One of the best videos of @ACTBrigitte answering questions from pro-Palestinian activists.

She doesn’t back down. She doesn’t play politics. She answers with facts, history, and conviction.

25 years since 9/11.
Never forget that Palestinians celebrated the attack. 🇺🇸

"I like to quote the founder and proprietor of Our World in Data, who said that the papers could have had the headline: “187,000 people escaped from extreme poverty yesterday, every day for the last 30 years.” But you never saw that headline, and as a result, a billion people escaped from extreme poverty. One of the most significant events in human history, and no one knows about it."

@actingliketommy @emmma_camp_ You’re right, they should be swept up and forcibly moved to the gulags

This video of 9-11 in 2001 is trending in 2026 because many are saying it's the first time they've seen the video. It shows the plane hitting the second tower.

Hot take: the word ”buy” should be protected.

If it’s a license for usage (software, tractors etc), it should be ”rent/lease a license” 🤷‍♂️

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that Hamas filmed themselves murdering, looting, and kidnapping women, children, men and elderly people over the age of 80 from their homes, while openly celebrating the violence online, and yet so much of the world was somehow shocked when Israel fought back.

APPLEBAUM: This group of dictators, Russia, North Korea, Iran, China, not linked by any ideology.

They’re not bothered about whether Iran is theocracy, or China is communist country.

What links them is set of common interests. Their common interest in fighting us, essentially.

Their common interest in stealing money, hiding it, exporting it, and storing it around the world.

They see us as having ideas and language dangerous to them, such as accountability, transparency, or rule of law.

They have created different ways in which they can work together. It’s not like a single alliance.

It’s not like Cold War, where they had one treaty, all did the same thing or talked the same way all the time.

They cooperate in different ways. You can see it, for example, in Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Where North Koreans have just sent troops to help Russians, Chinese are supplying them with components.

Iran has supplied drones to Russia, and Russians in turn supply drones to Iran. That's how they cooperate.

@omgsidewalks The book had such a dud of an ending. The last quarter of it felt like the author was unsure where the story should go.
