All I’ll say is that you don’t get into something like this without agreeing with a fair amount of the shit he says

Like there are plenty of dudes with money out there, you chose this one for a reason 😭

Rest in power, Michael Brooks.

Hard to believe, it is six years already.
His voice was pivotal for me, and his impact lives on.

Reminder that Mitch McConnell, who is literally AWOL from the Senate, is currently in violation of actual Senate Rules.

Democrats, you might want to amplify this a bit more, or you could just keep attacking Abdul El Sayed.

🚨 REPORT: Congress finds that right-wing extremism is responsible for 80% of the domestic terrorism deaths since 2001.

🚨 DISGUSTING: Max Blumenthal confirms the US military intentionally bombed an Iranian hospital, destroying its ICU and IVF clinic.

He reveals Washington also deliberately obliterated a massive sports stadium just to sabotage Iran's FIFA competitions.

Pure state terrorism!

Marco Rubio: "Si no enfrentamos el socialismo y lo derrotamos, destruirá este país."

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

An FBI file marked "DO NOT DISSEMINATE" says Epstein and Maxwell kept a black book of names.

NPR found the public Epstein archive is missing 50+ pages, including an internal "prominent names" slide deck.

The DOJ says nothing was withheld.

We’re at an inflection point with unpopular sentiment against Flock. If we don’t nip this in the bud and get Flock shut down now then the moment will be gone and this kind of surveillance will be forever normalized. Unfortunately I don’t see the Patriot Act nation fixing it.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

is this a serious question? there are like 12 maoists in the us and no peasant base to mobilize. the ultra wealthy control every aspect of our lives from buying elections to eroding regulations. genuinely an embarrassing take.

A months-long Sky News investigation into the US double-tap strike on a Minab girls' school found the Pentagon had tracked the site by satellite since 1987 and could still count children's shadows in the courtyard before firing anyway.

What the evidence shows:

Three Tomahawk missiles fired from the USS Spruance, 716 kilometers away in the Arabian Sea, hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab on Feb 28, the opening day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Witnesses described a second strike hitting the exact spot where a teacher had moved surviving students for shelter, killing nearly everyone who had taken cover there. A third strike followed on the same site. Death tolls range from 156 to over 170, most of them girls aged seven to twelve. The school had been walled off from the adjacent IRGC naval base since at least 2015, had its own website, and was geolocatable through open-source materials any analyst could have pulled in minutes.

Built to fail:

The Pentagon's own machinery for preventing exactly this outcome had already been dismantled. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slashed the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence workforce by roughly 90 percent and cut CENTCOM's civilian casualty assessment team from ten people to one, months before the war started. A May Pentagon Inspector General report found the office had become a shell on paper with no budget, no mandate, no real mission. A functioning warning system was defunded on purpose, then blamed for not warning anyone.

Accountability buried:

Four months on, CENTCOM's commander told reporters the investigation was near complete, yet nothing has been released. Asked in June whether anyone would face consequences, Trump called it a strange question, adding that mistakes are made and war is nasty. The mistake was choosing not to fund the office that exists to catch mistakes like this one.

My take: A military that surveilled a schoolyard for four decades didn't fail to see the children, it decided in advance that seeing them wouldn't change the targeting. Nobody in this chain lacked information.

If Congress could do literally anything about this, that'd be great!

you’re doing your very best to kill the grassroots momentum by spending everyday attacking your left. perhaps you should try criticizing the trump admin some time!

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

we need states to start prosecuting these criminals.

[Donald Trump Portfolio Tracker @TrumpsPortfolio]

Trump stood at the State of the Union and demanded Congress ban stock trading by politicians.

His accounts made 21,285 trades last year. Eighty-five a day. While he was president.

He wasn’t describing a problem. He was describing himself.

Last night I was targeted and assaulted by a group of Zionist men. They repeatedly tried to hit me, and my friend’s lip was busted protecting me. Security had to intervene and remove them from the premises. Absolutely insane that this happened over us just existing.

This is what happened in WA w/ Flock. Many municipalities were receiving massive numbers of Flock data record requests, it was becoming an issue -- they paused contracts last year, turned cameras off, etc.

THEN... WA state passed a new law in March, providing cover for Flock and these municipalities by making data record requests illegal. No surprise, municipalities turned all their Flock cameras back on, defying the will of the people. This is tyrant behavior.
