Mitch Alvarado, Season 2

'Oh mesh-gear fox, pull another bag of tricks from your scientific box' -- I'm the Mitch Alvarado from Bunheads

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

trump amassed an armada surrounding iran and israel, he signaled that this was coming for 12 days. the dem leadership did nothing BECAUSE they wanted trump to strike iran. enough w the lies. they’re not this incompetent. foreign policy is uniparty. israel wanted this for decades.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Why are democrats lead by people who are profoundly contemptuous of their voters’ preferences? Repeatedly over and over again? How is this a democracy in any meaningful sense?

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

They are not weak or spineless, they agree with attacking Iran but for obvious reasons cannot openly say so, so their primary job is stalling and delaying so Trump could do their dirty work for them

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

We visit so much evil on this world. What level of arrogance must one country have to insist that a deal between Hondurans and Cubans, which both obviously find beneficial, must end because our lunatics in South Florida don't like it?

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

you can use outright Nazi rhetoric in America and maintain a position of power and influence as long as the group you're saying it about is Muslims

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

guys I'm starting to think "the west" may not actually be interested in human rights

[Greg @GregGrandin]

The law that empowers Trump is Clinton’s, the paramilitary that Trump deploys was built by Bush jr and Obama. The war on drugs is half a century old. And it was Clinton who both militarized the border and turned “illegal alien” into a term of political art. So sure, Trump.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Pretty surreal. Masked ICE agents and Israeli soldiers apparently both get billions of your taxes to shoot people, and then block ambulances from saving those people.

And then you risk getting kidnapped or killed for even questioning that.

[patrick "inverted vibe curve" blanchfield @PatBlanchfield]

really wish the “opposition” party had not spent years upon years trying to outdo the GOP in lavishing money arms and deference on state security forces

[Sturgeon's Law @Sturgeons_Law]

This is real "civilizational decline," but the people who usually use language like that don't care about it.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

What if I told you the real welfare queens in America are the Walton family of Walmart worth $488 billion & Jeff Bezos of Amazon worth $255 billion who pay wages so low their workers rely on food stamps, Medicaid & public housing subsidized by U.S taxpayers? That’s mass looting.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

sorry guys, time to reset the “Days without someone photographed on Epstein’s private jet accusing Doctors Without Borders of being Hamas” sign to zero

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Beyond fake, the fakest thing of all time

[Mohammad Alsaafin @malsaafin]

Does Jake Tapper talk like this about Benjamin Netanyahu, responsible for the murder of more than 250 journalists? Why not?

[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

An Arab comes to town and suddenly the mainstream media's best know faces remember killing journalists is bad. Meanwhile, Israel set a record for killing journalists and none of this was said when Netanyahu was here.

[Mike from PA @Mike_from_PA]

This is exactly correct, it is now known that Larry Summers, Obama's chief economic advisor and major enemy of the progressive left, was close to Jeffrey Epstein as late as 2018.

Corporate Dems are JUST AS COMPLICIT with Epstein as Trump, that's why they want to cover it up.
