“We’re Too Close to the Debris”: How SpaceX Rockets Put Passenger Planes at Risk The FAA predicted Elon Musk’s Starship would cause “minor or minimal” disruption. Then the rockets exploded twice in three months over busy airspace. Flight data reveals how many planes scrambled to p...

Documents, recordings and interviews reveal that, by authorizing SpaceX to test its rockets over busy airspace, the FAA accepted the inherent risk that the launches might put plane passengers in danger.

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are experiencing the highest rates of settler and state violence in recent history, as the Israeli government enacts new policies to accelerate the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and apartheid.

The fake anti-war grifter Tucker Carlson is at Trump's meeting with oil ceos. The meeting where they'll discuss how to proceed stealing Venezuela's oil and profiting off of it for the billionaire class.

Big Oil spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024.

Now Trump is returning the favor, giving them advance notice of his Venezuela attack and inviting them to the White House to discuss how they will divvy up control of the country's oil.

Oligarchy in action.

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

JD Vance tweet: JD Vance @JDVance What the press has done in lying about this innocent law enforcement officer is disgusting. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. With embedded video showing the ICE terrorist murdering Renee Goode in cold blood and then sneering "Fuckin' bitch."

Acyn tweet with video of Trump, text: "Trump on Greenland: If we do not do it the easy way, we will do it the hard way. By the way, I am a fan of Denmark. The fact they had a boat land there 500 years ago does not mean they own the land. We will be doing something with Greenland—the nice way, or the more difficult way" https://x.com/Acyn/status/2009735617861869707

Things Nazis say when they're confident there will never be Nuremberg Trials in the United States:

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Black graphic that reads "ICE Out For Good". Underneath the text is an image of two signs reads "No ICE in our City" or "No ICE!" Underneath the images it reads "Take to the streets to protest ICE in our communities this weekend in over 1,000 rallies across the nation."

Enough is enough: ICE agents do not belong in our communities.

The Trump administration is putting extreme restrictions to Head Start programs, including preventing the use of words like “woman,” “disability,” and “race” when applying for grants.

We're taking President Trump to court to protect this critical program.

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

if elected president i promise to be just as corrupt as our current leadership, perhaps even moreso. but I will also reinvest the entire defense and policing budgets into creating what i call The Health Cigarette

How Israel forcibly reshaped the West Bank since October 2023 The rapid increase in illegal Israeli settlement construction is the most significant change witnessed in the occupied West Bank over the past two years.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

Israel’s Crimes Against the Dead and Unborn in Gaza The tomb and womb, once tranquil places, have become another battlefield in Gaza.

Israel’s massive bombing and destructive ground operations for 23 months have injured and killed thousands of women, some of them pregnant, who lost their babies. www.currentaffairs.org/news/israels...

Fascism thrives on ignorance.

That is why they don’t want you to read history.

Because if you did, you’d see that this all happened before.

Standing Together heute am Ben Gurion Flughafen in Tel Aviv. Protest gegen den Genozid in Gaza.

Dr Yael Harrari, a graduating medical student at Tel Aviv University, protested Israel’s war on Gaza at her commencement by wearing a T-shirt reading: “Do no genocide."

this is good but a better idea would be to have a required class where you work in the cafeteria for a semester

"Mamdani’s win suggests an unabashed, fighting left politics can gain the support of those hungry for an alternative to both MAGA and feckless Democrats, one that will directly take on Trump’s far-right, authoritarian rule."

On Grief and Surviving Alone in Gaza My 14-year-old niece Noor was the only survivor after an Israeli airstrike. I want the world to remember who we lost.

"No words can describe the pain of being the sole surviving family member."

I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally

🚨 Zainab Ahmed Muhammad Abu Hlaib, starved to death under the U.S.-Israeli siege, was brought lifeless to Nasser Hospital an hour ago.

Gaza hospitals recorded 9 new deaths from starvation in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 122, including over 80 children.

Zohran Mamdani and Mahmoud Khalil Are In on the Joke What it feels like to laugh when the world expects you to disappear.

At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

HOLY CRAP!! A QAnon account with 55k followers on TS posted this video. Dems can’t take their foot off the gas with this. This will tear his base apart.

"The issue of government has always been whether individual men and women will have to serve some system of government and economics, or whether a system of government and economics exists to serve individual men and women." 

—FDR, 1932

Why does Kristi Noem still have a job?

You elect a sexual predator whose closest friend was a child rapist and you doubted he was in on the action? Now you’re surprised that he doesn’t want any new evidence of his involvement to get out? Really?

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

This may seem trivial with no much worse going on nowadays, but I consider a major potential milestone in the fight for consumer protection.

This kind of activism can result in better #rightToRepair laws and others that protect us or the planet

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.
