every single one of those cars, and every person who was in those cars, was killed by Israeli Apache helicopters. Hamas literally could not carry the kind of heavy weapons required for this damage.

Israel is accustomed to lying their way through life, but the world is waking up and are not so easily fooled anymore.

What a weird way of saying ISRAEL KILLED Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil.

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.

The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.

Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.

I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.

Matt Walsh and these other right-wing empty men who think they're avatars of über-masculinity particularly hate Alex Pretti because he exemplified the virtues they love to extol but are too cowardly to actually embody.

They cosplay as trad men by dressing up in campy plaid shirts and sitting in podcast studios with a log cabin aesthetic.

Alex Pretti went to the street to fight for causes he believed in, protected and helped others in both how he protested (he was helping two women when ICE grabbed him) and in his work as an ICU nurse. He lived the values they pretend defines them, all while they lack the courage to ever do or risk anything. He's a reminder to them of what they're not: a mirror showing their own fragility.

That's why they feel vicariously strong watching ICE agents shoot him in the back and killed him.

Bush had "WMDs in Iraq."

Obama had "Viagra troops in Libya."

Trump 1.0 had "chemical weapons in Syria."

Biden had "October 7th."

Trump 2.0 has "Narco-Terrorism"

Lies and fabrications are an essential weapon of US warfare.

And we are being lied into war again with Venezuela.

@zadokq244514 @aaronjmate False quote, false attribution. Hillary is terrible enough that we don't have to invent quotes to smear her by association; just clipping her saying awful stuff is revealing enough.

Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani in 1970:

You don't exactly mean 'peace talks; you mean capitulation, surrendering?

Watching the MAGA loyalists assemble into their usual cheerleading formation to praise this -- a slightly more chest-thumping continuation of Biden's policy, which they uniformly hated -- is one of the most vivid illustrations of partisan brain-damage you can ever hope to witness

When fascism comes to America, it will be with a parody caricature of an Italian-American telling you that the 1st Amendment isn’t for “those people.”

[Michael Tracey @mtracey]

"This isn't about free speech" is such an absurd deflection re: the Khalil situation. Admin officials have made abundantly clear that he's been targeted and punished for his political speech. They've openly announced it. Rarely has anything been more obviously "about free speech"

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

The US regime won’t tell American citizens that it has declared war on Yemen. That’s because its motives are so sordid, and so divorced from any concept of national security, it could not explain why it is there. It cannot allow Americans to know that their military is engaged in a massive and costly deployment to protect Israel, a tiny apartheid state with an omnipotent lobbying apparatus, from the consequences of the Holocaust it is waging in Gaza. Because then they might begin to wonder who’s really giving the orders.

Never let them tell you it wasn’t a Holocaust…

Hunter Biden was advancing a CIA project in Ukraine to swing the natural gas market towards NATO & that’s why he’s untouchable.
