Year of Tha Boomerang

Best part is that Tulsi Gabbard didn't even come forward and publicly oppose anything Trump is doing. Clips from the last time she reported on Iran's lack of nuclear capabilities went viral online and that's all it took

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

A HAPPY UPDATE! Mahmoud Khalil was allowed a "contact" visit—without plexiglass divider—with his wife and newborn son this morning before his immigration hearing, ACLU tells me, so I think we can safely assume that he was finally able to hold his child for the first time.

Cis Americans, if you do one single thing today please let it be to contact your representative. You have no idea how many US trans people I follow who are freaked the fuck out

And for everyone else, if America does it, your country will use America as an example of how they can do it too. Speak up

“Nothing Can Justify It”: Journalist Gideon Levy Reacts to Killing of Israeli Embassy Staffers in D.C.

"Nothing Can Justify It": Journalist Gideon Levy Reacts to Killing of Israeli Embassy Staffers in D.C.

Israel may have launched a major ground operation into northern Gaza, specifically Beit Lahia. Poet Mosab Abu Toha says he’s hearing from families in Beit Lahia who are already surrounded by Israeli tanks.

Journalist Younis Tirawi shared the following earlier. ⬇️

Amazing to see the white genocide conspiracy theory become actual state policy.

This is just about as bad as it gets in terms of what it means for just about every other minority group connected to the conspiracy theory: Black people, Jews, and immigrants especially.

The dude who thinks autistic people won't be able to live fulfilling lives literally swims in shit

Aaaand there it is.

Ultimately, wherever you are thinking of fleeing to is almost 100% likely to be having its own struggles with maintaining its democracy.

Just keep that in mind: this struggle is so global that anywhere you go might not actually solve your problem.

It would be more like buying yourself time.

Notably, the WSJ Editorial Board—a notorious right-wing clown car—was capable of accurately describing Trump's failure and capitulation.

But @cnn.com—which claims it provides unbiased, objective journalism—had its Chief Domestic Correspondent publish blatant partisan lies as "news."

They care now that it's their privacy at stake. Hypocritical bastards.

Monopolies openly stating they don't need to complete.

I don't know what is funniest.

The fact that their Y axis goes to 120%, them not being able to sort the dates properly, or the approval rating that would make Kim Jong Un blush.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Headline: Police and Brooklyn College Protesters Clash After Pro-Palestinian Rally Actual facts: Officers punched and tased some students and slammed others to the ground.

See if you can spot the difference between the New York Times headline and the article's own description of what actually happened, which will be read by far fewer people.

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

IT'S HAPPENED #INDYCAR

Trump Administration Plans to Send Migrants to Libya on a Military Flight

feels in some ways a fitting capstone to the last few decades of US foreign policy wrt Libya

Don’t look away. This is what Libya’s migrant detention facilities look like. This is what Trump is doing.

Amnesty International called Libya’s migrant detention centers a “hellscape,” where beatings and sexual violence are rampant and there are many reports of trafficking and even slavery.

These headlines related to U.S. military aviation have all appeared in the last 11 days. There is a major problem at the Defense Department.

imagine being a four star general fired after Pete Hegseth questioned your job competence and opening up literally any national newspaper

Trump announced Alcatraz reopening hours after ‘Escape from Alcatraz’ aired on PBS The 1979 film starring Clint Eastwood about the daring 1962 escape attempt aired on the local PBS channel just six hours before the president made his demand that the prison be reopened

He watches a movie, and now it's all our problem. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

seems kind of weird that the vice president of the united states is openly supportive of german neo-nazis!

Big Media's resistance to just give the basic courtesy of credit to someone not in their presumed social class who broke a story first is absolutely pathological.

Fearing deportation, a beloved music teacher gives a final lesson Jesús Rodríguez, a Venezuelan national whose U.S. humanitarian parole status is set to expire soon, decided to voluntarily leave the United States out of worry of being detained.

“Mr. Rodríguez, we’re going to miss you,” a girl told the teacher after singing.

“I’m going to miss you, too,” he said, fighting back tears of his own.
