British people: please stop thinking of the USA as your slightly eccentric transatlantic cousin, and instead regard it as the unhinged, dangerous, global bully, as everyone else does.

Palantir and Anthropic targeted Minab school, aided by Pentagon stale data and Hegseth psychopathy stripping target review staff.

And it was a triple tap, not a double tap. Children killed on first strike. Parents killed by second strike getting surviving children. Rescue workers killed by third strike rushing in after second strike.

Unforgivable.

The current American dream is, genuinely, to be presented with the opportunity to sue the living daylights out of a hilariously negligent municipal service so you can finally escape the permanent underclass

does the term “glazing” not derive from cum? i heard a student tell a professor today that her step dad was “glazing” him and i was really shocked but no one else moved

In the UK you can harass a Black professor to death, but you can’t protest a genocide

We're gonna do it, aren't we? We're actually gonna do it. We're gonna let greedy rich cunts cook the planet and suck it dry of energy and water just so bots can send emails to other bots. Un-fucking-believable.

Israel’s attacks on Lebanon have killed over 4,000 and displaced over 1 million people. Under this pressure, any health-care system would struggle. But in Lebanon, as in Gaza, medical workers are themselves targets, too. Since March 2, the World Health Organization has documented attacks that killed 135 health-care workers and injured 405 more.

“The paramedics Israel is targeting in Lebanon are volunteers — jeopardizing their lives not to earn a living, but to help in their spare time,” writes Mary Turfah. “Many of them have day jobs or are enrolled in university. They work on rotation." The risks they’re taking are clear. And they are offered the option to leave. Very few of them do.

As a doctor with family members who have been wounded in Lebanon by Israel’s bombs, Turfah wanted to visit the paramedics doing this vital work, and ask them why they risk their lives. “We started on this path to help people,” a 24-year-old medic named Hussein told her. “As much as we’re under threat, if I leave and someone else leaves and someone else leaves, who is going to rescue people?”

According to Trump's 20-point peace plan that everyone signed on to, Israel was supposed to stop striking Gaza, allow in humanitarian aid and stay within the yellow line (53% of Gaza) for now. They have done NONE of those things. And now, they're defying US plan for Hamas disarmarment and saying they won't withdraw from any of the 70% of Gaza they've taken.

Objectively, they're perpetual liars and they're obviously doing all this to take Palestinian land. There's no question about it - but US press won't ever tell you about all of Israel's violations, betrayals and lies. Because they view it as their job to lie to you to protect Israel's interests. That is enormously strange for a bunch of people pretending to be objective.

Take a moment to take in the scene around his bookstore. Now gone forever. It’s breathtaking. Israel extinguishes every spark of life it finds.

This is their MO. This is what they do.

I searched a Gaza war crimes archive for my family.

I quickly realized I wasn’t using it the way most people would. I wasn’t browsing it as an activist, researcher or journalist.

I was looking for my family.

My heart sank as I filtered the archive by the dates we lost them and searched for someone I loved.

I found footage I hadn’t seen before of the bombing of the Church of St. Porphyrius, where my cousin Soliman was killed.

I searched for the day my great aunt Elham was murdered, and the day Nahida and Samar Anton were killed by Israeli snipers at the Holy Family Catholic Church.

Eyewitnesses told us Elham was crushed by an Israeli tank. I have graphic photographs of her body that were sent to me by church workers in Gaza, but I found no footage of what happened.

It made me wonder how many people died without leaving behind any visual record.

The realization stayed with me.

Here was a digital graveyard where pieces of my own family history are preserved for journalists, historians, truth seekers and, undoubtedly, those seeking to exploit or consume human suffering.

I know I won’t be the only person to experience this. Other Palestinians searching for loved ones almost certainly will too. But it struck me that this is a form of grief that could scarcely have existed before our time.

It’s a form of grief I never imagined could exist.

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

Imagine having enough power to genuinely help many people yet being so loathsome that millions of people celebrate your death. The very worst people rise to the top in American politics. Thus it has always been.
