For those who believe we don’t have organized and coordinated censorship of the press in the United States: a billionaire family that has publicly declared Israel to be its single political issue, and is the single largest donor to Friends of the IDF, is buying up the entirety of the American media so any journalist critical of Israel doesn’t get a job, and any story critical of Israel doesn’t get broadcast.

I just heard a radio report on the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight incident.
Let me get this right:
The copilot stabbed the pilot.
A passenger going to the loo heard the altercation & alerted staff.
The plane went into a steep decline.
While that was happening, the stabbed, blood-soaked & still wrestling captain broke free from the tussle & opened the cockpit door - an awkward keypad operation.
While still in steep decline, passengers & flight crew stormed the cockpit, detaining the copilot, AND A PASSENGER steadied the plane, before, handily, ‘2 other Israeli pilots’ that just happened to be on board, popped up out of nowhere, incredibly avoided being shot out of the sky by a trigger happy Israel below, & flew it to Saudi Arabia where they landed it.
How did the passenger steady the plane? He had watched a TV show ‘Air Crash Investigation’ and “knew exactly what to do”.

Now.

I have SOOOOO many questions!!!
😂😂😂🙄🤷‍♂️

What Ed Sheeran did wrong tonight:

- Started with Oct 7th
- Called it a conflict
- Pretended that he didn't know enough
- Both Sides it
- Didn't apologise to Macklemore
- Didn't call it a genocide
- Didn't say FREE PALESTINE
- Used a teleprompter
- Didn't blame Israel

[Nick Cruse 🥋 @SocialistMMA]

There needs to be a serious conversation about what is being taught in Synagogues to Jews that leads so many of them to have a genocidal hatred of Palestinians

These people need to be de-radicalized

[Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb]

Take a moment to ponder how depraved this is.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

Ed Sheeran's statement. Jesus Christ.

Imagine if someone described the holocaust as "a conflict between the Jews and the Nazis".

They'd be rightly called out by every right thinking person.

He's just done that to Palestinians.

To appease a billionaire class.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells TMZ that the Ed Sheeran controversy is a gateway to a much bigger threat to artists’ freedom of speech:

“You see what Robert Kraft did to line up all of the stadium [owners] to censor speech in that one specific way, it becomes clear this is not just about one music artist or two music artists. This is about how just a handful of stadium owners and the elites could prevent an entire massive issue like the genocide in Gaza [from being discussed]. It doesn’t stop there; it could be speaking about AI or any issue. You can just get a handful of stadium owners to ensure that an entire person’s career can be jeopardized if they speak out about any issues.”

Shout out to singer Aaron Rowe.

Not even 200k Spotify listeners and only had one song scrape into the UK top 50 - and he’s just pulled out of the biggest opportunity of his career to stand up for what he believes.

The rule at Ground Zero has stood since 2012: no politician gets a podium. Just the names, 2,977 of them, read one by one.

Trump asked to speak. When organizers said no, he chose not to show up at all, headed to the Pentagon instead, where he would get a microphone.

Obama, Biden, Bush, and Clinton showed up anyway, with Michelle, Jill, Laura, and Hillary standing beside them, on the 25th anniversary of the worst day in this country’s history.

Four presidents chose silence over a stage.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see.

We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas.

We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.

16 years ago Google pulled its search engine out of China because they wouldn’t submit to an authoritarian government.

Today, they’re renaming lakes to appease one.

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

"The Israel lobby wrote itself a dictionary. Governments adopted it, regulators enforced it and police made arrests under it. Then it met a judge who required evidence, and it collapsed in an afternoon."
