Last week, Trump-appointed judges permanently barred the NAACP and other private litigants from suing government voting rights violators. Only the government itself may to sue to stop itself from committing gross racial vote suppression — no kidding!!!

Osage Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear—one of Oklahoma’s top trial lawyers—is officially designated “incompetent” by the US govt’s Bureau of Indian Affairs. Here, he shows me the official book that lists him as “incompetent” — along with other Osage who graduated from Stanford and Oxford.

This is truly the end of the Voting Rights Act: A federal court has ruled that citizens may not sue governments that commit crimes against voting by Americans of color — and that only the government, that is, those who commit the voting crimes, may sue.

Killers of the Flower Moon is a work of genius. But more important, it's a work of real history that it's about time we all learn about.

Jim Gray led the uprising of the Osage Nation against Koch Oil’s plunder and theft, winning election as principal chief to fight both Koch and Koch’s enabler, the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

America’s Osage Natives want you to know their story doesn’t end with Killers of the Flower Moon. Swindled by Koch Oil and a US “force of occupation", the Osage are still fighting for what is theirs.

This week, Scorsese releases Killers of the Flower Moon, about the mass murder of the Osage and the theft of their oil wealth. But the story doesn’t end when the credits roll ►► https://www.gregpalast.com...

America’s Osage Natives want you to know their story doesn’t end with Killers of the Flower Moon. Hundreds of Native Americans were murdered for their oil during the Reign of Terror in the 1920s. Swindled by Koch Oil and a US “force of occupation", they’re still fighting for what is theirs.

Congratulations to Matt Gaetz and the Republican Pedophile Caucus for successfully ousting the Speaker of the House. One must admire how much Rep. Gaetz accomplished with nothing more than dope, porn, corruption, and a weird hairdo.

We can stop the tsunami of refugees at the border by ending in the cruel embargo of Venezuela while bringing down the insanely high price of gasoline in the US. 🧵

The “guardianship” horror depicted in Killers of the Flower Moon was ended by Congress—but replaced by putting the Osage under “Trusteeship”. It was not long ago that Osage under Trusteeship literally couldn’t buy a sack of potatoes without approval of a BIA agent, the “Ma-he-kah,” the “Long Knife.”

The #Koch dark money machine was launched to quash an indictment over crimes against the Osage that promised to put Charles behind bars. I’ve worked on this story for 27 years: the genesis of the #KochBros billions—and the creation of their political Death Star.

In the 1920s, after discovery of the massive oil field on the Osage Reservation, the US govt took away the Osage’s right to their wealth, instead appointing a white Guardian for each Osage to “protect” their money. https://www.gregpalast.com...

The Osage of Oklahoma were the richest people on the planet. Until they killed them. For their oil.

This is an investigation I’ve worked on quietly for 27 years. And now I’m finally able to give you a 100-second preview… #LongKnife

A Trump codefendant says his case should be tried in federal court because he was a federal “elector” to the Electoral College. The guy has a sense of humor: he’s being charged with falsely impersonating an “elector.” It's like stealing a cop’s uniform and saying, “You can’t arrest me, I’m a cop!”

As I’ve said before, Trump isn’t a billionaire, he just played one on TV.
