Incredible report in the Washington Post suggests Trump fired Waltz because he was colluding with Israel to drag the US into a war with Iran:

Israel just drone-struck a humanitarian ship in international waters near Malta. B/c the US & UK are morally consistent, they’re mobilizing their navies to strike Israel (like they do Yemen) to ensure freedom of navigation in the Mediterranean. J/k, Israel is above the law.

This child (now 2) is in foster care after the Trump regime deported both of her parents. The NYT reports: "the girl cried when she moved among families and seemed confused about who she belonged to." Unimaginable cruelty.

Evil is the only word that can describe this. Unmitigated cruelty that should haunt us until the end of time.

At some point, someone in Lebanon will likely respond to this, & when they do, US corporate media will wake up & report on it like an unprovoked attack that broke the ceasefire & then host commentators to talk about Israel’s right to defend itself.

If any other country murdered an American child, it would be a crisis. But Israel murders a 14-year-old Palestinian-American, & it doesn't even come up when Trump & Netanyahu meet at the White House. For Trump, Israel is above the law, even when they kill an American kid.

The lunacy of this can’t be emphasized enough. WE HAD A DEAL under Obama that prevented Iran from getting nukes. Trump shredded it. How do you shred a deal & then threaten the other side for not complying? This would be the dumbest & most catastrophic war in living memory.

The top headline of one of Israel’s leading papers. It’s unimaginable that any major US outlet would have the moral courage to speak this candidly about Israel’s crimes.

Israel has bombed Lebanon practically every day for months. After endless Israeli ceasefire violations, someone in south Lebanon fired a rocket, so now Israel is bombing the capital Beirut. Israel’s rules are simple: “we’re mobsters who do whatever we want, & see what happens if you object.”

Imagine what the news coverage would be like if Hamas had just killed 700+ Israelis. But it’s Palestinians being murdered, so it’s a foot note. Hundreds of children brutally killed with US-supplied weapons, but life goes on like nothing is happening.

Israel killed 174 Palestinian children over night, in just a few hours. Over the past year & a half, Israel's genocide has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian children. Not since the Rwandan genocide has anyone killed children at the rate Israel is murdering them.

If the media did its job, this genocide would’ve ended in a week. If Americans saw a live feed, day in & day out, of the Palestinian children being systematically shredded by the Israeli government, not one politician would dare tell voters they must keep funding this sadistic butchery.

After repeatedly violating every single commitment under the ceasefire, Israel is now fully resuming the genocide of the already destroyed Gaza concentration camp. The world is watching. History will remember who stood on the sidelines of this unspeakable atrocity.

It’s no surprise that an authoritarian president who thrives in chaos would have a problem with people who believe in accountability & the rule of law. We stand with @normeisen.bsky.social & @crew.bsky.social, & together we’ll keep challenging Trump’s lawlessness in court, & winning!

Winning an election is not a mandate to break laws, dismantle congressionally-funded agencies, disappear people over dissent, & wholesale rob the American people. Authoritarianism came knocking, & Schumer is rolling the red carpet instead of barricading the gate. Unbelievable!

Explicit in this statement is that Trump views Palestinians as the enemy, so even tepid pushback to Trump's assault on the First Amendment makes one "a Palestinian" in Trump's eyes. Just a remarkable level of racism & dehumanization on full display for everyone to see.

Any decent human being should be heartbroken over the fate of the Bibas children. What's utterly depraved is pro-genocide propagandists superimposing a manufactured & inflammatory narrative on this tragedy in order to justify the mass murder of more children.

Trump today lifted sanctions against violent Israeli settlers, said he's "not confident" the Gaza ceasefire will last (likely letting Israel continue the genocide after phase 1), reiterated Jared's sentiment abt how valuable Gaza's real estate could be, & will resume sending 2000lb bombs to Israel.

Israel killed 80 Palestinians in Gaza today, 30 of whom killed after the ceasefire deal was announced. Israel always accelerates its massacres in the lead-up to ceasefire deadlines. Gaza also remains a besieged concentration camp reduced to rubble. The crisis is far from over.

There have been many horrible atrocities in history, but if you told me you could livestream the systematic shredding of children EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. for over a year and the world would just let it continue, I would've called you a liar. Week 62 of Israel's genocide in Gaza. Shame on humanity.

Syria is finally free from a repressive dictatorship that ruled it for decades, but regional forces are now applying overwhelming pressure (Israel doing so militarily) to control Syria’s strategic role in the region. Freedom is not complete until Syria’s destiny is truly determined by its people.

The speed at which the Syrian army is falling apart after Hezbollah’s withdrawal from Syria is reminiscent of the speed at which the Afghan army fell apart following the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. The regional implications are cataclysmic.

The world’s largest human rights organization is now affirming the growing consensus among credible experts: Israel is indeed committing genocide in Gaza. In a better world, it wouldn’t require courage to speak the truth. But in this world, Amnesty International deserves credit for speaking up!
