Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Donate to Bring Hayam and her children back home!, organized by Alisha OLIVARES We, as members of the Colorado Springs community, urgently seek your support … Alisha OLIVARES needs your support for Bring Hayam and her children back home!

Yesterday marked eight months of detention for Hayam El Gamal and her five children—ages 18, 16, 9, and 5-year-old twins—who are being detained at an immigration facility in Dilley, Texas.

The kids have begun skipping meals out of depression. The 9 year old says she wishes she was dead.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.

She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.

Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

The Washington Post Is No Longer Useful to Jeff Bezos In a kleptocracy, there is no reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet.

There is zero reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet in a kleptocracy. And so billionaires are gutting the media companies they own, reorienting them to better align with the regime, and spending money on bribes rather than journalists

The Russian/Israeli nexus is dramatically underreported.

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?

That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

That there so GD many cowardly men who seek out jobs and situations to behave in this way, is yet another signal of the fundamental failure of a large swath of our society. That there are so many courageous women who routinely stand up to such men, is hopeful beyond measure.

Yes, It’s Fascism Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse."

I will just say that in my review of the first criminal complaint files over the weekend, there were *dozens* of instances in which the names, initials, high schools, and locations of victims' parents' homes were not redacted.

It's another victimization, and it's deplorable.

well then it hasn’t been a very successful one

"Trump is just doing what Obama did, & no one complained back then!" Given that this is a central talking point MAGA is using to reach people outside their hardcore base, it would be useful if a proper journalistic outlet addressed this comparison in an evidence-based way. I haven't seen one yet.

think of all the college students who were disciplined or expelled for protesting genocide

I think rural, perhaps gun-toting, conservative doesn't like the idea that flash trained government thugs can make up cause, escalate things, pin you down, clearly disarm you, and execute you in the street before driving off into the mid-day with full gov't support as much as online fascists do.

Donald Trump sharp as a tack

the government is gassing our children.

Danish intelligence classifies Trump’s America as a security risk Denmark sounds the alarm about the U.S.’s increasingly antagonistic posture toward Europe.

That headline alone should make everyone pause. When a close ally starts calling the U.S. a security risk, something is seriously off the rails. Alliances run on trust - and once that cracks, everyone gets weaker. #NATO #NationalSecurity #Geopolitics

HIDING cover

My book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT was published in 2020. It has the Trump/Epstein court files in it and a history of their joint transnational mafia ties. For five years, I have heard from former Trump voters who said this book -- specifically the Epstein documents -- changed their minds about him.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

Children. Kids.

It is impossible to read this stuff without it utterly breaking your heart.

And all these grown adults, elected & appointed, so many moments intervention could have helped, straight through from then until now, have done nothing but let these 1000+ little girls suffer for decades.
