Hamas has launched an industrial‑scale campaign of terror, intimidation, interrogation, and blackmail against thousands of Gazans it suspects of planning to join tomorrow’s June 26 demonstrations against its violent, authoritarian rule. Hospitals across Gaza have been turned into makeshift police stations, interrogation sites, and torture centers. Clan elders are being coerced into issuing statements. Hamas operatives are stealing phones and posting fabricated messages to sabotage the protests. Families are being threatened, people placed under house arrest, and Hamas’s al‑Qassam brigades (the same forces responsible for October 7) have been fully mobilized to reinforce police and intelligence units with explicit shoot‑to‑kill orders.
Meanwhile, the mainstream press is largely absent, apparently because Israel is not involved – so no Jews, no news. And the Western “pro‑Palestine” industry is either celebrating the electoral victories of pro‑Hamas, hard‑left candidates or actively smearing Gaza’s protesters as collaborators undermining the “resistance.” As for the UN, NGOs, and major human‑rights organizations: silence. Not a word for Palestinians risking their lives to say they are done with Hamas’s terror and rule.
This is what the abandonment of Palestinians in Gaza looks like. Shame on all who stay silent in the face of jihadi, ISIS‑like violence against the very people they claim to champion.
One of the things I mourn the most in the current political era is that we've lost an important idea - that people who run for office should, at the very least, be competent people and good people. Not crazy. No major scandals, no outright evil views.
Nobody cares any more.
@HannahDCox Agree about the investor ban. The data is clear that it isn't a problem nationwide.
The provisions giving municipalities access to loans/funding for water/sewer is actually important for ex-urban and rural areas. They want development but can't afford the infrastructure.
Usually a lurker on here but dipping my toes briefly into the "k-shaped economy" discourse.
At PNC we track the debit & credit spending trends of a fixed cohort of ~4 million households.
Long story short: lower-income spending/balance sheet trends have been on a tear in 2026
10 years ago I told my city councilor I wanted more homes and he said I was the first person ever to tell him that.
Yesterday, congress passed a huge bill with overwhelming bipartisan support to make it happen.
Change is possible. Thanks to all who are part of this movement. 💪
All I can say about the reflecting pool debacle is that I thought it would be impossible to top the Four Seasons Landscaping plot line, but having the guy who said he was gonna drain the swamp accidentally MAKE A GIANT SWAMP is giving it a run for its money.
Mike the Nut Elf here and today is the Nut Fairy’s BIG 60th birthday….yay she gets free prescriptions 🤣
I’m a very lucky man, not only is she a wonderful wife who looks after me with my neurological problems, mother and grandma she is also a true wildlife warrior and feeds all the animals 24/7.
I’m sure you’d all like to wish her a very Happy Day 🥳🦡🐾🐾❤️
There is a Type of Person who sincerely thinks that what's holding back progress is people like Ezra Klein, and they've convinced themselves that but for Ezra - who is to the left of like 90% of America - regular Americans would turn into revolutionary soldiers for socialism.
As of Tuesday, at least 222 recruits at Lackland Air Force Base, part of Joint Base San Antonio, had been diagnosed with the flu and four had been hospitalized https://t.co/cX6jbruvdm
@emzanotti So is trad wife just the millennial term for “stay at home mom”? I thought it meant something else, but if you and other moms who also have jobs are trad wives, then it is hard to distinguish from your average wife who chooses to stay home. Honest question.
The New Yorker did a massive piece back in 2017 going over her upbringing and religious associations, including the accusation that Tulsi was recruited by her cult to run for office
I want to know who invited this totalitarian thug who is targeting Jewish Americans to the NCGOP convention last week.
Alex doesn’t belong in North Carolina, nor anywhere near @NCGOP.
@Sir_Ousman@MoarSahitoPTI This is completely untrue. It is an urban legend that needs to be retired. Continuing therapy beyond symptom resolution does not promote resistance. Quite the opposite. Shorter Is Better.
@emzanotti This used to be normal. And every so often the “use it or lose it” final gift from the ovaries would arrive AFTER the first grandchild. Not common, but not uncommon.
This person is delusional and bent.
A serious country doesn’t put this conspiracy addict and grifter as secretary of a book club let alone Secretary of Health & Human Services.
We are finally watching #TeamAmericaWorldPolice. Even more appropriate now than when it was released. Hopefully there will be a sequel now that we won the war with Iran.
