It's not widely known enough that the moment the UN formally recognized "genocide" as a phenomenon, Black Americans filed a petition charging the US with genocide against Black people. The conditions they describe have continued.

Nearly 700,000 displaced in Lebanon as Middle East crisis escalates On day 10 of the war engulfing the Middle East, UN agencies on Monday reported massive displacement across the region, along with surging food and fuel prices that risk increasing hunger and suffering for the most vulnerable.

news.un.org/en/story/202...

700,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon in 10 days. This is a historic, catastrophic level of displacement that essentially hasn't even made the news. We are numb to these atrocities.

Amazing how much damage one malignant narcissist can cause.

WSJ: “A WSJ investigation tracked U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive government campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.”

The Trump regime is cracking down on dissent. As authoritarians do.

He’s in favour of the war, his main problem with it is that the Republicans are doing it. He’ll get past that soon enough though!

The grasping of the pearls……smh…. Nothing new and certainly not shocking to this brown person. If you live with no knowledge of things like this, be glad. It exists and it’s people just like you.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Camp Guards sure seem to think it’s a death camp.

10/10 Ultimately, the "Dubai dream" is just a mirage.

It is a fake paradise built on dirty money, exploited labor, and the hypocrisy of Westerners who sold their morals for zero taxes.

Now that the missiles are falling, the illusion is finally shattering

9/10 Furthermore, Dubai is a staggering environmental disaster.

It is an unsustainable monument to hubris, an artificial playground built in a scorching desert that requires massive, ecologically devastating desalination and endless energy just to survive

8/10 Beyond its borders, the UAE plays dangerous geopolitical games.

They actively fund and arm paramilitary groups like the RSF, which is currently committing a brutal genocide in Sudan.

The blood of countless innocents is quite literally on their hands

6/10 We also need to talk about who actually built this "utopia."

Dubai is largely built on modern slavery.

They import desperate migrant workers, confiscate their passports, trap them in the system, and force them to labor in unbearable conditions

5/10 Let’s talk about the "freedom of speech warriors" who flocked to Dubai.

They claim to be the ultimate defenders of free expression, yet they voluntarily choose to live in an absolute monarchy with zero democracy where actual free speech will get you locked up

4/10 Then you have the Western expats.

They moved to Dubai specifically to dodge taxes and bypass their home countries' regulations.

Now that missiles are flying, they delusionally expect those same countries to send planes to evacuate them.

The hypocrisy is staggering

3/10 Spoiler: Everything is not under control.

No matter how well your air defenses are working, you cannot claim "everything is fine" when ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones are smashing into your luxury hotels.

It’s a pathetic lie

2/10 Right now, the UAE is running a pathetic paid propaganda campaign.

They have enlisted some of the worst internet grifters, including Andrew Tate, to desperately pump out the message that "everything is under control" while the region is literally at war

1/10 If the last few days of Iranian strikes on Dubai have proven anything, it’s that a massive number of people completely despise the city and those living there.

And honestly? There are very good reasons to despise them.

A thread on the city of hypocrites 🧵👇

Targeting desalination plants is an incredible double edged sword. Iran is extremely vulnerable, but so are the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council. If pushed to the brink, Iran could easily depopulate much of the region. Iran already struck Israel’s largest desalination plant three days ago.

I'm out of words here

This video shows real smoke over Tehran from Israeli strikes on oil depots & fuel facilities last night—confirmed by NYT, AP, Al Jazeera, Times of Israel. Black clouds from burning hydrocarbons—not normal sunrise.

The horror of life in America.

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Update: Sarah Afzul, the woman's sister, told me that Naqvi has been released from a detention facility in Wisconsin, where she was transferred overnight and they've been reunited with her

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon

At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me

They’re never “just asking questions”

thing is, Joe Rogan has always been homophobic in his act, on his podcast, and on social media and when he started talking about trans people around 2012 he was simply too stupid to articulate why he hated them because nobody had armed him with the justifications yet. He was already eager for them.

Considering the source has continually platformed NAZIS and Pedophiles, not surprised. #I’veShatSmarterThingsThanJoeRogan
