Blatant war crimes. This is what our tax dollars are funding.

Sexual violence against Palestinians in Israeli prisons and detention centers constitutes a de facto state policy, used as a tool of subjugation and destruction, with a sharp escalation since October 7, 2023, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor found in a new report titled “Another Genocide Behind Walls.”

The report documents direct sexual assault, rape and assault with objects, and torture targeting genitals, as well as organized practices including filming and the collective presence of security personnel during assaults — evidence the report says points to the institutional and systematic nature of the crimes.

The Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian reported some of the details. More details in linked thread. 🧵

We’ve bombed 763 schools and 316 health facilities per the Iranian Red Crescent. Monstrous indefensible crimes.

In the last 3 (!) negotiations with Iran, the U.S.-Israel have killed the negotiators, including Kamal Kharrazi, 81, who died from his injuries today. His wife was almost killed.

Israel also killed Hamas negotiators every chance they got. We are the least self aware people to ever live.

“He didn’t literally mean he would wipe out an entire civilization”

Then he shouldn’t have fucking said it.

He’s the President of the United States. He has sole launch authority over the world’s most sophisticated nuclear arsenal, and words mean things.

Remember when you used to get called a conspiracy theorist if you said the USA’s military budget is to blame for our lack of properly funded social programs?

They’re not even subtle.

From Puerto Rico, to Cuba, to Venezuela, to Palestine, to every other nation that the U.S. has invaded and oppressed, the greatest moral failure in American life is that the average citizen simply does not care what their government does to brown people around the world.

These are crimes of the highest order, to kill children because you’re too lazy to check whether your target is a school. Either that or you’re trying to produce terror by killing children. Either way this needs to be prosecuted.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Wait a second, NYT: “But we are not on the ground in Iran.”

Huh? Why not? We had a reporter at this school within hours and we’re a small nonprofit that publishes on Substack. You’re a publicly traded company. What do you spend your budget on if not reporting on the ground?

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

American soldiers are parents, gardeners, students - but the 100 sailors they torpedo and leave to drown in violation of the Geneva conventions are just cannon fodder?

Stop humanising your death cult and keep them at home instead.

I still can’t process the fact the White House is openly boasting of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and against the law of the sea. 200 young men returning from a ceremonial naval exercise thousands of nautical miles away from the conflict zone, a ship with no active weapons as it was in India on an invitation to participate in a naval event/festivity which includes sporting events between sailors, last thing they would expect is to be a military target. Not only attacked and sunk but then left to drown, Nazi U-Boats would help rescue the sailors of the ships they sank, when the British and Spanish sank each other’s galleons and frigates they would pull the sailors out of the water and leave them at the nearest port… it is an age old law amongst seamen and also part of the Geneva Convention

I want to fucking cry, tens of thousands of innocent people slaughtered without a care in a world, just so that the capitalists can expand their empire further, all on top of the body of a nation that suffered for the last 70 years. You cant hate these people enough.

There was no gunman, or shooting at the Guadalajara airport; incidents of people taking cover and hiding in videos circulating online were provoked by mass panic in the aftermath of CJNGs riots; Panic likely amplified by false online posts and frightened low information tourists.

[Embassy of Mexico in the U.S. @EmbamexEUA]

On social media and across various news outlets, false reports circulated about the arrest of Rubén “N,” alias “El Mencho”:

❌ False that attacks against civilians took place at the Guadalajara Airport

❌ False that attacks were carried out against the general population in Jalisco

❌ False that members of organized crime were holding U.S. tourists hostage

❌ Fake photograph of a plane on fire in Guadalajara

❌ False that gunmen took over the facilities of the
Guadalajara Airport

❌ False that U.S. military personnel participated in the arrest of Rubén “N” in Mexico

The nexus of affordability, populism, and distrust in government is going to lead to a piling on tax gimmicks (no tax on tips, property tax rates for old people, 199A) such that the only taxpayers left in this country are w-2 workers earning between $80,000 and $250,000
