"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (standards of thought) no longer exist." ---Hannah Arendt
Genocide
An Israeli minister boasts that “Gaza is being erased, we are wiping out the population.”
MAKE FOX NEWS PAY A HEAVY PRICE FOR THE POISON THEY FEED!!!!
Fox News' Jesse Watters Admits He Erred in Saying Newsom Lied About Trump Phone Call, but Governor Isn't Dropping Lawsuit: 'See You in Court, Buddy' variety.com/2025/tv/news/f…
Just 40 days ago, Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed by an unhinged Trump supporter and the story has basically already vanished from the national consciousness. DO NOT LET IT.
Having already killed or wounded 200,000 Palestinians, the extremist Israeli government is using mass starvation to engineer the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Despite these crimes, the US has provided $22 billion to Israeli military operations since the war began. Enough is enough.
When Donald Trump pardons a convicted sex trafficker in exchange for testimony covering up his involvement in the Epstein files, it will be the biggest abuse of power in American history.
Nazi dog whistles from Homeland Security. This tweet is 14 words with two capital H’s. Representing 14/88. This painting is called "American Progress" by John Gast. It represents "Manifest Destiny"— an ideology grounded in white supremacy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_……
14 words, H capitalized twice. Groyper-occupied government.
A Heritage to be proud of, a Homeland worth Defending. American Progress - John Gast
This is one of those images you instantly know will appear in history books of the future. And people will wonder how we allowed this to happen.
"Under the Fourth Geneva Convention, Israel as the occupying power has an obligation to provide unconditional and adequate supplies of essential good and services to the entire population under its control." "Israel is not fulfilling this obligation." 1/
According to the WSJ, he knew he was in the files. The Attorney General helped him hide the files. He likely has already destroyed the files that implicate him. Now we need an investigation that makes Watergate look small.
A UN-flagged joint military force should be sailing across the Mediterranean right now to break Israel’s starvation siege. This is what the UN system was supposed to do — it is what it was designed to do.
The role of intellectuals is to challenge authority, not serve it.
Never before in the Nation’s almost 250 year history has America’s present and future depended more on the free press than it does today.
.@RepThomasMassie and I have the votes to easily pass the full release of the Epstein files. The Speaker is recessing Congress without giving us a vote. RT if you believe members of Congress should have to vote yes or no on the release before their summer vacation.
130 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in Gaza this weekend. People are starving. Many were shot by the Israeli military while simply trying to get food. This is completely insane and unacceptable. No more U.S. military aid to Israel.
“Gave up her fight for life” is an insane way to describe a little girl being starved to death by Israel.
Four-year old Razan Abu Zaher gave up her fight for life on Sunday. She died at a hospital in central Gaza from complications brought on by hunger and malnutrition, @CNN reports share.google/X06Ydl5AUQZmmE…
The Pope should go to Gaza, and bring aid in. He should dare the Israelis to block him. Words, no matter how heartfelt, will not save a single starving child.
Tragic news continues to arrive in these days from the Middle East, especially from Gaza. I express my profound sadness regarding last Thursday’s attack by the Israeli army on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, which as you know killed three Christians and…
Step 1: private prisons donate to politicians Step 2: politicians buy stock in the prisons Step 3: politicians push for mass incarceration and criminalization of poverty and immigration to fill the prisons Step 4: prisons profit, politicians make money Repeat endlessly.
Private prisons and detention centers are run by corporations that profit from incarceration. The more people America locks up or detains, the more money they make. It is not about locking up “bad people.” It’s about filling beds to get paid.
it’s so funny that the concept of a ‘war on christianity’ is about starbucks cups saying happy holidays,,, instead of like israel bombing the only catholic church in gaza
