How many icons on your phone depict gadgets that the phone replaces? At what point do those images have meaning only in the icon universe?

Update: I got into the Israel real estate event at Park East Synagogue. Inside I saw at least one table advertising properties in the West Bank, including Kfar Eldad and Karnei Shomron.

Mayor Mamdani condemned a land sale event about to take place at an Upper East Side synagogue today, with a spokesman saying the event could violate international law if there are sales of land in the Occupied Territories theintercept.com/2026/05/05/zoh…

@CoachesCoffin @HQNewsNow @adammocklerr Fun fact: no war in this century or the last was fought to protect the right to free speech. Your friends, my friends, maybe even some of Adam's friends, died for nothing except for maybe a corporate balance sheet. And you think that deserves respect?

@HQNewsNow @adammocklerr My entire life he says. Well lucky for you, you weren’t 18 years old during the Vietnam War. Let me clue you in. Many people sacrificed it all for you to be able to freely state your opposition to war. The issue they have is how judgmental you and others your age are. No Respect

.@adammocklerr: My entire life the US has been at war with some country in the Middle East. Now, Gen Z is going through the same thing with Iran. This war is failing we haven't gotten any concessions. Sorry but I'm not buying the "trust the process" line.

@Acyn Have you tried, "I'm sorry"? Marco, it's a skill that, for many toddlers, is hard to learn: it's okay if yours is a little slow.

Rubio says the goal now is to return the Strait of Hormuz back to the way it was: But our preference is for these straits to be opened to the way they're supposed to be open— back to the way it was—no mines in the water. Nobody paying tolls. That’s the goal.

Imagine, there was a time in my life when the worst thing that was the result had just been the Iraq war.

You see this kind of thing in struggling lower-income Southern households, and it tells a very specific story. When life hasn't delivered much.... no wealth, no power, no real social standing.... some folks discover that white supremacy is basically a free membership card to a club that makes them feel superior without requiring any actual achievement. It's the world's laziest status symbol. The starter kit is always the same: *A Confederate flag honoring a war their ancestors lost badly 160 years ago. *A gun they'll never actually need. *A Bible they've never actually read. *And Fox News running 24/7 telling them they're REAL Americans.... unlike those fancy elitist Democrats who are secretly importing an army of replacement voters to steal their.... Their what exactly? Their Dollar General? Their 1987 Camaro on cinder blocks in the yard? FOX found the formula, and they never let go of it: Take a man who has nothing, tell him the reason he has nothing is because those people are taking it.... and suddenly he's not a struggling nobody. He's a soldier in a cultural war. He matters. He's relevant. He becomes a MAGA Warrior! And THAT.... ladies and gentlemen.... is precisely how a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, 34-time felon, bankrupt New York con man who golfs at his own resorts became the hero of the working man. You genuinely cannot make this stuff up. And I write this so that hopefully they will recognize what they have done and what they are doing and snap out of it..... I was born and raised in Appalachia ... These very people could be my relatives ..... but ... I .... got common sense from my granny ----- "question everything". VIA~Lee Murphy

@gideonrachman In political science it’s called Losers Consent. People who support the losing sides in elections agree to comply with winners rulership as long as everyone is treated the same. Especially under law. Lose that and it’s civil war time.

@4drd5 @praeiseup @HQNewsNow Lol, if that's your point, you must believe it was the US involvement that caused gas prices to rise. Can't even bring yourself to blame Putin, because you, me, and your boy all know he's his bitch.

Trump is now telling Americans to be grateful their skyrocketing gas prices aren’t even higher: "Everybody was wrong. They thought that energy would be at $300 a barrel right? It's like at $100 and I think going down"

@Cath1455 @MarcoFoster_ Bad Jew = bad gentile = person who throws accelerant and flame at a home, because they don't like who lives there. Bad Jews = bad gentiles = military that hunts terrorists--sleeping in crowded buildings--with 1k lb. Bombs, because they are too cowardly to kick in a door.

What BS. It is only the Jewish people who live in Israel that he doesn't love. That is approximately half of all Jewish people. And I don't think he loves the Jewish people in the West who support Israel either--that would be most of them. This attempt to separate "good" Jews from "bad" Jews is absurd. The people out on the streets calling for globalizing the intifada and attacking Jewish establishments are not drawing those fine distinctions. No one is attacking Russian Americans because of Putin or Chinese Americans because of the CCP or Muslim Americans because Muslims commit most of the terrorist acts in the world. Only the Jews are fair game. Only the Jews are not permitted to use our democratic processes to support a country they choose to support.

Abdul El-Sayed: “AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people. I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. The single most dangerous thing they’ve tried to tell us is somehow they can extend the definition of antisemitism to include a foreign government and its leaders. I call bullshit”

@i_saim1 Here's an easy solution for Hegseth that doesn't require any effort, and perfectly answers Kelly: JUST DON'T GIVE ANY ILLEGAL ORDERS.

CNN just reported it: Pete Hegseth is DEMOTING Sen. Mark Kelly and slashing his retirement pay over his ‘illegal orders’ video. Accountability hits different when it’s a retired Navy Captain turned politician undermining the chain of command. No more sacred cows. Thumbs up if you back Hegseth on this 👇🇺🇸

10 years ago today, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2286. Over 80 Member States committed to protect medical humanitarian work. Yet @MSF is sharing the same message from 2016: 🔴 Stop bombing hospitals. 🔴 Stop bombing health workers. 🔴 Stop bombing patients.

@Ploodie1 @TheJFreakinC Because you SHOULD have to set aside your rights every once in a while, to prevent an agent of the state getting upset by them, and shooting you in the face. See how stupid your argument is?

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents surrounded the WRONG HOUSE for NINE HOURS… got a warrant… and still arrested the wrong person. They were looking for Gerson Manuel Portillo-Escobar, a human trafficking suspect who lived at 919 Hamilton Crossings Station, Antioch, Tennessee. Instead, they targeted someone at 939… a completely different home… and arrested Miguel Antonio Blanco, who has no criminal record. Agents saw Miguel go inside his own house and decided he was their suspect… Even though they had the correct name, address, and a photo of the actual person, who lived a few houses away. Miguel told them repeatedly they had the wrong person. They ignored him. For nine hours, they called out someone else’s name and tried to get inside. Then, they got a warrant… forced entry… and took a man who wasn’t on that warrant. This is a Fourth Amendment violation… you can’t have probable cause if you have the wrong person and the wrong house. It also raises due process concerns under the Fifth Amendment… because the government doesn’t get to ignore facts and detain someone anyway. They had the right information… They just didn’t use it.

@bafornols @MilesTaylorUSA We don't know, which is a problem. Now they are saying it's taxpayers, after not knowing who paid Trump for it, what they were promised in return, or where that money goes. It could be a black hole, or Trump's pocket.
