Breaking News !! There have been 2 attempts to sabotage 'Handala' already. Despite having 24/7 watch, the rotors of the #Handala were tied up with rope! They've used divers to incapacitate the boat before. Then we were delivered a tank of ACID instead of water for our boat That water was for our showers and kitchen. It burned 2 crew members. It could have eroded pipes and even worse, burnt us all. We're now awaiting fresh water, causing a 2hr delay before we set sail to Gaza = Why is Israel afraid of a boat full of Baby Formula, Meds and Toys!?

Holy shit.

Christian Smalls reports there have been multiple sabotage attempts on the freedom flotilla ship Handala, including a tank of *acid* that was delivered to them instead of water for the showers and kitchen which burned two crew members.

"Jewish Democrats press Pentagon about Grok contract after antisemitic meltdown In a letter to Defense Secretary Hegseth, the lawmakers warned of ‘the risk to American national defense from using a compromised product subject to the whims of an unaccountable CEO’"

The US Defense Department using Musk's pro-Hitler AI to run important US defense operations is so much more serious of a concern about antisemitism in the US than anything that is happening on college campuses.

I cannot think of anything more compellingly negative to say about the capitalist class that they aren't saying loudly about themselves via their attempt to close ranks around Adams and Cuomo

Public education is public health.

"Public education has many virtues, the chief one being providing the tools of learning at no cost to families. But another of its traits is the way it breaks down homogeny, forcing children to be in a community with others unlike them."

this has one purpose: to rile up the people who already hate mamdani. and if greenblatt's rhetoric leads to actual violence against mamdani/his supporters/muslim new yorkers the way he falsely claims mamdani's views harm jewish new yorkers, greenblatt won't give a single solitary shit.

@DHSgov on X: Remember your Homeland’s Heritage. New Life in a New Land - Morgan Weistling [Painting of a family]

Nazi propaganda: "The Nazi Party secures the national community" [Painting of a German family]

On the left is a post today from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. On the right is literal Nazi propaganda from the 1930s.

Dozens of Palestinians killed in latest Israeli attacks near food aid distribution site, medics and witnesses say Witnesses describe people shot in head and torso near sites run by Israeli-backed US organisation Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse

It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible

US FDA suspends milk quality tests amid workforce cuts The Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for testing of fluid milk and other dairy products due to reduced capacity in its food safety and nutrition division, according to an internal email seen by Reuters.

The FDA is going to stop testing milk for pathogens like I DON'T KNOW, BIRD FLU????

These people are actively trying to kill us. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Everyone associated with trump is some sort of mutant nazi sex offender and those are just the ones you know about. Imagine the state of the ones they decide are actually too unnerving to be public-facing

This is a photo of Mahmoud Khalil (left) and his wife Dr. Noor Abdalla (right). They are holding hands and Mahmoud has his right hand raised in the air in a fist. The text at the top right corner says Mahmoud Khalil files claim seeking damages form harm caused by ICE arrest. There is a red ombre illustration at the bottom left corner.

Mahmoud Khalil today filed a claim detailing the harm he has suffered as a result of his politically motivated arrest and detention. The claim is a precursor to a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, which he will bring under the Federal Tort Claims Act.

Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Telling the Truth About the Supreme Court The task of interpreting the law is inherently “political.” But no justice has been this comfortable saying so in public.

I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump

Mahmoud Khalil files $20m claim against Trump administration for false imprisonment Precursor to a lawsuit also claims the Palestinian activist was maliciously prosecuted and smeared as an antisemite

The $1 Trillion Pentagon Budget Will Make Emissions Higher Than the Entire Country of Ethiopia By Patrick Bigger and Lorah Steichen

Trump's budget increases Pentagon's budget to $1 trillion. The Pentagon is already the biggest institutional consumer of fossil fuels on earth, and this budget will push its emissions to a level on par with Ethiopia. New analysis from me and Lorah Steichen at @cplusc.bsky.social

Give it a read, and plz subscribe:

it’s easy to just say “they’re conservatives” and be done with it, but my best read is that Sulzberger et al are in fact moderate Democrats who believe that the left is responsible for the rise of Trump, and they believe that beating the left back and defeating Trump are a singular project

Detainees being held at ‘Alligator Alcatraz' describe conditions at Everglades facility Florida still has not released the number of people being detained at what they call “Alligator Alcatraz” – but for the first time, we’re hearing from several men who are being held inside the facilit...

"They give you food only once a day, food that even has worms in it," Izquierdo said.

A likable person who has everyday people excited to meet him and vote for him because they make them hopeful about politics? No wonder the Democratic Party is trying to destroy him!

A blatantly nativist regime, working to remove legal status of immigrants to justify the state-terror apparatus of detention and expulsion

This is the worst possible framing of the past few months. It's fascism, a stacked court, a compliant and spineless Congress, an international mess on the economic side, and an illegal bombing. But sure, a "winning streak." @nytimes.com doing NY Times thing.

Not a good sign when the “paper of record” is worried about being scooped by a racist propagandist

trump’s big beautiful bill is designed to family annihilate the united states

Israel is blocking the entry of baby formula into Gaza. Why do you think that is? What is it about baby formula that’s so special, so important, that it ends up on Israel’s list of restrictions and confiscations? Is it a dual-use item? NO. So what is it then? What is it?

This line, like so many in that execrable book, perfectly captures Schumer: it uses too-awkward-to-be-true prose to make a too-reprehensible-to-be-believed point

ICYMI: @dnbrgr.bsky.social 's review of Chuck Schumer's Antisemitism in America is still live on our website.

100% For more on this check out @dnbrgr.bsky.social incisive review - he read it so we dont have too! spectrejournal.com/chuck-schume...

imagining a world where one of the only outlets able to hire journalists without relying on contractors, sub-$45k wages or both focused on the material conditions of the fascist state its readers live in as it ruins its safety net, instead of reporting someone's rejection from an Ivy as "news"

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

Taking this story from a Twitter troll white supremacist you keep anonymous should be scandalous even if there was some legitimate bombshell, but this is also just the most nothing story of all time. It’s not even kind of controversial. It’s pure right wing twitter bait.
