My reporting finds that sexual violence against Palestinians by Israeli authorities is widespread. I'm grateful to these assault victims for sharing with me the brutality they endured. Whether we're pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian, we should unite in being anti-rape. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

🔵 Rula Jebreal on Israel’s so-called “liberal” opposition: “This war is unpopular here in America, but it’s very popular in Israel. They want this war. They want the next war against Turkey. Their leader said there’s no coalition government and no opposition. We are united against the Iranian...

“We have clear evidence that this was a criminal operation. They are the secret police," Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal said about ICE's detainment of Elmina Aghayeva. interc.pt/4aSDQJw

"These watered-down ICE policy reforms do not serve as a break from the Democrats’ years-long rightward shift on immigration, but a repackaging of immigration enforcement to maintain the status quo." truthout.org/articles/ref...

Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

fyi

For context, the Dems voting the most for Trump nominees are: 1) Jeanne Shaheen (NH): 53 2) Maggie Hassan (NH): 46 3) John Fetterman (PA): 44 4) Tim Kaine (VA): 38 5) Mark Kelly (AZ): 34 6t) Jacky Rosen (NV): 32 6t) Mark Warner (VA): 32 8) Ruben Gallego (AZ): 31) 9) Amy Klobuchar (MN): 30

Wow, I can't believe the same country that spent 2+ years helping Israel do its best to kill every journalist in Palestine would start attacking and arresting journalists at home. Who among us could have foreseen this.

NEW: The Israeli military today accepted the Gaza Health Ministry's estimate of 70,000+ killed. But in 2024, 62 Dems joined 207 Republicans to ban the State Dept. from citing the Ministry's stats. Now, even Israel accepts them — perhaps because they realize what is feared: the toll is even higher.

I fucking hate the NYT dawg

Here is the newly-unsealed State Department memo confirming -- finally -- that the detention of Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk was based on an op-ed. No antisemitic activity. No support of terrorism. An op-ed in a student newspaper. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

i personally think “don’t fund the gestapo” is a relatively small ask in the face of an illegal violent occupation of a US city that has killed at least one citizen and terrorized countless more. any elected who cannot clear even that modest bar is dead to me

My "What You Need To Know About Tear Gas" thread: First, tear gas is a particulate, not an actual vapor or gas. In some cases, this means you can get some of the tear gas off your clothes by standing in a stiff breeze or strong fan.

The decision to end their hunger strikes came as it was revealed that Elbit Systems UK was denied a vital £2bn army training contract with the Ministry of Defence, a key demand.

“ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do” played over video of ICE engaging in acts of violence should be the wall to wall DNC media strategy right now

Jonathan Ross worked for Border Patrol before ICE

Rodney Stanger strikes again

Biden gave an unprecedented increase in funding to ICE and CBP. We have to abolish these agencies.

Republicans voted over 70 times (!) to repeal Obamacare even though they knew they didn’t have the numbers, but it pleased the base, kept them energized, and showed that the party is still fighting despite being in the minority.

Reminder that almost a quarter century ago, Schumer voted for the Hague Invasion Act, declaring that the US would militarily invade the Hague were it ever to be prosecuted by ICC for war crimes. Biden did too, it was an overwhelmingly bipartisan agreement to be unaccountable to international law.

No problemo

harris would've continued biden's venezuela policy, yes

The U.S. intervened to oust governments in Latin America a total of at least 41 times — about once every 28 months from 1898 to 1994 — including 17 cases of direct intervention by the U.S. armed forces, intelligence agencies, or locals employed by U.S. government agencies.

uh holy SHIT?

If the entire “running for mayor” thing was a long con to get himself legal access to abandoned parts of the subway system, then congratulations to him on pulling it off. He could disappear into the tunnels for years and still be better than his predecessor.

NEW: DHS secretly obtained Chicago police data on 900 residents accused of gang ties. It was quietly deleted after intelligence officers violated rules against domestic spying. The handoff came well after city inspectors formally announced CPD's gang data was deeply flawed and infected w/ bias.

Wait you mean coming together to kill Palestinians ISN'T the basis for stable political coalition with a bunch of people whose idol is Adolf Hitler?????? Who could possibly have guessed??????????????? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

And a guy who got a Nazi tattoo when he was young and drunk who can't figure out how to make that fact serve an antifascist project is just too stupid to be of any use at all.

I guess where I’m landing is less “oh no he’s a Nazi” and more “I just went through this shit with Fetterman and Sinema and a six year term is too long for me to take on faith that your Nazi tattoo was the accident but what you’re saying now is the truth.”

i am so owned by the overton window shifting over to some of my personally held positions please, please keep owning me, please I don't know if I'll be able to take it

Leqaa Kordia—not a Columbia student but “a simple Palestinian girl,” as she describes herself—is the last remaining campus protester still in detention from the Trump Administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian demonstrators in the U.S. Read her story: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mGwzBs

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Zohran Mamdani: “If Netanyahu comes to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York next year while I am mayor, I will move to honor the ICC arrest warrant issued in The Hague against him — just as I would against Putin."

imagine the nightmare for Palestinians, staffer bro

Turns out Dr. Alex Byrne, a philosophy professor at MIT who was named in my legal action against MIT at the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, was a coauthor of the Trump administration's report attacking trans health care. 🤬 www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/a-philosop...

as a relatively devout atheist, this is bullshit. religion is not the problem, conservatism is the problem. cults are the problem. lack of critical thinking is the problem. there are plenty of people like this man in the world fighting the good fight.
