Scoop: U.S. seeks UN approval for Gaza security force with broad two-year mandate

The resolution would also empower the Trump-led Board of Peace at least through 2027.

Ben Shapiro was just ratioed by Nick Fuentes on X after Shapiro called out Tucker Carlson and Fuentes for their antisemitism.

The neo nazi right is fully taking over the republican party.

Screenshot of an X post by Nicholas J. Fuentes replying to Ben Shapiro.
Fuentes’s post lists a series of rejections: “No to Ben Shapiro, No to the neocons, No to dual citizens, No to Benjamin Netanyahu, No to cancel culture, No to genocide and ethnic cleansing, No to the Christ-hating Talmud, No to Greater Israel, No to our Jewish oligarchy,” followed by “AMERICA FIRST. AMERICA FOREVER 🇺🇸.”
Below, it shows Ben Shapiro’s earlier post saying, “No to the groypers. No to cowards like Tucker Carlson, who normalize their trash. No to those who champion them. No to demoralization…,” along with an image of Shapiro speaking into a microphone on his show “The Ben Shapiro Show.”

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

One of the most meaningful moments I recall when I was desperate for literally anything to cling to during Trump 1.0 was the emergence of Teen Vogue as a destination for anti-fascist coverage. It was so surprising that it became a popular joke, indeed an in-joke, that TV was such a destination.

Olayemi Olurin-Boleware @olurinatti.bsky.social · 7h

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

Teen Vogue did some great journalism around immigration detention and enforcement. Sounds like corporate has now killed that off.

The media landscape shrinks even further.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.
