🚨 BREAKING:
Francesca Albanese told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva:
"They put me on a metal table, pressed my chest and head against it, restrained my hands to the end of the bed, and pulled my legs forcefully."
"I felt a rod penetrate my anus and a man rape me. I started screaming, so they beat me on my back and head."
"While blindfolded, I felt a man rape me and ejaculate inside my anus. I kept screaming and being beaten, and I heard a camera, so I believe they were filming me."
"I can't describe what I felt. I wished I was dead. Every moment."
— UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese reads Palestinian survivors' accounts of rape, torture and killing in Israeli detention centers.
More than 18,500 people have been detained since Oct. 7. At least 100, including a child, have died in detention. Around 4,000 have also been forcibly disappeared.
"What was lost in Palestine will be lost to all of us."
Rudy Giuliani: "I remember Sept. 11, 2001. But I heard her say she was there that day. I was there that day. I don’t remember seeing Hillary Clinton there.”
Jon Stewart: The city began covering their ass 3 weeks after 9/11. There was poison in the air, and the ground, and in your air conditioners and covering your pets, and your clothes, and it stayed there for months. It's very clear that the city knew and rather than take the steps to ameliorate the damage, they instead covered it up to get back to business as usual, but unfortunately after 9/11, business will never be usual again.
Ha'aretz reports that Hamas, through Qatar, conveyed immediately on Oct. 7 that they were willing to return all the civilian hostages for nothing -- their only ask was for a mediator to arrange the exchange and establish a connection to then negotiate the further release of the soldiers. Israel refused to talk or hear about it.
So Qatar reached out to Antony Blinken to let him know that Hamas was willing to release all the civilian hostages.
Blinken told Qatar he didn't want to hear it because "Israel is still under attack, and there's no one to talk to."
Blinken had the opportunity to free every single civilian hostage and de-escalate the situation. Instead he wanted war.
Rudy Giuliani publicly told Zohran Mamdani that it is “inappropriate” for Zohran to go to the 9/11 memorial.
On the next day, Mamdani released 170,000+ pages of documents exposing that Giuliani’s administration lied to the public, because they knew about the toxic air after 9/11, all to get people back to work.
This is the biggest political check mate of our time I fear…
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
This kind of shit makes my blood boil. If they stop Social Security that means since I was 14, I was forced against my will to pay an illegal tax. And I want every fucking dome back with 15% compounding interest plus money for pain and suffering because I’m the victim of a crime.
Clip from a documentary about the Evangelicals who send Israel $129,000,000 annually. It was almost shown on PBS but lobbyists got it banned from the air. In this clip, they make Christian kids bring in their piggy banks to empty the change to donate to Israel.

🚨 BREAKING:
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese:
"My credit card doesn't work, I can't pay or make transfers; my health insurance was canceled, and I can't book hotels. I feel like Pablo Escobar. All because I said, 'Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.'"
Hi @ADL once you’re done condemning a singer for ‘completely unacceptable’ criticism of a foreign government at a concert, could you maybe say a word about the Jewish American Summit you sponsored last month where a speaker told all Muslims to get the f**k out of America? Doable?
Just to be clear: Pete Hegseth fired a full bird colonel with 23 years of service to America, which include multiple tours of combat, because he accurately described Israel and its politicians.
🚨 BREAKING:
Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed for the release of the Epstein files.
