A federal judge has stated that my rights were violated with the seizure of my phones, and placed the repression I experienced in the wider context of Trump's assault on press freedom

Our case is moving forward thanks to the valiant work of @JeninYounesEsq and @adc

[The Grayzone @TheGrayzoneNews]

A federal court granted discovery in Max Blumenthal's lawsuit against the Trump admin, and called the seizure of his phones a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights

The judge framed the case as part of Trump's wider assault on press freedom

“Far-left incidents” are on the rise lol

[The Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post]

CAM reported a rise in far-left incidents as Democratic Socialists of America (DS)-backed candidates, including prominent anti-Israel activists, made gains in Democratic primaries across the New York City metro area.

This is the same Congressional Black Caucus whose exec committee voted unanimously to invite Republican Rep’s Alan West and Tim Scott to join

West was a fanatical Muslim basher who boasted of holding a civilian at gunpoint in Iraq and Scott’s career was bankrolled by Larry Ellison

So they both had more in common with Hakeem Jeffries than Chevalier - at least where it really counts

[Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender]

NEW: Darializa Avila Chevalier's entry into the Black Caucus isn't a guarantee

"Not if she doesn't support Hakeem along with other issues," one senior member told @axios

Another said DAC "absolutely will not be welcomed if she doesn't support Hakeem."

What's much more scandalous than this is the fact that the US used the Precision Strike Missile for the first time on February 28 and bombed a sports hall in Iran, killing girls who were practicing volleyball. A crime overshadowed by the Minab school massacre.

Watch Van Jones, an agent of Israeli influence, get uncomfortable when AIPAC is referred to as an agent of Israeli influence, then faithfully advance the AIPAC line on military aid to Israel

[Trisha Posner @trishaposner]

So @davidaxelrod pulled the "as a Jew" move on CNN tonight — right on cue. He opens by invoking that he "speaks as the son of a Jewish refugee," then uses that cover to call it "a legitimate question" whether AIPAC should be treated as "an agent of any foreign government, whether it's Israel or other." That's not commentary on money in politics. That's laundering the oldest antisemitic trope in American politics through a Jewish messenger — which is exactly why it works on air.

It took @VanJones68, not Axelrod, to say the obvious: no, AIPAC isn't a foreign agent, it's American Jews organizing around Israel. Then Jones went further and corrected the substance too — American Jews might include that El-Sayed "is not our guy."

Progressive Jews keep doing this: reaching for their own Jewishness to give an antisemitic framing permission to exist on-air, then stepping back and letting it work.

US DOJ relying on anonymous Israeli intel agent to convict US resident of Oct 7 participation

The unconstitutional tactic was first used in the infamous Holy Land trial

The DOJ is also relying on largely on intel from Israel, which the defense can't see

🇺🇸🇧🇷The US just revoked the visa of Brazil's Ambassador to the US.

That follows a series of escalating diplomatic disputes, including Trump's tariffs on the country and sanctions on Brazil's tyrannical Supreme Court justice, followed by Brazil's visa denial for US State officials as well as denial of approval of the US's Ambassador to Brazil.

All this is likely to lead to further escalation and tensions between the two largest nations in the hemisphere, especially since Lula believes that fighting with Trump and waving the banner of nationalism and sovereignty will help him in the October presidential election against Flavio Bolsonaro (similar to how it helped Mark Carney in Canada).

Israel has committed so many shocking atrocities over the past 2.5 years that many forgot how it massacred over 300 people in a November 2023 strike on Gaza’s Al-Sabra neighborhood

112 of those victims from two clans were just extracted from the rubble and given a mass funeral

Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Brett McGurk and Kamala Harris all have this blood on their hands

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

(Remember when the MSNBC journalist asked me, “Why not humanize all?” Then please do exactly that. Cover this. Report on it. Tell these families’ stories. If this does not deserve sustained international coverage, what does?)

Today, a historic mass funeral in Gaza City laid to rest 112 Palestinian civilians from the Abu Sharia and Al-Hasayna families, making it the largest single-event funeral procession in Palestinian history. These victims were killed on November 22, 2023, during a devastating Israeli airstrike that completely leveled a densely populated residential block in al-Sabra neighborhood, claiming the lives of approximately 308 people in total. Because israeli intense military attacks and severe equipment shortages blocked emergency access to the site, the bodies remained trapped under the concrete rubble for over two and a half years. The collective burial finally took place at the Baptist Cemetery following an arduous, days-long recovery operation by the Gaza Civil Defense, drawing thousands of mourners to honor the victims, who included over 40 children and 30 women.

Now ask yourself this: if this had happened anywhere else in the world, would there have been live coverage from the scene? Would journalists from CNN, BBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CBC, Sky News, France 24, or other major international outlets have been broadcasting this funeral to a global audience?

Surely, many a single victim elsewhere could command hours of international coverage. But sorry, the victims are Palestinians and the mainstream media does not even consider them human.

A rare W for free speech in the UK

ANTI-ZIONISM PROTECTED BY UK LAW

We have set a binding legal precedent!

Anti-Zionism is now a protected philosophical belief under the Equality Act 2010. Full stop.

The Employment Appeal Tribunal finally handed down its judgment this morning. The University of Bristol’s attempt to overturn my 2024 Employment Tribunal victory has been comprehensively dismissed. We won on every single count.

This is a public humiliation for the genocidal Zionist regime, whose assets in Britain bullied the University into sacking me and then dragged them into this futile appeal. Their legal strategy has collapsed. Their pressure campaign has spectacularly backfired.

