Most Americans believe Trump went to war to cover up the Epstein scandal. But making this link, inc. rebranding the war as "Operation Epstein Fury", is antisemitic according to the ADL, and the Washington Post will report this absurd claim uncritically.

This is illegal act of war committed by a president who is actively trying to cover up evidence he sexually assaulted a 13 year old girl.
This should not be treated as legitimate in any way.
Yes Sir we have launched the Preventative strikes to Prevent War
The phrase “preemptive strike” is as insulting as when we were sold “humanitarian pauses” in the middle of a live-streamed genocide. The powerful looking you straight in the face and telling you your common sense simply doesn’t matter.
Support For Attacking Iran:

Support: 27%

The best way to liberate Iranians is to bomb them, destroy their infrastructure and turn their country into a failed state.
So refreshing to wake up to good news for once 💚
Turns out being unequivocally anti-genocide while focusing on the economic realities of your constituency is a winning combo!
That would require journalists to look out the window to see if it's raining
Co-owner of Man Utd says UK has been ‘colonised by immigrants’
'George Clooney wife'
The GOP has offered nothing this century except for catastrophic wars. No healthcare plan; no re-industrialization. Now they're losing their only issue, immigration, as people see the violence and havoc that comes with mass deportations.
MAGA fuckface in cozy red sweater, holding dog also wearing sweater, against a background of vivid red foliage.
Endlessly useful Zack Fox tweet from 2018: this how photos be lookin in headlines when a white man kills his entire family. (it's a guy on a jetski with wife and daughter.)
Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.
The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.
The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue
we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind
We had a good run
If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States
I really wish ministers showed the same sense of urgency to prevent a genocide (they did the opposite) as they're now doing to allow some racist football hooligans in to the country
British.
Yahya Barzaq, photographing a baby
Say his name: Yahya Barzaq, one of the 275+ journalists killed in Gaza. He was known as one of the most prominent photojournalists still alive in Gaza. Prior to the genocide, he was known for gently photographing newborn babies.
To be fair, we'd probably be doing a massive weapons deal, or planning some golf courses over there
The old city before at the upper side and the old city after at the down side
Gaza, The Old City - Before and After
The UK is due to press ahead Sunday with recognition of a Palestinian state before making a formal declaration at the United Nations on Monday, according to three people briefed on the plans.
The president is intentionally killing non-combatants who pose no direct threat in violation of domestic, international and military law and his VP and chief policy adviser are promising an authoritarian crackdown on his political opponents. Just today.
Democracy and the rule of law are on the line
If Keir Starmer wasn't PM, he'd have been on stage with Yaxley-Lennon in London yesterday. His beliefs about immigration are broadly similar.
It really is so striking how much The Discourse operates untethered from…what we actually know. The killer is still at large! We have no idea who did it! Seems pretty important to get that sorted.
