The military officer who leaked the video of IDF soldiers raping a Palestinian kidnapped by the army and held without trial has gone missing after she was coerced into resigning for doing her job

Ryan Grim @ryangrim Follow .. ° We interviewed @grahamformaine today and he has a book recommendation: Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire, by @katzonearth (Jonathan Katz) It's about a Marine General who oversaw some of the worst imperial war crimes of the pre-WWII era and then became a ferocious critic of American militarism, writing the influential book "War Is A Racket." Graham also said Butler is "a hero" of his for spoiling the fascist plot to overthrow FDR, which Katz didn't get into in any detail in the book, which suggests Platner has read widely on Butler. It's not a widely known historical moment. I asked him about his disturbing Reddit

Graham also said Butler is "a hero" of his for spoiling the fascist plot to overthrow FDR, which Katz didn't get into in any detail in the book, which suggests Platner has read widely on Butler. It's not a widely known historical moment. I asked him about his disturbing Reddit comment in which he said he found some enjoyment or exhilaration in combat, and he walked through his feelings on that today, contextualizing his own journey with Butler's. He said that we as a society need to be aware that there will always be young men and women looking for an adventure and a sense of purpose and eagerly signing up for war, and that's why it's so important to stop wars in the first place. 3:14 PM • Oct 31, 2025 • 50.6K Views

Somehow a movie filmed last year nailed this.

Watch out for Ea Nasir this Halloween!

I’ve said this before but white guilt is useless. I don’t want people to feel guilty for things they had no part in, and guilt easily curdles into resentment. But everyone regardless should feel an obligation to correct injustice, especially if you somehow benefit. bsky.app/profile/mich...

Mapped: The Ad Agencies Behind a French Oil Giant’s Ill-Fated Rebrand A ruling that TotalEnergies misled consumers with inflated climate claims is the first court judgment against the fossil fuel industry’s net zero narrative.

⚖️ A Paris court has ruled that TotalEnergies misled consumers with inflated climate claims – the first court judgment to take on Big Oil’s net zero spin.

@DeSmog.com has mapped the nine ad agencies behind the rebrand.

Here’s what they actually thought: they’ll just go after the left wing Bad Jews (who aren’t really Jews so it’s ok) but we’re the Good Jews so it will be fine. joelhs.bsky.social/post/3m4gzansohs2a

Tweet from John Podhoretz reading: "My mother was a Heritage board member for 40 years. You have befouled her, you rancid wretch of an amoeba." quoting Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, tweeting: "There has been speculation that @Heritage is distancing itself from @TuckerCarlson over the past 24 hours. I want to put that to rest right now—here are my thoughts:"

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

The 5 things I will miss most about New York when I move back to the suburbs next week.

by Andrew Cuomo

Following the documented rape of a Palestinian prisoner in Sde Teyman, the military prosecutor ordered the arrest of the soldiers involved.
There was govt-supported riots trying to prevent their arrest. In response, she leaked the video evidence.
Now she has been removed by the Israeli govt.

i think about viser openly posting this

Another thing that really slammed democrats is that rurals now vote more or less homogenously while there is still pretty significant regional variance in cities and suburbs, with democrats still lagging behind in a lot of mid tier cities and suburbs

Trump is trying to make sure his most devoted and dangerous followers are free to help him the next time he needs them.

As Syrians, we have always felt the pain of others. It is our moral and humanitarian duty to stand with the Sudanese people, who are facing a horrific massacre at the hands of the criminal Rapid Support Forces.

I don't know why the UK lets a foreign oligarch and his stable of influencers stoke civil war in their country.

It stands out given that the UK does not have robust free speech protections, and legally restricts things like hate speech and incitement, harm and offense, and unsafe online content.

I literally looked into who funds this stuff because I had nothing better to do and it did not take long at all and it was not Dem leadership, lmao

Trump intends to leave the government shut down, and to use any public disruption in response to societal breakdown and starvation as a pretext to institute martial law, maybe via the Insurrection Act, or whatever. He is preparing for violent rule by king.

“The way US empire is being restructured adds to the existential threat of climate crisis — militarisation, a new Cold War and the formation of power blocs are carbon intensive undertakings.”

while it's pleasing to see that my many letters denouncing podcasters to the authorities have not gone unnoticed, this is primarily directed at bad health advice, a recurring problem that the Chinese government has taken pretty seriously since the Baidu search scandal years ago.

this is what annoys me about the recent WelcomePAC doc. moderating can be a tactic, but if you actually look at the electorate, issue saliency and credibility matter more

out and out segregationists

NYC mayor's race is now literally a scientific experiment to see if "provide a compelling, inclusive vision for your constituents" has a chance in politics against "just straight racism"

One remains hopeful, but preliminary results elsewhere have been mixed

You just genuinely can't have a "complete rejection of race- and group-based identity politics" when the Republican Party is seeking to dismantle the Voting Rights Act, erase trans people from public life, and racially profile, detain, and deport Hispanics. It's absurd to suggest it.

the name for this is martial law

pretty much every "special" or "house" sauce you've ever loved features mayo as a core ingredient
