Bari Weiss's Free Press is now literally doing "war is peace."

Not figuratively - literally.

Recall, as Bovino casually talks about obstructing justice, that he has been a federal immigration agent for 30 years. He’s a career guy who served across administrations of both parties.

The rot at DHS is deep and it didn’t start with Trump. Shut it down and start over.

[T]he SMF remains fundamentally committed to the heritage of Benjamin Franklin, which is inseparable from rational thinking, and condemns mistrust of science and any infringement on academic freedom.

Putting wheels on the cross to make it easier to carry is prob the most American Evangelical thing ever.
All of the victimhood but none of the sacrifice.

This deeply intimate report on how Israeli surveillance technology has reshaped Palestinian life by @mrmhawish is absolutely gutting https://t.co/e3qpfOd0Fp

I've been doing this a long time – and the Israel worshippers are a tough crowd. But I've never had a post swarmed like this one. It feels like I've stumbled into a Tommy Robinson convention or maybe a Met police locker room.

Someone really doesn't want us talking about this.

Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data.

It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America.

[Dan Sheehan @danpjsheehan]

This article is terrifying.

Israel, with the help of companies like Microsoft and Palantir, has turned Gaza into a dystopian hellscape beyond imagining—a drone-patrolled, wiretapped wasteland where grieving, traumatized people are afraid to even text their surviving loved ones.

Bloquear el teléfono, prestar atención a lo que se lleva puesto e idear planes para comunicarse con los demás son medidas clave que hay que tomar antes de asistir a una protesta. https://t.co/FuS6afDve4

Si vas a asistir a una manifestación, hay una serie de conceptos que debes tener en cuenta para mantenerte -y mantener tus datos- a salvo. https://t.co/FuS6afDve4

Bari Weiss built her career attacking Israel's critics. Since Oct 7, The Free Press became a hub for Israel's right-wing spin. Now she controls a U.S. broadcast news empire.

What does this mean for coverage of Israel? My latest @haaretzcom

Israel dropped bombs on a bus full of children in Gaza, slaughtering seven of them.

Seven children executed in an instant, before the eyes of the world.

The genocide has not stopped — not for a single day.

Citing an Italian who joined today’s strike in Italy:

‘We blocked Venice's port and so many others, free palestine 🇵🇸 not a nail will pass, not one container. We are doing it for you, we always think about you, you aren't forgotten’ 😭😭😭

[Ali Abunimah @AliAbunimah]

There are those who say that “Israel” punished the Palestinian people because of the resistance operation on October 7 (and therefore falsely blame the resistance for the bestial crimes for which the Zionist colony and its backers are solely responsible). But watch now as @netanyahu vows to punish the Palestinian people and the Abbas collaborator PA even more for the “peaceful” and “diplomatic” “recognition” of their imaginary West Bank and Gaza statelet. Britain, France, Canada and Australia will be responsible for bringing that further Zionist vengeance and barbarism on the heads of the Palestinian people because they will do nothing to stop it, and in fact “Israel” will do it with their weapons and money, just as they continue to finance and arm the genocide in Gaza.

And just like that, leg 2 of Radio Soul is underway — opening last night in Pennsylvania with Elvis Costello & The Imposters and Charlie Sexton!

I used it to understand the politics and law of starvation back at the beginning of the genocide and I 100% recommend it as a primer.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

How depraved do you have to be to starve an entire population, lure and humiliate them with crumbs, and then shoot and kill them…
