Today is Nakba Day. You cannot understand what lies at the heart of conflict in the Middle East unless you understand what happened to 85% of Palestinians in 1948. Here Eugene Rogan explains how hundred of thousands ended up as homeless refugees in Gaza

... When your up shit posting all night it makes it hard to stay awake the next day ...

Palestinians tell of widespread Israeli sexual violence against men, women and even children — by soldiers, settlers, Shin Bet interrogators, and prison guards. It has become one of Israel’s “standard operating procedures." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

once again, just spitballing, what if we just provided for everyone's basic material needs

AOC: “Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post — he laid off some of the highest qualified journalists that made it an American institution so that he could turn it into a mouthpiece that launders his personal agenda & opinions”

Wow 🤩 The Weather Channel posted this.

Fun fact. More people think Trumps assassination was staged than think it was real. Same as Butler. Trump has lied so much, no one believes a word he says.

I've noticed that the government really doesn't care, whether we are unhappy with things that they are doing... Soon, they will be telling US what THEY are demanding. We are no LONGER a democracy. The illusion that "government" works FOR us is not true anymore. They also act like they're not leaving

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

"'They said they had to cut $1 trillion in fraud, waste, and abuse yet they’re using taxpayer money to remove people with protected status and flying them to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.'" And they are:

Leaked memos show that the Supreme Court’s emergency docket is rife with double standards. bit.ly/4sZ1wCR

Houlahan to Hegseth: "In your opening remarks, you reserved more words and more vitriol to condemn Democrats than you did for Xi and Putin combined. It's pretty telling to me that you decided to use your time for that."

Today's demolition of Voting Rights Act by Roberts Court will likely trigger largest drop in Black representation since end of Reconstruction. They're taking America back to Jim Crow, when white supremacy and one party rule enshrined across South www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

White supremacy.

This is shameful. Every American should be outraged--and saddened--at the devastation to the Voting Rights Act, to fair representation, to protections against race discrimination, to our democracy, to our history, to our country. Shame on the Roberts Court.

In the abstract, I completely agree. But so much of the problem is the media ecosystem, and that goes well beyond something any political party can fix. But "how do we create a better informed citizenry?" is a key question we need to be asking.

The Plot to Enslave America:

He also wouldn’t have faked assassination attempts— one after another— to improve his polling numbers, worn a ludicrous ear drape to hide being ENTIRELY untouched, or used a fake blood capsule despite his experience acting in Hollywood movies.

"If we wait for the hyperrich to finally realize that their fates are tied to ours—for their children to contract measles, or for them to get cabin fever in their apocalypse bunkers—it will be too late for many of the rest of us." - @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

And the nation's most influential news companies and pundits spent *years* treating them as free-speech warriors who would remedy the excesses of the censorial left.

Nine out of 12 Trump voters told a New York Times focus group that they wish they had not voted for the president.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are wrecking our Social Security system so they can rob it. And every Republican in Congress is complicit, says Alex Lawson of @socialsecurityworks.org.

It doesn't get any more anti-science than this. After gutting cancer research, Trump has fired the entire National Science Board. This is the insanity of a deranged authoritarian who gives ZERO fucks about America's future generations. 😳👇

Glad American media will have something to focus on, since there is no clickbaity interest in the Middle East; North Korea, Russia and China, CUSMA negotiations..

Also worth noting that it doesn't matter how much these billionaires are "worth" if they don't pay taxes anyway. Bigger argument to be made if they move their actual companies, but many billionaires rely on subsidies & state support for employees, so again it's unclear how much is lost if they move.

"Why is Israel doing this?" Because everyone lets them?

55% of Americans now feel that their financial situation is worsening — a higher level than during the Great Recession and the pandemic, according to Gallup. news.gallup.com/poll/708905/...

Before Trump fired him for doing his job, former FTC Commissioner @bedoyausa.bsky.social spent 3 years meeting with working people across America. He discovered they all had one thing in common: the corporate elite were bleeding them dry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2OH...

The complicit bootlickers in the American media ..

this is real

The press has Stockholm syndrome. Stop sitting in interviews and letting this man abuse you. Stop acting like he’s not trying to suppress free speech. And for f*ck’s sake stop attending events that normalize his regime and make you look complicit.

I’d say it’s weird all these “freedom fighters” want to restrict everything but themselves but it’s not weird it’s fascism.

Once again because I picked up a few new followers.

supposed to abide by higher standards. And since he doesn’t, fuck him and fuck anyone who enabled him.

One thing I will NOT do is allow anyone who excuses or ignores the consistent violent and vitriolic rhetoric of that asshole, to tell me or anyone else to pipe down or temper our tone. FUCK THAT! I reject any notion that a POTUS gets to be held to lower standards than average citizens. He is

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. www.linkedin.com/posts/janros...

Trump says we all must resolve our differences peacefully yet he considers half of America his enemies who need to be eradicated. He is the war monger calling for violence against anyone who disagrees with him. The violence in America comes from him and his supporters.

😕🇺🇸

He attended the WHCA dinner (his first) solely to stage the assassination attempt. It was another sympathy ploy to boost ratings and use as an argument for his ballroom This is a desperate man.

Millions of Americans looked at this fuck face and thought….ya he should be President.
