In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape.

“In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian”

According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile sexual assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape, writes Minnah Arshad for Zeteo:

Italian journalist Lorenzo D’Agostino describes Greta Thunberg wrapped in an Israeli flag “like a war trophy,” mocked, beaten & humiliated. Ben Gvir oversaw detainees treated “as terrorists.” Read his account of what happened after activists were illegally detained on the Global Sumud Flotilla ⬇️

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman laughing at Van Jones’ “dead Gaza baby” joke.

For those lucky enough to not know this is a neo-Nazi meme normally found on TRS and the Daily Stormer being shared by the official DHS account.

“How drunk are you?” “Hell, how do I know?” Wolfe’s brow lifted. “Gentlemen?” Farrell said, “Mike’s all right. Forget him. He’s all right.” Julius Adler the lawyer, about the build of a lead-pencil stub, looking like a necktie clerk except for his eyes and the way he was dressed, put in, “I would say yes. We realize that this is your house, Mr. Wolfe, and that Mr. Ayers is lit, but after all we don’t suppose that you invited us here to censor our private habits. You have something to say to us?”

“You could have phoned him last night.” “I could not. I got lit last night. This is the first job I’ve had in a month.” “Got any expense money left?” “Enough for a couple of days. I’ve learned self-control.”

i never realized that "getting lit", as in getting drunk, dates back at least to the 1930s

Today the @theglobeandmail.com editorial board endorsed Israeli's decision to occupy Gaza 🤦

Back then they were called Palestine Jews, not lsraelis. Israel is a made up colony as illegitimate as the gen*cide they are carrying out today.

Opinion | Elon Musk’s Legacy: DOGE’s Construction of a Surveillance State (Gift Article) DOGE is rapidly assembling a sprawling monitoring system, the foundation of many authoritarian regimes.

Elon Musk may or may not fulfill his promise to step back from DOGE.

But his legacy is already clear: He is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system — the likes of which we have never seen in the United States.

Capitalism didn't give us the internet.

Large-scale cooperation, open protocols, and free software gave us the internet. Capitalism gave us mobile sites that don't work because fifteen ads cover the screen.

Seems a good time to point out that the Jewish National Fund has planted 240 million trees in Israel since the 1960s as a way to erase ethnically cleansed Palestinian villages, and block Bedouin communities.

The majority of trees planted are Aleppo pines, which have turned Israel into a tinder box

NEW EO 🧵

Within 90 days, the AG and the SecDef, in consultation with the Sec of Homeland Sec and the heads of agencies as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State and local law enforcement

Only Israel could shoot 15 paramedics, bury them in mass graves, crush their ambulances, lie about the incident, and then describe the whole thing as a "misunderstanding."

"Flood the zone" is aimed exactly at this capacity.

The Palestinian girl, an aspiring journalist, who had previously expressed admiration for Hossam Shabat in a viral clip, was interviewed once again today by @sahatenglish.bsky.social She reflects on the profound impact Hossam had on her.

I've seen this before.

State Department plan to deport ‘pro-Hamas’ students relies on a 1952 law that targeted Jews Jewish Holocaust survivors suspected of being Soviet sympathizers were subject to the 1952 McCarran-Walter Act.

This is what it means when Khalil said that Jewish and Palestinian safety are bound up with one another.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Mauna Loa Observatory’s Lease May End Because of NOAA Cuts NOAA, the nation’s leading climate science agency, may lose dozens of offices, including one that is key to the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii.

Shutting down Mauna Loa CO₂ observations while atmospheric CO₂ keeps skyrocketing is like turning off a fire alarm because you don’t like the noise

It’s not a debate anymore. They’re saying it out loud. If you criticize Israel, the government will come for you, and if you’re foreign, the government will deport you for your criticism of Israel. The First Amendment, it seems, does not protect criticism of Israel or support for Palestine.

They're defying court orders and carrying out mass deportations.

You beat fascism by making common cause with everyone who is not a fascist and not a collaborator, but that second part is critical. It’s a non-ideological coalition in which we don’t have to agree about anything except the need to fight.

The unfortunate reality is that neither is sufficient. Improving trade w/ both EU & CANZUK + increased trade with Asia likely fails to offset the dependency Canada has as unofficial resource colony of the USA. Canada likely needs an all of the above approach to avoid a collapse via debt spiral.

***Taps the sign again.

It's a real catastrophe for the Western left that so many people let themselves be convinced the Maidan was a CIA ruse.

people were melting police tanks to the street with Molotov catapults built into their Ice Fortress. you call yourself an anarchist and don't find that hot as fuck?
