I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Here’s last night’s story about Benjamin Netanyahu, the extreme voices he’s allied with in his country, and how one wonderful pen can help everyone better understand the geography of the Middle East. youtu.be/0_Bwix9IjOE

This point hasn’t been given nearly enough attention. If you applied actually existing research principles to genAI, it would never be allowed anywhere near a university, research project or classroom.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

79. American citizen.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

The dictator is lying about Portland.

Portland: Don’t take the bait. Don’t be the spark he wants. Stand up in mass to show you do NOT consent to occupation. But be peaceful, be united, be creative - make their presence awkward, unwelcome, & weird. Portland you are uniquely qualified to handle this! Make the rest of us proud ✊🏼#3E

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left. And it’s not even close!

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

the president is lying about portland

Running out of time to save democracy, America

Trump is ordering US soldiers to occupy my “war-ravaged” hometown of Portland, “authorizing them to use full force” against “antifa” (ie, anyone he doesn’t like) to stop “political violence.” As I explain here, the whole thing is premised on fascist myths. www.bostonreview.net/articles/wha...

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect. So profoundly reluctantly. But, good lord have they earned it.

Now that the USA has gone full fascist, the UN headquarters needs a new host nation.

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland. My column today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

ICE Gestapo monsters.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro called for criminal proceedings against Donald Trump, whom he compared to Adolph Hitler while speaking before the U.N. General Assembly this week. trib.al/8HjOWM9

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.

PN today: "Trump and Vance are making it clear that they consider it their right, and their pleasure, to murder anyone, anywhere, for any reason or for no beyond a passing whim. That’s an ugly message to Venezuelans. It’s an ugly message to the UN and to America as well." Read this!

A new interactive map and groundbreaking database allows people in the world’s largest metropolitan areas to track their air pollution exposure, along with their region’s biggest sources of planet-warming pollution. https://cnn.it/48weQbm

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up

On the blatant double standards the media - BBC included - deploys while showcasing Nigel Farage. He is constantly given a free pass not granted to other politicians. bylines.scot/news/the-far...

Another company to boycott for caving to fascism, obeying in advance. Can't be showing a series about how nazis are bad apparently.

Brilliant, as always. Jon Stewart reminds us: history doesn’t bend to justice by magic; it’s bent by people. By us. Others are yanking it the wrong f**king way, but we’re not standing by. We’ll fight, we’ll shove, we’ll bend it back toward justice and we won’t let anyone steal it.

Recognition of Palestine: 'For this act to be truly positive, it must be accompanied by sanctions against Israel'

It's almost as if, before the Gaza famine was officially recognised, it was a story, as media organisations could generate controversy by hosting Israeli government spokespeople and our own rightwing blowhards, insisting it was all a fabrication. Now that it can no longer be denied ... no story.

Map: The countries that recognize a Palestinian state

New in PN: Turns out Republicans don't care about free speech after all "Calling this 'hypocrisy' is too banal and oversimplified. To understand it in full, you have to be attuned to how power operates and how the right thinks about it."

We do not need balance on the absolutely insane bullshit coming out of politicians on both sides of the Atlantic. Just say it’s bullshit

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

BBC and Sky just promoting the far right now.

Here’s last night’s story about Jimmy Kimmel, the FCC, freedom of speech in the U.S., and why certain broadcast groups could learn a thing or two from Love Island. youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis

A timely reminder that while the situation is dire, it is not yet too late to fight back and resist autocracy. DO NOT OBEY, DO NOT COMPLY.

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

Today we mark 80 years of the United Nations. For decades, the UN has been the world’s common ground — a pillar of peace, security, cooperation and multilateralism. The EU is proud to be one of its strongest supporters, working together for a fairer, safer, more united future.

Fascism is an objective thing that exists, and some people fit that description.

Palestinian Ambassador Zomlot says ‘moment stands as defiant act of truth, a refusal to let genocide be the final word’.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

it's better to think of the useless centrist 'expand the tent but only rightwards' media people & politicians as blockers paid to occupy space that could otherwise be utilized productively by a serious person. their opinions are pre-approved by their donors and will never change
