This is not our war. But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution. I’m introducing a bipartisan War Powers Resolution tomorrow to prohibit our involvement. I invite all members of Congress to cosponsor this resolution.

How a live action Snow White should have been made

Former Nestlé CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe has been named interim Chairman, replacing Klaus Schwab at the helm of the World Economic Forum. Brabeck-Letmathe is known for his stance that water is not a human right but a commodity. He has long pushed for strict control over personal water usage — even arguing that pools and car washes shouldn’t be a matter of personal choice. He envisions a future where an authoritative global body determines how much water individuals can consume.

@jakeshieldsajj Same as with Epstein files?

🚨 THE NEXT 2008 IS HAPPENING NOW 🚨 Party City. Joann’s. Forever 21. Big Lots. ALL COLLAPSING. But this isn’t just “retail struggling.” This is financial arson. Private equity rigged the system. They built a time bomb. And now? It’s detonating. A MEGATHREAD: 🧵⬇️

Last week, I was expelled from @Columbia for protesting the U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza. As president of @SW_Columbia , Columbia’s student workers union, I was also fired from my job. The Trump administration is pushing their narrative. Here’s the real story. 🧵

USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training” over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives. The operation claims “offices” in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year. Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN. Bourgault’s IN bio and those of its other key people and board members have been recently scrubbed from its website but remain accessible at archive.org. Records show the board being co-chaired by Democrat securocrat Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, wife of NVIDIA billionaire Trench Coxe, both major Democratic donors. In 2023, supported by Hillary Clinton, Bourgault launched a $10m IN fund at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The IN page showing a picture of Bourgault at the CGI has also been deleted. IN has at least six captive subsidiaries under unrelated names including one based out of the Cayman Islands. Since 2008, when electronic records begin, more than 95% of IN's budget has been supplied by the US government (thread follows)

All of MAGA and MAHA should oppose this project to their last breath. We are the media now. Get loud. It’s one thing to fund AI innovation- it’s a different thing to give a golden ticket to a CIA stooge and a sociopathic murderer. To give them oversight over what could quite possibly be the invention of AGI paired with a digital mass surveillance state. Hell no.

For posterity:

This American has Stage 4 cancer and there is no cure She has insurance but she just received a letter from her health insurance that they are not covering her treatment “One chemo session costs $15,000” “My doctor confirmed that I got approval from my insurance company before I started the chemo. I've been on it for a few months now — The insurance company suddenly decided that they're not going to cover the treatments anymore” She has to get this $15,000 treatment “once every 3 weeks” “Honestly, this letter feels like a threat. It feels like my life is being threatened and saying, we will not pay for your life-saving treatment feels like a threat on my life.” We need to share these stories because one day this could be any of us We need SERIOUS reform of our healthcare industry in America

the us war machine would make #superman a villain for sure if he tried to create peace in the real world

never a better moment to transform healthcare than after the assassination of the united healthcare CEO

The Zionist plan for the Palestinians is to kill them and drive them off their land by whatever cruelty is necessary, with the understanding that one day people will look back on it like the genocide of other indigenous populations saying "Yeah it was bad, but it's in the past." The Zionists take a long view of history, understanding that all the outrage and backlash they're facing over Gaza right now will one day be irrelevant if they can carry out their plan for the territory today. They know that future generations of Israeli settlers will be able to say "Sure there was an ethnic cleansing in Gaza and a bunch of mass atrocities were committed, but that all happened before I was born; I had nothing to do with it. What do you want me to do, give up the home I've lived in all my life? That's nuts." And they're absolutely right: if Israel succeeds in driving the Palestinians out of Gaza (and assuming humanity doesn't wipe itself out via nuclear armageddon or environmental collapse), that is exactly the future they can expect to have. The genocidal atrocities against the Palestinians will be something kids learn about in history class. Israel itself might even be able to be a lot more honest about what happened, once the Palestinian problem has been fully resolved and the threat of a Palestinian state no longer exists. So they do what they need to do in the meantime, with the understanding that this will one day all be rubbed away by the sands of time. They commit what atrocities they need to commit, they lie in whatever ways they need to lie, and they exert influence wherever they need to exert influence until they can get this thing locked down. Once they have, they can sit back and let old father time do the work for them. That's why it's so important to oppose this thing now: because once Palestine is erased, it's highly unlikely that it can ever be restored. We see what an uphill battle it is to obtain any rights at all for indigenous populations in other nations founded on genocidal settler-colonialism, and they haven't even been driven out of their national borders into foreign countries. The sins of the present and the recent past are much, much easier to correct than the sins of the distant past. That's why the Zionists are so keen to move these atrocities into the "sins of the distant past" category.

@aaronjmate It’s amazing that you are suddenly “far left” to the repubs after being “far right” to the liberals for the past 3 years..it’s almost like being “the other guy” is the best insult they can all muster when faced with intelligent critique.

I didn't accost him, I questioned him (in a quiet voice, because it was the Quiet Car) about his refusal to back a Gaza ceasefire. And he did have me thrown off the train. twitter.com/aaronjmate/sta…

Heroic!

We don’t have fair market capitalism. We have corporate crony capitalism, where the rules are written by billionaires and incumbents and large corporations, to stack the deck against the middle class.
