Every complaint I had against Chomsky concerned the same problem: the way he excused or dismissed atrocities committed by his team: ie regimes and forces opposed to Western hegemonic power. As his friend, Epstein was given the same pass. In other words, it's not an anomaly. It's the same story.

A UK court has found six Palestine Action activists not guilty of aggravated burglary, after a months-long trial in connection with a break-in to an Israeli-owned arms factory.

Top 8 stories on Guardian are on the Epstein files, and Trump is not mentioned on the front page once (though is in pic). This is what happens when you control which documents are disclosed and which are not.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

Very important article by Josephine Lulamae, with warnings for those who may be tempted by narratives of rural revivalism and "Uncivilisation". “Any group that follows a purity mentality, seeking deep, unadulterated roots in nature, risks nativist thinking.” www.codastory.com/polarization...

1. Build huge subscriber base by telling them their $ supports democracy. 2. Don’t establish other revenue sources. 3. Rug-pull subscribers by pushing opinion side to the right. 4. Subscribers leave, revenue falls. 5. Enact crippling newsroom cuts.

Hot Take 2: if this is Mandelson's position, there is no reason for him not to issue a statement to this effect. If he has not issued a statement to this effect, the BBC's "understanding" of his actual position may be inaccurate. Stop letting people play this game.

continue to think that if instead of "raw milk" we called it "doodoo milk" people would understand the risk proposition

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

Seems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else. newrepublic.com/post/206088/...

Naah, I want them on trial.

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Thread! Oberlin content.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

Antifa is everywhere and nowhere. It has existed from the beginning of time and will continue to the end. It’s under every bed, in every closet. It’s domestic and international, capitalist and communist. It's a wispy blue-haired trans woman and a macho super-soldier. But antifa is always watching.

Breaking: The European Commission said on Tuesday it would investigate Mandelson, who was European trade commissioner from 2004-8 before leaving early to return to UK politics. Mandelson draws a pension from his time there and has to adhere to a code of conduct for former staff.

There are some non-MAGA SpaceX defenders so I just want to point out, with the SpaceX–xAI merger (for the purpose of "orbital data centers," no less), that the true mission of SpaceX is to produce nonconsensual porn and fascist propaganda. It is a net negative for humanity and should be destroyed.

Donald Trump said today that "Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting." My life's work is to prevent that from happening. I built a law firm to stop it. I started Democracy Docket as another tool in the fight for democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Making it make sense: Epstein wasn't a global mastermind. He did not orchestrate a vast conspiracy that led us to today. He was a very rich man with connections to other very rich men. The shared culture of these men is that they have a right to dominate and abuse others without consequence.

Why were ICE agents unmasked from 2004 through 2024 is the question that is never asked?

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

death from disease in concentration camps is so widespread and so predictable that it's pretty clearly a feature, not a bug.

We have an Epstein problem that is closing in. However, we also have a Christo-Fascism problem that might not be going away.

I mean, they are correct in that the graphic does not glorify or valorize any specific incident. It glorifies all of them. Any of them. However you do it, it glorifies them. It's a general glorification of shooting people in the head without due process of law simply because you don't like them.

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Why isn't this a major news story?

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

I appointed Dr. Alister Martin as Commissioner of DOHMH to help NYers get the affordable, quality health care they need. And I also appointed Yesenia Mata to lead DVS, Sandra Escamilla-Davies to lead DYCD, and Vilda Vera Mayuga to lead OATH.

Today, I made historic appointments who will lead key agencies and create a city where everyone can thrive. I appointed Stanley Richards as Commissioner of DOC. Decades after he served time in our city’s jails, Commissioner Richards will now be the first formerly incarcerated person to lead them.

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week. Go Seahawks.
