Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said, openly, on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel. History is happening in front of our eyes. Don't look away. Please help share this widely. Read the full story here: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

A million years ago, this was a national scandal. Today, it is just an every day occurrence that we all tacitly accept.

“When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy.”

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

CONCENTRATING them. Into CAMPS.

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

George Floyd should be alive today. He should be raising his daughter, living his life. 5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags. His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.” Let’s stop failing her, and him. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

we live in a society where corporations can just kill people outright and the media and police obediently declare it a suicide but if a CEO gets whacked in plain sight we must all take our hats off and bow our heads in respect for the Working Class Billionaire Hero.

the deportations are not final. the regime and security forces fuck up constantly. escape and survival are not just possible but probable. this nightmare engine can be fought and is being fought. don't forget.

I am a staunch free speech supporter. But after ten years of freaking out about woke students deplatforming right-wing speakers, I don't have the energy to pivot to criticizing a fascist president for launching an all-out attack on free expression at universities.

young men, it is in your interest to develop hobbies beyond watching anime, jacking off, and playing video games. consider woodworking, photography, or transporting dangerous explosives across 218 miles of central america

*Right after* the UK, France, and Canada warned that they will take "concrete actions" if Israel does not de-escalate its violence in Palestine, Israel shoots at diplomats from those nations.

What Kenneth Roth and others reduce to "identity politics" is always an effort by a particular oppressed group to be afforded the rights, privileges and protections enjoyed by a society's dominant groups. It's the very promise of liberalism, no more, no less.

this is violence against the American people and should be met in kind.

NEW footage of Mahmoud Khalil’s warrantless ICE arrest reveals that Trump’s government continues to lie about his case. Read @premthakker.bsky.social’s story — and watch the full video: zeteo.com/p/new-video-...

This is objectively abnormal, insane and genocidal, and anyone who is still in denial that the war aim is quite simply the destruction of the Palestinian people in Gaza is an unserious human being who does not have to be engaged with.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Stop calling A.I. slop “art” and real human-created works “content”

Joe Biden relitigation is catnip for the press because it gives them a chance to avoid saying difficult things about the present situation we are all in while also getting to talk about themselves

Trump pardoned the Jan. 6 rioters who injured more than 140 police officers in one of the biggest mass attacks on law enforcement in American history

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

Everyone seems very worried about "Gosh, well what do we tell the transphobic people to get them to vote for Democrats?" Tell them to get the fuck over it. Tell them, straight to their faces, "I feel embarrassed for you that this is a thing you are whining about."

Trump is checked out. Only reacting to the world through his TV. Which provides shelter from his untreated PTSD. He lets Eichmann-ish viziers run the country according to their own perverted designs. The Beltway press is on book tours dropping bombshells that Biden was slightly older than him.

Republicans don’t want more “parents” at home. They want women at home, out of the public sphere, economically dependent on men for their whole lives— permanently relegated to second class citizens. Fixed it for you, NYT.

If they suspend Habeas Corpus, it won't just be for "migrants" or "illegals" or "criminals." If they suspend Habeas Corpus it will be for you and me and whomever this regime decides is unfit, undesirable, and a threat or a problem. This is how it works. This is how it's always worked.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

I will vote for any Democrat who promises to prosecute any ice agent who detains or arrests anyone illegally.

If you read the testimonies of the people starving to death in Gaza you'll realise that they had normal lives and jobs two years ago. They worked in IT, they were chefs or nurses, they had small businesses, they underwent IVF, they cooked big family meals. They are no different to you or me.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

biggest divide in american politics is not between left or right. its between people who believe adulthood requires self-discipline and those who do not

Colleagues, the autism registry doesn’t exist without our participation Repeat after me: fuck you, make me If you care about Autistic people “Fuck you, make me.”

America: where having an autism awareness tattoo means you're an MS-13 gang member, but having a swastika tattoo just means you're a German history buff

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

As a patriotic American who believes very firmly in freedom, I'd like to very plainly state that someone else's gender is none of my business, and people living their lives as they so choose in that regard has no impact on mine whatsoever.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Its kind of becoming clear that American conservatives don't just hate liberalism (late 20th century market-friendly socially egalitarian values) they hate Liberalism (18th century philosophy embracing individual rights and democracy)
