HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.
Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
hasan makes an obvious joke and has generally good politics and the media is like we need to drown him to prove he's not a witch. meanwhile tucker carlson goes live and talks about how demons are real and one tried to eat him in his sleep once and the media is like he seems trustworthy

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed today in a targeted Israeli strike. The IDF fired live rounds and stun grenades at the Red Cross ambulances trying to reach her. She is the 4th journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March.

“For Amal, journalism is not a profession but resistance by other means – where reporting is an act of witnessing, and writing becomes a vital line of defense” — @thepublicsource.bsky.social interview with Amal Khalil, the Lebanese journalist killed by Israel today
80 year old congressman David Scott has died after serving in the House for 23 years.
He is the fourth Democratic congressperson age 70+ to die in office since 2025.
I’ve been feeling like I have lunatic.exe running in my background processes for the past few days, and if anyone is familiar with Leeja Miller (a fellow ((actual)) ace attorney) her latest vid was a welcome reassurance that my feeling insane (and enraged) is totally valid✨👯♀️🔪✨

The raping of prisoners by Israeli guards & their trained dogs (yes — dogs trained to anally rape) is SYSTEMIC.
It’s planned. It’s organized. It’s supported by the Israeli government.

Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la Some have said that claims that Israel uses dogs to sexually abuse prisoners are antisemitic blood libels. Unfortunately, there is a good deal of evidence. The organizations that confirmed this include B'Tselem, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, Council on American-Islamic Relations. Here is the testimony of survivors: 1) "Nihad" (50-year-old father, Ofer Prison): In an interview with Anadolu Agency, Nihad testified that during a pre-dawn raid on January 14, 2024, Israeli soldiers ordered a police dog to sexually assault him. He described it as "the most painful moments of my life" and noted that the assault left him with deep physical wounds and long-term trauma. 2) "A.A." (35-year-old father, Sde Teiman): Arrested from Al-Shifa Hospital in March 2024, A.A. told the PCHR that soldiers took him to a corridor away from cameras, stripped him naked, and unleashed dogs that urinated on him before one dog raped him anally for approximately three minutes. He emphasized
approximately three minutes. He emphasized that the dog appeared "trained" and "knew exactly what it was doing". 3) "Halim Salem" (Pseudonym, West Bank Detainee): Testified to Middle East Eye that while he was forced to kneel with his head in a toilet, guards brought in a dog that "mounted and raped" him. He recalled that when he screamed, the guards beat him for "disturbing the dog". 4) "Wajdi" (43-year-old, Gaza Detainee): Recounted to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor that during interrogation, he was tied naked to a metal bed and raped by both a soldier and a dog while other soldiers filmed and mocked him. 5) Mohammed Arab (Al Araby TV Correspondent): While detained at Sde Teiman, he told his lawyer he witnessed soldiers forcing dogs to rape prisoners. He stated, "They teach their dogs to have sex with prisoners. Can you imagine?". 6) 18-year-old Gazan Detainee (Sde Teiman): Testified to PCHR that while he and other captives were being raped with bottles by
captives were being raped with bottles by soldiers, there was "also a dog behind us, as if the dog was raping us," serving as a form of extreme psychological and physical humiliation. 7) 48-year-old Detainee (Al-Shifa/Military Outpost): Reported witnessing a dog maul another man's genitals until the victim bled to death in his arms. 8) The Committee to Protect Journalists and Middle East Monitor have collected dozens of testimonies from journalists who reported being subjected to "dog attacks" and sexualized torture during their detention. I talked to two guards in Sde Teiman, on more than one occasion. One had seen this happen and said it was too awful to talk about. The other said that he had heard about it from others and believed it was true. This happened. This is happening still. The evidence is too overwhelming.
So content warning on this for extreme sexual violence.
This is something that has been reported for over a year now. Not only have prisoners including at least one doctor been raped to death, it has become a pattern to use attack dogs to rape prisoners. The first to report this was a survivor.

