Americans will not be silenced. The trump Administration’s attempt to go after its perceived enemies continues to go down in flames.
David Huerta should never have been prosecuted. @TheJusticeDept is a joke and @DAGToddBlanche is an unethical, partisan hack.
November is coming.
It physically pains me to say this, but apparently Tractor Supply @TractorSupply has BANNED a hot dog vendor for supporting President Trump. It’s clear that they learned NOTHING from Bud Light, Target, Cracker Barrel, Gillette, and Disney.
GO WOKE, GO BROKE!
If anyone knows this particular vendor, please dm me with their contact information. I’d like to prop them up and send business their way.
MAGA 🇺🇸
🚨WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS MEAN:
TRUMP: “Some of you are lucky the last dinner got cut short. I brought something with me…I had something, I was gonna go after you. Your lives were put in danger for a different reason. But on the plus side, your careers were saved.”
When my New York Jewish friends tell me they’re sorry they voted for Mamdani, I tell them they were warned but didn’t listen.
Last August, three months before the election, @richzeoli asked me about him. I said it straight:
“They should be worried. New York should be very worried. Not only just the Jewish community. I don’t understand anyone that’s Jewish that could vote for him.”
I warned he would bring the same divisive, antisemitism-enabling politics that turned Sadiq Khan’s London into a mess of no-go zones and open hostility.
Too many New Yorkers let their dislike of Trump override every red flag.
Now the consequences are here.
Stop thinking MAGA are in some rural area. They are in your city mobilizing for the next election.
Want the next CA gov to be MAGA? Then stay home and be complacent. Go on thinking we solved everything by voting in Biden.
Modi G's message to Gen Z:
Listen up friends, it's very late but I'll be real quick.
Paper leaks ain't no small thing, fr. It's been hurting lakhs of students and their parents. I understand.
So when it happened, we acted fast, investigated and caught the culprits, last 2.5 months they are still locked up, no cap. They're rotting in jail without bail.
Our main mission was making sure y'all didn't lose a whole year. We moved crazy fast, got exams sorted for almost 2.2 mil students ASAP, and dropped the results on 19th.
But we ain't stopping there. Today, I got my depts to cook up fast-track courts with strictest punishments for paper leaks. They pulled an all-nighter and handed me the draft late night, now.
Tomorrow's cabinet is where we discuss it, lock it in after everyone's input, then push that bill in Parliament starting Monday. We'll move fast.
-------
So the main message:
Your future is non-negotiable. Anyone even thinks to mess with GenZ's dreams by leaking papers, we'll ensure they're getting cooked big time. Period.
And, we need to remember, these are just some of the steps taken by GoI. There's a lot more happening behind the scenes.
Also, due to the repeat issues, and the concerns, criticism, and protest of the genuinely aggrieved this time, am sure a lot more reforms are coming in the whole testing process.
We need to give this time. Because, as far as I can remember, for decades India has had this paper leak issue, every year, in every state, under every govt in power. It's a systemic issue that can't be solved in a night. But good to see the govt trying hard now.
So, I’m not sorry if there is a new trend of the “left”, or as I call them, moral Americans, standing up and saying we will not tolerate people who lock children in cages, dehumanize other members of socieity.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s illegal for landlords to:
- Lock you out or evict you without a court order.
- Shut off your heat, hot water, electricity, or other essential services to force you out of your home.
- Retaliate against you for reporting unsafe conditions or exercising your tenant rights.
- Leave serious health and safety hazards, like mold, unrepaired.
- Discriminate against you because of your race, disability, or other protected characteristics.
The term "Palestine" until the 20th century referred to an administrative region without fixed or clear borders and with no national identity. The people who lived there before then were either regarded as Ottomans or as part of the Syrian region.
The term came from the final humiliation of the Jews by the Romans in AD 135, following the Bar Kokhba Revolt. The Romans put down the revolt and humiliated the Jews by renaming Judea, etc., "Syria Palaestina," which means "philistine Syria." Arabs and other Arabic speakers record this by naming the land of "Filastin" (ard Filastin) in their fatwas and some other writing.
While some Muslims used the term that we'd render as Palestine, and many Europeans did as a hangover from the Latin name for the region, especially given the general vacancy and irrelevance of the region to most world affairs, it was never anything more than a vague regional designation. There was no state, no province, no administrative district, even, referred to by any name that would render to "Palestine" today. There was, as noted, certainly no national or even sub-national identity, and any attempt to do so would have been shut down by seeing them as incorporated within the broader Syrian identity. The name carried roughly the same kind of specific significance as a term like the "Near East" would today.
Identifying people as "Palestinians" didn't really begin until the very end of the 19th century, and even then it was a reaction to Zionism and Jews starting to move into the region. The term was sort of mainstreamed as a political reality after the Ottoman Empire was broken up in defeat after World War I, and the region came under British control using the old Latin terminology as "British Mandate Palestine," meaning "the part of the Palestinian region under British control." That was roughly thirty years before Israel would declare independence as the sovereign nation-state of Israel as we know it today. At no point in this story is there a sovereign nation-state called Palestine or anything resembling it.
That said, the beginnings of an Arab "Palestinian" identity as oppositional to Zionism and British Mandatory control, developed from their previous 1890s beginnings to something more like a dedicated resistance identity when the Brits took over. Arabs didn't believe in British sovereignty or control over what they deemed Islamic land, either, and they were adamantly opposed to the Mandate's explicit Zionism, which was being acted upon to bring Jews into the region (even though the British were wishy-washy on this and then betrayed it during WWII, when it was arguably needed most).
