Voter fraud is so rare that a person is more likely to get struck by lightning than to cast a fraudulent ballot.

So why does Trump keep bringing it up?

To use it as a pretext to sabotage the midterms.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.

The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.

America must secure her release NOW.

Commentators are pinning low fertility rates on everything from feminism to smartphones.

But they miss one glaring factor: capitalism, an economic system predicated on individual autonomy and naked self-interest whose incentives run counter to child-rearing. https://t.co/B4adNpciaW

"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.

The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.

@jeremycorbyn @Quickieleaks And out of US healthcare data along with personal data, data centers, and of course their targeting of military and nonmilitary sites in the Iran war

This was HEARTBREAKING

Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, exposed Israel:

"I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."

@GENE1883695 @Rossy3xe It shud read He never did have a very astute brain. Now it is worse because of dementia.

[Rise Up Times @touchpeace]

@GENE1883695 @Rossy3xe What is the purpose of writing such nonsence. Hence did have that good a brain. Now it is worse because of dementia.

[Rise Up Times @touchpeace]

@Rossy3xe E that is not in any way

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

It's easy to point at Jillian Segal and make fun of how crazy and stupid she is, but the Albanese government is the only reason her craziness and stupidity is a problem.

The thing about Segal and all these "antisemitism advisors" they're setting up in western governments is that they're just random people with strong political opinions who are being elevated to ridiculous levels of influence. They're not experts, they're just people who happen to hold the political opinion that it should be illegal to criticize the state of Israel.

Which wouldn't normally be an issue; our society is full of individuals with terrible political opinions. The problem is that our government has selected these cartoonishly ridiculous Zionists to help shape policy in immensely consequential ways that erode the civil liberties of our nation. Our leaders are the ones to blame for these inept lunatics wielding absurd levels of influence; left to their own devices they'd just be harmless idiots. They're only harmful because they're being given the power to do harm.

Israeli settlers vandalised the primary and only water pipeline supplying the Arab al-Tabana Bedouin community, cutting off its sole water source near Khan al-Ahmar in the occupied West Bank.

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

Over 3,000 innocent people have been killed in Lebanon by the Israeli military & over a million displaced.

We are talking about children, elders, & loved ones.

I urge my colleagues to support @RepRashida's War Powers Resolution on the floor this week & act to end this war now.

BREAKING

U.S. Congressman Thomas Massie:

“Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors — instant peace.”

“Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.”

John Bolton, according to CNN, will plead guilty to a felony of mishandling classified information, with a fine of $2 million and possible prison time.

Bolton previously urged that Edward Snowden be executed, and Julian Assange be imprisoned for life, for informing the public.

[Rise Up Times @touchpeace]

@jacobin Corruption at every level to make a buck and who cares if the planet dies. Inexcusable while Trump declares Dems trying to steal governor and LA mayor elections in CA -usual election propaganda. Gets very old and so transparent. Meanwhile US/Israeli Iran war continues.
