People were equating all of Israel *to* Netanyahu.

If their reply is "Israel elected him", the counter is "America elected Trump".

Turning Israel and Netanyahu into synonyms and Trump and America into synonyms is both despot's dream come true.

Global leftists are the gift that keeps on giving.

I think it's very important for you to listen to the woman in this video.

She is Jewish. She is pro-Palestine, and she will not touch the Pro-Palis movement with a 1000 foot pole.

Some in the far-right have criticized Trump for getting a COVID vaccine booster, calling Trump a "bozo" & a "weirdo" for doing so or wondering how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could "allow him to get it."

QAnon figure MJTruth: "President Trump, in Preparation for his trip to the Middle East, received various immunizations and… the Covid booster shot

Think he really got that shit?

If not, How could RFK Jr allow him to get it?

UP is down. Do not always trust what you read."

John Sabal: "Trump apparently just took an mRNA COVID booster and flu shot, and there are still people who think that people like Bill Gates, Albert Bourla, and Anthony Fauci will actually see justice for their MANY crimes against humanity due to the death jab…

What an ABSOLUTE SMACK IN THE FACE to a vast majority of his base, to 'MAHA', to the entire medical freedom movement, to those who vehemently reject this poison, and even MORE so for those who have lost or injured loved ones as a result.

Many will say 'he didn’t mandate the shot' and it’s 'his choice' etc. but either way this sends a HUGE MESSAGE.

It’s hard to say if he even ever took the shot at all or if this is a placebo, which would actually make this MUCH WORSE because the optics of him taking it encouraged MANY who would other wise not have taken it.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, and I said this MONTHS AGO…

WE HAVE ALL BEEN EPICALLY DUPED"

Another deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. Like previous ones:
-targeted based on proven liars saying “drug traffickers” without presenting any evidence
-illegal under both US and int’l law
-where US forces aren’t under threat and can interdict
-bad strategy if actually against traffickers

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

This technology is so clearly designed to profit off cheating and struggling students--its insidious. And yet universities keep announcing how they're allowing this company into its midst, to exploit and incapacitate our students even more

A photo from Jamie Keller Davis for the NYT: a color photo of a Chicago skyline showing three buildings photographed from street level. The one in the center has brown brick-like walls, and a very large poster advertising ChatGPT. The poster shows a conversation between a hypothetical student and ChatGPT: "Can you quiz me on the muscles of the leg?" "Can you build me a first time marathon training plan?" The text at the bottom of the poster reads: "ChatGPT Plus is free during finals.