Thanks to everyone who believed in me and supported me. This is a victory for the whole anti-Zionist movement.

A full statement will follow shortly.

From the River to the Sea
Palestine will be free! 🇵🇸

The scale of military failure is even worse than this

Besides running out of key standoff munitions, a new CSIS report finds the US has blown through 65% of Patriot and THAAD stocks, and will take years to replace them

Meanwhile, the US is evacuating Gulf bases and repositioning refueling tankers to Israel’s Ramon Airbase, making sorties over Iran even more challenging

[Erin Banco @ErinBanco]

EXCLUSIVE: The U.S. has used ��virtually all” of its precision strike missiles during the war in Iran. Stockpiles on ATACMs and Precision Strike Missiles are almost depleted. And we have used about half of our Tomahawks, per new data circulating inside the admin.

My journalistic output seems to have triggered yet another mental breakdown by Laura Loomer.

The noted serial harasser now wants me imprisoned for interviewing a member of the same team of Iranian content creators interviewed by the BBC, CNN, Vice, and many other outlets.

In a separate but equally demented screed yesterday, Loomer shamelessly fabricated details of my questioning by CBP agents, demonstrating that she has as much sourcing as she has ethics, which is exactly none.

A day before, Loomer falsely claimed (for at least the fifth time) that I am the employer of Joe Kent's wife, Heather, who published a total of one article with my outlet several years ago.

That same day, Loomer cropped a photo of a glass of wine on a dining table where Tucker Carlson was seated to falsely claim the teetotaler had become a full blown alcoholic. Next, Loomer claimed that Tucker is "having sex with a Russian agent and cheating on his wife," admitting she had no evidence for the inflammatory accusation.

Someone who's known Loomer well is Roger Stone. In a lengthy profile of his former associate, the veteran GOP operative and Trump insider wrote: "There are questions, too, about [Loomer's] mental health... Loomer has said in the past that she has mental health issues, and told this magazine in 2019 that she had once come close to taking her own life. I feel for Loomer, but there remain questions over why she is prohibited from having a gun license."

Stone went on to reveal a conversation with an "American journalist" who told him "that Loomer confided in him Mossad’s detailed plans for Venezuela." He concluded that "this once again raises the question of who Loomer really works for, something she has thus far neglected to reveal."

Stone's whole article, "The Tragedy of Laura Loomer," is worth a read, as it describes one of the most shocking subplots in the story of the most corrupt presidential administration in history: a psychologically disturbed fabulist has gained special access to the Oval Office, and exploits it to lobby for executive action against the targets of her clients – who now apparently include a pair of foreign states seeking to drag the US deeper into disastrous wars in Iran and the Donbas.

In fact, Loomer managed to convince Trump to fire his administration's most credible expert on Shi'ism and Iran, Nate Swanson. Trump dutifully obeyed Loomer's command to oust Swanson from the NSC after he correctly warned that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz if attacked by the US. Months later, Trump is getting US troops killed in a failed bid to open the Strait.

Where she was once emboldened, Loomer now seems desperate, and more deranged than ever, if that was even possible.

After seeming to taking personal responsibility for the warrantless seizure of my phones by the CBP, she's suddenly crashing out over a federal judge describing the act as a violation of my Fourth Amendment rights.

After attempting to sicc Trump's DHS Secretary on me, she's calling for his firing.

She's bursting botox bubbles over Lego cartoons and demanding my imprisonment for interviewing their creator.

The whole crash out has me wondering if her administration patrons will realize what a Frankenstein-Jigsaw monster they created, and that in the end, they are the ones who will be Loomered.

‼️ ATTENTION @DHSgov @FBIDirectorKash @SecScottBessent @StateDept ‼️

In addition to traveling to Iran attend the funeral of the Ayatollah where attendees were chanting “Death to America” and “Kill Trump”, radical leftist and Islamic sympathizer Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal sat down for an “interview” with the head of @ExplosiveMediaa Explosive Media, the creator of the Iranian LEGO propaganda videos that openly call for the assassination of President Trump, US citizens and Trump administration officials, including myself.

The men who operate Explosive Media are affiliated with Iran’s Media Literacy Club, an Islamic Regime media training pipeline, as well as Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Iran’s state broadcaster which has been sanctioned for cooperating with the IRGC.

The LEGO videos are part of Iranian state media. Blumenthal is seen in the video below sitting in front of the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Explosive Media usually begins or ends their LEGO videos with a giant red sign that says “KT”. KT means “Kill Trump”.

This interview comes after Blumenthal’s electronics were seized by DHS and Border Patrol upon his return to the United States from Iran, where he was questioned by authorities over who paid for his trip and what he was doing in Iran.
Blumenthal was reportedly very combative with authorities, elusive over who paid for his trip, and he is now suing the Trump administration to prevent the evidence from coming out. He really doesn’t want authorities seeing the alleged communications on his phone with Iranian officials and whoever else it is that he met with while he was in Iran… likely because it could possibly lead to criminal charges.

Blumenthal is NOT a journalist. He is an anti-American propagandist who is amplifying content creators who are explicitly calling for the assassination of President Trump and who are directly tied to sanctioned entities.

It’s time for law enforcement to raid Blumenthal and hold him and @TheGrayzoneNews accountable once and for all. His passport should be confiscated and he should be throughly investigated.

No one person could produce industrial grade content like this

It's an obvious team effort scripted by Israel

Eyal Yakoby made 2,093 posts about Tucker Carlson in 14 months, with spikes whenever Carlson questioned Israel. One posting spree lasted 30 hours without a single break.
