“Israel killed more than 100 Palestinians in Gaza overnight in its deadliest assault since the start of the ceasefire.”

Journalist Minnah Arshad on how Israel never intended to honor its ceasefire: zeteo.com/p/gaza-massa...

With @ 7 million having rallied on the 18th & the govt about to starve ppl who depend on SNAP, a general strike becomes much more realistic. Follow this acct & learn more about how to prepare. ✊🏼

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight.

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats" subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Kyle Kulinski on Twitter posts an illustrated image, where Laura Loomer tells Hasan Piker "WE'RE DEPORTING YOU BACK TO TURKEY." In the drawing, Hasan Piker replies: "I was born in New Jersey." Laura Loomer replies to Kyle: "The left has no sense of humor."

On September 6, 2024, Laura Loomer posts a video, where she eats dog food. She writes on Twitter: "I just ate dog food. It's human grade. Which means you and your dog can share a taste, nutrient dense treat together. Order yours today at [link]" I post a screenshot of this tweet and write: "i setup a fake dog food company last month, bought purina at the pet store, and paid laura loomer $100 for this post."

not true

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter “story selection” to win over Reform voters.

We have been shadowbanned on this event and yet we are nearly sold out…come help us sell out and show your love and support for Palestine and Gaza.

Maria Ressa going on the Daily Show and being like, "we tried to warn you [colonizers] this shit you created is bad and self-destructive [but you never listen brown people and women]" is basically the story of "western civilization" in a nutshell

Quote from judge's response to 85-page complaint in Trump's lawsuit against The NY Times. "The complaint continues with allegations in defense of President Trumps father and the acquisition of the Trumps' wealth; with a protracted list of the many properties owned, developed, or managed by the Trump Organization and a list of President Trump's many books; with a long account of the history of "The Apprentice"; with an extensive list of President Trump's "media appearances"; with a detailed account of other legal actions both by and against President Trump, including an account of the "Russian Collusion Hoax" and incidents of alleged "law fare" against President Trump; and with much more, persistently alleged in abundant, florid and enervating detail."

I can't recommend highly enough that you read this coolly mocking letter from the judge about Trump's lawyers' 85-page-long (!) windup to their laughably flimsy lawsuit against the NYT. "Abundant, florid and enervating detail"! The whole letter is this good. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

On the same day in the Telegraph:

‘An extraordinary piece of writing and of historical research... lively, relevant, telling us so much about the world from which we are emerging, and what seems to be fracturing around us’
Rory Stewart, The Times

‘A rich and incisive new history of British Euroscepticism’ Economist

‘This really is superb. Well done @TomMcTague Recommended to Eurosceptics and Europhiles alike!’

With a raft of rave reviews, BETWEEN THE WAVES has just been Baillie Gifford Prize-longlisted:

‘Even the most passionate Remainer — or Leaver — should enjoy it enormously... lucid, thoughtful & richly provocative’
Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times

Dominic Sandbrook: Remainers and Leavers will enjoy this Brexit history In his richly provocative account, Between the Waves, Tom McTague shows that Britain’s relationship with Europe has been a ‘long, inglorious fudge’

“Lucid, thoughtful & richly provocative… [McTague] tells his story with such dry and fair-minded intelligence that even the most passionate Remainer or Leaver should enjoy it enormously.”

Delighted with @dcsandbrook’s review of my book, Between the Waves

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

Trump’s Right-Wing Socialism The president is embodying the type of big government that right-wing politicians and thinkers have been warning about for a century.

It's called fascism. Fascist regimes, like Mussolini's Italy, directly nationalized some businesses. American journalists need reminding that this isn't necessarily a 'socialist' thing. Articles like this don't help the public interpret what's happening in the US. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Scooby I am as white as a hotel towel, and the closest thing to Mexican I am was a single all inclusive resort stay in Cancun. I put a Mexican flag sticker on my old Tacoma abd was promptly pulled over by ICE in San Antonio. I'm happy to waste their time 1d RookaTX This is the way Scooby • RookaTX Their big question was like, "why the sticker" I told them it was on the truck when I bought it-and they suggested I remove it. Obnoxious creatures. 1d

The Israeli Assassination of Journalist Anas al-Sharif and Five Colleagues in Gaza City “We understand these are our last days.”

Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City.

"He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent."

It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...
