Anne Frank wasn’t beat or shot to death.

She died of typhus due to unhygienic conditions in her concentration camp.

ICE isn’t just killing the people it shoots.

A detention center is just a death camp by a different name.

And they’re quietly murdering everyday.

Another death in ICE custody: Prisciliano Trejo Ricano. He said this before he died:

The craziest thing about this chart is that the price hike all goes back to when food producers realized they could use COVID to artificially inflate prices and people would just keep paying it because they have to eat and then nobody ever stopped them or held them accountable.

Al Gore lost in 2000 as a centrist.

John Kerry lost in 2004 as a centrist.

Obama won in 2008 posturing as a progressive. (But then lost both chambers of Congress after being exposed as a centrist)

Hillary lost in 2016 as a centrist.

@TheDemocrats should have abandoned centrism decades ago.

A 25-year-old U.S. citizen was deported to Mexico by ICE after a traffic stop in Texas. His attorney says he had a U.S. birth certificate, Social Security card, and hospital records proving his citizenship, but agents refused to review them before deporting him.

Cet automne, pour la première fois depuis 250 ans, ma famille ne récoltera pas d'olives au Liban.

Nos 600 oliviers ont été arrachés du sol par l'armée israélienne, racines comprises, et emportés. Les plus vieux avaient 500 ans !

Cette terre, mon grand-père la tenait de son arrière-grand-père. En deux siècles et demi, ma famille a acheté de la terre. Elle n'en a jamais vendu un mètre, pas un seul jour. Chez nous, on ne construit pas sur la terre. On y plante. Ces arbres ont survécu à plusieurs guerres. Ils ont survécu à tout.

Regardez les deux photos. À gauche, notre terre le 25 juin, la veille de la signature de l'accord entre le Liban et Israël. À droite, la même terre le 20 juillet.

Il ne reste rien. Et c’est justement ça, la preuve. Un incendie laisse des troncs noirs debout. Une frappe laisse des cratères. Ici, pas un tronc calciné, pas une souche, pas un débris. Une terre nue, raclée, griffée par les chenilles des engins. Déterrer un olivier de 500 ans sans le tuer demande des pelleteuses, un savoir-faire, des camions et une destination. Ce n’est pas un dégât de guerre. C’est une opération, sur une terre où il n’y avait ni armes, ni combattants, ni présence militaire. Ma famille n'a jamais été liée de près ou de loin au Hezbollah, et elle ne le sera jamais. Il n'y avait que des arbres, et des gens qui les taillent depuis huit générations.

D'après les témoignages qui nous parviennent, ces arbres auraient été emportés de l'autre côté de la frontière, vers Israël.

L'accord signé entre le Liban et Israël, censé préparer la paix, protège les biens des civils. Je demande simplement qu'il soit appliqué : que le sort des arbres déterrés soit établi, que ceux qui sont encore vivants soient rendus. Si nos arbres sont vivants quelque part, ils peuvent revenir. Je ne cherche pas une vengeance. Je cherche une adresse !

J'ai hésité à écrire ces lignes, pour ne pas provoquer des réactions d'un côté comme de l'autre. Mais je refuse de faire le deuil de ces oliviers. Dans ces arbres vit l'âme de mon grand-père, ancien général de la police libanaise, un homme qui a toujours cru dans la paix, dans les humains et dans la lumière. Il taillait ces arbres à mains nues. Il répétait : “on ne vend pas la terre, on la transmet”
Je lui dois de ne pas me taire.

My entire childhood I was told the lie that Palestinians wanted to push the Jews into the sea.

While Israel has quite literally been pushing the Palestinians of Gaza into the sea, on live stream, for 1,023 days, and counting.

“He did not deserve to die. He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline.”

Federal agents fatally shot 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston early Tuesday morning, sparking widespread outrage across the country. Salgado Araujo was on his way to work with fellow crew members, three of whom were taken into ICE custody.

Family members say Salgado Araujo had no criminal record, and that he meticulously followed the immigration process. The family and community are mobilizing to demand justice and an independent investigation, with a demonstration scheduled for this evening.

Spending trillions to build out AI data centers proves that the American ruling class had the resources and ability to convert the grid to renewables and maybe save the planet but instead deliberately chose to cook us all and die for no reason but to produce demonic digital slop.

A thousand days, while the world stands by, entertained by our bloodshed.

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

A new Palestinian Feminist Collective report concludes that sexualized violence, including rape and sexual enslavement, has been used by Zionist militias and later the Israeli state as a deliberate tool of displacement, domination, torture, and control—from the Nakba to the present. The report demonstrates that the sexual humiliation, torture, rape, blackmail, and targeting of Palestinians since October 2023 are not aberrations but the continuation of a longstanding, institutionalized architecture of settler colonial violence.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Senator Cory Booker were revealed to be associated with Dialog, the secretive, invitation-only weirdo networking society co-founded by Peter Thiel.
Most of the media is leaving these guys off their list. Wonder why.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them.

This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.

Don’t worry guys it will trickle down soon!

CNN = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
CBS = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
FOX = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WaPo = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WSJ = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”

Death threats against me. A subpoena from Congress. Interviews cancelled and censored. A source indicted. Witnesses killed. Read the book that the corrupt national security state and criminal actors within it have fought tooth and nail to suppress. Now available in paperback.
