"What do I think of the Board of Peace? I think it is a colonialist operation: others deciding for the Palestinians." -Cardinal Pizzaballa, Latin patriarch of Jerusalem

A post so smart I'm almost afraid to share it. www.garbageday.email/p/the-only-t...

This is what happened with the War on Terror in Britain when Obama took over: there was clearly a decision taken to punt it back to page 17 of the paper, because the whole thing was a shitshow and most of it was indefensible. And the need for quiet here is much more urgent.

Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.

AOC: “You are the Attorney General of the United States of America & you don't want to hold anyone of these pedophiles accountable — resign or be impeached"

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Munich attendee: Should we re-evaluate military aid to Israel? AOC: “The idea of completely unconditional aid--no matter what one does--does not make sense. I think it enabled a genocide in Gaza”

AOC says unconditional military aid to Israel "enabled a genocide" and that enforcing Leahy laws (and "enforcement of our own laws") is mandatory.

This is really, really dark. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Just going to note again, because somehow we've all completely retconned this and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, that pound-for-pound Biden had one of the most draconian border security regimes of any U.S. president ever, second only to Trump, *many of whose policies he inherited and kept*

I don't talk to anyone this much www.economist.com/interactive/...

amazing how yet another round of "you have to promise you'll vote for the shitbag years in advance" reveals itself to have nothing to do with strategy and pragmatics and everything to do with "i am scared and anxious and everyone on the internet needs to promise me everything will turn out alright"

"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier." I'm honestly speechless.

Rep. Jayapal asks Epstein survivors in the audience of Pam Bondi's House DOJ hearing to stand if they have still been unable to meet with the Department of Justice. All of the survivors in the room stand. Jayapal then asks Bondi to apologise to them. She refuses.

"imaginary weapons" @kristinmreid.bsky.social? Want to tell West Point that they don't know what they are talking about? lieber.westpoint.edu/detonating-a...

"Arguing intelligence & adjacent traits are biologically determined served a clear function for Epstein, who treated women as subordinate. It’s equally unsurprising that the powerful people he cultivated might come up with a natural, objective explanation for their perch at the top of society"

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

The genocidal Israeli president says Israel has prevented intl journalists from entering Gaza because they don't want them to get hurt. Meanwhile they've targeted and murdered hundreds of Palestinian journalists, along with shooting kids in the head & starving people to death.

absolutely *incredible* scenes on vichy twitter

This is how a liberal talks to someone that was against the slaughter of a foreign nation perpetuated by our entire government. I will keep posting these examples and Im keeping an archive. I want these to be in history books someday

Interesting follow up from Phil Gordon, former senior aide to President Biden on MENA and the National Security Advisor to Kamala Harris, where he says that *technically* Biden didn't violate the law because Biden's lawyers did not determine that he broke the law.

A lot of the people who still insist that the Biden administration left nothing on the table when it came to Gaza should have to contend with Harris herself saying that her boss did in fact leave leverage on the table

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Guys guys I saw a picture of the Pro Billionaire March

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why? Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

People keep debating whether Epstein is more tied to Russia or Israel without understanding it's the same people: dual Russia/Israeli citizens involved in organized crime. The modern roots of this operation, going back to the 1980s, are detailed in the excerpt from HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT below.

Name them shame them

Kind of amazed she had it turned on? I only turn it on when I'm crossing borders or am visiting a country controlled by a repressive regime ahhh shit

New from 404 Media: the FBI has been unable to get into the iPhone of raided Washington Post journalist because the phone had Lockdown Mode enabled. Apple markets Lockdown Mode mostly to stop spyware like NSO. Here, a real world example of it stopping access too www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

Given the WaPo disaster, I’m re-posting my starter pack of indie journalists—it probably needs an update so give me a shout to add folks. #wapo #journalism go.bsky.app/A2UpMn5

In light of the WaPo fuckery, re-sharing @gregpak.net's Local Journalists Starter Pack. It's not all-encompassing, but a GREAT start!

BREAKING: “Can the PM tell us did the official security vetting he received mention Mandelson’s ongoing relationship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein?” “Yes it did” Keir Starmer PM confirms he was aware of Mandelson's ongoing friendship with Epstein before he was appointed Ambassador

Some interesting reporting in the New Statesman. There was a shortlist of four to be UK Ambassador to the US. Starmer favoured George Osborne. It was Morgan McSweeney who pushed for Mandelson.

Epstein, Mossad, and the question we are not allowed to ask but must do Epstein and Maxwell ran a “honeytrap” operation for Mossad, which survivor Maria Farmer described as a “Jewish supremacist” blackmail ring. So, why aren't we talking about it? www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026...

Epstein asks Barak to say he isn’t Mossad… and adds a smiley emoji

as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

"America’s deeper question is whether it can restore a culture of shame. Those who dealt with Epstein on money, tax or non-iniquitous connections are a far larger universe than his circle of alleged sexual abusers. Epstein’s ordinary buddies/his enablers abandoned shame." www.ft.com/content/3f82...

A note from our editors:

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

The Rafah crossing has reopened - but only barely. Despite 20,000 sick Palestinians waiting to leave Gaza for medical treatment, only around 50 will be permitted to leave each day. No aid will be allowed through to Gaza. No foreign journalists will be allowed in either.

Doesn't seem like this should be his job
