A piece in which I touch on 20-some odd players I saw at @3SSBCircuit's Session I in Council Bluffs last week.

Jewish groups are now boasting more explicitly than ever that they will use Jewish wealth to destroy any US politician who refuses to "stand with" Israel: as they did to Massie.
But if you observe the same exact thing in order to criticize it, you're instantly branded a bigot.
🇦🇪🏀 The UAE: Sponsors of the NBA, the Knicks, and a mass-murdering militia in Sudan
As the NBA Finals tip off, Sudan’s former Foreign Minister Omer Ismail is calling on the league to end its landmark sponsorship deal with the UAE in a new Zeteo op-ed. The NBA’s partnership with the Gulf monarchy is reportedly worth up to $500 million in advertising and promotional value, while the Knicks wear Experience Abu Dhabi on their jerseys under a separate $30 million sponsorship deal.
The Rapid Support Forces, armed and backed by the UAE, have committed genocide, mass rape, ethnic cleansing, and some of the worst race-based atrocities of the 21st century in Sudan.

Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.
Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.
The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.
The Thunder’s roster cost a manageable $186.7 million this season. It’s currently projected to spike toward $250 million next season, deep into the second apron.

"The problem was Larry Brown... we had to call the NBA on him twice."
@channingfrye has some absolutely wild stories from his time with the Knicks 😳

Israeli terrorists, like Isaac Herzog, are welcomed in the UK. They commit atrocities like the one below and the UK government treats them like royalty. But when we ask that Israel please stop attacking all its neighbors, taking their land and committing genocide, we're banned.
🚨 DATA CENTERS: This is How Democracy Dies in America, One Lawsuit at a Time 🚨
A small Michigan farm town did everything right.
Saline Township residents packed meetings, plastered signs everywhere, and convinced their board to vote 4-1 AGAINST rezoning prime farmland for a $16 BILLION OpenAI-Oracle "Stargate" data center.
The people said NO.
Two days later?
The billionaire-backed developer sued.
The tiny township (budget $1M) couldn't afford the legal war... so they caved and settled.
Now the bulldozers are rolling over farmland while the town treasurer resigned in tears over death threats.
This isn't development.
This is corporate conquest.
Big Tech doesn't ask.
They sue until you break.
Your town could be next.
When corporations can override a 4-1 local vote with lawyers and cash, do we still live in a democracy?
How many more family farms get paved for AI server farms before we say enough?
Why do billionaires get to force their "future" on rural America while draining our water and power grids?
What would the Founding Fathers do if corporations treated towns like this?
Watch this town fight... and lose.
Retweet if you're done with corporate rule.
Comment your town below... are data centers coming for you too?
Let me know what you think,
and SHARE THIS so that others may too.

What the heck are you doing?!
These are the brand new disguised Automated License Plate Reader cameras in Arizona
The large yellow plastic barrels are camouflaged housings designed to look like construction equipment
They are being deployed in remote desert areas along highways
These new camouflaged cameras are a partnership between Flock and law enforcement and the plan is to use them extensively to track vehicle movement and broader surveillance
We are witnessing the surveillance state being established in America… this only ends in mass surveillance
Let me get this straight.
Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Commerce Secretary, got caught lying about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats grilled him about it and finally got him to agree to testify before the House Oversight Committee.
Four weeks later, Lutnick wrote a $5 million check to the super PAC that funds House Republicans, including members who sit on that committee. Then he showed up for a closed-door interview where, despite pushback from Democrats, no cameras or recordings were allowed.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history and it’s not even close.

Come with me as I learn about each person at the official Israeli delegation at today's Israel Day Parade in New York City.
These are the people some of my fellow Jewish and other New Yorkers demanded Mayor Mamdani stand with today.

This is extremely shameful.
🇦🇺Australian filmmaker Juliet said:
"I was raped by an Israeli soldier inside a darkened shipping container while handcuffed and shackled on a Gaza aid flotilla.
They also used water torture and beatings."
The matter is even more shameful when the whole world is silent and toothless on this 😭
There is no world in which this is okay.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney.
His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated.
If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself.
This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it.
The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next.
The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW.
Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
Gazze Şifa Hastanesi önünde yayın yapan, Çin Devlet Televizyonu CGTN muhabiri:
▪️"Kendi gözlerimle gördüm ki, 5 yaşın altında kafası olmayan en az 10 Filistinli çocuk vardı."
"Matamos a todos los palestinos de Tantura sin remordimientos".
"Yo era un asesino, en Tantura disparé hasta quedarme sin balas".
"Los soldados en Tantura violaron a mujeres palestinas y aparecieron medio muertas".
"En Tantura quemaron viva a la gente con lanzallamas".
Soldados sionistas recuerda la masacre a la aldea de Tantura en 1948... por lo que sea, no te hablarán de esto los medios de comunicación de esta masacre, esos mismos que solo hablan del 7 de octubre.
