External journalists aren’t allowed into Gaza and the entire @aljazeera.com team in Gaza has been murdered by Israel with the killing of Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal today

Every day they try to hide the truth of the genocide they are committing

israel murders people making the most moving statements about our shared humanity and desire for freedom and then laughs about it, in public, while everyone watches, gleeful in utter depravity and sadism

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

Deadwood is significantly better than all the shows from the OP. I don’t think this is even a hot take. Every episode is Art, and appropriate comps are literally Shakespeare and that’s about it—not even just for the dialogue. It’s also aged like fine wine, unlike a lot of the OP shows

Elsewhere in the interview, Dr Maynard claimed Israeli soldiers are shooting civilians at aid points "almost like a game of target practice".

The IDF said it "categorically rejected" claims of "intentional harm to civilians, particularly in the manner described".

Dr Maynard claimed he has operated on boys as young as 11 who had been "shot at food distribution points" run by the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

"They had gone to get food for their starving families and they were shot," he said.

"I operated on one 12-year-old boy who died on the operating table because his injuries were so severe."

A British surgeon returned from Gaza says Israeli soldiers were shooting at aid-seekers “almost like a game of target practice".

He also said formula doctors had packed to bring with them was the only item confiscated by Israeli authorities before entry.

Formula.

The bare minimum businesses must do is if they see ICE, lock the damn doors. Home Depot allowed those who wanted to leave to leave, but made sure to close and lock to protect everyone else inside.

Elon tweaking Grok to immerse in right wing sources and it immediately going full Nazi is about as illustrative of what that media ecosphere is doing to your parents and your kids as it's ever gonna get.

Someone should probably do something.

Elon Musk's Grok Chatbot Goes Full Nazi, Calls Itself 'MechaHitler' Elon Musk's Grok chatbot has unleashed a slew of antisemitic commentary and praised Hitler after apparent change allowed to be 'politically incorrect'

xAI has disabled Grok, deleted a slew of its antisemitic and neo-Nazi posts, posted a statement, and are evidently rolling back the prompt that made it identify as "MechaHitler," but this new low for Elon Musk's chatbot will live in internet infamy:

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

You may be thinking "How can an entire political party be organized around the policy of taking from everyone and giving to the rich? No one would vote for them." Well that's where Lying comes in

These politicians don’t care if Americans die due to the lack of healthcare or food benefits they’re cutting. They know. They simply don’t care.

They have been funding and cheering on a genocide for nearly two years.

They are ok with working class Americans dying.

Today in my feed I’ve seen conservatives argue that poor people must be kept poor to incentivize them to contribute to society, and that rich people must be given more money to achieve the same goal. Funny, that.
