The US is very much the senior partner in this relationship and thinking otherwise is crazy conspiracy stuff that conjures up old antisemitic tropes.
This is a good example of obvious bullshit and why conspiratorial antisemitism makes you dumb. No, it doesn’t actually make sense to think the DHS gov account is managed out of Israel. that’s actually a really stupid thing to think.

If you start by saying how many people you are going to arrest, the entire operation should be enjoined. That’s not how anything should work.
Border agents are set to target communities in southeast Mississippi and Louisiana in a major immigration crackdown called "Swamp Sweep.”

Federal agents aim to arrest 5,000 people during the operation.

we gotta keep hammering over and over again just how fucking unpopular this guy is with every institution and every person in a position of power

people hate him and people will hate you for capitulating to him
Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

i love it when a cis person says 'yeah well transphobes disagree with you so obviously we need to do more research'.

as tho the opinions of trans ppl and transphobes should carry equal weight.

we're talking about my life. transphobes want to end my life. these are not two equal positions of merit.
There are people just as puffed up and zealous about this as you are, but in the opposite direction. The quotes in the article about inconsistent/contradictory evidence are just the truth 🤷‍♂️

Police dragged away protesters for simply carrying signs proclaiming, “I support Palestine Action.”

Protester: “Stop genocide in Palestine! We call on Keir Starmer to do the right thing. We want this Labour government to do the right thing.”

This week, six members of Palestine Action went on trial in the U.K. on charges of aggravated burglary, criminal damage and violent disorder, after they broke into a factory that produces hardware for the Israeli weapons maker Elbit Systems and used sledgehammers to destroy equipment.

We SHOULD use jargon like "proletariat" and "bourgeoisie" precisely because colloquial phrases like "middle class" and "liberal" are subjective and contradictory. Subjective phrases muddy the waters and confuse the people. Marxists have precise words with precise meanings. Use them!

“The Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza has not ended, and it will not end until we act. Since the so-called ‘ceasefire’ was announced, Israeli forces haven’t stopped killing Palestinians,” said Tlaib in a statement.

theres no coming back from this without prosecuting everyone up and down the chain of command
They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.

pretty cool how there's basically no recourse for a government who behaves like this other than losing an election and some folks leaving for the private sector

doesn't exactly inspire confidence in liberal democracy

Academics. If your university uses Gmail as its primary service and you leave this switched on, there is a strong possibility that you will be violating the FERPA protections of students. They have enforceable rights.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

He was revered.

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff
