Now that Israel has admitted the Gaza death toll is accurate, don’t let apologists move the goalposts | Ben Reiff

There's objectivity, which is an essential trait in journalists, and then there is bending painfully backwards to avoid presenting the context which is blindingly obvious to anyone who has bothered to explore the subject for just a few minutes...

The UN: Our emblem will show all countries of the world. To be as fair as possible we will use a projection that makes areas further from the center be shown larger instead. The Board of Peace: Our mandate is to create peace in Gaza, so our symbol is gonna be a globe view centered on New Orleans.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A big "thank you" to whoever put Miss Piggy in the trailer for "Melania" youtu.be/XTAQkifHAxY?...

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, on January 24. DHS claims he died after an armed struggle, but videos of the incident appears to contradict that claim. Read our analysis here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Challenge: Speak for two minutes without contradicting yourself. trump: Nobody can contradict themselves as much as I can!

Shocking, who could have foreseen that they would be sloppy/illegal with how they handled this data?

If this was a megagame, nobody would accept a council where the rules were this lopsided, and many megagames intentionally set the council rules to be lopsided...

Just hours after Renee Good was shot, one member of Customs and Border Patrol’s elite tactical team on an adjacent street fired a less-lethal weapon five times in less than five minutes, with four shots aimed at the faces of protestors. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

Only Pew Research Center to go!

The most benign interpretation of what he says is that they are willing to let people get away with crimes if they will just do the regime's bidding. But the most plausible interpretation is that they are using the legal system for coercion through false accusations.

I particularly enjoy this background image. It's from the war the Americans fought against the guy who coined that phrase.

This is pure racketeering, trump is doing exactly the thing that he accuses Cuba of having done.

Classic trump, threatening those he pretends to help.

New footage from the ICE agent's phone who shot at Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis has emerged, posted by AlphaNews on X. We've placed that footage in a synced timeline with the other currently available footage.

Musk vs Vance? Not gonna lie, I'd pay to see that.

Most technical bugs in the early phases of technology don't result in the industrial scale generation of nonconsensual and child pornography, if they did you wouldn't usually expect it to take two weeks to address, and if it did you wouldn't expect them to address it by monetizing it.

We can clearly see from the New York Times analysis that both Trump and Vance are lying. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

That young girl is one of the least benightedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting.

Calling it now, Maduro will be convicted for something, then there will be a very large anonymous purchase of trumpcoin, and trump will pardon Maduro.

The former (figurehead) president of russia saying "Finland's got to pay for its vile Russiophobia." is a very neat summation of why the russian regime must be stopped.

I'm still not sure if trump actually thinks he can get a Nobel Peace Prize, or if this is just another smokescreen for all his rape and pillaging, both literal and figurative.

This week could be pivotal for diplomacy. It is clear that Russia does not want peace, and therefore we need to make Ukraine as strong as possible. My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council on Defence ↓

I'd rather not have you ask the question. But I'm proud to answer the question. Or at least I'm proud that I allowed you to ask the question. And I'm proud that my family is making a lot of money from my decisions as president.

I'm so glad we gave these beauties to Ukraine, and to hear that they are being put to such good use.

The power in you is greater than any power that’s coming against you. If you were on your own, it would be a problem, but you’re not alone. Your dick is with you.

- Mom, I want OGRE! - We have OGRE at home.

Meeting Trump in Budapest is perfect. That's where we promised never to invade Ukraine in the first place.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. "It almost always works."

Woke russian oil companies building solar cells, just because Greta says so. Don't they know the sun doesn't shine at night?!

"Antifa" is their label for anyone who's protesting anything they do, not an actual organization. And alleged TDA membership is their excuse for doing murder by airstrike on boats in international waters. Saying that the two are comparable is extremely ominous, straight out of the fascist playbook.

I love that one of trump's Nobel Peace Prize nominations is literally for bombing Iran. Everyone else's is like "for decades of persistent work to improve the situation of the extremely poor people of somewhere you've never heard of, through charity and mild manners"

At least 7000 Russian officers have been eliminated in the Russian invasion of Ukraine since 24 February 2022. Milestone update: +28 newly registered. Sources: public Russian obituaries and graves (see link in bio).
