Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage. But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground. Is it obvious yet?

Much focus rightly on the assault on a US Senator. But this language. “Liberate” is a word US governments have used for places like Baghdad & Kabul. This is regime change on US soil.

In every dictatorship, the democratic opposition is subject to intimidation and assault by the regime. It came to America today.

NEW: 30 more executed at Gaza aid station this morning. The pattern is clear. Starving people queue for hours, a few boxes of food are thrown, then the firing squad begins. It is likely some of these gunmen are American militia. One of the worst war crimes in 80 years. (🎥 Sarah Wilkinson)

Horrendous. A man lying on the ground is repeatedly beaten by LA riot police, before one deliberately tramples him with horse. These officers should face charges. (🎥 Bricktop via X)

NEW: Paramount, California is a battleground right now. Riot police are using tear gas and what sounds like flash bangs/stun grenades against those protesting ICE’s deportation raids. Clearly some injuries (at 45 secs here). (🎥Credit: KNX News)

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

Ukraine used $47,000 in drones to inflict $7,000,000,000 of damage. War changed today. Forever.

Last year, Russia imported 5.4 MILLION shipping containers. After today’s historic attack, every single one is a potential weapon that Putin is terrified of. Not only has Ukraine neutered Russia’s long-range air capability today, but they just crippled its supply chain & economy. Utter genius.

Remarkable scenes at Belaya airfield in Irkutsk, Russia. Ukraine has launched a devastating attack on Russia’s fleet of strategic bombers. The base is over 4000 km from Ukraine, but $500 drones are currently wiping out $100 million planes. Russia’s Pearl Harbor.

NEW: At least 26 killed, 150 wounded as Israeli tanks reportedly open fire on starving Palestinians gathered at an aid station. BBC has geo-located this video at Salah al-Din road, near the aid distribution site in the Netzarim Corridor. Aid as a death trap.
