TRUMP: "I thought, as Secretary of War, you were going to do the planning for our invasion of Iran."

HEGSETH: "No, I thought, as Commander-in-Chief, *you* were going to do the planning for our invasion of Iran!"

BOTH: "Oops."

US citizen Rachel Corrie was murdered 23 years ago today by Israel as they were illegally bulldozing Palestinian settlements on Palestinian land.

The Israel court said 'she brought it upon herself' and set her killer free.

The US did nothing.

6. Weiss presents her mission at CBS as restoring trust by elevating centrist voices, which is accurate enough if we understand "centrist voices" to mean "the type of men likely to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein."

the oldest adage in journalism is “follow the money”

ohhhhhh okay so what we've learned from the epstein mail drop is that the entirety of the fascistic culture war since the 2010s onward was basically wholesale consolidated through the anglosphere bourgeois old boys club network of pedophile rapists Possum A-ko @kaiserbeamz.b... • 5h So apparently I was right to shittalk mOOt this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

Ain’t I been telling you the reactionary backlash was driven by the very rich and powerful watching regular people use social media to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sex crimes, then watching him dragged sobbing to jail, unprotected by his enormous wealth? What do you think the cancel culture panic was.

If it is not clear, they are arresting Black activists & journalists b/c they can’t deport them legally & state terror can serve a dual purpose of chilling dissent & labeling Black folks as rioters (read-anti nationals)./1

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE 404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.

Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

COWARDS "I think the reason conservatives think we are all paid protestors is because not a single one of them would ever do anything for anyone else unless there was something in it for them." -rolson2356 IMMIGRANTS ARE AMERICA

my understanding as a casual observer has always been that these are so scrupulously recorded as to likely be a severe undercount?

I mean you’ve been rewarding Israel for worse for many years so it’s not very surprising

I think it's also why the Streetings of the world are so willing to believe the privatisation myth.

They're not smart enough to come up with solutions to problems on their own and they're too arrogant to consult experts, so they're like kids with a massive piggy bank buying job lots of magic beans.

Well, at least nothing bad has ever come from partnerships between German and Italian conservatives.

Ah, an intellectual battle between a stochastic parrot incapable of true thought, designed in a laboratory to satisfy the whims of the far-right, and Grok.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

I don't think these people understand just how transparently they're telegraphing their grievances and insecurities upon us, making it our problem. To these people, practicing a craft for the sake of enjoyment and betterment is just another form of "friction" that needs to be optimized and flattened

Did you know? Chromosome testing in sports has been done before and was stopped because cisgender people repeatedly learned that their chromosomes didn’t match their assigned sex. — Something the “XX and XY only” crowd seems to have forgotten.

I would’ve fought the Nazis for sure. But I’m not going to fight Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is just looking for an excuse to invade Greenland, as soon as he has all the Generals fired who might oppose him and the US Tariffs really start to hit hard he will invade Greenland as a distraction.

it’s still the funniest thing that some DOGE supporters still think the ‘savings’ tab is real and will be distributed in peoples tax returns. biggest rubes in the world

“The carnage induced by our last five presidents, our largely Republican legislature, and the previous legislatures, and the whitewashing performed by the American and Western European legacy media is directly responsible for 100 percent of the 100,000 kids” believed to be killed in the genocide by some estimates, Perlmutter said. “And if the media cannot acknowledge, for example, that [the 1948 Nakba] even happened … then you’re not either going to investigate or report on the babies that were buried alive in the mass grave that’s not even 100 yards from me,” he said. “The issue is that, when it’s a thunderstorm in Palestine since 1948, and Israel says it’s sunny outside, the American and Western media … says it’s an absolutely beautiful day.”

On Sunday, Israeli forces bombed a hospital in Gaza where US doctors Mark Perlmutter and Feroze Sidhwa were working -- just hours after they gave a CNN interview in which Perlmutter laid this *scathing* critique of US media and politicians' complicity in Israeli massacres.
