The Gaza Genocide Is a Test for American Democracy The public overwhelmingly opposes the genocide, but the political elites help keep it going. Something has to give.

"The American public did not need to wait for the recent soul-crushing photographs of starving children to decide they were against this abomination. They figured that out nearly 18 months ago." @jeetheer.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Everyone knows it's genocide!

It's staggering how comfortable Trump is being this racist on national TV. Because he knows at this point there's just no cost for doing so. His supporters knew who he was and this is what they voted for.

PMO: Benjamin Netanyahu decides full IDF occupation of Gaza | The Jerusalem Post The Prime Minister's Office conveyed the message to the Chief of Staff: If this does not suit you, then you should resign.

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan.

And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.

We have the ability to help them, but politicians stand in the way

I always ask migrants kids where they want to go and what they want to be. It’s so sad what politicians have done to these children’s dreams

I've been tracking the quid pro quo between Trump and the cryptocurrency industry at www.followthecrypto.org/quidproquo

The article only mentions Crypto​.com's $10 million contribution to Trump's super PAC, but doesn't mention that after Trump took office, the SEC dropped their lawsuit against the company. His Truth Social company is now partnering with them to sell crypto ETFs.

A scale that no one has ever seen before

Sweaty, stinky old fool

This is how Trump plans to steal the 2026 midterms and avoid the third impeachment his crimes have so urgently warranted

The Blueprint for ICE's Future Is Being Drawn in the West Bank | Opinion The treatment of Palestinians provides a chilling blueprint for the future of ICE here in America.

How Kash Patel Was Duped Trump’s lickspittle FBI director fell for obviously fake Russian documents. So much for Wizard Kashs’s “smoking gun.”

Remember that Kash Patel is so obsessed with the idea that Russiagate was a hoax that he wrote an actual children's book in which "Wizard Kash" thwarts a plot by "Hillary Queenton" to unseat good "King Donald" by accusing him of "working with the Russionians."

No wonder he was so easily fooled.

Questions we wish the media would ask Republicans, over and over

Perplexity accused of scraping websites that explicitly blocked AI scraping | TechCrunch Internet giant Cloudflare says it detected Perplexity crawling and scraping websites, even after customers had added technical blocks telling Perplexity not to scrape their pages.

NEW: CloudFlare says it detected Perplexity scraping and crawling websites that explicitly block it from scraping them.

Based on customers' complaints and its own experiments, the company says Perplexity is using "stealth" bots and changing its bots "user agent" to circumvent restrictions.

The Trump Administration’s Campaign to Undermine the Next Election The executive branch is interfering in U.S. elections in unprecedented ways.

Connecting the dots, our new resource shows the scope and impact of the current administration’s unprecedented attempts to undermine the country’s elections — threatening the 2026 midterms. Learn more: bit.ly/4l1lUPP

US links $1.9 billion in state disaster funds to Israel boycott stance The Trump administration said states and cities will not receive funding to prepare for natural disasters if they choose to boycott Israeli companies, according to an agency statement.

>The Federal Emergency Management Agency stated in grant notices posted on Friday that states must follow its "terms and conditions." Those conditions require they certify they will not sever “commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies” to qualify for funding.

This is the full weaponization of intelligence AND law enforcement. One of the most autocratic actions the Trump administration has taken. A true sign of authoritarianism. Gabbard cooked up a phony intelligence report to create a sham investigation. They want Soviet-like show trials of Trump foes.

Defend your freedom, abolish ICE!

The U.S. has sought deals with 64 nations to participate in its growing global gulag. 58 of them — 91 percent — were rebuked for human rights violations in the State Department’s most recent human rights reports

This is the Harvard-educated, GOP congresswoman Maria Salazar of Florida.
She wants to make sure the Epstein files stay sealed as a favor to her leader, Donald Trump.
Never forget that Ms. Salazar cares more about protecting accused pedophiles and child rapists than their victims.