The "Palestinian" identity at the time wasn't exactly national but quasi-national and born (and borne) only in resistance. It gained some crystallization as such in the mid and late 1930s after the failed Arab Revolt, significantly as a response (back-up plan) to the failure of Greater Syria to defend "Arab" interests in the region against British (and Jewish Zionist) control.
Still, it didn't acquire something approaching the identity status people might recognize today for about another decade. That had to wait until after the "Nakba" in 1948-49. This contested event occurred when five of the surrounding actual Arabian nations declared and LOST a war on the newly declared Israel. These were Egypt, Syria, (Trans)jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon.
Now, this war was the continuation of the same war being fought in the region before Israel's declaration of independence (May 15, 1948) following the late 1947 UN Partition of the region, which the proto-Israelis accepted and all the Arabs rejected. The Arabs started that war, too. Notice no state of Palestine was involved because there was no state of Palestine to be involved. Something like a "Palestinian identity" as a refusal of these developments took significant shape at the time, though.
The Arabs refer to this humiliating loss as a "catastrophe," THE catastrophe (Nakba), and rewrote history to create a "Palestinian" people who were displaced, harmed, and killed by the (defensive) military actions of the Israelis, which they see as an act of colonial aggression because they cannot admit or accept that they lost the wars, including WWI, which removed the land from Muslim control (which they believe is permanent). The "Palestinian people," whom none of these Arab states would absorb because they were more useful as a military-political weapon against Israel, came into existence as a tool to further their Islamic designs.
By the way, the UN Partition in 1947 (General Assembly Resolution 181) does not name the two states it partitioned "Israel" and "Palestine." It called them the "Jewish State" and the "Arab State." The Jews took for themselves the name "Israel" for that land, as they would. As for the "Arab State," it is not actually clear what would have been its fate. Jordan (Transjordan) viewed the Arab land by the Jordan River to naturally be part of its territory, not an independent state called "Palestine." The Syrians opposed this not particularly because they wanted the land but because they didn't want Jordanian expansion. As for Gaza, Egypt wanted administrative control but not to annex it. It is not clear what it's fate as "Arab State" would have been.
In all, in 1948-49, and following the "Nakba," these behaviors and conflicts reflected the broader pattern of inter-Arab rivalry more than anything else. The neighboring states were more focused on preventing a Jewish state and on blocking one another’s gains than on creating a viable independent Palestinian Arab state under the UN plan. The very idea of "Palestine" with a unique national identity and (fabricated) national history would have to wait.
Identity during this period (1949-1967) was still largely either "Arab" or as part of one of the Arab states, like Syrian, Jordan, or Egyptian, specifically, or just "Islamic." Movements like pan-Arabism and even pan-Syrianism were more relevant to the identity of the people today treated as "Palestinians" than was anything to do with Palestine, although the word was used. The biggest change in this period from the one before is that before this, the term "Palestinian" referred also to Jews in the region (under the Mandate), which more or less ended. Arab states also kicked out all the Jews (850,000 of them) during this time, and most of them were absorbed by Israel.
Even still, the idea of a "Palestinian nation," wasn't really invented in 1948. It didn't really gain solid identity in the global imagination as such until after the Six-Day War in 1967, which the Arabs (especially Egypt) lost badly to Israel. This second humiliation, referred to as the Naksa ("setback" or "relapse" or "defeat"), which displaced some 400,000 people* as Israel pushed threats out of its immediate vicinity by taking the lands from which they operated, changed the strategic needs of the resistance movement and fabricated a Palestinian national identity with a bogus history more or less out of thin air. That's the one defended to this day.
*These people were in large part there as a stand of active resistance against the existence of Israel as part of the aforementioned strategic refusal of any Arab states to absorb them, etc., so focusing on their displacement alone is complicated, to say the least.
The thing is, the idea to do this Palestinian national identity thing was largely due to Yasser Arafat, who was working with and getting aid and assistance from the Soviets (and arguably strategic advice in this regard, as the "Palestinian cause" strongly resembles elements of Soviet korenizatsiya programming, which has proved a useful wedge device all over the world). Moscow got involved after 1967 largely because it was only after the Six-Day War that Israel allied formally with the United States (and Western Alliance), which was the ultimate enemy of the Soviets.
Palestinian "national" identity has always therefore been a political contrivance designed to be used as a wedge and weapon against any sovereign control, especially by Jews, of any land in the broad region the Romans once declared "Syria Palaestina." A nontrivial part of this curious effort was an allied Soviet-Arab program to damage Israel and weaken American and Western interests in the Middle East (another regional designation term that isn't a nation, by the way).
That is, it's NOT REAL. It's a political contrivance meant to destabilize the region, kill and displace Jews, and fight Western interests. That's why it exists.
Since it's not real in the sense of being a genuine national identity stretching back into history in any regard, the culture that is assigned to it is also a fabrication. It is a blend of various Islamic and Arab cultural points with outright jihadist and Soviet-Communist radicalism and terrorism treated as though it's a culture. It's a culture of "resistance" and "liberation" in precisely the Communist uses of the terms. It's a "culture" in the same way "Woke" is a culture. In fact, it's basically the same thing, just Islamic and Third-Worldist Arab flavored instead of Western identity politics.
