As hostages are being handed over to IDF, Israeli defense minister tweets about bombings to follow

Israel's great challenge after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas's terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under the leadership and supervision of the United States.
This is the primary significance of implementing the agreed-upon principle of demilitarizing Gaza and neutralizing Hamas of its weapons.
I have instructed the IDF to prepare for carrying out the mission.

I'm thinking of all those times Hamas said they didn't know where the hostages were, or that they were dead, etc.

10 minutes until the first seven hostages are handed over to the IDF.

Hamas is due to free the 20 living Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners as part of Donald Trump’s push to end the devastating two-year war in the enclave on.ft.com/4h7JTg7

SNL often feels like when your friend who is a bit socially awkward tries to tell a story that you *know* is funny and you’re just quietly willing them not to fumble it.

💯 Must watch, USA! Please share!

The farm raids and ICE kidnappings are the tip of the iceberg. They are not just random terror. And you shouldn't feel sorry for pro-Trump farmers.

They are rebuilding an official slave state.

Those confederate flags were at J6 for a reason.

ICE Raids Are Only Half The Story

The DNC didn’t lose the election. Voters lost the election.

I’m not sure why this is so hard to grasp.

If you didn’t want a dictator then your vote should have reflected that.

Y’all will blame everyone but yourself but there were only 2 viable choices on your ballot & the DNC wasn’t a choice.

Lie Detector @dementiawatch.bsky.social · 20h

And, a lot of us who know the history of the DNC misuse of identity did not do that.

The DNC lost two elections to George Bush

and

Another two to Donald Trump

Mainly because the DNC has betrayed workers for decades.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

One weekend in mid-August, hundreds of inmates at a minimum-security prison in Bryan, Texas, were locked down, except one: 63-year-old Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice in the sexual abuse of underage girls. She was expecting a secret visitor. www.wsj.com/us-news/ghis...

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

This is happening right now, to a friend of mine in Chicago. This is a peaceful area, with no previous unrest or crime problem. Just people trying to live their lives. My heart hurts. They're having conversations no family should have to have.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that
