Just yesterday Israel detonated 1,100 tons of bombs and explosives in southern Lebanon which was so destructive and powerful it created a 4 magnitude earthquake but none of your jaws dropped. It was funded by your tax dollars too btw.

🚨 Republican candidate Mike Rogers voted against healthcare funding for 9/11 first responders on four separate occasions.

Friendly reminder that the combined and concerted efforts of the entire palantir/military-tech complex have proven wholly unsuccessful in securing control over a minor channel of water less than 50 kilometers wide

"Fort Pierce police officer, Josepher Crutchfield, was arrested and slapped with four felony counts of unauthorized computer access after a criminal investigation revealed he was using the city’s ALPR network as his own personal stalking device."

We have statements from prominent conservative leaders Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson only a few days after 9/11, blaming 9/11 on gay people, women, abortion, and secular society, a sentiment shared by Bin Laden himself.

Democratic socialist David Morales just beat incumbent Providence Mayor Brett Smiley in the Democratic primary.

He’s a 27-year-old democratic socialist who was endorsed by Bernie Sanders and was outspent five-to-one.

Smiley spent more than $2 million in TV and donor money. He vetoed rent stabilization and took max checks from real estate developers.

Morales ran on rent caps. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani would definitely be proud!

Smiley becomes the first sitting Providence mayor to lose a Democratic primary.

The consultant class lost again.

Congratulations to ambassador @DavidM_Friedman on enjoying a cup of coffee with a man who tried to murder me — a known terrorist who has menaced and brutalized Palestinians for years and led the effort to steal vast swaths of Palestinian American-owned-land. You’re a traitor!

A Utah uranium mine zipped through federal review in 11 days–giving tribes only one week to weigh in. Now the U.S. wants to quadruple nuclear power by 2050.

The UN Human Rights Council just confirmed US blockade against Cuba violates human rights and international law, citing Article 33 of Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits collective punishment.

The US is starving and killing babies in Cuba just like Israel is starving and killing babies in Gaza.

The U.S. sanctions against Cuba must be lifted immediately. This’s a crime against humanity.

If you’re wondering whether it’s a federal crime to buy or sell votes (using money as an incentive to sway how a person votes) - it is.

Her name was Sarah Hasan Mosa, six years old.
Last year, an israeli quadcopter drone opened fire on her in Khan Younis, shot her in the head.
She was later evacuated to Jordan after a long wait.
Today, Sarah succumbed to her injuries.

How’s that law suit against the NY Times going, @netanyahu?

White people selling weed on the same street where cops used to beat up Black people in my city for selling weed.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

Nah. You totally waited. Waited until there were no functional hospitals, until the death toll rose in the thousands, waited until they were dropping white phosphorus on civil population, you just waited....did NOTHING to stop the genocide.

While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

[Sam Haselby @samhaselby]

The US killed almost a million people who had nothing to do with 9/11, El-Sayed is right. Everyone knows this.

[Whitney Webb @_whitneywebb]

Sorry, but it's not just Anthropic. Palantir has been working on predictive policing and surveillance of dissidents for the US government for well over a decade. The goal of the Bush admin immediately after 9/11 was pre-crime via "Total Information Awareness" and they have been building it ever since, through the privatization of that program as Palantir. And there are other companies working toward this end to, all with ties to US intelligence or top US officials (Satellogic, SpaceX, Axon/Carbyne, etc.)

Anthropic may be "building" their own private equivalent, but this is something the government and its other private contractors have already built. Under the first Trump admin, Bill Barr as AG created the legal framework for pre-crime. They are just waiting on the right excuse or justification to scale it.

We have to realize how far along this is if we really want to stop it. It is now many companies ushering in a pre-crime paradigm, all with State backing.

Lana (12) and Bana (8) who were killed by Israel today with their parents in north Gaza.

On this day in 1962, a mob of white people fired on the home of Joe and Rebecca McDonald, an elderly African American couple in Ruleville, Mississippi, because they helped Black people register to vote.
