“This veneer of civility has fallen off. The mask was taken off. And now it’s a matter of national pride in Israel to brag about annihilating Palestinians.” says Muhammad Shehada discussing the ongoing process of the Nakba, including its latest intensification after October 7, 2023.

ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com.politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge.

People still throw around this honestly pretty obviously false myth that Palestinians fled voluntarily, or worse, in the hopes of that the Arab armies would kill all the Jews. But I want to point something else out about this. And that's that it also doesn't matter, legally.

Since Nakba Day is tomorrow (US time), I thought it would be a good time to remind people on here that "the Arab states told Palestinians to flee on army radio" is a definitively disproven myth and has been disproven since at least 1959. Even Israeli historians admit it is untrue today.

To the extent that it can be said to be one thing, the US empire is built on oil. No country benefits from further dependence on the US for that. Fortunately, most countries are trying to reduce reliance on oil in the first place.

gwen does fantastic work as usual on some of the 401,000 trans people who’ve had to flee hostile territory in their own country in the past 18 months.

American auto executives admit that “the arrival of affordable, high-tech Chinese cars could upend” the industry. So they’re trying to ensure not only that Chinese cars can NOT be sold in the U.S., but that Americans will never even be exposed to one.

The LinkedIn page of the DOJ lawyer filing the dishonest briefs to us courts to get trans kids private medical records is here. These people have careers. They shouldn't be able to escape what they're doing.

🚨 The NYT appears to have taken a great feature story written by my colleague at Bolts about a west Tennessee county & the VRA, & essentially rewritten it. (Same frame, similar hed, overlapping sources.) Without a single mention, credit, let alone the a hyperlink buried somewhere.

"According to the lawsuit, she informed a guard that her water had broken and believed she would be taken to a hospital for treatment. Instead, the complaint states that another guard who checked on her later that morning accused her of wetting herself and instructed her to return to her cell.

78 years of Israels lies 78 years of Israel's killing men, women and children. 78 years of Israel's stealing land, 78 years of Israel destroying Palestinian homes. 78 years of support for all of this from Germany the UK and the USA. Free Palestine from these monsters.

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

Wes Streeting should be held accountable for the deaths of children he caused by removing their medical treatment on ideological grounds, despite warnings from experts. His resignation is not enough, he should be prosecuted for the deaths he's responsible for.

Four Palestine Action activists who were involved in a raid on an English arms factory in 2024 could face a terror charge, despite the jury not being informed, it has emerged

Major breaking news tonight. NYU Langone has received a federal criminal subpoena over its provision of trans youth care. The subpoena originates from a grand jury empaneled in the Northern District of Texas. It's a massive escalation in attacks on trans poviders. Read our breaking story:

If you live in Seattle. Please protest this. I know people won't see this post but please show you care about our rights and our dignity as human beings. I'm tired of living in fear.

This is happening literally concurrently with the federal government trying to classify trans people as terrorists and us the full power of the state to crush us.

This is what parliament would look like if the only people who could vote were most of the people who bear children, do most of the unpaid work and are most likely to experience male violence. And it is the party most supportive of trans people’s human rights.

Interesting that the overall score in 2026 for the UK (all LGBT rights) is now the lowest in Western Europe at 43.9%, yet only 2 years ago in 2024 it was rated 51.88%. Weird what 2 years under a supposed Labour Government does for equality! I bet none of their MPs will engage if we ask why!!!

A 9-0 gerrymander designed to completely lock Black Tennesseans out of political power. A disgusting, naked reentrenchment of white supremacy. Shame beyond words.

The Speaker of the House in Alabama calls on the courts to “overturn the 14th Amendment.” This is the same legislative body, a court found engaged in intentional racial discrimination in drawing voting maps in the Milligan case. x.com/austinpratt_...

Its really hard to believe anyone would pick Nigel Farage or Keir Starmer over this guy.

[democrat voice] we respect the court's decision saying the only thing we're allowed to eat is mud pies since we are members of the "gay" party. we look forward to our colleagues across the aisle serving us our daily mud pies in the cafeteria. we will continue to fight for a strong republican party

Labour is really hoping that they can put all the party's crimes on this one useful man. But they've been fully on board with all of it.

7 dollar gas. Well, I guess I'll buy an electric car. Oh those are 60 thousand dollars? Well at least electricity is cheap. Oh the government won't build solar panels because it's "Too transgender"? Well at least wages are going up. Oh the idea of jobs is fake now? Well at least everyone is happ

If algorithms are making trading decisions, and the ultimate goal of capitalism is maximizing shareholders value, you already work for an AI.

I think when a lot of people say "Magnito was right", they're not so much endorsing the creation of Genosha so much as rejecting the naive idea of coexisting with Nazis. The fact that people can see that Magnito has a point often and that Charles is often wrong is kinda the point.

Mehdi Hasan gets Karim Khan (chief prosecutor of the ICC) on the record that David Cameron had threatened to defund the court and withdraw the UK from the ICC. How is Cameron not in jail? Mehdi himself was fired from @msnowreports.bsky.social for criticizing Israel too hard.

Epstein-connected king meets Epstein-connected president while PM answers claims he lied to protect his Epstein-connected pick for ambassador.

So SCOTUS has previously ruled that courts shouldn't upend voting rules just before an election to avoid creating chaos in 2006 in Purcell v. Gonzalez. Then they saw a chance to grab power for their preferred political power. And now elections are being cancelled.

Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

The practical impact of what the Supreme Court did today.

In the four hours between when I wrote this and now, the Florida House passed new maps. Your continuing reminder that a party in power can do anything they want in a matter of days if not hours and the only reason they don't is because they don't want to. There is no Just One Guy holding them up.

Your senator doesnt work for you. They work for businesses trying to keep the price you pay high.

I don't ever want to hear some anti trans person say they're being silenced and canceled ever again while this is going on. www.advocate.com/news/texas-t...
