"In fact, Chicago’s 540 violent crimes per 100,000 residents is 121st among large cities (populations higher than 100,000), making it far safer than hellholes like Salt Lake City, Utah (864 per 100,000), Lubbock, Texas (821 per 100,000), and Des Moines, Iowa (703 per 100,000)."
If you’ve ever wondered why crime is higher in majority-Black, Democrat-controlled cities, you can just look at the data.
Spoiler alert: it’s not. https://t.co/CnxBjvGMmW
As the world watches the World Cup, the Israeli military is creating another generation of amputee athletes in Gaza. It was the US’ funding that facilitated the Israeli military’s targeting of athletes in 2021, and it's still the same money that's buying weapons to bomb Palestinians in Gaza.
In December of 2021, Palestine’s first-ever amputee football team was launched in Gaza City. The launch, historic in more ways than one, took place on the International Day for People with Disabilities. Players of the inaugural team were Palestinians who had been intentionally injured by the Israeli military during the Great March of Return.
Since its first “official” team was formed at the St. George’s School in Jerusalem in the early 1900’s, football has been more than a pastime to Palestinians. In the face of continued genocidal violence by the Israeli military, the continued presence and love of football in Palestine serves as a tremendous and bittersweet reminder of life, joy, and resistance.
Before the ongoing genocide, the Israeli military had already created a generation of Palestinian amputee athletes by deliberately targeting their limbs. Between March 30, 2018, and July 31, 2019, Israeli military snipers injured more than 7,500 Palestinians in Gaza during the Great March of Return weekly protests. Of 6,500 limb injuries, 148 directly resulted in amputations. This horrific number has increased exponentially since the Israeli government’s genocide.
1. You didn’t respond to my tweet? Do you want to start by deporting your immigrant in laws? Your immigrant father-in-law, after all, was a convicted criminal.
2. Washington actually had people called Muhammad fighting in his Continental Army. Have you ever read US history?
🚨SHOCKING: Republican Rep. Troy Nehls was asked how House Republicans will convince Americans they’re fighting to make life more affordable.
His answer: “I’m gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails… some nice rib eyes.”
Asked if the 60% living paycheck to paycheck can afford that, he replied: “Maybe the 60% of Americans don’t work as hard as I do.”
THIS is how they view Americans. THIS is what we should never forget.
If there was any doubt that Gov Jared Polis’ legacy is freeing Tina Peters, the NYT reports Polis just fired the clemency board members who revealed he overruled their unanimous wishes https://t.co/br5hwsDrYq
@latreille_nikki@knozferatu Roe V Wade was overturned in 2022 - under Biden and all subsequent state legislation that revoked and criminalized abortion! You salty bitches really out here doing revisionist history like Google doesn't exist.
Hasbara is now Hashtakah — to silence
This used to be called “Hasbara” (Hebrew for trying to “explain” Israel’s actions).
Hasbara has morphed into “Hashtakah” (Hebrew for silencing.)
The latest strategy is to engage in relentless shut-down campaigns against critics of Israel, including attempts at prohibiting protests, throwing people out of jobs, dismissal from schools, denial of awards, criminal charges, doxxing, slander and abuse.

I remember telling skeptical European diplomats in 2024 that the Gaza genocide will be a formative experience for an entire generation of Americans. That the politics around Israel will change in America faster than most have expected.
And I specifically told them that the kids at the Columbia, Harvard, MIT encampments are no ordinary kids. They are the future leaders of this country. At least one of them will run for president. Several will run for Senate. Even more for the House.
It's already happening.
Yair, like Greenblatt and the NYT and Atlantic more broadly, are central to selling endless Israeli violence, racism and dispossession to US liberals. So all the gang is together now
On the contrary, Yair Rosenberg is so sloppy, emotional, and dishonest, that he got into a fight with me over the terms of the Gaza ceasefire, got ratioed, blocked me from frustration, then quietly DELETED his tweets because they were wrong.
Why is the New York Times hiring him?
Hey Matt can you share a detailed list of Third Way’s donors? Since you guys don’t disclose them it would be edifying to see a complete list. Thanks in advance!

Apparently, the US sends billions every year in aid to QATAR (not Israel); US politicians make constant pilgrimages to QATAR (not Israel); Trump starts wars after QATARI leaders (not Israeli) travel 8 times to the WH to demand it; students at US colleges are deported and expelled for criticizing QATAR (not Israel); Trump imposed new campus hate speech codes to punish criticisms of QATAR (not Israel); QATARI loyalists (not Israeli loyalists) are buying up all American news, entertainment and social media (CBS/ Paramount/ Warner Bros/ CNN/ TikTok); dual QATARI citizens (not dual Israeli citizens) are Trump's largest funders; a pro-QATAR group (not pro-Israel) pours millions into our political system to keep politicians in line and remove them from office if they don't stay in line, etc.
Who knew, until hearing these grievances from Mark Levin, that it's QATAR (not Israel) driving every prong of US foreign policy and domestic politics?
WATCH: Here’s Major Jason Watson of the US Air Force holding a sign that reads:
Impeach/Convict/Remove!
You can see him getting arrested for protesting in uniform at the Capitol.
This guy’s a hero!
Let’s give him a medal for his service and bravery!
