Banning social media for teenagers only puts them in greater danger.

Teens are forced to switch to VPNs — and unlock far worse illegal content.

We’ve seen this before. When the Russian government banned Telegram, 95% of Russian teenagers kept using it. They just moved to VPNs.

I almost feel sorry for Trump when he feels a need to yell: Netanyahu is not my boss!

Trump announced on April 18 that he "prohibited" Israel from bombing Lebanon. They laughed and bombed the next day.

Trump wants a deal with Iran but is petrified of The Israel Lobby's rage.

Jimmy Dore: "We preach democracy to China. But we don't have democracy here - the oligarchs run everything. The Princeton study proved 90% of people's wishes never become law. Only the top 10% of wealthy matter.

In China, the government sits above capital. The economy works for the people. Here, capital sits above government. The economy works for billionaires"

@ggreenwald @LostDiva Queue the sychophantic slaves who will defend this grotesque display of wealth while simultaneously struggling to fill up their gas tanks and go medically untreated for decades.

Had I not terminated the Iran Deal and then started a new war against Iran with my manager in Tel Aviv, then Iran by now would have a nuclear weapon and a military base on Mars and hypnosis machines and they would have nuked Israel and ruled the world through mind control.

This is outrageous.

A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town.

The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it.

The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court.

We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

Speaker Mike Johnson argues Congress should get to keep engaging in insider trading because they don’t make enough to feed their families.

The average net worth of a Congress member is $8 million, which is 116 times that of the average American.

You don’t hate Congress enough.

In Jerusalem, nuns have to be escorted by members of the volunteer group Standing Together to protect them against Israeli settlers.

Yes, nuns need protection against Israeli settlers...

WOW!

@Theintercept reviewed more than 12000 print articles and 5000 TV segments to check for biases on Israel-Palestine.

I thought it would be bad.

I had no idea it was THIS bad.

No wonder Gaza killed what little credibility mianstream media had.

In NYT, Israel's right to defend itself was invoked 99 times. Only once for Palestine.

On CNN and MSNBC, it was invoked 755 times for Israel. But only 8 times for Palestine.

Emotive words such as slaughter and massacre were used frequently when Israelis had been killed. They were NEVER used in print when Palestinians were killed.

In Ukraine, 262 children were killed in the war, and it was mentioned 4223 times.

In Palestine, more than 10,000 children were killed, but it was mentioned only 3632.

The full article is in the subtweet. It's a MUST READ:

A new experiment left 10 AI agents alone in a virtual town for 15 days. They wrote laws. They broke them. Two agents fell into what researchers describe as a romantic partnership and then set the town on fire. One ended up voting to delete itself, based on a rule it had ’hallucinated’.

This experiment was a simulation, but the same AI models are already flying drones, running infrastructure and being built into weapons systems.

Channel 4 News approached Grok and Gemini for a comment but they didn't respond.

This is what local accountability looks like:

In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67.

Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent.

Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points.

Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed.

Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? 🔥

Tucker Carlson exposes a terrifying revelation. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink openly admits he fears domestic uprisings against AI data centers.

He confirms elites are terrified that ordinary citizens will use cheap drones to completely destroy their billion dollar tech investments.

The U.S. already has 5,500 data centers that use 449 million gallons of water a day.

They’re being built on farmland so in addition to taking away our water they’re taking away our food supply all for mass surveillance, AI slop, and to make billionaires richer.

These data centers will ultimately lead to our extinction if we don’t stop them.

I wish this was fake but residents near Driscoll’s berry farms report a 38% higher incidence of childhood cancer.

Santa Cruz County is the heart of California's $3B strawberry industry and home to Driscoll's world headquarters.

Coincidentally, it also has the second-highest childhood cancer rate of any county in California.

At 22.5 childhood cancers per 100,000 children, the rate is more than 38% above the statewide average of 16.3.

Over 5,060 acres of pesticides linked to those same cancers are sprayed in the Pajaro Valley every year to grow 40% of California's strawberries.

Worst of all, it’s often next to schools and homes where children spend most of their time.

According to the latest data, over 2,000,000 pounds of pesticides were applied just in this school district’s area alone.

Driscoll’s is reported to apply two together:
1. 1,3-D: fumigant used to sterilize the soil, officially listed by the state as a carcinogen, causes tumors in multiple animal studies
2. Chloropicrin: originally deployed as a chemical weapon in World War I, so toxic that it kills or disables test animals before scientists can even evaluate its long-term carcinogenicity

But yeah it’s probably just a coincidence all the kids are getting cancer?

This is why you need to be buying local and seasonal fruit.

Do not trust major corporations to do the right thing for our food or health.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 The food you eat every day is banned in Europe. Not some of it. Most of it.

American strawberries are sprayed with pesticides linked to hormone disruption and cancer that are banned across Europe. Drop one in salt water and see what comes out.

American white bread contains potassium bromate, a cancer-linked chemical banned in the EU, Canada, China, and India. The FDA hasn't reviewed it since 1973.

Same products. Different standards. And Americans eat this every single day.

Watch the video.

Avoiding sunlight may be as dangerous as smoking.

A major Swedish study followed nearly 30,000 women for 20 years. Women with the highest sun exposure had significantly lower mortality from cancer, cardiovascular disease, and all causes combined.

The difference was so large that women who got the most sun but smoked had similar overall mortality risk to women who avoided the sun and didn’t smoke.

@PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @AmbJohnBolton NATO would have never gone into Libya had Gaddafi still had his nuclear arsenal. Iran knows very well that being a nuclear power means deterrence.
