We have CNN anchors admitting on air that they’re censoring, at the behest of a foreign govt, their reporting on yet another illegal and immoral war that our govt is yet again waging and the premiere free speech org in the country is still talking about a racist podcaster

caution narrative designers and other gamedev contractors. do not work with Sentona Games. stella goes on to say in another post that they emailed her back and have no plans to pay her for her work, ever

@mboudry Brandolini's law: The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it My 3 part essay that systematically debunks your essay Part 1 open.substack.com/pub/0millennia… Part 2 open.substack.com/pub/0millennia… Part 3 open.substack.com/pub/0millennia…

🇮🇱Israeli youth destroy their draft letters in protest, refusing service in a military carrying out genocide.

🚨The most easily debunkable garbage: 1- Gaza's Social Development Ministry (not Khamas) is handing out $150 per widow to ANY WOMAN who lost her spouse in the genocide (read the ad yourself). 2- The number 19,306 is not the total, but ONLY this Phase of aid (the program is divided into phases). 3- The ministry also announced a similar program of $150 per spouse of any Palestinian kidnapped or disappeared by Israel. 4- Multiple peer reviewed studied show the Gaza death count of over 71,000 is an extreme undercount. The IDF itself admitted on Jan 26, 2026 that the 71,000 figure is accurate. 5- Israel's own (exaggerated & arbitrary) internal data shows the IDF killed at most 8900 Hamas & Islamic Jihad members (not militants, not in combat). Meaning 87.5% of causalities are civilians. 6- Hamas rockets dropped sharply by Nov 2023 per Israel's own admission (source below). Death toll back then was about 10,300. Since then, Hamas has been firing at most 1-2 projectiles every few days until they ceased almost completely within 2024. In Oct 2024, Netanyahu himself said over 90% of Hamas' weapons have been depleted/destroyed. Plus, there is no credible source on Hamas misfired rockets. It's only the IDF's word you're quoting here. 7- Natural deaths are NEVER recorded in the Health Ministry genocide causalities. Show one example that proves otherwise?!? The Health Ministry is strict in recording the circumstances of death because there are consequences to registering someone as a war causality (e.g. Palestinian gov having to pay the family stipends). See sources below👇

Israeli soldiers fired nearly 1000 bullets during the massacre of 15 Palestinian aid workers in southern Gaza on March 23, 2025 according to a joint investigation by the independent research groups Earshot and Forensic Architecture. #EndIsraelsImpunity open.substack.com/pub/dropsitene…

what she actually said was that republicans love to try to ban queer-inclusive sex ed by calling it pornographic, and they responded by immediately proving her right.

Why anti-Zionism can't properly be treated as antisemitism for purposes of federal civil rights law, in ~ 2 minutes (Full hearing: youtu.be/uJ_k0v_jmZ8?t=…)

A line by line refutation of Bari Weiss’s so-called reasonable editorial directives: 1. The New York Times and 60 Minutes are different formats for different audiences. 60 Minutes regularly covers stories that have been covered in print. And, given the production time involved, it would be weird if they covered stories that print media has ignored. They’re supposed to cover the top stories and ask the hard-hitting questions. 2. Is the question really if the Administration regrets its actions? Because they have never expressed anything resembling regret or apology. They’re literally making memes about it still. Of course they aren’t sorry. 3. They haven’t articulated a clear justification for the deportations because there isn’t one, at least no defensible one. 4. As many others have pointed out, killing a story because the “principals” refused comment is giving the government a kill switch. You note they refused and then print the story. They are free to comment, and as we saw with Susie Wiles, there are pros and cons that they must weigh. But they don’t get a veto. 5. The phrase “nearly half have no criminal history” is not misleading. People will infer that half do have criminal histories. The kind of criminal history matters here, since only 8/252 were violent. That means we are sending people to be tortured and killed for minor offenses, and there are also many who are innocent. That’s what it should say. Justifying that is not appropriate. 6. It does not matter if they were charged, because in America we have due process. 7. Kristi Noem didn’t have any goals worth reporting. If she did, the DHS spox would have responded. They did not. 8. The legal rationale is clearly delineated in the record, and that record summarily rejected the admin’s arguments. 9-0 in the Supreme Court. They unanimously held the admin’s actions denied the detainees due process. And when a federal judge ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be returned, the Trump admin disregarded it. Why spend time presenting a shifting legal argument clearly made in bad faith, especially when they won’t even do it? 9. Finally, even if you disagree and think these are all perfectly reasonable, what isn’t reasonable is waiting until the last minute to spike a story that had already been cleared by legal and standards and practices. The correct time to do it is much, much earlier. This ex-post-facto explanation is a desperate attempt to save face and should be seen as such.

NEW | Historian Presents Evidence of Israeli Backing for Aid Convoy Looting in Gaza A French historian who spent more than a month in Gaza has reported “utterly convincing” evidence that Israeli occupation forces backed looters targeting humanitarian aid convoys, directly undermining relief efforts for starving civilians. Professor Jean-Pierre Filiu of Sciences Po documented Israeli attacks on local security teams protecting aid trucks, including drone strikes that killed guards and enabled gangs to steal large portions of food consignments. UN agencies at the time confirmed that Israel’s targeting of police escorts contributed to the collapse of convoy security, while an internal UN memo described Israel’s “passive, if not active, benevolence” toward looting gangs. Filiu also reported Israeli strikes on newly opened aid routes aimed at preventing theft, effectively disabling them. As Gaza faced famine conditions, Israel admitted backing anti-Hamas militias that included known looters. Filiu warned the campaign reflects deliberate obstruction of humanitarian relief amid Israel’s ongoing genocide, which has killed nearly 70,000 Palestinians and devastated the Strip.

@dansenor Let Hurwitz speak! I want her statements about Gaza played on every news show. Shared on TikTok hundreds of thousands of times daily. I want her to become Israel's best known defender. Every person must hear her words and learn how extreme Zionism makes people monsters.

💯 % endorse (The online mob attack against Sarah is so obviously a dishonest attempt to simply try to discredit and silence a strong, proud and open-minded Jewish voice.)

This is so smart! Republicans in NYC, this is the way you should vote today. This is how you win!

@HoodlumDoodlum @Noahpinion Only on the right are they embraced by the sitting President and dozens of sitting members of congress.

@Noahpinion Do you think "stolen election" beliefs are only embraced by the Right? thedailybeast.com/kathy-griffin-…

Seems right

@postcolonize @RossBarkan Wow, have you failed to correctly infer my positions. I protested Biden's genocide in Gaza, and I would have done the same for a President Harris, assuming she continued Biden's policies as she said she would.

The idea you can absolutely check out civically if a Democrat becomes president is one of the more ludicrous out there

@aaiqbal @RossBarkan You must have been at a different No Kings march than I was at - from what I saw, there were thousands of signs, and although many had depth, many others were just trivial and funny, or making true but minor points in cute ways.

@BarryIsVery @RossBarkan You think the most reasonable interpretation of the sign is one that treats its message as trivially true and as having no broader implications? That’s not usually how protest signs work

@lovecraftianfr1 @RossBarkan I think it's likely that President Harris would be doing some awful things that deserve protests, just as Biden did. I think it's extremely unlikely she would have presented the same threat to democracy that Trump does.

@BarryIsVery @RossBarkan Well maybe they fucking should be Barry
