Was the 90% chance of war on Iran leaked to distract from this ?

This is where your money is going. Not healthcare, childcare, housing, transportation: poorly run prison camps for individuals and families.

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.

Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

💔"The photojournalism award went to the Associated Press photographers Abdel Kareem Hana, Jehad Alshrafi and Mariam Dagga for their portrayal of the severe food shortages in Gaza. Ms. Dagga was killed in an Israeli strike in August."

You should be as angry about this as you were about Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Paramount blocked Talarico to get Trump to back its bid to buy WBD.

Nexstar preempted Kimmel so Carr would let them buy Tegna.

Paramount cancelled Colbert right before their merger with Skydance went through.

Media consolidation leads to censorship. It’s not complicated.

My latest essay on how the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti exploded the illusion of safety in whiteness and the politics of facism in the Trump era. https://t.co/pUANqhQzQG

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.

Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.

This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

It’s the third day of the new year and the US is kidnapping presidents. #Venezuela

SNAP Held Hostage While People Starve. My latest: https://t.co/O4HzlfpyGL

[The Policy Fade @thepolicyfade]

Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire while food stamps are held hostage is so on brand for our dystopian hellscape.

Man, to write like this

Ezra Klein has clearly lost the plot. Such an offensive and intellectually dishonest take. Wild that he believes Kirk represented what America should be about.

You can openly argue Black people are inferior, that they should be murdered for precrime etc, and polite liberals will applaud you in the Times. Say “free Palestine” and they’ll accuse you of “Jew hatred” and fire you from your job. The disrespect liberals show for Black Americans is disgusting & disqualifying.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

[The Policy Fade @thepolicyfade]

Watching MSNBC and I feel like we’re in bizarro land. Contributors falling all over themselves to mourn and sort of praise Charlie Kirk. Wtf is happening? The man was toxic and represented all that is wrong with the hateful, reactionary politics of the American right wing.
