However dumb you think the process for destroying USAID was, it was dumber.
This is from Nicholas Enrich's new book Into the Wood Chipper, describing a meeting with Trump-appointed USAID leadership *after* they had largely gutted the agency
Norman Finkelstein, son of Holocaust survivors: "The irony is that the Holocaust has become the main ideological weapon for launching wars of aggression. It's the suffering used as a pretext and excuse to humiliate, degrade and torture the Palestinians."
Mullin outright LIES and claims in this clip that 20 million people came under Biden. This is utter, total nonsense. The 20 million figure was pulled out of thin air by Trump at a campaign rally in 2024.
The scandal over this photo perfectly reflects so many accusations of antisemitism.
In this case, a photo captures exactly how a settler looks, and the magazine is condemned as antisemitic because his appearance supposedly is identical to “caricatures.”
Meanwhile, when criticizing Israel, you can accurately describe exactly what it does with extensive sources and proof, and they call you hateful because the actions may align with antisemitic “tropes.”
Instead of condemning Israel for manifesting the worst antisemitic stereotypes, they say doing so is hateful.
Reality is antisemitic to them because it does not align with the Jewish supremacist worldview they have been propagating their whole lives.

"Nicknamed the Kids Internet and Digital Safety (KIDS) Act, the bill would require the millions of Americans who use apps and play games on their phones to provide ID to do so. The legislation, of course, sells itself as a way to protect the children. In practice, however, it would serve only to eviscerate First Amendment rights and give Big Tech more data for hackers to steal. Congress should clear this bill from its legislative cache and find a way to protect children that doesn’t treat everyone like a kid." @garre
They are trying to bankrupt the Park Service so they can sell the parks off to the highest bidder. This kind of cut could close smaller Monuments like Tuzigoot and Montezuma's Castle and severely harm the large parks. Communities around the parks rely on tourism.
Reports are coming in that people in Mahshahr cannot breathe due to the chemical pollution caused by the US and Israeli bombardment of the petrochemical factories there.
hi i wrote about Hasan Derangement Syndrome & the centrists who think being rude is worse than genocide. By comparing Hasan to Nick Fuentes, they want you to believe being mean to them or to Israel is the same thing as being a Nazi. They're normalizing actual bigots as a result:
The world should bookmark and remember this moment, a statement from the US Secretary of State openly acknowledging the punishment of two adult women, not for who they are or for any wrongdoing of their own, but simply because of who they are related to.
This alone exposes the hypocrisy and double standards at play. It raises serious questions about how firmly the US truly stands by its stated principles on women’s rights and individual accountability
Tennessee gave $65 million to Oracle to create jobs— guess we should have specified they be jobs for Americans🫤
Trump’s buddy Ellison is firing Americans and replacing them with foreign workers. (And now owns TikTok, CBS, CNN, etc)

On March 28, U.S.-Israeli strikes targeted Iran University of Science and Technology, completely destroying its engineering college. The Department of Physics and Department of Cultural and Islamic Studies also sustained major damage.
BT went to the site of the destruction a few days later and saw first responders and volunteers at work, cleaning up debris and handing out sweets and tea. University alumni were also present, whom we spoke to.
The bombing of the university follows the U.S.-Israeli strike on the home of Saeed Shamaqdari, IUST’s Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering. Shamaqdari was killed, alongside his two children.
According to Iranians, U.S.-Israeli attacks on universities and scientists is a way of targeting the country's development in the technical fields, which forms the basis of their defense and advanced missile program.
The fact that Trump is literally ending threats of violence with the English version of Allahu Akhbar is fascinating. Enemies start to resemble each other.
This site’s awash with idiots who cheerled the Iraq war, didn’t learn a thing from that fiasco, and are now squaring their idiocy by doing the same with Trump and Iran. Thought about expressing this more politely but there’s no point in euphemism. America is deservedly alone.
