Hi

Journalist @AbbyMartin of The @EmpireFiles and @adamjohnsonCHI of @CitationsPod break down the media’s complicity in manufacturing the conditions for the illegal US-Israeli war with Iran. therealnews.com/iran-the-war-w…

@blatant_pod Why do you sound like chipmunks

I didn't mean to talk about the Iran war the whole episode, but we definitely did. Tap in and hear the best breakdown of the situation you're going to find anywhere.

@BYE__PASS @BrettSiegelNBA Ringless Elgin Baylor was inducted in 1977

@BrettSiegelNBA HOF gets anybody there now.. flat. Full. Pointless. Back in the day it's just Larry and MJ.. then everyone gets their cause their nice or played forever.. No championships no HOF.

If you don't think CP3 is a Hall of Famer... I really don't know what to say to be honest with you.

GRAPHIC: CBP officers shoot another person in Minneapolis at point-blank range. Footage obtained exclusively by BT shows federal officers on Nicollet Ave. on top of a man on the ground, before one CBP officer pulls his gun and repeatedly fires. Witnesses say that after the shooting CBP then walked down the block filming bystanders. Nothing else is known at this point about what preceded this, the identity of the man shot, or his current condition. FBI agents and an ambulance are at the scene.

The EPA will no longer consider how many lives are saved when setting pollution limits, the New York Times reports. Instead, it will consider the cost to businesses of complying with clean air regulations.

I don't care what newfangled explanations we have for gather steps, stepbacks, what have ya, this is absurd.

In Ep 231, "How To Oppose Genocide Without Opposing Genocide Part 2: AIPAC Dems' Fake Israel Criticisms," we detail the buyers' market for superficial Gaza critiques that permit ambitious Dems to look pro-Palestine without the downside of actually being so soundcloud.com/citationsneede…

For @thenation and @typeinvestigate, I looked into American Landmark, a major landlord filing evictions far more than the national average. I found they are owned by an Israeli company with ties to the IDF, including during the Gaza genocide. (1/10) thenation.com/article/societ…

@KeithSmithNBA I hate it 😭

Not a fan of the way ESPN has changed their NBA box scores.

@EricTopol @ScottGottliebMD @jeremyfaust @PeacockFlu @dr_kkjetelina @sophie_gardnerJ @PeterHotez I don't see how I can continue modeling when access to ED, wastewater, and genomic data has been cut.

GISAID is now blocking genomic sequencing access to critical resources like Nextstrain, Covspectrum, Outbreak.info, & others. This makes us less safe, as live tracking of viral evolution remains critical for assessment of emerging threats. This needs to be escalated.

In this News Brief we detail how the AP, Atlantic, WaPo, NYT are accepting Trump's framing that his attacks on Venezuela and Colombia are about "going after drug cartels" when it's clear they are—based on Trump's own words—about controlling Venezuela's oil soundcloud.com/citationsneede…

In this News Brief, "Media Helps Sell ICE Raids with Zero Dark Thirty Ride-Along Schlock," we discuss NYT, NBC, Fox, CBS and ABC's "embedded reports" of ICE raids that prime the public for brutal crackdowns on undocumented immigrants. with @matthewccook5 soundcloud.com/citationsneede…

🚨 BREAKING: Drop Site’s Ryan Grim reports U.S. officials knew within hours that the Rafah explosion – which Netanyahu used to justify halting all Gaza aid and resuming airstrikes – was actually caused by an Israeli settler bulldozer running over unexploded ordnance, not a Hamas tunnel attack. Despite that, Netanyahu blamed Hamas, suspended aid, and ordered new bombings. After Washington told Israel it knew the truth, Netanyahu quietly announced he would reopen the crossings “in a few hours.”

In this News Brief, "The Billionaire-Backed Groups Working to Push Dems Right in 2026 & 2028" we detail the major factions seeking to rewrite the history of the 2024 election as "woke" gone too far, downplay Gaza, and prevent economic populism at all costs soundcloud.com/citationsneede…

@esidery Why do you project Moody over Podz?

"I wasn’t against communism, but i can’t say i was for it either. At first, i viewed it suspiciously, as some kind of white man’s concoction, until i read works by African revolutionaries and studied the African liberation movements. Revolutionaries in Africa understood that the question of African liberation was not just a question of race, that even if they managed to get rid of the white colonialists, if they didn’t rid themselves of the capitalistic economic structure, the white colonialists would simply be replaced by Black neocolonialists. There was not a single liberation movement in Africa that was not fighting for socialism. The whole thing boiled down to a simple equation: anything that has any kind of value is made, mined, grown, produced, and processed by working people. So why shouldn’t working people collectively own that wealth? Why shouldn’t working people own and control their own resources? Capitalism meant that rich businessmen owned the wealth, while socialism meant that the people who made the wealth owned it. I got into heated arguments with sisters or brothers who claimed that the oppression of Black people was only a question of race. I argued that there were Black oppressors as well as white ones. That’s why you’ve got Blacks who support Nixon or Reagan or other conservatives. Black folks with money have always tended to support candidates who they believed would protect their financial interests. As far as i was concerned, it didn’t take too much brains to figure out that Black people are oppressed because of class as well as race, because we are poor and because we are Black. … [Earlier in my life] When someone asked me what communism was, i opened my mouth to answer, then realized i didn’t have the faintest idea. My image of a communist came from a cartoon. It was a spy with a black trench coat and a black hat pulled down over his face, slinking around corners … I never forgot that day. We’re taught at such an early age to be against the communists, yet most of us don’t have the faintest idea what communism is. Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is… It’s got to be one of the most basic principles of living: always decide who your enemies are for yourself, and never let your enemies choose your enemies for you."
