Did you know that daily Whitehouse briefings for Trump have to be presented to him on video on a tv screen in a specially-made "Fox News" format so he can understand? Otherwise, it won't grab his interest. He does not read or listen to normal briefings.
This is the "leader of the free world".

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

If you think Owen Jones has been "the strongest pro-Palestine voice in the past 22 months", you really need to broaden your horizons. There are way better journalists out there (who never slagged off Corbyn during the fake "antisemitism" slurs).
Try Matt Kennard, Caitlin Johnstone or Craig Murray.

They never scream about this, they never riot about this.

Microsoft storing Israeli intelligence trove used to attack Palestinians Microsoft developed a customized version of its cloud platform for Israelโ€™s Unit 8200, which is housing audio files of millions of calls by Palestinians.

The Israeli army realised in 2021 it didn't have the data storage capacity to spy on, and record, every phone call made by Palestinians. So it turned to Microsoft for help.

Watching the UK public react to age verification there feels a lot like rewatching them realize what Brexit actually was.

Yes, the leopards are going to eat your face

We don't have to push children into poverty.

We don't have to make life harder for the sick and disabled.

We don't have to aid and abet genocide.

For too long, people have been denied a real political choice. Not anymore.

No taxpayer-funded job for ex-Sun editor No taxpayer-funded job for ex-Sun editor

Any one of the charges here against the former Sun editor should stop Keir Starmer appointing David Dinsmore.

When you look at them all together - it's an absolute outrage.

๐ŸšจHoly shit. How is this not a much bigger story??

Border Patrol agents mock and harass an 18-year-old U.S. citizen.

Tell him he has no rights.

Laugh about the bonus theyโ€™re going to get for deporting him?

AND say theyโ€™re going to have to start shooting those they detain.

BREAKING: In an unbelievable moment, JD Vance says that "Trump has nothing to hide," and calls him "an advocate for full transparency," despite his refusal to release the Epstein files, and his lies about not being briefed by Bondi.

Zero transparency.
