Surely all the conservatives that complained about the Virginia redistricting on Tuesday will be calling this out any minute now.

I'm gonna call Midwestern American food my cuisine for this question, cause of everything I could claim, it produces the easiest answer: Ranch Dressing. Horrid stuff. Makes everything worse.

The thing about the photo of the IDF soldier beheading a statue of Jesus in south Lebanon is that the Israeli military has an effectively near 0% conviction rate for its soldiers and so this will just keep happening over and over and over and over. This is simply what unlimited impunity breeds.

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun. And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene. And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics. And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

Though the vote is over, it’s important to note that Rachel would have turned 47, on April 10. This was her fate, a young idealistic woman who tried to do all she knew how to protect innocents. You’re never forgotten, Rachel. We must do better.

In his first term, Trump pardoned Blackwater contractors who murdered 14 people and it received less condemnation in the US media for Biden pardoning his son for doing crack.

DeeTROIT basketball!

Israel: we need Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah; that's why we keep killing Lebanese army soldiers.

Them threatening an Avignon Papacy is so wild. It's 2026. You can ignore the Pope.

On the question of "as a Jewish state", which I am sure most Zionists can define

And they say Americans don't protest.

Reminiscing about my time living in DC. If you've lived in DC or spent time there, especially in the Cap Hill area, let's look at some of the places you could be killed for being in range of the blast radius of a Mk 84 2000lb bomb dropped by the USAF or Israeli Air Force on a legitimate target

Drinking the nastiest hard cider right now, hope Hashem appreciates it.

Jewish New Yorkers have taken over the lobby of Palantir on the 6th night of Passover to protest corporate complicity in ICE’s deportation machine. NYC Jews demand #SanctuaryNotSurveillance!

I've seen a few times now that GCC countries aren't letting their airspace, but it kinda seems like the bases are in use. Idk if the GCC can really kick the US out of the bases, but presumably that's what Iran wants.

I actually care about both NCAA basketball championship games this year, and it's the week I can't have pizza or beer.

We have now killed at least 1,616 civilians, including at least 244 children, in this illegal war. www.en-hrana.org/day-36-of-u-...

Real Talk, there's one college team I've got no connection to but consistently cheer for, and Dawn is a big part of that.

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir. The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell. Open letter linked + explainer 🧵1/ www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/gilea...

#NoKingsBoston had a roped off area, in memoriam. Tens of thousands of people walking the Boston Common, and yet everyone was respecting this space. #NoKings

To be fair, a lot of high culture kinda sucks.

Al Jazeera reported in their live blog that Iraq gave the PMF permission to respond to attacks. Not seeing this covered elsewhere, but seems like a pretty big deal?

At risk of starting shit, if the normie lib position is that ICE should be abolished and agents prosecuted, and regular people should actively disrupt them, that is a big win for the left. Same with supporting Mamdani and pro-Palestine positions.

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

Seems like I need to post a "Yes many elements of Hashd are indeed problematic but we absolutely do not want America and Israel to bomb Baghdad" thread on this platform very soon.

I'm not saying that the refueling plane definitely crashed because there wasn't enough DEI in the armed forces, but there is precedent.

Been telling folks how much of an anomaly the recent lack of intra-Christian sectarian violence is.

This, incidentally, is why the American right will never get away from antisemitism. They would have to admit oppressed peoples 1. did not like being oppressed and 2. Did something about it. That ultimately undermines the racial hierarchy inherent to the right (at least, in the US).

Blackwater operatives murdered innocent Iraqi civilians, including an acquaintance of mine and his mother in Baghdad 19 years ago.

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.

The thing is, Trump attacked under the cover of negotiations. The rational assumption by anyone in Iran is that any future proposed negotiations are a ploy.

every one of those "get out of your echo chamber" artists is someone who is very upset that you are not in their echo chamber fawning over them

Yeah, I'm thinking there's some validity to those "air defenses running low" reports.

Look, I'm just gonna throw this out there: anyone who thinks Khamenei's death is likely, in and of itself, to change much in Iran, really lacks even a cursory understanding of the countries governance structure.

I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage. We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

Tonight we pray for every Iranian, Israeli, Palestinian, American, and all others once again caught in the violent whims of corrupt leaders.

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

"Stop making everything so political! Your favorite athletes would probably party with the JD Vance and Kash Patel, too, if they had he chance!" My brother in Christ, I can absolutely ASSURE you that they would not.

She has contacted her congresswoman, Rep. Young Kim, a Republican from California, but to no avail. Most recently, Kim’s office responded to her plea about her pending removal by saying that they were “not able to advise or interfere.”

This is what kills me about the AI zealots: okay, you got to 95% accuracy. Those are impressive numbers for a college exam. Those are "things go boom" numbers in chemical manufacturing.

Saw a wild strawman TTRPG take on here today and, you know, it's almost refreshing to see that 2013 kinda bad take.

Last night we used a Roko TV to watch a DVD. When navigating to the HDMI input it asked me to agree to automatic content recognition. "Agree" was highlighted by default. Selecting "disagree" required going in to settings.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ
