"Under this settlement, the Sackler family will pay up to $6.5 billion over 15 years, and Purdue Pharma will contribute an additional $900 million upon court approval of its bankruptcy. Up to $250 million of the settlement will be directed towards opioid treatment, prevention, and recovery programs in New York.

As part of the settlement, the Sackler family is permanently banned from ever manufacturing, selling, or marketing opioids in the US and will no longer control Purdue."

NYS AG Letitia James: "This company that put profits over people for decades is now shut down forever."

Opioids was just another weapon used by the oligarchs to enrich themselves while killing poor Americans.

No wonder the oligarchs and Republicans don't want Americans to have universal healthcare.

Countries with universal healthcare would fight tooth-and-nail to avoid such a plague bankrupting their medical systems.

In the 19th century, the oligarchs of the British Empire enriched themselves while pushing opium on the people of China.

See 'ya in Tel Aviv!

Last century my friends in the IDF took me to neat little places to eat in Tel Aviv.

While the cafes and bars were Jewish-owned, some were owned by Russians, the restos were Arab run or owned.

My friends confided to me that the Palestinians made tastier felafels and hummus than the Israeli Jews.

I'm never going back to that fascist hell-hole and that's sad because there are plenty of decent Israelis against genocide.

Our POTUS means to cull the herd one way or another.

Rachel's senseless murder was over two decades ago.

Tempus fugit.

And the bulldozer was a Caterpillar D-9.

A Russian driving a US-made bulldozer to kill an American Samaritan protecting a Muslim's home from Israeli ethnic cleansing.

Unbelievable.
