based on generations of Israeli abuse. But the ICC warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant are a moment to expose the contradictions of the American Empire and put a crack in the veneer of impunity.

One reason I’m reading little of MSM is there is so little attention to the legal pushback against tariff manipulation, despite good evidence. Seems like it’s all headlines, on course to do what? Wheeler doesn’t atttribute motives, just notices.

After His Trump Blowup, Musk May Be Out. But DOGE Is Just Getting Started.
