@VanJones68 You really are the most shameless revolting excuse for a human being. You literally believe in nothing apart from your grift.

When you woke up this morning, your internet worked. You scrolled, you searched, you shared. But 90 million Iranians woke up — again — to total darkness. Their government has now imposed the longest nationwide internet blackout ever recorded in any country. Almost 40 consecutive days. That should alarm every one of us. Iran’s information blackout is a weapon against its own people. When governments can flip a switch and immediately disappear 90 million people from the internet, the rest of us lose our eyes and ears too.

In just their third episode, SNL UK has already put classic SNL to shame when it comes to acknowledging Palestine.

This war can be summed up by a single sentence from Netanyahu's 1993 book, A Place Among the Nations. "The task of Israel’s leaders is to try to convince the American government that it is in the interest of the United States to follow policies that cohere with Israeli interests, not vice versa." It's almost like they say it right to our faces!

@grayshurz Dark. Best thing they have ever made imho. Follow the non spoiler reddit threads as you watch as it is complicated. Watch the subtitled version also, not dubbed.

I need a Netflix series so addictive that I completely forget the outside world exists. Hit me with your best recommendations

Make no mistake: destroying world-class universities, like the US just did with Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, isn't just an attack on Iran but it's literally an attack on all of us, on all of humanity. It's not Iran that "won" when Maryam Mirzakhani made her discoveries that won her a Fields Medal: it's all of mathematics, and everything mathematics is used for. Human progress won, technology won, we all won. It's the same type of stuff the Mongols did during the sack of Baghdad and their destruction of the House of Wisdom: we ALL lost something irreplaceable back then, entire fields of human knowledge set back. That's what bombing a university does. It doesn't just destroy buildings. It destroys us, all of us.

@Timodc That Gammon caught the sun😂😂😂. He is largely accurate with his appraisal of where we are.

Prominent conservative Scottish commentator with a truth nuke.

So, if I got that right, here's the narrative: - A US F-15E fighter jet got shot down over Iran, despite Trump saying 2 days beforehand in his nationwide address that Iran has "no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated." (apnews.com/article/donald…) - The plane's weapons systems officer - a "highly respected Colonel," according to Trump - ejected from the plane and got "seriously wounded" (still according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116351956955900185" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…) - He still managed to "hike up a 7,000-foot [2.1km] mountain ridgeline and hide in a crevice" in the Zagros Mountains, despite his wounds (time.com/article/2026/0…) - U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones started killing all "Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometers of [the American's location]" (x.com/ByChrisGordon/…) - To retrieve him the U.S. managed to seize an "abandoned airport," 200 miles deep inside Iran, near Isfahan (bbc.com/news/articles/…), which happens to be where Iran's largest atomic scientific center is located (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isfahan_N…) - They landed two MC-130 military transport planes in that airport (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) in an operation involving "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" (time.com/article/2026/0…) - Both MC-130 planes got "stuck in the sand" and the U.S. destroyed them themselves "to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands" (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - They deployed "three new aircraft to extract all the U.S. personnel" on the ground (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - There are videos circulating online of "heavy clashes" with presumably Iranian missiles raining down in Kohgiluyeh County, in the Zagros Mountains during that night (x.com/Afshin_Ismaeli…) - Iran sent pictures of the aftermath at the "abandoned airport" and it's a sight of utter destruction, with US plane and MH-6 helicopter parts scattered all over the ground, still smoking (turkiyetoday.com/region/wreckag…). Iran claims they are the ones who in fact destroyed all the aircraft. - Meanwhile a second U.S. plane, an A-10 Warthog, also crashed on Friday near the Strait of Hormuz according to two U.S. officials speaking to the NYT (#47863db0-d61e-51bf-b7e1-6c4a9dc988e7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/04/0…). In that instance too the lone pilot was apparently "safely rescued." - In all this, after the multiple planes and helicopters destroyed or shot down, the documented heavy clashes, the "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" operating deep inside Iran, not a single US soldier was reported killed "or even wounded" (according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…). - And the 'highly respected Colonel' this was all for? No name. No photo. No interview. Nobody has spoken to him nor knows who he is. So to sum up: anti-aircraft equipment that supposedly didn't exist shot down an F-15 (and, apparently, an A-10 Warthog the same day). A seriously wounded man climbed a 2.1km mountain. The US seized an airfield 200 miles inside a country it's at war with, next to one of its most strategic nuclear sites, and deployed hundreds of troops all apparently unimpeded. Lost two planes to "sand" and destroyed their own helicopters. Videos show heavy clashes, missiles raining down - but not a single person got "even wounded". And the man at the center of it all? Nobody knows who he is, completely anonymous, zero pictures, but Trump says he is "SAFE and SOUND." And so is the rescued A-10 Warthog pilot, who also remains anonymous. Trump concludes this all proves the US has "achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies" (@realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…), despite the whole episode only happening because Iran shot his planes out of the sky. Basically, the only thing that's "overwhelming" here is the audacity of the storytelling...

