The Israeli official and convicted terrorist who just yesterday declared his support for a military unit that assaulted a CNN crew & killed a 78-year-old Palestinian-American is now today drinking champagne to celebrate a new law to execute Palestinians.

Absolutely wild that NYT would define "J-pilled" as "(far-right slang for skepticism of Israeli influence)" and not ask themselves what the "J" stands for when coming up with said definition to print in the paper.

"Israel" doesn't start with a J.

On the flip side to this story, the Michigan Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on Sen. Slotkin to apologize for appearing on Bill Maher’s program. The group notes Maher’s long history of making Islamophobic statements.

Haley needs to re-ask the goddamn question.

Thousands rallied across Michigan on Saturday against actions by President Donald Trump. WDET’s Russ McNamara talks with protesters in Ferndale and Romulus. wdet.org/2026/03/30/m... @mcnamarawdet.bsky.social

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

I’ve been seeing the litmus / purity test more lately so there must be some kind of workshopping going on. Michigan Senate hopeful Mallory McMorrow told me this in January.

I saw this headline earlier today and assumed it was a more comprehensive report on the strike a month ago

jesus christ man you're supposed to at least pretend the subject of your profile didn't write the lede himself

People in this country go about our daily lives as our government commits atrocity after atrocity. I don’t have words for it.

Looks like it's another day where I'll have to fact check The Daily after I play it for our listeners.

In which Ilan Wurman endorses using white supremacists' writing to interpret the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. He says that complaints about his [and the government's] lack of source criticism deploy a "classic logical fallacy." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon have been wounded in an "incident" near the Lebanese-Israeli border, a spokesperson for the force said today, without specifying the nature of the incident

I'm a bit confused by all of this. We're a year and a half out from Piker being invited to the Democratic National Convention as part of a push to draw in younger people. Of course he was later asked to leave over his criticism of Harris and the DNC for ignoring the Uncommitted movement. So 🤷

another example

Another standoff at Los Angeles and Temple. Getting real fucking tired of filming the cops beating up my neighbors

There's nothing more evergreen or American.

More gas. A young woman with a camera got shot in the eye and carried away Too chaotic to post

Major gas at the MDC in DTLA followed by “you are no longer protected by any right” Folks split, people screaming for medics. I am blind atm

Israel now openly murdering Lebanon’s journalists, just as they did in Gaza

Jon Passant of @status.news says a line was crossed by these words. I'm inclined to agree. www.status.news/p/brendan-ca... [no paywall]

Man inspired by the Jewish Defense League terrorist org arrested in plot to firebomb Palestinian activist's home.

NEW: Israeli strikes killed seven paramedics this morning, as well as the three journalists targeted in this car. According to other media in the group, the car was clearly marked with “PRESS” on the sides & roof. A violation of Article 79 of the Geneva Conventions. Israel’s Gaza Playbook.

Two of the journalists assassinated in South Lebanon this morning by Israel were Lebanese correspondents Ali Shoeib and Fatima Ftouni. They become the 252nd and 253rd journalists killed by Israel in the last two years. Unprecedented. (📸 Cradle Media)

MIGOP hasn’t toned down the weirdness at the nominating convention in Novi.

Please stop spreading this rage bait. The quote everyone's angry about, about "crappy identity politics," is not from Weir.

The difference between these two is racism

“”… one of the risks for Medicare Advantage beneficiaries, especially… where options tend to be meager: plans are under no obligation to offer coverage year-to-year. When profit margins are threatened, insurance companies can suddenly withdraw coverage…” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Classic Duke FT disparity game.

LOL

The suspect planned to assassinate this pro-Palestinian advocate by firebombing her home. He is a member of a branch of the “Jewish Defense League,” a Zionist Jewish supremacist group designated in both the US and Israel as a terrorist organization. The JDL was founded by the late Meir Kahane.

Completely new dynamic developing in real time where journalists at traditionally extremely deferential news outlets like CNN are learning how to say basic facts about Israel without equivocation or obfuscation

The powers that be in this illustrious city seem to be quite afraid of the power of the people ahead of tomorrow’s march

-Israel controls 54% of Gaza Strip, almost all Palestinians expelled from the area, villages and towns destroyed -Hamas fully in control over the remaining 45% -The Peace Board's technocratic Gaza Committee has not entered -no international journalists -limited aid www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

This is a LOT of fun.

Sports keep changing their minds about how to test gender, fiddling the rules to suit cultural biases while trying to pretend it’s simple, obvious & scientific

The US appears to have deployed the Gator Scatterable Mine system over Kafari, a village near Shiraz, in southern Iran overnight. At least two people were killed according to local reports. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

I have push alerts disabled and a login requirement on my account and this stalker freak is still sitting there refreshing my page constantly waiting for new posts to repost within seconds onto X to drive harassment towards me. This is literally every single day, multiple times a day.

They're calling it the most diverse CPAC ever. Maybe in history. Many people are saying this.

anti-trans virtue signaling that is not going to last, because a LOT of cis athletes are about to find out they are intersex

There was a lot of (warranted) skepticism about the latest, greatest plan to rehab the old Packard Plant. Detroit's planning director said 'yes' under Mike Duggan, but 'no' under Mary Sheffield.

The last time Israel, in either a civilian or military criminal court, indicted a Jew for the murder of a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank was 2019.

movie about all the world's nations working together to stave off an environmental apocalypse succeeds by completely avoiding politics
