I’m gonna be 1000% as real as I can concerning Gayle King — I have never liked her and I could never tell you why beyond “proximity to Oprah” and while I **know** that’s completely irrational and would chastise others for this line of thought, I do feel internally justified/vindicated.

University of Michigan using undercover investigators to surveil student Gaza protesters Revealed: security trailing students on and off campus as video shows investigator faking disability when confronted

This is what @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social is endorsing.

Wow! @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social endorsing Jordan Acker is crazy. Acker is a current member of the Board of Regents at UMich. The Board hired private investigators to stalk students, faculty, and alumni over their anti-apartheid stand. One PI pretended to be disabled when discovered.

NEW: U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow has endorsed Jordan Acker, a vocally pro-Israel candidate, for re-election to the University of Michigan Board of Regents.

This endorsement comes after years of Regent Acker persecuting anti-genocide student protestors in that very same role.

Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

I got paid lol. Its not 7k a post but i def get paid for every Israel mention. Even the troll posts are paid....

There you go. First person I’ve seen confirm firsthand they have been paid to do social media hasbara for Israel.

“Even the troll posts are paid.”

I feel a lot of these cartoon avatar Crockett diehards are bots.

I know this is very funny but also pretty striking that our government lies about literally everything, including stuff that's easy to prove.

Any Dem who ever sits down to make a deal across the aisle with this captured Congress, you're a dope.

Congressman Faces Questions About Wife’s Social Media Stances on Israel

Dan Goldman's wife, who is also his campaign treasurer, reposted at least half a dozen racist tweets on Twitter which denigrated Palestinians and Jews who sympathize with them. In one post, EndWokeness said "Jews for Palestine" are like "Chickens for KFC".

Goldman says he doesn't share those views.

1 Inquiry for New York Times Good afternoon, My name is [REDACTED] and l am a reporter for the New York Times. I am researching how much money the Palestinian diaspora community has sent to support Gazan families since the war in Gaza began. Does your team track this figure? I really appreciate it. With gratitude, [REDACTED]

Palestine Diaspora Movement Hello [REDACTED] We do not collaborate with The New York Times. Your email asks about money sent to Gazan families "since the war in Gaza began." Let us first correct the premise. This is not a war. It is a genocide. Calling it a war is part of the problem. It obscures the reality of a colonized people being massacred by a military machine backed by the United States and defended, sanitized, and rhetorically softened by institutions like yours. The New York Times has spent far too long parroting Zionist propaganda and laundering Israeli state narratives while Palestinians bury their dead. That kind of coverage does not merely misinform. It helps create the political climate in which Palestinian slaughter becomes explainable, defensible, and forgettable. So no, we will not be sharing any figures, internal data, or community information with a paper that has so thoroughly damaged its credibility on Palestine. Quite frankly, we would rather chew jeans than help The New York Times extract from our community while continuing to fail it. Do not contact us again for this purpose, The Palestine Diaspora Movement Team

lmaooo GET EM

Did anyone actually look at this video? After the helicopter is struck...it's still there. It's clearly a decoy. The IDF and US wasting drones and missiles and releasing the footage of their error is such a self own.

Tell me again why the government has no money for healthcare.

These folk are being disingenuous at best. It's the ableist version of pink washing.

AI does have potential for good use, but not Claude. Not ChatGPT. Not these LLM's built on stolen IP. And they know that. And I'm saying that as someone who ALSO does accessibility work.

Four House Dems publicly oppose the Iran war powers resolution: Reps. Josh Gottheimer, Greg Landsman, Jared Moskowitz, and Tom Suozzi.

The four have received $1.5 million in donations from AIPAC PAC this cycle alone, and more than $1.8 million from the group before...

BREAKING: U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Caine says the U.S. "will now begin to expand inland, striking progressively deeper into Iranian territory."

A comedian I follow said recently that an AI company offered his podcast a six figure deal to hawk their wares. They declined. ANY show pushing Claude should have their hosts and platformed ridiculed into dust.

Tehran today, under Israeli bombardment. According to Iranian monarchists in exile, only regime supporters are killed in these indiscriminate bombings...

"Watch in the news the disparity between Palestinians being killed and Israelis being killed. It is totally unfair.

This country's going to stand on the side of apartheid because that's its track record.

It stood by apartheid in South Africa because it created apartheid in this country."

Schumer manufacturing consent for a... What the fuck? Nuclear war...? Can't even fucking tell what this subhuman filth is suggesting.

"No one wants nuclear war, but we definitely don't want an endless war."

Reporters laughing about him saying "nuclear Israel" honestly Americans y'all really suck.

A white Ford Transit van that is labeled "Midwest Plumbing". This is not a real company.

We saw an uptick in ICE activity today.

ICE continues to be spotted around the metro area - dining, driving, and hiding in between events.

Current vehicles on the short list include Black Chevrolet Tahoes, White or Silver Jeep Wagoneers, and White Ford Transit vans with fake branding.

Can someone write about the rise of Black social gospel movement Christianity in American politics? Should it be me?

Cuz yall know everyone is obsessed with talking about white right wing evangelicals

By doing this, Paxton is hurting urban GOP voters who are more friendly to Cornyn, but he is also hurting Black voters in the Democratic primary.

This is a preview of the sorts of things you may expect him to try to do in a general election.

Justice Democrat Pastor Haynes win tx-30 primary

Justice Democrat Pastor Frederick Douglass Haynes III just won our first primary of the cycle in #TX30!

Working people have a new champion for freedom and justice in Texas.

We couldn’t be prouder that he's joining our team of fighters to build power for working people in Congress.

This is who will replace Crockett in the House

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

He also didn’t tell us Latinos that we have a slave mentality.

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

oh man you KNOW when these folks propose something it's going to be pure dogshit

Former US Sergeant Jonathan Estridge opens up about losing his job over his posts on Palestine, and what the experience meant for him.
