Those complicit in Israel's genocide will go to jail.

Stop being defeatist. Stop making the lack of justice a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This crime is too extreme, too depraved, too confessed to, too documented.

It may take years. But they will go to jail.

Universities are serving as staging grounds for the Trump regime’s attacks on immigrants, people of color, trans and queer people, and critics of Zionism. Universities and campus communities must refuse to cooperate with this fascist agenda.

Most of yesterday's intelligence hearing focused on Signal.

Something else not to be missed: this exchange between Sen. King (ME-I) Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. King asked why the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment did not mention climate change, after doing so for 11 years.

Mahmoud Khalil’s views on antisemitism recorded in a CNN interview. Here’s what he said to Wolf Blitzer on April 29, 2024:

Pentagon Cuts Threaten Programs That Secure Loose Nukes and Weapons of Mass Destruction Documents obtained by WIRED show the US Department of Defense is considering cutting up to 75 percent of workers who stop the spread of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons.

Like the sales tax, tariffs function as regressive taxes that harm lower/middle-income families. They are flat increases.

When the costs of goods/essentials rise, those in the lowest income brackets feel the increase more because of the proportional impact on disposable income.

a very confused Trump still thinks that people who make political asylum claims by definition come from insane asylums

Five things I did last week.

1. Took too much ketamine
2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw
3. Ignored my new baby momma
4. Laughed at my own jokes.
5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

I WILL FIGHT FOR JANET MILLS.

I would fight for the State of Maine but I suspect folks from Maine have that covered.

There's no way Elon Musk’s job is legal "Checks and balances, at the moment, seem to be neutralized.”

There is no legal architecture that allows Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to remake the entire federal government without running afoul of criminal conflict of interest laws.

In other words, there's no way that his role is legal, constitutional, or compatible with democratic governance.

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

Nine paragraphs into today's NYT story on the situation with the Gaza ceasefire, readers are informed that Israeli officials and international mediators "said that Hamas’s claims were accurate."

New bill from Sen. Kaine: US will not take over Gaza.

Says Palestinians have right to self-determination; occupation would radicalize people; no interest in new forever war.

Co-sponsors: Blumenthal, Durbin, Ossoff, Sanders, Van Hollen, Warnock, Welch, Wyden, Duckworth, Merkley.

‘Somebody gotta do it!’

During Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LVI halftime performance of “TV Off,” a person holding Palestine and Sudan flags with the words “Gaza” and “Sudan” written on them was briefly on stage before being rushed and tackled by security.

Every senator and representative should be front and center and push through unofficial mercenary security guards that have no jurisdiction over the buildings they are blocking. No more diplomacy they are not following the law so neither should you. No more votes deny a quorum and shut it down

I was on Al Jazeera discussing how Trump has implicitly stated and acknowledged that Israel has conducted crimes against humanity. The more ppl emphasise how Gaza is inhospitable, the more they highlight Israeli war crimes.

Sadly, despite saying that every politician answers, Senator Markey…did not answer my question.

(sad face)

Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has been unleashed on federal agencies. ProPublica is attempting to document who is working with him and what they are doing.

NEW: President Donald Trump has given Elon Musk sweeping authority to overhaul the U.S. government bureaucracy and its operations around the globe.

ProPublica confirmed the identities and roles of more than 20 key people affiliated with Musk.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?

Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?

Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.

Very Trump like too.

Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

A staffer for Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency whose access to U.S. Treasury payment systems was approved by a federal judge on Thursday has links to a deleted social-media account that advocated for racism and eugenics. The 25-year-old employee, Marko Elez, resigned Thursday after The Wall Street Journal asked the White House about his connection to the account. The deleted profile associated with Elez, who was embedded in the Treasury Department to carry out efficiency measures, advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act and backed a "eugenic immigration policy" in the weeks before President Trump was inaugurated. "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity," the account wrote on X in September, according to a Wall Street Journal review of archived posts. "Normalize Indian hate," the account wrote the same month, in reference to a post noting the prevalence of people from India in Silicon Valley.

The account, @nullilptr-a misspelling of a keyword in the C++ programming language-was deleted in December, but hundreds of brash, sometimes-sophomoric posts have been archived. The user appeared to have a special dislike for Indian software engineers. "99% of Indian HlBs will be replaced by slightly smarter LLMs, they're going back don't worry guys," the user posted in December. "Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool," @nullliptr posted in July. In June, the user weighed in on the conflict in the Middle East, offering some sympathy for Israel but also posting, "I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth." The deleted @nullilptr account previously went by the username @marko_elez, a review of archived posts shows. The user behind the @nulliiptr also described themselves as an employee at SpaceX and Starlink.

Marko Elez is the first of Elon Musk's DOGE boys to resign after the Wall Street Journal uncovered racists posts including ones where he "advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act" & backed a "eugenic immigration policy"

Elez previously worked at SpaceX and currently works at X

Did Trump just accidentally reveal the true death toll in Gaza? This deficit would indicate that Israel has slaughtered at least 500,000 Palestinians in this genocide.

In October, 99 American doctors and nurses who worked in Gaza said the number was "greater than 118,908."

We need an immediate investigation into a private citizen and crew accessing our privately protected information by gaining access to the US treasury! Deny a quorum! No more business as usual!

new from me: Crypto pump and dump scammers hijacked Trump's posts on X via a bug

you can see it yourself. these posts still exist on Trump's official account on X

here's how they did it: https://www.disruptionist.com/p/crypto-scammers-hacked-trumps-tweets-via-bug

The following is a summary of the latest market moves as U.S. & European stock futures, Asian markets,& cryptocurrencies all fell significantly in Asian trading hours on Monday, following Trump’s new tariffs on Mexico, Canada,& China—initiating what the WSJ calls “the dumbest trade war in history.”

Eventually we’ll get around to America First but only after Musk settles some scores in South Africa