My latest for @newrepublic.com, a survey of extreme Ohio bills that could become law. It's a result of gerrymandering--a lack of representation that results in the farthest extreme winning seats, shoving extreme ideas into law we all have to live with--and that can serve as models for other states.
It was only a matter of time: the powerful anti-abortion org Students for Life has endorsed legislation to imprison abortion patients.
The move marks the biggest shift in anti-abortion politics in decades. jessica.substack.com/p/the-mask-i...
Palantir raises more red flags when you learn the CEO, Alex Karp is obsessed with speaking in German and describes himself as a socialist but doesn't believe in any leftist economic policies.
Today, a lot of people will be talking about the manifesto that Palantir released. In addition to pouring over what those words mean, I invite you to ground the conversation in what Palantir has already done.
Its work with Israel and ICE show us exactly what it stands for.
im really sick of democratic politicians taking shits on their supporters and giving oxygen to fascist garbage as a political stunt to further their personal careers
One thing I wish we acknowledged more is that the anti-woke coalitions have won—both in the Democratic Party and in much of the country more broadly—and yet they’re still complaining.
Even during the "ceasefire", the Israelis are still demolishing entire villages in southern Lebanon with armored bulldozers. In fact, civilian contractors hired by the army receive pay which is based on the number of buildings destroyed.
Schumer voted against blocking the sale of these bulldozers.
You can actually tell pro-apartheid Dems like @andybeshearky.bsky.social are really nervous because @abdulelsayed.bsky.social could very well win. So, they're literally pulling Elissa Slotkin catchphrases out. It's embarrassing.
The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

This is what Israel has done to Bint Jbeil, my hometown in southern Lebanon
There’s a reason Republicans don’t constantly shit on their own voters and that’s because it is an abysmal strategy for winning elections
Call you senators NOW! Vote no on the SAVE ACT, vote NO on HJR 140! CALL NOW! Protect our right to vote and protect our public lands!!

The myth that survivors come forward to reap a bunch of social rewards is one that should have died a long time ago. It’s literally just misinformation.
Most of the anti-survivor/pro-perpetrator rhetoric is. Survivors are telling the truth, so the primary weapon left to attack them is lying.
“But why would you drink with him if you thought he was a creep?” Because creepy men are still powerful people in their fields. Because they are still the professional & social contacts we are forced to maintain. Because the same people tell us we’re crazy for thinking a man is creepy to begin with.
During law school, on campus interviews were conducted in hotel rooms. If you wanted a job at one of those firms, you had to go to men's hotel rooms.
Chapel Roan is just the latest woman to be targeted and stigmatized. As Kat Tenbarge said, “this is supposedly the great threat of the #MeToo movement to permanently tarnish innocent men’s reputations, but in reality, it happens all the time to women over significantly less serious allegations.”
I've spent months talking to men imprisoned at ICE camps across the American southwest.
Some of them say they continue to be mistreated by guards who act with even more impunity following Geraldo Lunas Campos’ death — which a coroner ruled a homicide.

1. The Tennessee Senate just voted 24-7 to pass House Bill 754, which will create a public list of the state’s trans people.
It now goes to the House—which passed it 3 weeks ago—for a concurrence vote before heading to the Governor’s desk for his signature.

When a USAID whistleblower told Trump people that it'd be hard to pull together accurate info on Malaria since DOGE had turned off access to the whole team who worked on that issue, one of the guys shouted “See, this is why, just because it might work at Twitter does not mean you can do it here!”
The Trump administration is codifying anti-contraception rhetoric into the nation’s family planning program, Title X. To "encourage" women to have more children, HHS is calling on future Title X grantees to focus on “natural family planning methods” and “infertility services.”
In an active lawsuit against the FDA, the state of Missouri is arguing that access to the abortion drug mifepristone has reduced teen birth rates, thereby harming its political representation in Congress. It’s an argument being made in federal court not just on Fox
