@TheOnion How is it that The Fucking Onion is doing better journalistic work than 90% of the media. We truly live in the dumbest of times.

Every media outlet and politician in the west when you show them Israeli’s admitting to war crimes:

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Florida paid a portable toilet company called Doodie Calls more than $92 million over six months to haul wastewater out of the Everglades. The state projected it would pay Doodie Calls $480 million over two years. For comparison, building a sewage treatment plant for a city of 10,000 people costs about $5 million.

That is one vendor. At one facility. Built in eight days on an Everglades airstrip using hurricane disaster funds because Ron DeSantis declared immigration a state of emergency in 2023 to access a $5 billion fund set aside for floods and hurricanes.

The facility costs between $1.2 million and $3 million per day to operate. A conservative estimate puts the annual per-capita cost at $500,000 per detainee. Florida spends $30,000 a year to house a convicted criminal in a state prison. The math on Alligator Alcatraz is not tougher than a prison. It is more than sixteen times more expensive.

Three quarters of the men held there have never been convicted of a crime. They are awaiting civil immigration proceedings. They are being held in kennels - cages with steel mesh sides, 16 bunks, three toilets, brightly lit 24 hours a day. Amnesty International documented what it called deliberate neglect designed to dehumanize, including credible allegations of men held in stress positions in direct sunlight without food or water for hours at a time.

Governor Braun opened the Speedway Slammer at an Indiana prison. The Cornhusker Clink in Nebraska. The Louisiana Lockup at Angola. The naming contest is ongoing. The cruelty is the point. The cost is someone else's problem. Florida's emergency fund has dwindled to $200 million. The facility cannot run to the end of the year.

The men in the cages are still there.

If Israel is able to bug and wiretap the military's cell phones, I think you can safely assume that they're doing exactly the same thing to American citizens' cell phones to listen in on their communications. Which is exactly the reason why they're now claiming it's a lie.

Insane to think that all through the 90s we were told we absolutely had to let the Klan march in American cities to protect free speech and now they're withholding diplomas, firing people, imposing travel bans, qmd running weekslong smear campaigns for saying the word genocide.

What's amazing to me is that, 10 years apart, there are the exact same clouds in the exact same positions.

DC truly is a magical place

‼️🇺🇸: Elon Musk asked @grok to confirm if Congress was trying to silently attach an Israel-US military intelligence merger without We the People knowing. 👀

Grok said YES.

We need to RALLY and DEMAND 622 of S 4615 AND Section 224 of NDAA FY 27 be STRIPPED out of legislation!

Meet Skye, one of our newest rescues.

Just 4 days ago, she was found completely alone and covered in fleas on a dusty construction site. She was completely broken💔

The moment we saw her, we knew right away that something wasn't right with her leg. We later discovered that she had likely been hit by a car as a tiny puppy. With no one to help her, the injury healed all on its own, leaving her leg permanently stiff.

But Skye is a fighter. Today, the real healing begins. We are taking it one day at a time, teaching her how to walk again and rebuilding the confidence she lost. She knows she is safe now. 🐾❤️

@RachelBitecofer And the irony of that (same with the farmers) is that the vast majority of them voted for Trump all three times.

Can’t fix stupid.

@justprince Fun fact: leading up to and during the Holocaust a lot of people didn’t give a fuck about Nazi Germanys treatment of Jews.

Breaking news: Pedophile, Adam Hoffman, who was given a sweetheart deal by his friend, Ken Paxton, was forced to register as a sex offender in Nebraska. Paxton did not make him register in Texas! ⬇️

@cturnbull1968 That’s one of the reasons housing prices are high and just approving 7 million new houses does nothing in the short term to address the issues (of which there are several) with the housing market

[WORLD CUP TIX 1/2 PRICE @PhilipTKingston]

He literally cheered for the people protecting us from these threats being fired. Then he tried to make a DOGE copy in Texas

He's a horrible governor and a hypocrite who cares more about Trump than he cares about Texas ranchers and consumers

“I’m Jake Tapper, tonight correspondent Laura Loomer dives into Hunter Biden’s deranged trolling, Kellyanne Conway reveals Joe Biden fell asleep watching TV again, and Ian Miles Cheong confirms Biden is the reason he’s never left Malaysia. Those stories and Catturd, tonight.”

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

FBI records obtained through a Judicial Watch lawsuit reveal that a Butler County Sheriff’s deputy exchanged two emails with Trump shooter Thomas Crooks before the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt. The records remain heavily redacted, concealing the nature of the communications. The documents also reveal a SWAT officer recovered a cell phone and a remote device with an antenna from Crooks after he was killed.

[Dispropaganda @Dispropoganda]

Absolutely disgusting how this ex FOX news blowhard cheapens the DDAY anniversary by using that occasion to screech about his MAGA culture wars talking point.

Absolutely disgusting.
