Gutting the National Institutes of Health - which was the greatest biomedical research organization in the world - to turn it into a right wing man’s grievance-based podcasting studio

"None of this is a distraction. It is its own thing. Netanyahu is not distracting us from the genocide in Gaza by bombing Iran. Trump is not distracting us from the fallout with Elon Musk by bombing Iran. They are just bombing Iran." open.substack.com/pub/tdunlop/...

As Israeli bombing buried them, rescue teams rushed to search for killed and injured Palestinians beneath the sand in the southern Al-Buraq camp in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis. *Keep talking about Palestine. We can all walk and chew gum at the same time. This is horrific. #FreePalestine

British surgeons Tom Potokar and Victoria Rose documented their firsthand experiences in Gaza, where they treated wounded Palestinians and witnessed fatalities following Israel’s deadly airstrikes on the enclave. #FreePalestine

A haunting image: a frail body, worn down by hunger. He left home in search of a bite to eat, something to feed himself and his family, but returned carried as a lifeless body. Israeli-US aid distribution centers are killing the people of Gaza, on top of the daily mass killings&the ongoing siege.

Masked, anonymous men rove the country, beating and detaining anybody they care to, to meet their daily quota. Some of those people are sent to foreign concentration camps, without legal review. You are not allowed to fight back or resist in any way. These men are accountable to nobody.

Shouldn’t electeds reflect the will of the people?

The question presented here is very simple and is not fundamentally about US policy on Iran or Israel. Do you want to live in a constitutional republic, or an authoritarian state where decisions on war depend on the whims of one man?

UPDATE, 24+ hours since the Trump-Vance admin bombed Iran: — 52 House members signed onto the Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution — 3 Senators supporting Kaine's War Powers Resolution — 8 Senators signed onto Bernie's No War Against Iran Act 60 total. 59 Democrats. 1 Republican.

Israeli bombs left this massive crater where Palestinian tents stood moments before. A direct hit on the displaced.

America uhhh second

The federal government has signed a deal with the private prison firm CoreCivic Corp. to reopen a 1,033-bed prison in Leavenworth as part of a surge of contracts U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued without seeking competitive bids.

"Julio" shared this from last year. He's injured but will recover in time for the season. "Thanks to the union I’m able to recover without worrying about loosing my job. I’ll come back just in time for harvest season. That's a privilege non-union workers don't have. #WeFeedYou

"Lety" is hoeing, removing weeds from the lettuce plants in CAs Central Coast. She literally walks miles through the fields every day. She shares, "I'm tired from all the walking. The rows are extremely long. At the end of the day my hands hurt from hoeing." #WeFeedYou

"Jose" has been irrigating CAs Central Coast fields for 13 yrs. "Here I am watering the cauliflower. I must move the irrigation system to where it is dry. I get very wet from this. I also get very tired from walking in the fields to make sure all the plants are watered." #WeFeedYou

WA farm workers are positioning wires in order to install an irrigation system high above the apple trees. The only equipment they have is a moving platform which they feel is not very safe. But that's what they have to work with so they're getting the job done. #WeFeedYou

Leonel shared this picture of the watermelon planting in Central CA. Planting is done in early spring to ensure a summer bounty. He earns $16.50 an hour driving the tractor of the seedlings and says he works about 9 hours a day. #WeFeedYou

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Yazan. Yazan is only 17 years old and he wanted to study engineering when he grew up. Instead he is trying to fundraise for his entire family including his brother Louay, 19 and sisters Dana, 13 and Mayar, 10. He is also helping his parents ❤️

My name is Fares, I’m 23 years old from Gaza. I’m living through a brutal war, and I’m truly in need of help. Here is my donation link — any support means the world to me. gofund.me/c37818ae

*Urgent Humanitarian Appeal* I am from Gaza, displaced with my family. We left our home and school under the occupation, leaving nothing of our memories behind. Our situation is extremely difficult. I need financial assistance so I can provide food and basic necessities for my family.

BREAKING: A judge DENIED the government's motion to detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia pending trial: “The Court will give Abrego the due process that he is guaranteed.” Background www.allrisenews.com/p/abrego-ice...

Right now in Morningside Heights: Mahmoud Khalil is speaking to his supporters after being released from ICE detention on Friday.

Cuomo’s biggest donors are cheering Trump on. These are the MAGA warmongers who would have his ear in City Hall.

Beyond parody at this point; the week these guys picked sex predators and warmongers over your future

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) insisted that President Donald Trump's attack on Iran made him more determined to pass a bill that could strip health care from more than 10 million Medicaid recipients.

Professor Khaled Elgindy of the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, Georgetown University tells the public that the Israeli occupation army invaded, ransacked and stole from his wife's familial home in the occupied West Bank.

this tracks yup yup

fucking warhawks typing this headline with one sweaty hand

Virtually every MAGA Republican will now fall in line, and there won't be a passing second of introspection or contrition among those who credulously adopted the "Donald the Dove" nonsense, who, it should be said, helped bring us to where we are today.

They're really going with "the unprovoked act of war isn't wrong, doing it 'illegaly' is" here. Absolutely rudderless, gutless people.

Spending taxpayer money on a foreign war because Israel told him to do it so they'd let him build Trump Gaza Golf has literally nothing to do with America and everything to do with Trump enriching himself personally.

Ah here comes @cnn.com with the bullshit straight out of 2003

Everything this loser does is always projection. God I wish we had an adult somewhere in the vicinity of the white house.

this is as good as turning the Constitution off. If this is what congressional leaders are going to do when an executive just seizes power from the legislative branch, we do not have one.

Just pause and consider that the United States is operating in full active collaboration with a genocidal regime. Every American who participates in this travesty of a war has responsibility for that.

I will be curious to see what legal authority the administration cites for this unauthorized act of war. Crazy stretch of the facts to fit some existing AUMF or just Article 2 Section LEEROY JENKINS

I think @schumer.senate.gov should condemn this aggression or resign

lol

can't believe the US announced a war with a major regional power on a shitty Mastodon fork, the future sucks dude

I know this makes me sound boomer as hell but I feel so bad for kids these days. This is evil
