Hell, they don’t even pay their taxes

The split between elite and popular opinion on Israel is really remarkable

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, the far-right, led by the Trump administration, has doubled its efforts to crackdown on transgender people. My latest article in The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This seems really bad.

Transgender Americans are seeing a wave of hate unleashed by Charlie Kirk’s killing | Erin Reed

i really wish our law enforcement and media werent telegraphing to mass shooters that messages written on bullets will be breathlessly and uncritically publicized with no further examination

I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.

FBI: Do u know Karl Marx Mahmood Mamdani: Haven’t met him FBI: No, he's dead Mamdani: Wow, what happened? FBI: No, no, he died long ago Mamdani: Why are you asking me? FBI: He wrote that poor people should not be poor Mamdani: Sounds wonderful readingfanon.blogspot.com/2013/07/in-c...

I will not link to it. I just want to reiterate that thousands of books have been banned by the right. And American Dirt sold millions of copies.

Things have really changed. Now I need your help.   I wrote about why I left academia, why I left America, why I left Substack - and why I need your support as I am starting over as a full-time independent writer:   Some major personal news: steady.page/en/democracy...

In the same week he also delivers the dumbest speech about autism of all time. Impressive stupidity.

One of the reasons why the FBI is supposed to be apolitical is because Americans need to have trust that investigations into atrocities like this morning are competent and removed from politics. Instead, now that the FBI is highly politicized, half the country will not trust anything they say.

Why yes, I AM extremely suspicious of a supposed “anti-ICE” shooter that only shot detainees and themselves, why do you ask?

Remarkable document: hundreds of European politicians are calling to mobilize European resources to protect the Sumud aid flotilla as it faces escalating attacks on its way to Gaza. In other words: European politicians are trying to protect humanitarian volunteers *from Israel.*

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Even when we tell them what we want these dudes: liar!

The FBI says anti-ICE messaging was found on the bullets but it was detainees who were shot. Something isn't adding up. wtop.com/national/202...

FBI released this image of the alleged bullets in the shooting at the ICE facility this morning in Dallas.

Trump/MAGA are trying to gaslight us into believing that anti-Jimmy Kimmel America is vast and deep, that MAGA's grip on the culture is unshakable, that mobilization is futile. But this episode has demonstrated the opposite. Let's not forget it. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2008...

As I was saying…

BREAKING: Democrat Adelita Grijalva has won the special election in AZ-7 to fill her late father's US House seat. The discharge petition to release the Epstein files needs one more signature, and she's expected to sign it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Trump just threatened to sue ABC again for allowing Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, which is SUPER weird, because all of these Republicans said that the decision to pull Kimmel’s show was a “business decision.”

1. A federal judge has blocked a Trump policy that says the National Endowment for the Arts will disfavor LGBTQ+ performances, ruling it violates their 1A rights. NEA funding is a significant for theatres. Their ban helped stop plays with trans themes. Subscribe to support our journalism.

BREAKING: Kimmel is Uncancelled (for now). But note! Disney isn’t bringing him back because of the law, morals, ethics, or any of those noble reasons. They’re bringing him back because they lost billions of dollars. Boycotts work. Keep piling on. Fascist actions should have lasting consequences.

Ingen over og ingen ved siden af Kaare Dybvad politiken.dk/del/DWteAdAE...

Collective action is what led to this. Keep the energy up for trans people, for artists, for our BIPOC community, for Palestine. We have shown them WHY we have free speech and HOW we will keep it. Now. Keep USING it.

"Hundreds of Jewish Health Professionals Say 'End the Genocide' in Gaza"

Asked why he hasn't endorsed Zohran Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries replies: "I'm going to make that decision on an individual basis, consulting with other members of the congressional delegation and beyond."

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Hvorfor er det vi skal have så massiv dækning af en mindehøjtidelighed for en amerikansk influencer i danske medier? Jeg forstår godt at Trump forsøger at bruge opmærksomheden på at angribe politiske modstanderes rettigheder, men hvad er argumentet til at bidrage til dette projekt?

Us just existing threatens no one. This is the absolute dumbest fucking shit

It's particularly the case among the Americans who are paid to decide which news is important, and who despite everything still can't bring themselves to accurately describe the fact that the president is serially murdering people and our systems are unable to stop him

This was from 2022. It was always clear that the "free speech™️" crowd were using those arguments to advance hate speech so once they were in power, they could ban and censor their political opposition.

Never, ever underestimate the short-term damage that fascists are capable of. When Idi Amin told thousands of Asians that they had just 90 days to leave Uganda, lots of people laughed. “He could never do that! That’s ridiculous.” But then the violence started. www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

KOM NU DANMARK!!!

The Duchess of York, the former wife of Prince Andrew, allegedly called the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein a 'supreme friend' in a leaked email

🇧🇦🇵🇸 Bosnian survivors of genocide have protested Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. "We went through horrors of war in a very similar way."

0,13 % af voldelige hadforbrydelser gik ud over jøder i 2024. Politiet afviser at efterforske de resterende 99,87 %, spytter på transpersoner, og begår selv hadforbrydelser. Men fortæl mig hvorfor der skal laves endnu en plan for de 0,13 %! bsky.app/profile/rasm...

Together? Like Custer and the indigenous people? Like Carnegie and his workers? Like the klan and the black community? Like McCarthy and the LGBT? Like Daley and the protesters? Like Reagan and the poor? Like Bush and New Orleans? Wtf are you talking about?

Problem solved….
