The Ditch x
@dropsitenews.com meetup

Chats with independent presidential candidate Catherine Connolly, Drop Site's Ryan Grim and The Ditch's senior hurlers

In this segment speculating what an Iranian nuclear strike would look like (clip from @halalflow.bsky.social) they briefly show an image of all the world’s nuclear states and include Israel on it. Somebody’s getting a phone call.

NYT confirming what @dropsitenews.com reported last week

Hamas and U.S. reach deal. “I think we'll have to detox from US security assistance,” says Netanyahu Hamas and the United States announced an agreement today that will lead to the freeing of Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, a dual American citizen, ahead of President Donald Trump’s trip to the region.

Drop Site News has investigated a claim by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel—that Rep. Debbie Dingell was the driving force behind her failed probes into University of Michigan student protesters. New story up from @ryangrim.bsky.social and Tom Perkins. (Link below)

From Drop Site’s Latest:“So far, Sharaa has not crossed paths with Trump, but that may soon change. Both leaders are expected to be in the Saudi capital of Riyadh next week, where Trump is arriving as part of a U.S. delegation expected to sign major trade, arms, and energy deals with Saudi leaders."

NEW: Trump Marveled at Houthi “Bravery.” Here’s Why.

The attack on Ben Gurion Airport, the downing of U.S. drones, and attacks on naval vessels show that the Houthi movement has remained resilient despite months of bombing.

5/ This is not chaos. It's a systematic campaign. As starvation tightens its grip -with no food allowed in for months-the bombs keep falling. Children are dying of hunger. And even as they waste away, they are bombed."

This is not a war. It is genocide under siege."

JUST IN | In a statement provided to Drop Site, Dr. Basem Naim, member of Hamas’s Political Bureau, said: 🧵

Just hours before his death, he posted a photo celebrating the birth of his daughter:“Our world has been brightened up by a little princess. Praise be to God who has honored us with the arrival of our precious daughter. May God make her one of the righteous offspring and delight our eyes with her.”

🔴 Journalist Killed Hours After Welcoming Newborn Daughter

Palestinian journalist Yahya Sobeih was among at least 25 people killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Wahda Street market in Gaza City.

NEW: Another Israeli strike hit a crowded market in central Gaza-reportedly during peak hours. Al Jazeera's Anas Al-Sharif shared the original footage showing many children were among those killed and injured at the scene.

Meanwhile the entirety of USAID's illicit imperialist regime changing activity just moved directly under the State Department.

This video got nuked in our Drop post despite being flagged as graphic, and Bluesky still marks it as graphic, making it disappear, unable to watch. Why offer the graphic flag option if it just blocks the video? I faded the video more to test if it still gets blocked.

BREAKING: 24 killed in Gaza since dawn. 25 trapped alive under rubble in Gaza City as drones keep firing.

➤ 6 killed in Khan Younis, incl. 2 boys aged 5 & 2.
➤ 10 dead in al-Mawasi tent strike—7 women/children.
➤ Hospitals near collapse. Food is nearly gone.

Hind Khoudary reports for Al Jazeera.

Drop Site’s Sharif Kouddous reports from Khiam in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military destroyed much of the town, including parts of its cemetery. The gravesite of Essam Abdallah, a Lebanese journalist who was killed on Oct. 13, 2023 in a targeted attack by Israel, has been badly damaged.

Drop Site’s Sharif Kouddous reports from the southern Lebanese village of Kfarkela, which is in ruins after Israeli troops withdrew on February 18. Every single structure has been completely destroyed or badly damaged. It is mostly just piles of rubble.

Explaining so much in inexplicable male behavior, weird dicks can fill all the holes that class theory has left uncovered in understanding society.

In other words, class theory + weird dicks theory = a theory of everything.

Isn't it ironic how the noble aid to decolonize Ukraine ended with the Ukrainian president enthusiastically giving away at least all of Ukraine's mineral wealth as payment for it?

That happens when you decolonize a country that has been decolonized since at least 1918.

Make a simpler face, boy. This celebrates the people who fought against a cruel, spiteful powerful enemy.

And you think you know better than them because you cucked to the enemy, and think that makes them less of an enemy.

In reality the US has never been worse to Cuba than now.

Bella ciao

See you there.

The Guardian’s Robert Mackey debunks Trump’s Press Secretary day 1 lie about U.S. planning to send $50 million to Gaza for condoms.

Relations with whites aside, Hindus hold their own racist supremacist attitudes towards other peoples, in rich families especially. Because, I think, India maintains remnants of caste system, as their social structure has never had a revolutionary overhaul, and castes naturally mix with xenophobia.

Fascism in Israel is so advanced that it has already reached the level of self-parody. Artifacts like signing a document that you agree not to smile or show signs of joy on your face are ready-made for anti-fascist comedy.

Journalist Max Blumenthal confronts Secretary of State Blinken during his farewell address to the State Department press corps:
“Why did you allow the Holocaust of our time to happen? How does it feel to have your legacy be genocide?”

@halalflow.bsky.social

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, speaking today at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington, D.C., shared a more detailed look at plans for post-war Gaza. We’ll be sharing more updates shortly. Stay tuned.
