Former Israeli PM Olmert in Haaretz, calls Israel’s assault on Gaza “intentional annihilation” and “war crimes.” Say that as a U.S. politician and AIPAC will spend $5 million to end your career.

I don’t care what Ozturk wrote. It doesn’t matter. This is America. We’re fucking free to have opinions of all sorts. It doesn’t matter. You don’t get to lock up people for bad thought. That’s against the fucking law and morals and fuck every last person arguing that this is a crime. Fuck all of em

The IDF excuses itself of war crimes, citing "professional failures" and firing one person, after video and eyewitness accounts exposed their earlier lies after they ambushed ambulances, shot aid workers in the head, and buried them in mass graves.

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.
My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.
Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Hi,

I’ve been a software developer for 30 years, including in very large IT projects.

Everything about “DOGE” and a bunch of Hitlerjugend walking into a data center and optimizing a code base and data grown over 70 years in a few days is complete bullshit on its nose.

Sincerely,
Thomas
