Trump’s Gaza “Food Centers” Miss the Real Problem: Israel’s Aid Blockade As with many of Trump’s proposals, it’s unclear how serious he is about his vague call for further U.S. involvement in Gaza food aid.

“Nothing new needs to get done. It’s a simple but not easy solution: Stop the bombing, open up the gates, and let the people who know how to do it, do it.”

The Center does not exist Getting rid of the lies of moderation

The mythical center in politics doesn’t really exist. There are hardly any of the perfectly centrist voters that certain pundits try to sell us. We should all understand this lie, and understand that the status quo relies on people catering to this fake position.

Lol it’s just this again and again

Set your phone to black and white This title is literal.

Changing your phone display to black and white might seem minor. But the tech oligarchs are drawing us into our devices, trying to make us think the world in our palms that’s more vibrant than the world outside. All the while they’re taking over the outside world.

Hispanic journalist in Atlanta detained by ICE speaks out Mario Guevara tells the AJC about his month behind bars, and his once positive feelings toward Donald Trump.

“I’m plainly convinced that my situation in this ICE jail is direct retaliation for my coverage,” Mario Guevara told @ajc.com in an exclusive interview from the Folkston, Georgia ICE detention center where he is currently detained, despite a judge's bail order. “I haven’t committed any crimes.”

Epstein's Island and Frankenstein's Monster Maybe this MAGA civil war is real

The Epstein story isn’t just about Trump’s relationship to a child sex trafficker. It’s a story about cultivating a base that runs on emotion and conspiracy, and about how millions of Trump voters might’ve just hit the limits of what they can tolerate.

Trump Plans to Hand Taxpayer Data to Homeland Security to Speed Up Deportations The system, which would enable sharing of massive amounts of sensitive data, may be launched before the end of July.

The IRS is building a program that would give ICE officers unprecedented access to confidential tax data. @ProPublica.org has obtained a blueprint of the system, which would create an “on demand” process allowing ICE to obtain the home addresses of people it’s seeking to deport.

Hahahah

I wrote about covering the aftermath of the immigration raids in Venture County this week. Most of what’s on my mind in this piece is dark and angry—none of this should be normal. A man shouldn’t have died running for his life

Thru all this, the community care in the county was a sight to behold.

This is Rowling-level brain rot. I wish someone would write a feature listing all of the Nazi billionaire-whisperers.

A local NYC baseball coach says he fended off ICE agents during a recent practice.

Youman Wilder said caught feds questioning youth about where they're from & country of origin, so, he told feds to back off & kids to not answer!

Shoutout all of our local heroes!

The Empire isn't Dying, it's being Killed Living through the decline and fall of an empire being destroyed from within

Flooding, horrific bills in Congress, the rhythms of a dying empire are so clear right now. Our task is to not simply allow the decline to feel normal, but to transform our lives into real sites of resistance.

A guy named Tim should open a ramen place called Tim’s New Ramen

What they're going to do to immigrants is horrendous enough, but this should be understood more broadly. They've just built a police state that is larger than most country's militaries. The DOJ said de-naturalization is its priority. ICE doesn't need warrants. This is Trump's secret police force.
