“The Netanyahu government is committing a genocide on the Palestinian people. This is not a matter of opinion. This is a matter of fact that has been established by the global leaders who study genocide." - Michigan's lieutenant governor, Garlin Gilchrist at the Arab Convention hosted by the ADC.

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E

5 boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla have just been bombed on International waters. #GlobalSumudFlotilla #GlobalMovementToGaza #SailToGaza

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

Many scary things in this article, including: * Random strangers joining in on attacks on trans women. * Attacks by apparent marines. * An instance of a guy attacking a trans woman, getting bailed out by the @nwcbailfund.bsky.social, and then attacking another.

Given the impending government takeover of TikTok, I'm trying out @skylight.social as an alternative, and honestly it's still kinda rough in a lot of ways, but it's impressive to see so much there, and it's also really nice to have my BlueSky profile on it.

“Think food prices are bad now?”😳 #fyp #foryoupage #farmers #tariffs #tradewar #china #trump #funny #food #news #china #soybeans

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

We should all ask the question: Where is Keir Starmer?

This is an entry level battle tank.

This is absolutely disgusting behavior from someone wearing a badge as a federal law enforcement agent. He should be charged with assault.

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

I don't know which part is worse: the fact that they see a horrible tragedy, and the only thing they think is how they can use it for their purposes, or the fact that their voters will let them do that and it literally costs them nothing. They are excited, just like they were the church shooting.

Lol AFT, AFL-CIO, and a journalism nonprofit (all DIS shareholders) are demanding the company to reveal docs related to Jimmy Kimmel's suspension. Fun one.

Giorgia Meloni, Italy's PM, is a far right fascist who supports Israel, but the general strike Italians carried out 2 days ago scared the shit out of her. Strikes are the most effective way to get politicians to do what you want them to do. Shut down profit and they stand to attention.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

SCOOP: The IOC’s panel that will determine policy on transgender participation appears to have excluded researchers whose work casts doubt on the need for bans

BREAKING A federal judge found it "appears ... that multiple employees of the Department of Justice may have violated" local rules in SDNY guaranteeing Luigi Mangione's right to a fair trial. Full order here storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jimmy Kimmel has never been exactly my jam, and a lot of people lost jobs in the post-Kirk crackdown who aren't getting them because they're a lot less visible and privileged, but I am hoping this is a bit of an inflection point in the corporate kowtowing to Trump and compliance in advance.

Klobuchar: "Pardoning the insurrectionists, what happened with the Eric Adams case when they dropped those charges, the decision not to pursue a reported bribe attempt on Border Czar Homan for $50,000 -- all these are in same milieu. But this thing? This thing is actually using the law as a weapon."

The Sumud Flotilla is under attack. Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian organiser, reports 10 drone attacks on the smaller boats, seemingly to destroy their sails. Citizens from the entire world are aboard. It is carrying food for the victims of genocide. Governments need to protect it.

She makes everything more annoying in ways you don’t necessarily expect. It’s a gift. Like how she spells tick tock wrong

Devastating new video of NJ federal Judge Esther Salas, whose son was murdered in 2020 by an assassin targeting her. She was chatting with her son, he'd just said "keep talking to me, mom, I love talking to you," when the doorbell rang and he ran to answer it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTtX...

It occurs to me that Dolan isn't even really a Christian, despite how he's dressed and the way he presents himself. He's a Kirkist. He's got a new saint, and a new religion, and it's got nothing to do with Christ. And the way he blends his new faith with capitalism, he's a Kirkist Nationalist.

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

As even deeply Zionist governments finally are pushed to recognize Palestine, it's important to note that the "two state solution" is hypocritical nonsense that is probably unworkable and definitely serving as a fig leaf still for the International community. youtu.be/SpuTCKtA0t4?...

So now the US Navy just murders random mariners with absolutely no authority and no due process. Very normal and very cool.

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

free speech is when your government takes over a communication platform to secretly decide what can be said on it, who will see what, and who spends how much time looking at different types of messages about their interests for, you know, normal reasons and stuff

the sheer fucking gall of Dem politicians who now – in September 2025, as the Trump admin is taking away trans ppl's healthcare & passports & baselessly labeling us as "terrorists" – express their "concerns" about trans ppl & sports. they are trying to eradicate us! maybe be "concerned" about that!

This is some of the grossest shit I've ever seen, and it's being done by one of the largest companies in the world.

I'm gonna guess Laura Ingram will not be fired for celebrating violence like this.

You should have tried an experiment: 1. Verify your id, like a good little boy. 2. Post "I support Palestine Action" to any social media platform.

Only seven Senate Democrats are signed onto a resolution put forward by Jeff Merkley for the United States recognize the State of Palestine. They are: Sen. Jeff Merkley Chris Van Hollen Tim Kaine Bernie Sanders Peter Welch Tina Smith Tammy Baldwin Mazie Huron

Imagine being a cardinal of what is supposed to be the Universal Church, and being impressed by a 31-year-old podcaster. This kind of statement makes not only him, but the whole institution he represents look incredibly silly.

Everything wrong with the Democratic Party in a nutshell. 95 House Democrats (including Jeffries!) just voted to honor the life & legacy of Charlie Kirk. Only 58 voted no. 38 voted present. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

Left-Wing Group Too Disorganized For FBI Agents To Infiltrate https://theonion.com/left-wing-group-too-disorganized-for-fbi-agents-to-infi-1848923025/

We all need to scream that the emperor has no clothes right now. And we need to do it loudly and cussedly and in strategic relationship with each other. Because they are TELLING US what scares them most, right now. And it is unapologetic truth-telling.

“The keyword here is BLACKWHITE. Like so many Newspeak words, [it] has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means…impudently claiming that black is white... Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands...”

American Christian Nationalist organizations fund the gender critical movement in the UK, use the UK as an incubator, and then reimport the product back to the US.

Don't worry guys, I have a genius plan to stop political violence. Step 1: Make elite consensus be that the mild peaceful disapproval be treated as equivalent to violence. Step 2: Have the government openly violate the law in a manner which proves it nonbinding. Step 3: Crash the economy.

Y'all realize, of course, that if they do this successfully, there's absolutely nothing stopping them from listing gay people, Black people, or people under 5'6" as violent extremists, right? This lets them brand entire demographics as terrorists under FBI labeling if it is not stopped.

I am biased but I don’t think there is a better website on the internet today than TheOnion.com.

People really should not be impressed with Carlson for saying one true thing about MAGA, which he was largely ejected from over real bad things he said uncovered in a lawsuit.

the hiring of Olivia Nuzzi by Vanity Fair makes the new rules of media clear: ❌ lightly criticizing Charlie Kirk ✅ FaceTime fingerblasting with your story’s subject, RFK Jr.

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.
