I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Remember that Trump lamented that domestic violence was a crime. This is their version of “masculinity”

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism.

Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

Israel won't let food into Gaza. Apparently Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't care if Israeli hostages starve to death too. Or does he think their captors will feed them while watching their own children slowly die a horrifying death?

Ghislaine Maxwell wants immunity and a copy of House lawmakers’ questions before she testifies, her lawyer says.

Well, then, she can f**k off back to prison, where she belongs.

Do you realize how long it takes to starve to death, a grueling and painful process? It does not happen quickly. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
This week, Israel starved 43 people to death by Wednesday. The Gaza war is in a new phase
