Sustained anti-Muslim hate + complaints that I'm "too critical of genocide & the Israeli Govt" = 400 cancellations of paid Subs to my human rights newsletter.

So...I'm doubling down. I cannot trade dignity for dollars, and hope those who feel the same support me.

In normal times, $220m being squandered on a no-bid ad campaign for a presidential appointee, which went into pockets connected to that appointee, would be enough to trigger an investigation.

But in the house of grift that is the Trump admin, that's just a typical payment for loyalty.

Some outlets are reporting that DOGE "doesn't exist" anymore. But the fine print on that overturns the whole story: DOGE is just dropping its tarnished brand, not the chainsaw. 🧵

"The 'ceasefire' is a diplomatic sham – a cover for the continuing extermination, displacement and erasure of the Palestinian people in Gaza and a distraction for the international public and the media."

No, there is no ceasefire in Gaza
Israel’s bombing of Gaza is not a ‘violation of the ceasefire'. It is a continuing genocide under diplomatic cover.

Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said: “We attacked a senior commander in Hezbollah. The goal was to prevent the group from increasing its strength and to stop anyone who tries to threaten Israel.”

The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here.

People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong.

It’s insane the latter is treated as antisemitism.

The idol of white Christian Nationalism itself shifted from a general idolatry of America (lots of patriotic imagery, flags) to an idol that became increasingly gendered, tied to the idea of an authoritarian strongman & explicitly connected to violence & weapons. We see this in a few key figures...

Also, America doesn’t do slick regime change now, if it ever did. What it does is: it collapses the government then leaves the country to fall into violent anarchy, so that it’s ripe for domination by friendlier countries in the region. You can decide whether that’s by accident or design.
Cracks me up how you could just replace Venezuela and Venezuelans with Iraq and Iraqis and it’d be indistinguishable from something written in 2002

Handing the keys of governance to unqualified billionaires and allowing them to far exceed the proper role of the Executive Branch in dictating to other agencies (i.e. Musk/DOGE) or institutions of civil society (as with Rowan/ Compact) sure does not seem "populist."

I straight up thought Sarbanes Oxley was supposed to prevent this kind of thing.

It's giving off big Enron vibes.
Meta’s data-center accounting gets the Jon Weil treatment:

It’s “financed with debt, and neither the data center nor the debt will be on its own balance sheet. That outcome looks too good to be true, and it probably is.”

A W. Philly apartment building was destroyed in a suspected arson right after its tenants were evicted and the building sold to shell company. What is this, the ‘70s? Great reporting by Ryan Briggs and William Bender. www.inquirer.com/news/phil-pu...
Landlord Phil Pulley transferred ownership of West Philly apartments days before suspected arson, records show
Property records show the notorious landlord signed a deed transfer two days before the June 2025 fire. The new owners are now demolishing the building.

Israel has violated the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire nearly 500 times in 44 days—killing 342 civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.

That's more than 11 violations every single day.

The genocide never stopped. Palestinians are still being killed.