@OunkaOnX @abbasnasir59 Murderous solipsism as @ori_goldberg so perfectly describes. Only they exist. Everyone should be following Ori.

This exchange is the entire conflict in two minutes - An Israeli woman worries about her son and his dog in a safe room during Hamas rocket attacks. Randa Abdelfattah responds that Gazans have no safe rooms, no escape from Israel's 14-year blockade, and no protection from US-funded Israeli weapons

@BOptimist1973 @Timodc Blue tick wankers!

@Timodc The widespread mocking of dumbass's who pay 3/4 trillionaire Elon to use Twitter needs to return

I’ve seen like 5 maga influencers make this point & they are all too dense to realize they have more verified followers than Hasan bc only MAGAs & sickos are paying Elon. I have even fewer than this bc no self respecting resist lib is verified unless they were grandfathered in

@DeepNotShallow yup, they should go on Rogan and challenge the banality of it all, and go on Maher and challenge his bigotry, problem on the latter is they already go on and laugh along, at babies no less...

Progressives refusing to go on Joe Rogan or Bill Maher is a losing strategy. Centrists trying to cancel Hasan Piker is equally stupid. You can't demand politicians meet voters where they are and then kneecap the people actually doing it.

@GianmarcoSoresi you got one more follow😎

lol no way

@cahill_claudia @saletan @jaketapper CNN US is pure trash and has been for quite some time since they shifted right (to no avail, ratings still sucked). CNN Int has some journalists of merit I will concede but even that arm is too overly influenced by its corporate parent. imho

@andysab2016 @saletan @jaketapper It’s not. Regulatory issues, major debt issues and Wall Street issue.

Credit to @jaketapper for reading the whole disgusting tweet when others on TV wouldn't. Sanitizing this behavior is bad journalism and bad for accountability in a democracy. Let the people see the truth.

@cahill_claudia @saletan @jaketapper tbf it already is

@saletan @jaketapper We can only hope the Ellison acquisition of Paramount fails. If not CNN is the next propaganda network.

@saletan @jaketapper he didn't tho did he?

@AmiDar Respectfully am not sure Israel is redemptible at this stage, the societal wide dehumanisation of the 'other' just seems absolute. But I follow folk like you are Ori Goldberg etc. You are ofc right tho they should not be attacked, they should be amplified

There’s a group of people in Israel that has been protesting against the government almost nonstop for more than three years. Are they a minority? Yes. But attacking *them* for not doing more is just dumb. (And implies that the critic would have done more. Maybe, but I doubt it.)

@lizatliz I lol'd with the nunnery)))

The problem Sarah is that you had a *career* as a Republican. You should be in a nunnery praying for your eternal soul, not acting like you have the moral high ground on ANYONE. Especially when you’re on STILL on the wrong side of history when it comes to the Gaza genocide 🤷🏻‍♀️

@AmiDar @sanna865 x.com/AlonLeeGreen/s… like this beautiful man, has to be acknowledged the size of these protests tho...

@sanna865 It’s a shame you are an idiot. Most of this crowd had been protesting nonstop for three years or more.

It's a shame the majority of them are only doing this because it affects them now 😬

@DropSiteNews At least he's saying the truth now! ofc there some BS to be called out in that but if these wounds ever gonna heal more like him are needed imho. The lady really should have no place of relevance in the party obviously. Horrid person...

My friend Zaid told me about the interview he did for this nearly a year ago. After @bariweiss took over CBS, he was told that the segment was delayed. Clearly it was so they could completely distort the narrative and give settlers the first and final word.

@infinite_jaz @bariweiss thats revolting...

Truly fuck this @CBSSunday segment on archaeology in the WB, which leads with the settler narrative, uncritically platforming some of the most nefarious, genocidal Israeli pseudo archaeologists before giving a few minutes to a Palestinian, who @sethdoane immediately challenges.
