Israel killed at least 104 people in Gaza, including 46 children, in overnight strikes on the Palestinian territory.

The attacks came after Israel claimed its soldiers came under attack by Hamas militants, though the group denied responsibility.

From an article about the man in the SS uniform arrested for attacking the woman in Georgia. Just wild that we've accepted that there's a huge social media platform where an account called "@GasChambers" is allowed to openly do Nazi fundraising and that's fine, in fact all the reporters post there.

I cannot stress enough:

If you are helping hide kids from ICE

DO NOT POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT HOW YOU ARE HELPING KIDS HIDE FROM ICE.

Especially do not describe where and how you helped kids hide from ICE under your own name from a verified account with the STREET AND TOWN!

Good Lord...
the apartheid defense league was never great but explicitly couching nazis was a new low

Nazis openly organize on Elon Musk’s X platform and the Nazi fundraising outfit GiveSendGo to bail out a Nazi in Georgia who donned an SS uniform and assaulted a woman with a glass pitcher. www.jpost.com/diaspora/ant...
I feel like this would've been the dream capture mission for animal control but cops will never not take the chance to kill a living thing so ofc they just did that

Some of us said this at the time and were slammed for violating team spirit and OBVIOUSLY the Biden people knew what they were doing so shut up.
In a striking passage, former officials criticize Biden WH for being skittish about publicizing Labor Dept corporate enforcement actions to avoid “politicizing” them.

When voters don't know who's on their side, it risks "fascists stepping in," one says.

When he says “hit it, Joe”, I don’t think first time viewers are going to be prepared for just how hard Joe hits it.
makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.
Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇
you don't have to call yourself a communist but if you're not an anti-capitalist in so form you're incredibly ignorant and/or a bad person
I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

COATES: “Trump’s saying, ‘Y’all, I’m just gonna kill people.’ And the Greatest Deliberative Body has nothing to say about it. Y’all are punk, y’all are cowards.”
“Tell your children who the cowards were.”
so cool how quite literally all national media is completely captured

My gosh. This should be leading every news outlet in America today — a top official gives first-hand proof that the US took Israel's side after its soldiers killed our Palestinian-American press colleague, Shireen Abu-Akleh:
“My findings were beyond reasonable doubt that this was an intentional killing of Shireen Abu Akleh.”

Retired Army Colonel Steve Gabavics tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social that the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, was intentional according to his findings.

Watch the episode:

the moderate position on immigration led to ICE kicking the gate to my building in last week so I will not be voting for any Democrat with a moderate position on immigration

I’m simply not voting for them

abolishing ICE is a top priority
i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away

this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?”

No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers
I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.
Fuckin yikes, man
