Several days ago, I received a threatening letter informing me that I am "moving up on 'the List," and that I am "fucked."
The letter calls me a "kapo," indicating its authorship by a Zionist fanatic, possibly affiliated with an outfit like JDL Brotherhood 613, or from Betar dead-enders who advocate violence against perceived enemies of Israel.
I opened this letter as Israel-backed Trump admin allies like Laura Loomer portrayed me as a national security threat and demanded my persecution for reporting from Iran, and as the Trump admin harassed me by illegally seizing my phones.
I am not the only person to have received these letters. Howard Heath, a state representative in New Hampshire who is campaigning for Congress on a pledge to cut off military aid to Israel, also reported receiving a letter from the same "Yoor Dedmeet."
The return address applied to the letter is the field office of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian member of Congress. To me, this indicates that she and her staff could also be targets of whichever malicious individual or group sent the letter.
I have filed a report with local police and informed the US Postal Service Inspector of this threatening letter.
To the best of my knowledge I have never met a member of the IRGC. Neither expressed “a positive opinion” about them. An English woman named Shabana Mahmood has just made it punishable by 14 years in prison so to do so as a free-born Scotsman I will have to reconsider that. So far as I’m aware - as a UK legislator across five decades - this is the first time I have been explicitly told that I can go to prison literally for my opinion. For those of you cheering, remember, it will be your opinion next.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Under Israeli pressure, US seizes Max Blumenthal's devices on return from reporting trip to Iran
Blumenthal was targeted with smears by an Israeli doxxing outfit and Laura Loomer when he arrived in Iran to report on Ali Khamenei’s funeral and the war

Can we just… drop the facade of morality here for a minute and speak candidly?
Iran is RIGHT for striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. I said it, I don’t care if you like it. You’re lying to yourself if you want to act like it’s wrong.
The United States launched a war of aggression against a sovereign country, and this is an obvious and long-identified defense maneuver meant to create asymmetric downside against an overwhelmingly more powerful military adversary.
“Ohhhh but it’s wronggg. What about international lawwwww”
Last I checked, slaughtering 120 schoolchildren in Minab is against international law. Last I checked, launching a war of aggression against a sovereign nation like we see here is against international law. Last I checked, bombing water storage and infrastructure facilities is against international law…
… last I checked, the United States killed three Indian sailors in the Strait of Hormuz by attacking a civilian vessel.
“Ohhhhh but maritime lawwww. UNCLOS”
Y’all check on Cuba lately? The last delivery of oil to Matanzas was the Anatoly Kolodkin in MARCH. The United States is the SOLE reason the Universal couldn’t deliver in May. They have blackouts for 22 hours a day. Their hospitals can’t function.
You can whine all you want about morals and ethics, but maybe take a second to realize how stupid you sound doing it.
It's laughable to hear Ryan Grim say he won't cover @cmkshama cz she isn't “serious”, doesn’t have a “hook” & isn’t competitive.
How is this not gate-keeping for Democrats?
Says he covered Zohran when polling 1% cz he had a hook: interviewing Trumpsters in the street. Whereas Sawant’s fight for $15 that kicked off a national movement & her challenge to Adam Smith, who initiated the Isrl-US defense tech merger, isn’t newsworthy?

Lindsey Graham's death is a significant loss for Israel.
The reason is only partly because Graham was a fanatical supporter of Israel and its regional agenda.
More importantly, politicians like Graham used to be norm in the United States, but are slowly but surely on course to become the exception and increasingly difficult to replace.
RIP Lindsey Graham. When I did alt-comedy in DC there were like a half dozen really talented methheads in the scene who all fucked him for cash, which basically made him a patron of the arts
2022 🇷🇺: “Somebody in Russia [should] take [Putin] out.”
2023 🇷🇺:“Russians are dying… best money we’ve ever spent.”
2023 🇵🇸: “Gaza should be flattened.”
2024 🇵🇸: “This is Hiroshima & Nagasaki on steroids.” “If I were Israel, I’d do the same.” “Do whatever you have to do.” “Pull the Palestinian school system up by its roots and destroy it.”
2025 🇵🇸: “We’re killing all the right people.”
2026 🇮🇷: “We will obliterate them” over Strait of Hormuz.
I’m shocked that so many people are mourning his death. Mourning a monster doesn’t humanize the monster. It dehumanizes the mourner.
“Do you think Israel should allow food into Gaza?”
🇮🇱: “No.”
“Even for the children?”
🇮🇱: “No. None of them deserve it.”
This is the racist logic that fuels every bomb, every bullet, every blocked aid truck.
