Iran is run by really bad guys. I have no tears for them. But it didn’t have to come to this. Trump tearing up the deal Obama made to keep Iran’s nuclear ambitions, which was working, opened the door to for the escalation of conflict between Iran and Israel. Now innocents will suffer with the guilty

Trump in 2011: "Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective..." This video aged well because it reminds us that Trump has always done Nazi 101 and accused his opponents of what he actually does.

at some point it is going to be America getting blown the fuck out by sophisticated, multi-year intel-driven strikes, because we put the dumbest and most venal people in the world in charge of counterintelligence

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Alex Padilla is an American citizen of Mexican descent. The video of a Mexican-American being manhandled by thugs will play extremely well with the sort of trash who support Trump. Decent people are outraged. Shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture are thrilled.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

"So on September 9, 1956, before the Ed Sullivan Show started, Presley smiled, rolled up his sleeves in front of the press, and Sullivan himself, and let a doctor and nurse give him a polio shot in his arm. Elvis publicized the moment by sending photos of his inoculation out across the nation."

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

Russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, plunging families into every parent's worst nightmare. Now, Trump funding cuts threaten to close a Yale center that helps identify these children and bring them home. Please consider donating to help continue this work: sph.yale.edu/give-hrl

I think we’ve become so inured to this stuff that it’s easy to lose sight of just how quickly epistemic collapse has accelerated. Ten years ago, the media was wringing its hands over social media misinformation and what it meant that Trump had the gall to lie. Now, the lies control health policy.

The only reason people think LA is a postapocalyptic nightmare is because of the X algorithm. An unreality machine.

I am sounding the alarm as loudly as I can that Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into a cog in his authoritarian machine to prosecute his political opponents.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Stephen Miller—who's from the area and knows better—calls LA an "occupied city" as part of a ploy to justify a violent, fascist crackdown. Courtesy of Matt Snyder, this map of LA features a to-scale red dot indicating where the protests are. You'll have to zoom in and look hard.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
