“Just know that both the US and the IAEA concluded recently that Iran was not currently building a nuke.

All the destruction you’re seeing in Tel Aviv was because Netanyahu wanted to stay in power”

The disconnect Israelis exhibit when discussing the Iranian bombing of Tel Aviv while their government obliterates Gaza is astonishing. BBC journalists immediately on-site to record sympathetic human interest stories. #r4today

It’s sad not understanding the delicious pleasure of simply existing in the present moment, enjoying the fantastic experience of reading a good book while drinking a favorite beverage. It’s not a race.
but… isn’t the point of drinking coffee to sit there and read a book while you do?

the decline of reading for fun is maybe the single most depressing thing about the technological era we’re living through
These people are the enemy.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

People need to see what’s happening.

ICE just took a dad while his teenage son watched, crying and powerless.

Trump is ripping families apart—and some folks still say, “That’s what I voted for.” If that’s your take, that sentiment says more about you than it says about any undocumented immigrant.

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

The cowardice of Democratic politicians is just as devastating as the audacity of Republicans.
We have won both the academic and public debate on the effects of immigration, yet we're losing politically because the propaganda from one political party is so powerful, and the response from the other side is to hide. It's unbelievable.
NEW CBS poll shows that Americans don’t believe Trump’s lies about immigrants but do believe his lies about the immigrants he’s deporting.

The IDF has intercepted and kidnapped the Madleen because they didn't want it to deliver baby formula n other things like that to Palestinians who are experiencing starvation due to the Israeli government refusing to allow aid in. That's the story no matter how you window dress it.
