The CDC has updated its vaccine safety page to promote long-discredited claims about vaccines—namely that they cause autism.

The page links to a number of studies, including one by anti-vax allies of Robert Kennedy Jr.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

⭕️ BREAKING: Another Palestinian boy killed in Al-Far’a camp; Israeli forces, credibly accused of harvesting organs from Gaza detainees they tortured and killed, are refusing to return his body The Palestinian Ministry of Education says a 15-year old ninth grader who attended an UNRWA school in the camp. was killed by Israeli gunfire on Sunday evening in Al-Far’a camp, south of Tubas. His body was taken by the army, according to Wafa. Israel confirmed its forces killed a Palestinian in the camp but claimed he “posed a danger” to troops without presenting evidence. Two others were also wounded. Ambulance crews and witnesses said Israeli forces blocked them from reaching the injured. Military patrols stormed Al-Far’a camp in northern West Bank after withdrawing from nearby Aqaba and Tubas, spreading through the camp as the raid intensified on Sunday.

After generations of family adventures, Sawyer Lee is determined to sink in the couch! The problem is that it will take a regrettable amount of energy for him to escape the mysteries, conspiracies, and gourd-based festivities the whole town throws his way.

🚨 Hamas has released a statement detailing the “violations by the occupation of the ceasefire agreement signed in Sharm El-Sheikh one month after its implementation.”

It reads in full:

We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, reaffirm our thanks and appreciation to the efforts of the brotherly mediators, all the countries, international and humanitarian organizations, as well as the free people of the world who took a brave moral and humanitarian stand by rejecting the genocide carried out by the occupation against our people in Gaza. We also value the efforts of the mediators who contributed to reaching the ceasefire agreement. As part of the Movement's and the resistance forces’ commitment to implementing the agreement, based on our national and humanitarian responsibilities, we call on the brotherly mediators, guarantors, countries, and international organizations to continue exerting pressure on the occupation and obliging it to stop its repeated violations and breaches, which aim to undermine the agreement and sabotage the efforts to solidify and sustain it, which have been as follows: First: Hamas's full and thorough commitment to the agreement Since the ceasefire agreement signed in Sharm El-Sheikh came into effect, the resistance forces have fully and accurately adhered to implementing the agreement in good faith. They successfully handed over the twenty live captive Israeli soldiers within 72 hours of the implementation’s start. They also continued their careful search for the remains of Israeli soldiers, despite the numerous complications, through coordinating daily with the mediators and the International Red Cross. This was done despite the severe field conditions caused by the war, its complete alteration of the landscape of Gaza and destruction of its infrastructure, the occupation controlling 60% of the Strip’s territory, the work being done amidst hundreds of tons of unexploded ordnance dropped by the occupation, the lack of excavation machinery and debris removal equipment, which the occupation continues to block from entering, many of the resistance fighters guarding the Israeli captives being martyred, and the bodies of hundreds of resistance fighters and Palestinian civilians disappearing with no trace, with some of them potentially being Israeli prisoners. However, the movement managed to locate 24 bodies out of 28, and through the mediators and the International Red Cross, it provided coordinates of additional locations of bodies in areas under the occupation’s control. The movement continues its intensive efforts to locate the remaining bodies. The movement has left no pretext that the occupation attempts to fabricate unanswered, consistently proving through actions and field facts its full commitment to the terms and spirit of the agreement. Second: Violations by the occupation one month after the agreement The occupation has not ceased since the start of the agreement to undermine and violate it on a daily and moment-by-moment basis, as well as fabricating pretexts. These include: 1. Killing and targeting civilians: 271 Palestinians were martyred as a result of deliberate shelling and gunfire by the occupation forces. More than 91% of the martyrs were civilians, with 94% of them located inside the "Yellow Line”, with the rest near it. Among the martyrs were 107 children, 39 women, and 9 elderly individuals, meaning that 58% of those killed were children, women, and the elderly. This scene highlights the continued policy of systematic killing against defenseless civilians by the occupation. (1/4 continues below)

🔴 In the past 72 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 1 person killed and 9 bodies recovered from the rubble. 6 others were wounded and taken to hospitals.

This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 69,169 and 170,685 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)

A viral online video, which claims to show "Ukrainian soldiers" threaten to kill Charlie Kirk's wife Erika Kirk, is fake.

Not only do the "soldiers" in the clip speak Ukrainian with a notably strong Russian accent, but it has hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign known as Storm-1516.
FAKE VIDEO A bizarre threat directed at Erika Kirk came from the armed forces of Ukraine! Three soldiers said she should C watch her neck" if she continues to say the LI same things about Ukraine as her late husband did. Charlie Kirk advocated for stopping all financial aid to Ukraine.

Full Statement (English Translation) — ⭕ Press Release No. (1018) issued by the Gaza Government Media Office ⛔ Israel continues its policy of strangulation: Only 4,453 trucks have entered Gaza out of 15,600 that should have entered since the start of the ceasefire—a rate not exceeding 28%. We affirm that the total number of aid trucks that have entered the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire came into effect has reached 4,453 out of 15,600 that were supposed to enter by the evening of Wednesday, November 6, 2025, according to the ceasefire arrangements and the accompanying humanitarian understandings. These convoys included 31 trucks carrying cooking gas and 84 trucks of diesel fuel designated for bakeries, hospitals, generators, and other vital sectors—still far short of what is needed for daily life after two years of systematic killing, blockade, and destruction resulting from Israel’s genocidal war against our people in Gaza. The daily average since the ceasefire began is 171 trucks, out of the 600 agreed upon under the humanitarian protocol. This confirms that Israel continues to pursue a policy of suffocation, starvation, and political blackmail against more than 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza. These limited quantities do not meet even the minimum humanitarian, food, or medical needs. The Strip urgently requires a steady inflow of at least 600 trucks daily carrying food, medicine, fuel, cooking gas, and health supplies to preserve basic life for civilians. These limited quantities do not meet even the minimum humanitarian, food, or medical needs. The Strip urgently requires a steady inflow of at least 600 trucks daily carrying food, medicine, fuel, cooking gas, and health supplies to preserve basic life for civilians. As part of its starvation tactics, Israel deprives civilians of more than 350 basic food items essential for children, the sick, the wounded, and other vulnerable groups. These include: 1.Table eggs 2.Red meat 3.Poultry 4.Fish 5.Cheese 6.Dairy products 7.Vegetables 8.Nutritional supplements 9.Dozens of other items needed by pregnant women, patients, and people with weak immunity. At the same time, Israel allows the entry of larger quantities of low-nutrition goods such as soft drinks, chocolate, processed meals, and chips—sold in Gaza at prices more than 15 times their real value due to Israeli control over supply chains. This reflects a deliberate policy of engineered starvation and direct targeting of civilians’ food security. We reaffirm the full readiness of Gaza’s governmental bodies—focused solely on humanitarian service—to facilitate and coordinate the entry and distribution of aid in cooperation with UN agencies and Arab and international relief organizations, ensuring it reaches all provinces and essential facilities for the benefit of our steadfast Palestinian people. ✳️ Government Media Office 📍 Gaza Strip – Palestine 📅 Thursday, November 6, 2025

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops
But here’s the most uncomfortable truth of all: the parasites that have taken over so much of our country—pantsuited girlboss advertising executives, Skittle-haired they/them activists, soy-faced pajama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchiks, Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants, nasally voiced Ivy League regulatory lawyers, obese George Soros–funded police abolitionist district attorneys, hipster trust fund socialists—are some of the least impressive people in the history of the world.
