"Despite these war crimes carried out daily and in plain view, the United States has provided more than $22 billion for Israel's military operations since this war began," says Sanders. "In other words, American taxpayer dollars starve children, bomb schools, and kill civilians.“ - Bernie Sanders

Peter Thiel is coming out with a 4-part series about identifying the antichrist.

Like we need a 4-part series. We're in America. Pretty sure we already know the signs.

This fabulous lady breaks it down into 4 points. In under 3 minutes.

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”

In Kirensk, long lines have formed at gas stations since last week. According to local media, only two of the city’s seven stations remain operational.

Earlier, cities like Bodaybo and Taksimo imposed strict limits on fuel sales, capping purchases at 30 to 50 liters per customer.

The government’s own data and detentions like the ones we reported on in Chicago raise serious doubt about whether the Trump administration’s mission is to target “the worst of the worst” at all. New reporting from @msnbc.com. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

"This protest, Johnson said, would be a 'hate America rally' run by 'the pro-Hamas wing and Antifa people.'

"[The first 'No Kings' event back in June], which attracted millions of people, was almost comedically star-spangled in its affect and remarkably peaceful in its execution."

Bill Kristol @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · 1d

"No Kings is happening, and this is how Republicans are talking about it.

Accusations like 'terrorist wing,' 'pro-Hamas,' and 'Antifa' aren’t just insults. They’re phrases that unlock, in the view of the administration, a permission structure for state violence."
